Does anyone know anything about this ***> interface? Is it documented? I haven't been able to find any ***> information on it. Although the manual which contains the MAIL$ routines was mentioned a few times in the VMS 5 doc set, the manual was never released. An unofficial/undocumented/uneverything guide to using Callable Mail can be found in the anonymous FTP account on node DFTSRV.GSFC.NASA.GOV (128.183.10.134) in subdirectory "vms". /-------------------------------------+----------------------------------------\ | John "Fast Eddie" McMahon | Span: SDCDCL::FASTEDDY (Node 6.9) | | Advanced Data Flow Technology Office|Internet: FASTEDDY@DFTNIC.GSFC.NASA.GOV | | Code 630.4 - Building 28/W255 | Bitnet: FASTEDDY@DFTBIT | | NASA Goddard Space Flight Center |GSFCmail: JMCMAHON | | Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 | Phone: 301-286-2045 (FTS: 888-2045) | +-------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ |X.400 Telenet: (C=USA,ADMD=TELEMAIL,PRMD=GSFC,O=GSFCMAIL,S=MCMAHON,G=JOHN,I=J)| |GSFC XNS (3+Mail): {FASTEDDY@DFTNIC.GSFC.NASA.GOV}:INTERNET:GSFC| +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Living a 9600 Baud Lifestyle in a 1200 Baud World" - R.A.J. | \------------------------------------------------------------------------------/
