790.0. "Jukebox question????" by HGOVC::PATRICKNG () Fri Feb 21 1997 04:59

Hi,


A customer has purchased two Jukeboxs - RW530-ZC and RW524-ZA. They wan to know 
whether WORM can share between VAX and PC. VAX output the data (I guess it is a 
ASCII file) to Jukeboxs and then it will be retrieved from both VAX/OVMS 6.2 or 
PC windows.

If PC couldn't access the jukebox from the network, can they read the CD from PC 
by manually.


Thanks,
Patrick

790.1	maybe Pathworks type product	TAPE::SENEKER	Head banging causes brain mush	`Fri Feb 21 1997 09:56`	8
	It is very unlikely that any PC optical software packages will be able to read files created by OSMS. I think a possible alternative you could use is Pathworks (or whatever product it has become). Since OSMS optical disks look like magnetic disks to the VAX you should be able to use whatever products that exist to export this data to the PC. Rob
790.2	DECUS has it now, I think	EVMS::EVERHART		`Fri Feb 21 1997 15:33`	7
	In the DECUS library are routines put there by Perceptics to allow reading WORMS-11 disks on generic OSs, and also is source code in C to read VMS disks on generic OSs. (The ODS2 reader in fact will list directories or copy files; I suspect the Perceptics code does something similar). I don't know any particular reason why a PC compiler couldn't digest these...
