I need some help connecting my Apollo to the outside world (in particular, to a VAX with ULTRIX at U Penn through which I access the net). These are the specs-- model 3000 version 9.7 (sys5) missing DOMAIN/IX documentation on order If I should be able to do this with generic sys5 manuals, then all I need are pointers to the relevant parts of the manuals. (I have no experience with this kind of thing.) I have a less urgent question about manipulating windows from a C program. There's something in C that lets me execute a shell command. I figure it will let me execute DM window commands. Is there a better way to do this? (I assume this is explained in one of the manuals I have on order.) Thanks in advance. I feel guilty about asking for help. Therefore, when I finally achieve file transfer capability, I shall post or make available the code for an amusing program that traces the path of a planet orbiting a double star (another program inspired by the Nova episode on chaos).
