227.0. "PATHWORKS32 & NFT" by KERNEL::SMITHPA () Tue Apr 15 1997 11:10

    Is it possible to SUBMIT (run) a .com file situated on a VMS server 
    from DOS using a PC running NFT under PATHWORKS32 ? and if so how ?
    I know it can be done from within NFTW but the customer wants to
    perform the task from DOS as in PATHWORKS v5.1/v6.0. He is under the
    impression that the necessary engine is in place but just does not know
    how to manipulate.
    Using the v6.0 NFT.EXE under PATHWORKS32 produces the required outcome,
    however he knows that this is an unsupported configuration and would
    like to NFTW.EXE supplied with PATHWORKS 32.
    
    Thanks in advance.

	.0> Is it possible to SUBMIT (run) a .com file situated on a VMS server .0> from DOS using a PC running NFT under PATHWORKS32 ? and if so how ? Well, let's try it out. I happen to have a test command file sitting around: C:\users\default>nft help submit SUBMIT The SUBMIT command submits an existing command file on a remote host to be executed at that remote node. Example: NFT> SUBMIT node"userid passwd"::remote_file valid switches: /NOLOG C:\users\default> C:\users\default>nft type jamin"ruzich xxx"::dir.com jamin"ruzich password"::USER2:[RUZICH]DIR.COM;1 $ echo this is dir.com. $ echo nft should submit this file from a PC to vms $ lets write a file temp.tmp, containing a directory list $ dir /out=temp.tmp C:\users\default>nft dir /ful jamin"ruzich xxx"::temp.tmp Error In DIRECTORY of jamin"ruzich password"::temp.tmp Because File not found C:\users\default> C:\users\default>nft submit jamin"ruzich xxx"::dir.com Submitting file: jamin"ruzich password"::dir.com C:\users\default>nft dir /ful jamin"ruzich xxx"::temp.tmp Directory of: jamin"ruzich password"::USER2:[RUZICH] TEMP.TMP;1 Size: 18/34 Owner: [100,43] Created: 15-APR-97 12:33:12 File Organization: Sequential Record Format: Variable length, maximum 123 bytes Record Attributes: Carriage return carriage control File Protection: System: RWED, Owner: RWED, Group: , World: C:\users\default> (The TEMP.TMP file is large enough that I didn't want to print the whole thing out. So, I just did NFT DIR commands before and after, to show that it now exists.)
227.2	NFT ??	KERNEL::SMITHPA		`Wed Apr 16 1997 05:25`	9
	Thanks for the reply but I didn't think that nft.exe came with PATHWORKS 32, does it ? or were you using the PATHWORKS v6 executable. Thanks again, Paul C.S.C, UK
227.3	nft.exe in the TIMA kit	JAMIN::RUZICH	PATHWORKS Client Engineering	`Tue Apr 22 1997 14:43`	10
	When the TIMA kit is released, it will contain a directory of unsupported software. It is, of course, truly unsupported, but it should work. The 16-bit NFT.EXE is present; all 3 copies are the same: \nosupprt\alpha\nft.exe \nosupprt\i386\nft.exe \nosupprt\w95\nft.exe -Steve
227.4	When ???	KERNEL::SMITHPA		`Wed Apr 23 1997 10:08`	8
	Thanks Steve, Any idea when we can expect this kit ? Regards, Paul S.
