So on one node I'd like to have a device called _RTAx: which connects, through DECnet, to a terminal TTAx: on another DECnet node. Then I want to use the SMG$xxxx library calls to do single character i/o on it. In the VMS manuals, the only way that it's described is through the DCL command SET HOST. After using this command, a new device with the name _RTAx: is created on the host to which I'm switching; and a DECnet link is set up to an object called CTERM in the REMACP image. I can't find any description of this in the VMS manuals. I wonder, does anyone know of a way to do this kind of thing from within an application? We're running VMS 4.5 on a 750, but it should also work on a uVAX (3500). I'd appreciate any help, by mail or through the net. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pim Willemsen | ========= BSO/Automation Technology mcvax!bsovax!pim | == BSO == POB 8052 | ========= 3503 RB Utrecht, The Netherlands
