[HECnet] Introducing myself... and my little network

[Peter Lothberg]

1) Defining the permanent node database for both TOPS10 and TOPS20. NCP 
rejects the DEFINE NODE commands. I guess there is some sort of utility 
like the one in RSX (CFE) to define the "permanent" node list, but I've 
not been able to find that one. There is a NIPGEN in TOPS-10 to build a 
CMD file with the SET NODE commands, but no NIPGEN in TOPS-20 that I've 
been able to find...

T10/T20 has no permanent database, nor does it understand copy, look
for a program named nodnam.exe it reads ini:NODNAM.INI and populated the
node-name-table.. 

And nodnam.ini looks like this...

define node       1.42 name   BIGBOA
define node     1.100 name   FLETCH
define node     1.150 name   GLGMSH
define node     1.200 name   PLINTH
define node     1.201 name   CRISPS
define node     1.202 name   NIPPER
define node     1.301 name   CTEPBA
define node     1.302 name   XPEH


2) LAT. LAT works fine in TOPS-20. In TOPS-10 LCP tells me LAT is 
active, but it does not work (does not even announce itself). How do I 
enable LAT in TOPS-10?

Don't knew.

3) And, spealking of LAT... How do I change the service identification 
in TOPS-20?

What do you mean with service identification? The stuff in "sh exec
char?"

I mean, how do I change it PERMANENTLY? I guess I have to 
put it in some sort of auto-executing file. SYSTEM.CMD? Something in 
7-1-CONFIG.CMD? Again, any pointer to docs would be very appreciated. I 
don't want to bug you with the thousands of questions I've got :)

Right


There is nothing permanent, unless you poke it in to the monitr.exe
file....
