160.0. "Support person wanted..." by ZAPDEV::MACONI (The Doctor is In) Wed Apr 05 1995 21:17

    The ASSETS team is currently seeking someone/some group to provide
    support for DEC ZAP.  If we do not find support, we will be forced 
    to retire it from our product offering.

    There is a plan that is almost approved to provide expense relief
    for the engineering support for ASSETS products.

    Are you interested?  Do you know of someone that might be?


    Thanks for any information

Hello,

	ZAP is written entirely in PASCAL with a few DCL command procedures.
In addition, all documentation is written in DOCUMENT.  To support this product,
you would need to know the following:

	o Understanding of PASCAL programming language including the use
	  of system calls

	o Understanding of DOCUMENT

	o Understanding of VMS Internals, both VAX and Alpha, especially
	  memory management, process control procedures and data structures

	o Familiarity with how DECwindows/Motif operates internally

	o Familiarity with the VMS Message utility and procedures

	The most complex function that ZAP performs actually probes directly
into system data structures and retrieves process data not normally available
and manipulates various system, job and process logical name tables.
