  19.     I'm having two problems with the cc:Mail channel under PMDF.
  20. The first, of irritance value only, is that it manipulates spaces
  21. inside quotes in names to underscores in it's output file namem,
  22. including those around the "AT" which signifies the post office to go
  23. to, so it's treated as one user. We've got around this with a small
  24. program on the DOS side to change it back, and using cc:Mail's
  25. directory propogation so we don't have to specify the post office.
  26.     The second problem is that it only works one way. It creates
  27. the output file just fine, in the correct format, but it doesn't seem
  28. to look at the input file specified. EG:
  29.  
  30. $ type pmdf_root:[table]cc_local_option.
  31. CC_GATEWAY_NAME=AARNet
  32. CC_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME=DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]CCMAIL.IMP
  33. CC_INPUT_FILE_NAME=DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]CCMAIL.EXP
  34.  
  35. $ dir /date=all DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]
  36.  
  37. Directory DKA400:[POST_OFFICE]
  38.  
  39. CCMAIL.EXP;1         11-SEP-1992 12:16:38.60  11-SEP-1992 12:16:39.07   <None specified>   <No backup recorded>
  40. CCMAIL.IMP;1         11-SEP-1992 13:37:49.78  11-SEP-1992 13:35:34.00   <None specified>   <No backup recorded>
  41. TEST.IMP;1           11-SEP-1992 13:37:01.18  11-SEP-1992 13:35:34.00   <None specified>   <No backup recorded>
  42.  
  43. $ show time
  44.   12-SEP-1992 17:16:29
  45.  
  46. ie, the file's been sitting there for over 24 hours.
  47.  
  48.     Obviously I'm doing something wrong as others have got this to
  49. work - can anyone offer any suggestions? The PC accesses the
  50. filesystem via PC-NFS through Multinet NFS on the VAX side.
  51.  
  52. Thanks,
  53.     Andrew.
