Replace it with MIN_GLBSECTIONS=300 This means that autogen can increase the value if it deems appropriate, but cannot set it lower to 300.

I'm not sure what happened but I left the system off for a time and now it is running fine. Except, DECwindows still complains with the same message, that GBLSECTIONS is 222 and should be at least 280. When I did the AUTOGEN with GETDATA SETPARAMS there is a report file complaining that the MIN_GBLSECTIONS=300 that I added to MODPARAMS.DAT is superceded by the default min value of 600. How might UAF stuff be interferring? The system has 128MB of RAM, surely that's enough for both TCP/IP and DECwindows?

On many alphas, you would do a >>> BOOT -flag=0,1 On a vax: >>> BOOT/1 Once you get the SYSBOOT> prompt, enter: SYSBOOT> SET STARTUP_P1 "MIN" This should give you a minimal system without any of the software started. You can then login on the console, and : TYPE SYS$SYSTEM:AGEN$PARAMS.REPORT This will give you some information on what autogen actuallly did. The system parameters are stored in: SYS$SYSTEM:VAXVMSSYS.PAR for VAX SYS$SYSTEM:ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR;1 for Alpha Autogen stores old files as ALPHAVMSSYS.OLD (for alpha). You could rename that file to the alphavmssys.par in the same directory and then reboot. This should get you a system like it was before you ran autogen. After you are done, $MC SYSGEN SYSGEN> USE CURRENT SYSGEN> SET STARTUP_P1 "" SYSGEN> WRITE CURRENT SYSGEN> EXIT This will re-enable all the startup stuff (which was disabled when you set it to "MIN" during sysboot) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 21:05:53 -0700 From: rtk Subject: Re: create/term/detach error Message-ID: <1184990753.671994.79050@x40g2000prg.googlegroups.com> On Jul 20, 9:39 pm, JF Mezei wrote: > What type of system do you have ? It is an AlphaServer 1000 4/200. I still don't know why I got the "ec." on the OCP and I can't find anything that says what that might mean but the system is running fine now. I added ADD_GBLSECTIONS=600 to the MODPARAMS.DAT file and did @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA SETPARAMS then rebooted and all is well, DECwindows started, TCP/IP is still running, and I get IDL to run as well (which was my goal).

If there is an existing file, then a new curl output file appears to inherit some of its charactistics. In the example below the original output file ;1 is as I would expect, the ;3 version has one char per line which isn't so useful, essentially the same curl command can give different output depending on what is already in the directory. I have a workaround, but any chance of fixing this up? $ curl --version curl 7.16.4 (ALPHA-HP-VMS) libcurl/7.16.4 Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict http file %CURL-E-FAILED_INIT, failed init $ $ write sys$output f$gets("version") V8.3 $ $ curl "http://curl.haxx.se/" -o curl.lis % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 13381 100 13381 0 0 8363 0 0:00:01 0:00:01 --:--:-- 11849 $ $ cre curl.lis;2 anything Exit $ $ curl "http://curl.haxx.se/" -o curl.lis % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 13381 100 13381 0 0 7846 0 0:00:01 0:00:01 --:--:-- 10870 $ $ pip dir/fu curl.lis | sea sys$pipe ";","record form" CURL.LIS;3 File ID: (4753,47303,0) Record format: Variable length, maximum 0 bytes, longest 1 byte CURL.LIS;2 File ID: (4530,56286,0) Record format: Variable length, maximum 0 bytes, longest 8 bytes CURL.LIS;1 File ID: (3492,27367,0) Record format: Stream_LF, maximum 0 bytes, longest 32767 bytes $ Thanks Alex ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 22:36:32 -0500 (CDT) From: sms@antinode.org (Steven M.

Also, Adobe PDF files containing MicroVAX written with the greek letter mu often show up as pVAX on web search engines, it's probably a font problem. As a matter of fact, if you search such a document for pvax in Adobe reader, you'll find it with the mu. > Bonus question: It also lists the UVAX-II in which I assume the U is > just a poor-man's mu.
