I took VERB from comp.os.vms, unSHARed it with no errors, compiled it via the COMPILE.COM command file with no errors, and ran it. This was the output... $ RUN VERB Error parsing 'width' Specified entity not found in command tables Symbolic stack dump follows module name routine name line rel PC abs PC 7FF946F5 7FF946F5 7FF944FB 7FF944FB 7FF9401C 7FF9401C 00008D7A 00008D7A VERB_EXTRACTOR VERB_EXTRACTOR 32 0000001D 00008A1D Does anyone have an idea of the problem?

Unfortunately note enough things, but I can answer this question. In the readme file, there should have been a reference to the .cld file that the program needs. You should do a $ SET COMMAND VERB.CLD and have EXE$DIR defined to point to the current directory (quickest and easiest way that I know of is DEFINE EXE$DIR 'F$ENVIRONMENT("DEFAULT")). Then just type VERB verb, and it will give you the definition of verb on your terminal. I just looked the distribution I made, and sure enough, there aren't explicit instructions on it's setup. And the instructions on it's use were a little vague (and found in the BLURB.TXT file). The command file stuff is the crtical bit here. Sorry for any confusion that I may have generated. :-(. -- bitnet: losh@nmt.csnet M. Warner Losh warner@hydrovax.nmt.csnet !

Yep. It's using the CLI command parser calls to try and get it's arguments; and you havent' installed the command via 'INSTALL'. -- Dave Ihnat ihnp4!homebru!ignatz || ihnp4!chinet!ignatz (w) (312) 882-4673

You do need to do something special, but it isn't install. You need to do a SET COMMAND VERB and then run verb via $VERB ... Other than that, you are correct about verb using the command parser. -- bitnet: losh@nmt.csnet M. Warner Losh warner@hydrovax.nmt.csnet !
