Re: [Gnv-develop] Recent version of Bison under GNV/VMS

[Bernard Giroud]

Thanks Ken (and you too Steve) !

OK, I roughly get the picture for opening files; but I have a few questions
I will dig with you privately if do not mind (next mail).

But you didn't state clearly if you would prefer to keep a true
VMS DCL processing, in which case we have to ask Akim
to readd the corresponding files in the Bison CVS after an upgrade,
or if you could stand with just a foreign invocation, being from DCL or
bash.

Bernard,

It would be nice if open (and all related entries) could do a mapping of
names with multiple dots in them to something reasonable on ODS-2. Then
there would be no work in bison for filename support. Even if HP was not
willing to consider this for the CRTL, it could be done in GNV in the CRTL
supplement. Once you did this, you would have a framework in place to
address other issues like the lack of symbolic links.

In the case of supporting VMS and Unix command lines, if the VMS command
line is being implemented as a true DCL command line (set command/DCL
TABLES), not something that just looks like a VMS command line, then the
following program can be used to detect if a program is invoked as a DCL
command or a foreign command. You would do the same thing for GNV as a
foreign command.
