Dave,

I think the problem with getting a 'DIR' is that you probably have the CD
mounted as a tape device rather than a file device.  It's been a while since
I have worked much with VMS but I think the command you want is
'MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION' to get it mounted as a file type device.

Also, IIRC if the drive is 'Mounted allocated' you can only access it from
the process that mounted it.

So, what I think would work is this:

$ DISMOUNT/NOUNLOAD TEST1$DQA0:
$ MOUNT/OVERIDE=ID TEST1$DQAO:

Hope this helps, Dave.

Subject: [Networker] Installing Legato on VMS

I'm installing Networker 7.1 onto OpenVMS.
My knowledge of VMS is limited.
I have the CD in the drive and mounted it.

But I can't figure out how to cd into the cdrom directory that contains
the networker files.
Can someone provide me with the correct commands.
The install guide for networker for VMS is not real helpful.

Do I type
$@sys$update:vmsinstall

But what is the product name? I suppose a dir on the cd would give me that.

The CD is device DQA0:
