I have a general-purpose DECnet utility called TELL, which you can use to find out literally anything about a remote DECnet node. Usage :- $ Tell <node> "<command-string>" Philip Taylor (RHBNC; Univ. of London) <CHAA006@UK.AC.RHBNC.VAXB> ================================================================================ $ mode = f$mode() $ goto 'mode' $ interactive: $ 10$: if p1 .nes.
