- As has already been pointed out, VT1200s can't do DECNET. OTOH, your local
- VAX (running LAT) can run bookreader and access the files on the remote VAX.
- We are doing it that way now. (Just for confusion, we have 3 CD readers for
- the documentation set, on 3 nodes.) Just define the logicals on your local node
- something like:
-
- $ define/system/exec DECW$BOOK -
- RIGEL::DKB400:[DECW$BOOK],-
- ORION::DKB400:[DECW$BOOK],-
- ODIN::DKA400:[DECW$BOOK]
- $ define/system/exec DECW$BOOKSHELF -
- RIGEL::DKB400:[DECW$BOOK]DMASTER.DECW$BOOKSHELF
-
- Access would probably improve somewhat if you copied the .BOOKSHELF files to
- magnetic media on your local node and added it into the search list, but would
- require updates with each new copy of the docs.
-
- P.S. Be sure you set up some appropriate DECNET proxy access.
