- I'm having two problems with the cc:Mail channel under PMDF.
- The first, of irritance value only, is that it manipulates spaces
- inside quotes in names to underscores in it's output file namem,
- including those around the "AT" which signifies the post office to go
- to, so it's treated as one user. We've got around this with a small
- program on the DOS side to change it back, and using cc:Mail's
- directory propogation so we don't have to specify the post office.
- The second problem is that it only works one way. It creates
- the output file just fine, in the correct format, but it doesn't seem
- to look at the input file specified. EG:
-
- $ type pmdf_root:[table]cc_local_option.
- CC_GATEWAY_NAME=AARNet
- CC_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME=DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]CCMAIL.IMP
- CC_INPUT_FILE_NAME=DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]CCMAIL.EXP
-
- $ dir /date=all DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]
-
- Directory DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]
-
- CCMAIL.EXP;1 11-SEP-1992 12:16:38.60 11-SEP-1992 12:16:39.07 <None sp
- ecified> <No backup recorded>
- CCMAIL.IMP;1 11-SEP-1992 13:37:49.78 11-SEP-1992 13:35:34.00 <None sp
- ecified> <No backup recorded>
- TEST.IMP;1 11-SEP-1992 13:37:01.18 11-SEP-1992 13:35:34.00 <None sp
- ecified> <No backup recorded>
-
- $ show time

-
- ie, the file's been sitting there for over 24 hours.
-
- Obviously I'm doing something wrong as others have got this to
- work - can anyone offer any suggestions? The PC accesses the
- filesystem via PC-NFS through Multinet NFS on the VAX side.
-
- Thanks,
- Andrew.
