1468.0. "HARRIER.ARC" by MTWAIN::MACDONALD (WA1OMM Listening 52.525) Sat Jun 11 1988 21:47

An animation of a Harrier jet taking off vertically and landing the
    same is located in:
    
    PAULY"AMIGA"::HARRIER.ARC
    
    The animation uses both chip and fast memory, so don't bother running
    it if you do not have any expansion ram.

Been trying to copy this all morning :-)

%COPY-E-OPENIN, error opening PAULY"amiga"::HARRIER.ARC; as input

    The system went down a couple times.

    I've tried to copy files from Pauly"amiga" on other occasions and 
    tried again last night with the same result as on previous tries.  
    Curious coincidence :-)
    
    %FTSV-E-OPENIN, error opening PAULY"amiga"::HARRIER.ARC;2 as input
    -RMS-E-FND, ACP file or directory lookup failed

Looks like PAULY::'s DECNET account is screwed up. Have you done anything nasty
lately like install securpak or something :-) ?

Or maybe you changed the DECNET password and forgot to change it in BOTH
NCP and AUTHORIZE?

    For some reason it keeps going down. The PRO380 appears to be sensitive
    to low voltage ... with all this heat it may be croaking. I will
    post it to MTWAIN::USER:[MACDONALD.AMIGA]HARRIER.ARC

Yikes!  A PRO? on the NET even??

New location works fine.

    So thats why your directories aren't sorted...

    Well, it has 60 Mbytes of storage and functions as a print server
    for an LN03.

    A print server ?
    
    How does that work ?

    P.S. I spotted the fact that PAULY was a pro a long time ago - great
    for a single user (whats wrong with PDP-11s ?)

Nothing!  In fact we (LEDS hard disk buyouts) have about 30 pro 350/380
machines in the lab. Thats where 80% of the qualification for ALL RDxx type
disks happens...

Now, for a yet-to-be-announced-product-line, we have about 25 VAXstation II's

    RE:.10
    
    The PRO is a node and there is an LN03 connected to it. Anyone on
    the network can send a file to it, provided they have the correct
    logical defined on their account. A utility on the PRO searched
    a specific directory for any recently copied files (say every 30
    seconds or so). If it finds a file the PRO says, "Hey, there is
    a file that I should print and then delete after printing." It
    works pretty well.

How does the PRO know about a logical name in the REMOTE account??

John
1468.14one way to do itSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterThu Jun 16 1988 15:318
    I suspect the PRO knows about the _definition_ of the logical name.
    For example, if the logical name is
    
    	PRINT_ON_THE_LN03 = "THEPRO::DU0:[376,376]"
    
    and the program searches DU0:[376,376] for new files, then copying
    to logical name PRINT_ON_THE_PRO will cause your file to be printed.

I think the PRO only knows what DECNET sends it for destination info.

It doesn't know the difference between someone on a vax (or whatever remote
network system) typing:

$ define PRINT_ON_THE_LN03 = "THEPRO::DU0:[376,376]"
$ copy file PRINT_ON_THE_LN03:

or typing:

$ copy file THEPRO::DU0:[376,376]
