[HECnet] HECnet Area Request

[Steve Davidson]

If you are running VMS then contact me offline and I will give you a
copy of my "field-test" procedures that maintain DECnet databases.   It
makes use of MIM::[DECNET]NODENAMES.DAT.   It will NOT update your area!
This is because some areas have VMS clusters and there is no guarantee
that LANACP is used for communications.   If DECnet is used these
procedures will corrupt satellite node information in the DECnet
database for that cluster.

It does REQUIRE that SCSSYSTEMID matches the (<area>*1024)+<node>.     So
if you have changed areas but have not updated SCSSYSTEMID the procedure
will NOT work.

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...

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.
