219.0. "FS][ Scenarios" by CHEF::ACCIARDI () Wed Dec 17 1986 07:41

    I have obtained an ARCHIVE file containing 80 interesting Flight
    Simulator ][ scenarios, such as taking off from the Golden Gate
    bridge.
    
    I have uploaded them to JAKE:USER2:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA], feel free to
    copy them and de-arc them yourselves.
    
    Note:  I uploaded using Comm132 and XMODEM, but I have not verified
    that the uploaded file works.  The original archive is sound, so
    let me know if you have any problems.

T.R	Title	User	Personal Name	Date	Lines
219.1	Prot. violation	RADON::MCCARTHY		`Wed Dec 17 1986 11:14`	4
	Sounds great. Could you unprotect them? Thanks, Mike
219.2	Try Again	CHEF::ACCIARDI		`Wed Dec 17 1986 13:16`	3
	Try it again. I gave 'World' read access to the file. (Sorry, I am still kinda new to VMS)
219.3	Grounded	RADON::MCCARTHY		`Wed Dec 17 1986 13:57`	3
	Nope, I still can't get to the files. Is the directory unprotected? Mike
219.4	Help!!	CHEF::ACCIARDI		`Wed Dec 17 1986 14:25`	12
	Hmmmm... All I did was type... $ Set protection - $_FSII.arc;1/protection=(world:re) Do I have to unprotect the entire directory? If so, how do I do it? This is a subdirectory, so do I have to unprotect the entire path to the Amiga directory? I was trained on DG AOS, and all this VMS stuff is very alien to me.
219.5	Double Colon between the node and device	AUTHOR::MACDONALD	CUP/ML	`Wed Dec 17 1986 14:43`	3
	Won't work like that .... You need JAKE:: not JAKE:
219.6	What's the vector, Victor?	RADON::MCCARTHY		`Wed Dec 17 1986 16:44`	4
	Try setting the protection of amiga.dir in your top level directory to world:re. I think that will work. Mike
219.7		BAGELS::BRANNON	Dave Brannon	`Wed Dec 17 1986 18:22`	4
	or just create a new subdirectory, like [.public], and make that world:re. Then just copy FSII.arc into it, and make it world:re. -dave
219.8	tyr again?	CHEF::ACCIARDI		`Thu Dec 18 1986 09:48`	2
	OK everybody, try it again. I think I've got it now. If not, I'll turn in my scarf and goggles.
219.9	Wrong Syntax	AUTHOR::MACDONALD	CUP/ML	`Thu Dec 18 1986 13:17`	6
	Ed, if you look at note 219.0 you will see that the file spec you gave is incorrect syntax. It should read JAKE::USER2:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA] not JAKE:USER2:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA] The latter will always generate an error message!
219.10	Here's the rub...	CHEF::ACCIARDI		`Thu Dec 18 1986 16:36`	15
	OK everybody, here is the problem.... I gave 'WORLD' access to pass thru my main directory, and to read files in my Amiga directory, but apparently the access priveleges for our system disk do not include world access. My system manager can change this for me, but I doubt if he would be too excited about my reasons. So, we can default to the old fashioned way, ie. send me a blank floppy, and I'll copy the files and return thru inter-office mail. Sorry for all the inconvenience....try to be a nice guy.... :^)
219.11	Try again?	CHEF::ACCIARDI		`Thu Dec 18 1986 16:49`	5
	My system manager is such a wonderful person that he totally fixed the problem, whatever it was. If it doesn't work this time, I'll need a rubber room for the night.
