[HECnet] SCSISE adapter -> listings

[Erik Olofsen]

I had to try too, under VAX/VMS 5.5-2:

$ monitor
MONITOR> monitor ethernet
%MONITOR-E-NOCLASSES, no classes specified
MONITOR> monitor notthere
%MONITOR-E-INVCLSNM, class-name "NOTTHERE" is invalid or not uniquely identified
MONITOR>

I wrote the original patches for Monitor that enabled those hidden classes, and the Pagewapper article that detailed how to apply them 


I haven't had an opportunity to check on newer versions of VMS, but it's trivial to see if at least some support is still there for them. 


On a VMS system, try 


$ MON ETHERNET 


or any of the other undocumented monitor classes. Then try a command that definitely isn't going to be there 


$ MON NOTTHERE 


If the error messages are different - then at least some of the support for the undocumented classes is still there.

Brian, 
Speaking of source listings, VMS V4.<mumble> had a "secret" patch for 
MONITOR.EXE. It enabled the monitor class Ethernet. Is that code still 
hidden in MONITOR? 
The MONITOR utility was written in PL/I at the time. Probably rewritten, 
right?
