1463.0. "FileView strange behaviour" by EMILE::TREGER (Treger Rabbit) Tue Sep 19 1989 15:46

I've just installed DECwindows V2.0 FT1 on my VS3100 and also on our VAXcluster.

It looks great except the following detail:

When I run FileView from the station, it gives all the options in the menu bar
such as "Control", "Customize" and so on. The same if I run it on a
microVAX 3600 we also have as a boot member for satellite stations.

When I run it on either node of the VAXcluster, I get none of the "Control"
options in the menu bar so I CAN'T EXIT FILEVIEW !! neither I can customize it
or anything like this.

Is there an explanation for this.

Both systems (VS and VAXcluster) are running VMS V5.2

Please note that I tried all ways to run VUE$MASTER in the VAxcluster:

[]	$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:VUE$MASTER
[]	$ MCR VUE$MASTER
[]	executing a DECnet object using:
	$ OPEN SYS$NET NODE"username password"::"TASK=DECW$VUE"
	run in batch mode from my station after being declared on the VAXcluster
	as a known object.

No way !!!

Please help,

Olivier

    Looks like an old system profile file lying around. See my response in
    the FileView notes file.
