191.0. "DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT" by MARTY::FRIEDMAN () Thu Apr 02 1987 15:54

Is it a terrible thing to do to edit DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT and change
the default queue for a particular device?

191.1it's just an ASCII fileCLOSET::ANKLAMThu Apr 02 1987 17:1410
    
    no, it's not. we advised against it when we developed the scheme
    for modifying/updating it based on absolute line numbers. but it
    looks as though we're going to provide a tool for updating it.
    
    so if you need to go change a queue name, go ahead. Do be careful
    of line ends, comments and continuation characters though. It's
    a little sensitive.

I am just now on my way out to buy a bar of Lava soap. Hope this 
does the job.

191.5Log name (?), Videotex, and SUMSLPCASPRO::JDEADERICKJoan E. DeaderickThu Apr 23 1987 12:2216
Three things about DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT:

1) Is there a logical name for this file (that could be redirected
   to a local copy--I still have not been able to direct LN03 
   output to the printer nearest me)?

2) I noticed that "lines 101 - 109 are for VIDEOTEX support".  Does 
   that mean that Videotex is going to be a destination?  If so, when?

3) Is the SUMSLP editor a batch editor (related to the old SLIPER editor)?
   Where can it be obtained?


Always curious,

Joan Deaderick
191.6/PRINT, prototype, obsoleteCLOSET::ANKLAMThu Apr 23 1987 17:1712
    
    1. Did you try /print=(queue:local-queue-name)  to get files to
       print near you?
    
    2. The VIDEOTEX destination is something we are working on a prototype
       of, but it is on a back burner (workstations have a higher priority
       character cell terminals these days)
    
    3. The FT update will provide a program that lets you update
       DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT
