I can't get the thing to return >anything but nulls (or a bugcheck)... I have gotten the $GETUAI service to work. I wrote a C program which is defined as the foreign command GETUAI which decodes its command line using DCL. This provides a replacement for the missing F$GETUAI lexical function and allows me to get information into command procedures to add/maintain/ remove/monitor user accounts. The sources for GETUAI.C are too large to post here (GETUAI.C is about 60 blocks alone, plus some other auxiliary files). However, I did submit GETUAI to the current VAX SIG tape in distribution (Fall '86) and to the current Languages & Tools tape (LT86A). I can try to provide copies via the net, but would prefer that people contact the DECUS library or your LUG to get copies of the tapes. = Frank J.
