Chris Sharman, CCA Stationery, Eastway, Fulwood, Preston, Lancs, ENGLAND How to change CMS command defaults ================================== This procedure may be adaptable to other products, and while not particularly innovative, may prove useful. Pre-requisites: You must have objects or sources in the installation kit. If you have only an object, you need Joe Meadows' VERB tool. [VERB change The Fall 89 version doesn't correctly handle user routines in CLD structure level 6 - there is now a longword before the ascic name, so you need to change _handler_user: in COMMAND.MAR to skip the longword: _handler_user: add_string <' routine '> tstl (r7)+ ; the new line add_ascic r7 brw _print_cliflags ] To modify CMS: Invoke VMSINSTAL with the extra option RSP=B (restore saveset and pause). When it pauses, log in somewhere else and play about with the files in the CMS subdirectory of SYS$UPDATE. Find the command definition module - CLISYN in CMSV2SHR.OLB For another product, the way to find it is to extract modules from the library and use ANALYZE/OBJECT to find the CLD one. Find the module name (CLISYN) - again using analyze/object. Crib the link command from KITINSTAL.COM, and link it with one additional options file containing "UNIVERSAL=CLISYN". Use the VERB utility on the resulting image to generate a CLD source file. Edit the source file to your heart's content - eg change the CREATE ELEMENT default to /NOCONCURRENT. Compile the source file: SET COMM/OBJ clisyn Replace it in the library: LIB cmsv2shr clisyn If you want to keep your work somewhere, then now is the time to do so. It's probably a good idea to tidy up and delete the files you've left around, although CMS V3.3 doesn't actually care. That's all the changes done - go back to the installation. Hit return to continue the installation.
