Conference bulova::decw_jan-89_to_nov-90

    1/ either run shutdown from a fileview DCL window, upgrade to IFT X5.2
    or use the procedure in #884 of RDGENG::COMMAND_PROCEDURES.
    
    2/ dunno

    As for #2 - the problem turned out to be a lack of global pages.  Once
    I upped the Autogen parameter, and rebooted, all was fine again.
    
    Thanks,

Yes you do have the manuals!!!

Use the online book reader.  Internally, the books
are available as a net kit, which you can install
on any disk that has enough room.  Customers,
though, will have to get a CD reader.

    Speaking of the online documentation, I spent � an hour searching
    through them for documentation on the XLIB error messages, without
    success.  Where are the little dears discussed?
    
    Thanks!

Some of the routines list all the status return values, but this wasn't
finished in the V1 books.  Some routines can return other VMS messages
for descriptor related errors, etc.
Here's the list from the .msg file:

        .SEVERITY       WARNING

        BADPARAM        <invalid parameter encountered>

        .SEVERITY       INFORMATION
        NOHOSTS         <there are no hosts available to make connections>

    I'm also having a problem and get the following error:
    
    XLIB error
    Serial 5925		Error code 8	Request code 42   minor 0
    Error text is <Bad match-parameter mismatch>
    
    I typically get this when trying to print from writer.
    
    VMS 5.1 on a 16 meg GPX
    
    any ideas or suggestions?

    re: .6
    it appears that XLIB.shr is missing from sys$library. How/where
    do I get a copy of this file? Or do I reinstall DECwindows?
    
    dave

The image is DECW$XLIBSHR.EXE - do you have that?

	Steve

    Yes I do, (got that image name wrong at first sorry). However, I
    get occasional XLIB errors, usually when running writer.

	The following is what I get after a mail window display is created
on my work station and try to open mail or any other folders. I can read new
mail and create/send without any problems. This comes and go's... 
I can run vue$master without any problems.
We are running SSB v5.2 on the server, and my Vaxstation II/GPX is in a 
LAVC also running SSB V5.2

	I've seen that before, it generally means munged resources. Check
	out DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$MAIL.DAT and DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:
	DECW$MAIL.DAT and make sure nobody's messed with them...
