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).
