5805.0. " ! GET_ENVIRONMENT OpneVMS 7.1 gives you the Graphics Option !" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" () Fri Mar 14 1997 08:03

 Very good news !
	With OpenVMS 7.1 you get the Graphigs Options via

	$ COPY PALME::SYS$PUBLIC:GET_ENVIRONMENT.COM * ( to your System )
	$ @GET_ENVIRONMENT

    V7.1 uses a file based configuration method.  Part of the information
    in the file is a text string "description" of the device.  This string
    can be obtained by things like CLUE CONFIG to use as the user-readable
    device name.

 Hi Fred,
	It is a pity that SDA> CLUE CONFIG tells you not if it is
	a ZLXP-E1
		ZLXP-E2
			ZLXP-E3

    The configuration database keys off of the device ID.  PCI devices
    provide a 32-bit ID, and V2 devices can optionally have a board
    specific 32-bit ID (making the full ID 64-bits).
    
    If the ZLXp-E1...E3 all have seperate ID's then they each could have a
    seperate string to identify them.  In fact, they actually may, but the
    database currently contains just what minimal information was found in
    the comments in the old hardwired table.
    
    Now, all this is complicated by the fact that the Open3D group uses
    their own ICBM for configuring at least some of their devices.  And the
    DECwindows group has yet another one (that I wrote and shipped before I
    actually moved onto changing the OpenVMS configuration method).
    
    The DECwindows autoconfig will probably have it's devices migrated into
    the system file, except for ISA card probing.
    
    In any case, the devices that are known to the system can be found in
    SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$CONFIG.DAT
