Many thanx to the people who replied to my question about running RSX tasks under P/OS. And my apology for replying publicly to the net (our mail router isnt functioning properly; I can recive mail, but cannot reply) Anyways. The command PIP FOO.BAR/CO/NV=FOO.BAR works just fine. I assume that the /CO stands for CONTIGIOUS, waht does the /NV stand for? (btw: I accomplished this using the DCL command COPY/CONTIG, which I assume spawn PIP with the above parameters) Now comes the fun part:-) Trying to build up a software base. An unfortunate observation. It seems that quite a bit of tasks need a resident image installed in memory to run, and some look for other task files. When P/OS aborts, it doesnt specify _which_ file it is looking for. For instance, a version of ADVENTURE aborted with some mumbo jumbo, and reported a directory spec: [001001], which I would assume is looking for some kind of message data base. (dont bother trying to make sense out of this psycobabble:-) I am just making an observation) Does anyone have the DECUS P/OS sig stuff? Theres quite a bit of stuff for the P/OS listed in the Pro 350 section. But unfortunatly, I cannot justify spending over $200 for this software Billy D'Augustine billy@westmark.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
