I am surprized. > I have successfully port SWISH-E on OpenVMS. SWISH-E is a tool for indexing files, there is filter for HTML, XML, postscript, GIF, and many other formats. More information can be found on http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/SWISH-E/ My port is integrate in the developement version of swish. Daily snapshots are at http://sunsite.berkeley.edu:4444/swish-daily/ which should be getting rather stable -- but considered a development version since changes are stil being made. For example i have indexed all the OpenVMS, Rdb,... documentations A library is build so it is easly to integrate it into an other program. Mark Daniel, the author of WASD, has buid a CGI program (SWISHESI) to query a SWISH-E dababase. You can find a demonstration on http://StarLet.DeltaTel.RU/ My port is currently partial: only local files are indexed, the http part use a script PERL ans i haven't all the modules. > I just copied the FREEWARE CD v4 onto a VMS disk and browsed through it. > No more success. > > Now, a question: > Assuming you take over a system management position and the previous folk has > left very far away without easy ways to communicate, what would you do to > know > what is where on your brand new cluster system? > > $ type/page [*...]*.com on all disks? > > SM > > ----- Posted via NewsOne.Net: Free (anonymous) Usenet News via the Web ----- > http://newsone.net/ -- Free reading and anonymous posting to 60,000+ groups > NewsOne.Net prohibits users from posting spam.
