Johnny,

excuse my ignorance, but how do I execute your fix.cmd inside NCP?   Is there a VMS DCL one-liner that I can type that will execute NCP and cause it to run your script?

Doh! I have always assumed that VMS was as generic as RSX, and that basically any program with a standard like interface like NCP took @filename as a possible command, meaning to read commands from that file. It would appear VMS don't do that.

Brian's sugegstion using PIPE looks reasonable, but I can create a more VMS-specific command file as well. Hang on...

I now have a MIM::US:[DECNET]FIX.COM, which should be usable from DCL on VMS...

Thanks!

Did you manage to fix the problem with mim not reporting the full node list?   It's about time I grabbed an updated copy (with all of the new additions) but I didn't want to grab something that was corrupt.

I've been fighting MIM about that, but for some reason it just will not cooperate. I have two solutons for you:
1. Copy each area as individual commands (MIM knows it all, it just seems that the list of known nodes does not list all known nodes now. Bug in NCP methinks at this point...)
2. Grab MIM::US:[DECNET]FIX.CMD which contains all the DEFINE commands for NCP for all the nodes, and run it in NCP on your machine.

I can create command files in other formats easily if there are any special requests. Just let me know...

	Johnny

A17RTR:: would work... :)

    Hey, that's a good scheme.   I will likely do that as well.

Several areas already do that. :-)

  Excellent. :-)   Would you please remove "GW" at 61.1 and add
"A61RTR" as 61.1023?

Sign me up for that as well.

Please add A52RTR as 52.1023

Done.
