- Hello!
-
- We have a bunch VMS systems running various data collection hardware
- and a DECsystem/Ultrix4.2 as a hub computer (data storage/analysis).
- Currently we access files on the VMS systems by external processess (a
- la system("dcp ...");) copying the file to a local disk, and then
- reading the file in a normal way. However, I would like to be able to
- open/read files directly from my program.
-
- The decnet example directory contains some examples how to hook up to
- DECnet, but I couldn't find any details on using the FAL access
- protocol. An example program that opens and reads a DECnet file
-
- VAX1"accnt passwd"::DISK1:[dir]file.dat;1
-
- would suffice to start me up; or, if you believe that I should get a
- fishing rod instead of a fish :^) please send me the references to the
- manuals containing the FAL stuff.
-
- Thanks very much
