[HECnet] License loading madness

[Paul_Koning at Dell.com]

So what are the messages?   What does the file look like in an editor, or with the TYPE command?

Tried that, and STREAM_CR - the files were created on OS X which is Unix-y.

Oh well, got it going in the end - won't let the damn things expire again so that reloading them is easier.

BTW, does someone have a license database pruner that'll kill expired licenses?

So I'm trying to load some licenses onto CHIMPY and am about to throw the
box out of the window.

Basically, I burnt the licenses as .COM files onto a CDROM, and mounted them
on the VMS box as follows:

MOUNT DQB1: /MEDIA=CDROM/OVER=ID/UNDEF=(STREAM_LF:132)

When I try to run the COM file, I get loads of weird DCL errors, it's clearly not parsing the file right.

This should not be this difficult.


If the files were created on windows which tends to like CRLF delimited files,
maybe something like:

$ MOUNT DQB1: /MEDIA=CDROM/OVER=ID/UNDEF=(STREAM:132)

would work better?

If this is not the case, more information about the way the files were created
and what the weird DCL errors were would be helpful.
