| >1) Doesn't pick up the LAT definitions - this could be because VCS (on
>another machine) was hogging the ports.
PCM creates it's LAT ports dynamically when it's started and stores the
target port name and target server name in it's database. VCS however,
stores only the name of the local port i.e., LTAxxxx in it's database.
Coding the conversion program to pull the local port names out and
interrogate them to see where they pointed was probably more trouble
than it was worth.

Can the labels be moved independantly of the icons.
No. You may position them top or bottom. You may also turn them off and
create a seperate text label if you wish, however this will not move
with the icon.
The large icon. I thought I had got rid of that one. Sorry I shall go
back and do something about it.
Cheers Simon....

| Another bug that I found in the conversion of VCS database was that users with
all privileges did not have and END: and blank line at the end of the section.

| Paul,
Thank for the feedback, Dave has answered your 1st point and Simon about the
labels and large icon. Let me try and address the other points.
>>2) You need to leave a space between @ and the filename - this is strange to VMS
>>users!
I dont understand what you are getting at, where are you seeing
this problem?
>>3) The cluster definitions are not converted to groups
This will be in the next kit
>>4) Some of the events in VCS don't need converting eg LINERR etc.
We convert everything, we have no way of knowing if the user has done
something dumb and replaced the VCS event with one of their own, so we have
left all the event and scan definitions alone.
>>5) All the systems are given generic icons
This is done because we dont really know if we have a match between the
users icon in the VCS database and our own, especially if the user had
created their own VCS icons. The easiest thing to do is set them to the
default. You can easily change them afterwards, either in the Console Manager
editor, or the C3.
Again, thanks for the feedback, keep it coming...
Cheers,
Phil

| 185.6 | Clarification | BBPPDR::ROWELL | Paul Rowell @BBP - OCSDC UK | Tue Feb 15 1994 13:56 | 23 |
| re .0 & .5 ref 2)
I wasn't very clear was I!!!
In the CONSOLE EDIT/INTER=CHAR if you type the following:-
CM EDIT> @myfile.port
It says:-
@TEST: Command not found
Usage: add delete export exit help import @ modify quit save set show use verify
?
But if you type:-
CM EDIT> @ myfile.port
It works.
VMS users are used to @commandfile.com sort of mentality.

| On VMS, teh indirect command file support was given up in favor of an
'import' and 'export' utility. In doing so, it enabled us to maintain
a consistent user interface across different platforms.
The '@ filename' should have barked and given you an error message.
Cheers,
Dave

| Dave,
I actually decided to add this specifically for OpenVMS users (and me, I
hate typing more than I have to!) and as a side effect, Unix users get it
too (that the beuty of a common code base). anyway the fix for "@name" and
"@ name" is in, you can now type either.
Cheers,
Phil
