Hi,
I am very new to VAX therefore I have following questions, which may be
silly to you guys.
First of all I want to map my VAXstation 4000 drive which is running OpenVMS
VAX 6.2, to Windows 98/2000. I downloaded SAMBA 2.0.3 Binary Package for VAX
along with C RTL from US FTP, also UNZIPVAX.exe file.
Now I couldn't unzip SAMBA on VAX because when I give command
$run unzipvax samba.zip
it gave this message
%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters
\SAMBA\
so instead I unzipped all files on Win98 using WinZip and uploaded it on VAX
via FTP to SAMBA folder in root directory. also I unzipped C RTL file and
uploaded decc_crtl.exe_vax file to SAMBA folder.
I only have license of Fortran at VAX and can't compile C programs.
Now when I run @link I get message
%RMS-W-RTB, 512 byte record too large for user's buffer
Here are my questions:
1) Did the steps I follow are correct?
2) How can I unzip SAMBA files on VAX, I know its a straightforward
procedure, I have done it many times on my PC using PKUNZIP, but why it is
not working on VAX?
3) How to link it?
I'll be really grateful if someone can answer this, or if there is any
posting on Web regarding this.
Thanks
Naveed
