I have a user with what could be a decent idea. I am not a 100% A1 user
so I need an expert users opinion.
The user wants to be able to do their own archive of their file
cabinets. Since the user has only a PC I thought what if I could get
them a "BERNOULI" or similar type of removeable disk for the PC and
redirect a filecabinet to point to the remote disk. The user then could
move the files they want to save to the remote disk. This way the user
could free up valuable VAX space and still be able to go back and
recover old documents. Is there any way of redirecting using DECnet the
location of a file-cabinet?

>> Since the user has only a PC Are they using ALL-IN-1 IOS via a terminal emulator on the PC? Or are they using Teamlinks? Or what? It sounds like PATHworks may be the thing they want. A simple answer to your question is: yes, if the PC is on DECnet with the VAX, then they can copy files to the PC. How they do the copy though depends on what system/tools/applications they are using or want to use. Scott | |||||

It sounds like they want more than the simple ability to copy files, it
sounds like they want to have the FILECAB.DAT physically located on
the pc and/or the removable disk?
If so, I think the answer is no. the filecabinet is based on where
the users profile says it is, the file that contains all your drawers,
FILECAB.DAT has to live there. If you can get a setup in which you
can convince IOS to let you give the a1 directory as teh pc disk, then
you could do it. I don't think you can do this though.
