It all worked fine for a couple of days and then: (DISK$STICKS:<MTHOMAS.HOME.SPECS>PRODUCT_SPECIFICATION.TEX;8 (DOC$ROOT:[TEX.FOR MATS]DOC$STARTUP.TEX;1 (DOC$ROOT:[LOCAL.FORMATS]CUP$LOCAL_ELEMENTS.TEX;1) (DOC$ ROOT:[TEX.FORMATS]TAG$GENERAL.DTP;1 (DOC$ROOT:[TEX.FORMATS]TAG$STANDARD_FONTS.L N;1)) (DOC$ROOT:[TEX.LN03.FONTS]LN03CHARS.TEX;1)) [i %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error %TEX-I-FILENAME, '' No pages of output. %TEX-I-PAGESOUT, 0 pages written. %TEX-I-OUTFILENAME,'disk$sticks:<mthomas.home.specs>DISK$STICKS:<MTHOMAS.DVI_LN3' Afraid we can't figure it out; any ideas? cheers Mike Thomas

| 44.1 | is filename also a logical name? | CLOSET::DEVRIES | Undetected errors will not be fixed | Mon Mar 02 1987 18:27 | 6 |
Do you have a logical name, such as PRODUCT_SPECIFICATION, that
points to that directory or file? It seems likely that TeX or some other
component may be using some system service to translate logical
names and that the way in which this service is used at that point
differs from the way other components resolve names.

| 44.2 | Use square-brackets! | HAMCL1::HOFFMANN | Tue Mar 03 1987 02:21 | 7 | |
Well, the problem is real simple: TEX refuses to accept anglebrackets. If you change your default directory to "[]" instead of using "<>"-pairs then everything will work. detlef. (who spent hours investigating this one!) | |||||

<SIGH>
Thanks - square brackets does the trick.
