991.0. "DDIF over VMS & ULTRIX" by BARNA::FURIO () Wed Jun 21 1989 12:14

    
    	I have two vaxstations: one with VMSDECwindows 5.1 and the other
    with UWS 2.0.
    
    	I can't access from the VMS Paint application to a DDIF file
    in the Ultrix worstation. I can't also access from de Ultrix Paint
    application to a DDIF file in the VMS workstation. 
    
    	I've tryed to copy first the DDIF file from one machine to the
    other but still does not work. I thought the DDIF files were compatible
    over both operating system. Is this supposition false?
    
    
    				Thanks, Xavi

Did you dcp -i it?  The default is to copy it as though it were text, and that
doesn't work for things that aren't text.

    If you're pulling from Ultrix to VMS, you have to use EXCHANGE/NETWORK.

991.3Still does not workBARNA::FURIOThu Jun 22 1989 03:1411
    
    I have tried the command   dcp -i   from Ultrix to VMS and I get
    an "unsupported document format" when accessing it through the 
    VMS DDIF viewer.
    
    I have tried the EXCHANGE/NETWORK  from Ultrix to VMS. Same result.
    
    
    The version of VMS is 5.1-1
    UWS 2.0 (Ultrix 3.0)

991.4Try set file....AKOV06::LANGER"BERTHOLD LANGER DTN:244-6312"Thu Jun 22 1989 08:4723
Hi,

I did the same thing and it worked by using:

dcp -i /x/y/file  node::"disk:[dir]file.ddif" 
---------------------------------------------


After copying it over I do a:

$set file/semantics=ddif [dir]file.ddif
---------------------------------------


And then call it into the ddif-viewer or DECwrite.


Hope it works for you,too.
