NJE TCP resets
Every so often (once a day to once a month), we have NJE disconnects and reconnects. We have done packet traces and don't see any reason it should be disconnecting. From the RSCS console: 20:57:50 Socket error on link BSIVSE27 request=Recv 20:57:50 return code=- 1 error number=53 (Software caused connection abort) 20:57:50 Link BSIVSE27 session terminated 20:57:50 Link BSIVSE27 deactivated About a minute before the reset, we see a keep-alive and a valid response. The link auto-reconnects right away. -- Tony Thigpen

It's a relatively recent development (and about 20 years too late -- we could have been spared Windows entirely if DEC had bought a clue way back when...*sigh*), but it's actually fueling a renaissance in VMS usage. VMS is a nice, tight, secure, easy to manage system, with decent batch and tape processing capabilities, and excellent compilers and compatibility with the IBM extensions for COBOL, a decent CICS replacement, etc, etc. It's a terrific replacement for small VSE and z/OS shops who can't get an affordable z system these days. HP doesn't seem to have such a huge problem with hobbyist use, either. Now if someone would port REXX to VMS instead of DCL... hmm. Now that's a useful thought. > What's next, Mac under z/VM? :-) TOPS-20, of course. If I say "fiat lux", then I expect the OS to turn the lights on reliably, with a proper Emacs for editing the universe's config files. Galaxy on Z -- it's about time we got a decent batch system for Z. *grin* 8-) Actually, if this emulation approach we're using for the Alpha works out as it appears to be doing, PPC operating systems like AIX and i5OS would be a logical next step. Licensing for Mac OSX Server would probably just be a RPITA to get, even if I could get proper emulation working.

Re: Bus and Tag Cable Colors and Speeds
I remember that the "new blue" B&T cables were the faster. I don't remember any others than gray altho I seem to remember seeing beige or tan or whatever. I suspect that beige|tan|brown are the same as gray but I don't know. At any rate, stick with blue and remember "gray away". Jim David L.

Full volume minidisk FTP
Using VMFTP, how is the best way to transmit full volume minidisks (mixed CMS, VSE, and z/OS) to a backup site? --. .- .-. -.-- Gary Dennis
Re: Full volume minidisk FTP
Get the PIPEDDR package off of the VM download site and use the FTP option to dump or restore the disk to or from a file on an FTP server. Or, you can get the DRPC package from the same place and use DDR to do this, but you'll have to write your own Rexx exec to manage all the details.

The oil/gas business went nuts over the DEC VAX boxes, running VMS, for number crunch seismic applications, and I've used it beforevery nice interactive system. The editor would automatically create versions of files as you made revisions. so going back to a previous version was very simple. I never saw anything that could come close to that until I got to use Xedit with Update. The other thing about VMS was the quality of the DEC supplied compilers. Fortran was very common, of course, but DEC also put out an excellent, full featured PL/I one as well. And all compiled languages used the same calling conventions and common run time library, so writing apps using different languages was a snap. Somewhere around here I still have the complete set of DEC VMS PL/I documentation. > Now if someone would port REXX to VMS instead of DCL... > hmm.
