TCPware for OpenVMS from Process Software Corporation supports VMS V4.7. However, we will be dropping this support with our next release. The current version of TCPware is 5.0. TCPware is a TCP/IP implementation for VMS and OpenVMS.

I ftp'd the IUPOP3 software but when we tried to compile it, it complained that we were missing "ucx$inetdef.h" (called in ucx_ioctl.c). What is the best workaround for this (and other future) files that are missing? Any ideas?

You can either edit ucx_ioctl.c to include "TCPWARE_INCLUDE:" as part of the file specification or try CC :== CC/DEFINE=(TCPWARE_INCLUDE:). Another "gotcha" will be that you'll need to edit the UCX .OPT file to change the location of ucx$ipc.olb ... it is in TCPWARE, not in SYS$SHARE or SYS$LIBRARY. Note that we don't copy the UCX$INETDEF.H and UCX$IPC.OLB files to the system locations to avoid possible confusion. You, of course, are free to do so to make your life easier. However, do remember that you did so and that these are not the DEC versions of these files.

Are there root Internet Time Servers (similar to the InterNic DNS root servers in the NAMED.CA file) that allow anyone to query for time information? Finally, any suggestions for peer timer servers?

There usually isn't much you need to add to it. Some of the NTP servers available on the Internet are BITSY.MIT.EDU ... Add the following statement to the NTP.CONF to use it: peer 18.72.0.3 There are others but I don't recall their names or internet addresses. You might also want to get the latest update of NTP available via anonymous FTP at FTP.PROCESS.COM in the [.SUPPORT] directory as NTPD_V503B_VAX.INC or NTPD_V503B_AXP.INC. - Bernie Volz Process Software Corporation ================================================================================ Archive-Date: XXX, 28 Sep 1995 18:34:21 -0400 Subject: Re: NTP config files - How?

The file NTP.CONF is a flat ASCII file that you can create when ever you want. Also you can create it in SYS$COMMON:[TCPWARE] if you're using a cluster environment and all of this cluster nodes are NTP-Clients. The struktur of this NTP.CONF you have seen in your management guide NTP section examples. I never heard about the specific time server you ask for. But I know there where several time servers in the domains after root domain. (as you can also see in the one example for NEARNET). In our equipment we have a vax with a radio-clock on one TTA port, and a small simple program that read the radio clock time format and set it on this VAX. This is our time server and all other nodes in our network, VAXes, AXPs and Unix nodes are synchronized via NTP. examples NTP.CONF for our time server: ; time server local-master 10 examples NTP.CONF on our clients: peer 194.45.15.194 < address of our time server> local-master 11 < will be a local-master if our time server is down> and like in this examples you can setup your env. to a INTERNET TIME Server. exa. peer > local-master 11 Regards Joe **************************************************** ** Don`t fiddle around - ** ** unless you know what you`re doing! ** ** Err, uh - how do you learn what you`re doing? ** ** Well, uh - you fiddle around! ** ****************************************************
