Has anyone installed the VMS backup version of ICON on a VAX running VMS 5.4? The scripts for correcting an FTP'd file don't quite work with VMS 5.4. Thanks for any suggestions. Dennis Smolarski Santa Clara University Dept. of Mathematics Santa Clara CA DSMOLARSKI@SCU.BITNET

As far as I know the VMSFIX script works under VMS 5.4, though until very
recently the comments were misleading and implied that it wouldn't.
Did you actually try it, or did you just believe what it told you :-) ?
It does need a big file quota, bigger than I have at the moment, so when I
retested it just now (VMS V5.4-1) I had to test with a different BACKUP file.

I happen to have it on mag tape. For FTPing the saveset, a lot depends on the TCP/IP package running under VMS. We have CMU/TEK and TGV MULTINET and the FTP has a file type command used to pass VMS specific information. I believe the command is TYPE IMAGE (MULTINET) or SET TYPE IMAGE (CMU/TEK) will work from the FTP> prompt. I haven't actually tried the ICON saveset, but I've used it successfully between my hosts.
