Despite careful review of the VMS documentation set and of the DEC 'Software Product Documentation' list, I could not find any references to documents that have been mentioned in INFO-VAX. These are - a so called 'VMS Internals' manual - a document describing the MAIL program interface I would appreciate obtaining document part number, correct title and effective VMS release number for these documents or any other useful (but hidden) manual.

This is not part of any documentation set, but is a book published by Digital Educational Services. I don't have an order number handy, but if you call them up at (800) 343-8321, I'm sure they'll be happy to help you. I got my copy of the book not long ago, and it's very good. Just wish I didn't have to wait so long for it to be published! > - a document describing the MAIL program interface As far as I know, no such document exists. The only thing I've ever seen written about it was an INFO-VAX posting by John Hascall of Iowa State University, last September. --Pat.

Hello. I have the VAX/VMS Internal and Data Structures Manual for VMS version 3. It is published by Digital Press, and the order number is EY-00014-DP. That should get you started, as the software distribution center should be able to get you a more recent part number. (The authors are Kenah and Bate.)

Despite careful review of the VMS documentation set and of the DEC 'Software Product Documentation' list, I could not find any references to documents that have been mentioned in INFO-VAX. These are - a so called 'VMS Internals' manual This isn't published as documentation, but as a Digital Press book. The title is something like VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures. The old V3 version was by Larry Kenah and Simon Bates; the new, V4 version, which just came out a month or two ago, will have Ruth Goldberg's name on there as an author, but I don't know what the full authorship list will be. I don't have a copy so I can't give you an ISBN, but the book should (eventually) appear in "Books In Print"; or you could get in touch with Digital Press. - a document describing the MAIL program interface Are you talking about the MAIL-11 network protocol? - I'm not sure what "the MAIL program interface" would be, other than the commands at the MAIL prompt and related things like initialization files. If that's what you want, check the Mail section in the Utilities manual. As for the network protocol: There is no "official" documentation, but it's a rather simple protocol and descriptions have wandered around the net and DECUS at various times. Sorry, I don't have any copies handy - if this is what you want, I'm sure someone can dig up a copy for you. I would appreciate obtaining document part number, correct title and effective VMS release number for these documents or any other useful (but hidden) manual. -- Jerry
