[HECnet] Public Services over DECnet

[Rob Jarratt]

A SYS$QIO is just a system call used to perform I/O.

 

An AST is an "asynchronous system trap", otherwise known as an interrupt
routine.

 

An event flag is a process synchronisation mechanism.

My experience with OpenVMS was mostly doing SYS$QIOs, ASTs and Event Flags
controlling factory shop-floor equipment

 

I don't know what SYS$QIOs, ASTs or Event Flags are yet, but controlling
factory shop floor equipment sounds like my cup of tea!

 

Setting up anonymous file access sounds straightforward. I need to read up
on access control for launching remote batch jobs.
