Good: Try using a linker options file (see the linker documentation).  G 2. Even better: try putting the object modules into a library (see HELP D LIBRARY), then reference the library in your LINK command or options1 file (see HELP LINK or the linker documentation).   D 3. Better still - build them into a run-time library (see the sourceC language reference and linker documentation) and link your programs H against that. Then, if one of the modules needs to change, you need onlyE to recompile it and re-link the run-time library instead of relinking % EVERY program which uses that module.    --   David J.

This makes me think that I didn't state the problem clearly   enough.   G Suppose one has two system disks in different clusters.  Apart from the G UAF and machine-specific things like node name, IP address etc, the two H systems should be identical.  In other words, same version of VMS, same # patches, same layered products etc.   C It seems to me that it is overkill to maintain more than one system F disk.  (Note that the system disks are in different clusters, perhaps I not even on the same LAN.)  Think of all the patches or 7.2-1 recently.   F Is it REALLY necessary to do the same maintenance work on both system I disks?  The same goes for upgrading compilers etc.  (Note that this does  H not apply to third-party software.  I have that on a different disk and I it is trivial to replicate it in another cluster.)  It seems to me to be  E a much more sensible approach to maintain one disk then from time to  H time back it up and restore it to the system disk in the other cluster, 3 then "repair" this so that it is as it should be.     C There is the stuff about "changing the node name" in the FAQ.  This F would have to be gone through.  However, there is the question of "log? files" etc (with or without the .LOG extension) which should be E cluster-specific.  Thus, it seems the thing to do would be to backup  I these files to another disk and then restore them after the "new" system  D disk is restored.  Since all the node-name stuff is hidden in files I somewhere (MODPARAMS.DAT---which should be saved anyway if the hardware,  D load etc are different), perhaps once could get away with a list of G files to be saved before the system disk is overwritten, then restored  
 afterward.  H Does anyone have a definitive, preferably commented, list of such files  or like to compose one?   B I'm sure this must be a really common problem and find it hard to I believe that people actually apply patches, compiler updates etc to two,  # or even more, system disks by hand.    Note:   E One has to think about various dates, version numbers etc when saving E the files and restoring them after the system disk has been updated.     Note:   E In addition to "low-level" VMS files, one might have cluster-specific E stuff in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM and command files it runs. I have taken to F writing site-dependent conditional code here.  Sure, I could save thisG file like the others, but most changes I make to it apply to all sites, G so I would prefer to have just one version.  I don't like the idea of a D SYSTARTUP_VMS_LOCAL.COM, since some things have to be started beforeH others etc and one would thus need more than one of these, making things hard to understand.)    0 $  ASIMOV = "GLADIA DANEEL ELIJAH        JANDER"> $  ISAAC  = "DARELL SELDON PALVER HARDIN MALLOW HUMMIN UPSHUR"K $  IF F$LOCATE(F$GETSYI("NODENAME"),ASIMOV) .NES.

Set the DNS server to the G IP address of your ISP's DNS servers. The cable router is a NAT box. It-L should now allow the VMS system to get to the internet. Outgoing connectionsI will "appear" to be coming from the static IP address on your routers WAN ( port (that connects to the cable modem).  I The Barricade makes this very easy. It has a specific menu for static WAN L addresses. You can also set specific DHCP ranges and leave the others in theH internal network as static addresses to handle VMS's lack of DHCP client
 capabilities.i  I Now, to allow incoming connections, such as telnet, to the VMS box, thereeB should be a setting on your router for a "DMZ" host. Set it to theL 192.168.x.x address of your VMS server. All incoming connections will be NATE translated and sent to your 192.168.x.x address. If you need to allow G connections to other machines on your internal network you will have to L define specific ports to other 192.168.x.x addresses for the other machines.  I www.Egghead.com and www.buy.com are selling the barricade for around $130 K with 4 10/100 switch ports, serial console port (believe it or not, you can6K plug a vt terminal into it for setups and firmware updates!) and a parallel F printer port that creates an LPD service for a shared network printer.  L Check www.techbargains.com for coupons before you visit buy.com.
