- What in the world makes you think I DIDN'T try this? Your attitude is a best
- condescending and at worst deliberately insulting. Hope you don't treat your
- clients this way, because you'll poison the well for a lot of other good
- consultants.
-
- To produce a counter example for your statement:
-
- HULK::USER1:[..CODE1]$ sho log/full sys$node
- "SYS$NODE" [exec,crelog] = "HULK::" [terminal] (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
-
- HULK::USER1:[..CODE1]$ define/system/exec/trans=terminal sys$node foo::
- %DCL-I-SUPERSEDE, previous value of SYS$NODE has been superseded
- HULK::USER1:[..CODE1]$ sho log/full sys$node
- "SYS$NODE" [exec] = "FOO::" [terminal] (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
-
- after creating a new note in a local notes file:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Note 3.0 test No replies
- HULK::MUNROE 2 lines 13-OCT-1992
- 23:54
-
- this is a test
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Note that HULK is STILL present in the topic header, clearly indicating that
- the translation does NOT come from SYS$NODE.
-
- So, as usual, Ehud shoots his mouth off and gets it wrong. Clearly something
- is going on that neither one of us understands completely.
-
- Now I haven't tried actually creating the logical using the SYS$CRELOG system
- service, but that's because I haven't got any documentation old enough to
- refresh my memory of the interface.
