Ahem.
Has anybody else run into a problem interpreting DIGITAL's documentation
on the format of the records that MONITOR writes? If you look at page
MON-89 in volume 4B of the VMS V4 doc set, it says that the class header
has the following format:
$DEF MNR_CLS$B_TYPE .Blkb ;Record type
$DEF MNR_CLS$W_FLAGS .Blkw ;Flags
$DEF MNR_CLS$Q_STAMP .Blkq ;Time stamp
$DEF MNR_CLS$W_RESERVED .Blkw ;Reserved
for a grand total of 13 bytes. Well, looking at the stuff with the
debugger (ain't Examine/Date_Time great?) it seems that the class header
looks more like:
$DEF MNR_CLS$B_TYPE .Blkb ;Record type
$DEF MNR_CLS$W_FLAGS .Blkw ;Flags
$DEF MNR_CLS$W_RESERVED .Blkw ;Reserved
$DEF MNR_CLS$Q_STAMP .Blkq ;Time stamp
Grr! And DEC doesn't even give you a macro to define these record
formats. Sigh. I would hand mine out, but not I'm not sure they're
correct (yes, I typed them in for all of the monitor records).
