[HECnet] DCL Help needed

Multinet circuits are in the form of "TCP-x-y".   Both "x" and "y" are
assignable and default to zero (0).   I have been using "x" to denote
physical circuit and "y" to denote area end-point.   This way I no longer
have to remember (or guess) what the other end is.   SG1:: only has one
(1) NIC so in my case "x" is always zero (0).

DECnet LAN circuits are in the form of xxA-n, where "xx" is the
controller type, and "n" is the physical unit of that type (starting at
zero (0)).

And multidrop connections might be in the form xxx-yy.z if I remember right.

xxx is normally related to device type. yy in many cases are the number of the controller, and z the line on that controller.

And as usual, I might be remembering details wrong. :-)

Take whatever you need!   The new version will be better commented and
not require the reboot.   I will place a copy of the old version of the
data file (it matches this version) in the same directory.

I'm assuming .eqs. is rather limited (say the way = is in bash)?

Is there any sort of regex style matching available?

Short of that, is it fair to say that all circuit names in the output of

show known circuits will always be in the form of XXX-N for non-multinet

tunnels?
