There is no need to get upset! Why not just add a few lines to your system login file (e.g., SYLOGIN.COM) that check for other interactive processes with the same username, and, if so, print a warning message. That could be done either in DCL or in any high level language with very little difficulty. If you would like, I will look in to it and write the code for you, but I don't want to publish anything off the top of my head, since it would probably be wrong. Now then, there are a few things I would like to tell DEC myself . . . Rob Malouf Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook, NY 11794-5000 RMALOUF@SBCCMAIL.BITNET

You could easily set up your own LOGIN to do that, or it could be added to the system-wide login com. Following is a rather lengthy example from my own LOGIN.COM: $ count = 0 $ name := "fxhelp" $ set message/noid/nosev/nofac/notext $ next: $ on warning then goto duplicate $ set process/name="''name'" $ goto continu $ duplicate: $ count = count + 1 $ name = name + " " $ goto next $ continu: $ set message/text $ on warning then exit $ if (count.eq.0) then goto ok $ outstring := "You are signed on "'count'" other time" $ if (count.eq.1) then goto prt $ outstring = outstring + "s" $ prt: $ write sys$output outstring $ ok: ... (Don't look at me like that! I guess that's what happens when you have an 8800 to waste -- besides, I only sign on once, in the morning!) Anyway, have fun! ************************************************************************* * Jo Knox / UAF Computer Support Group / University of Alaska Fairbanks * * ``he never said a mumblin' word!'' * *************************************************************************
