Where do you find documentation for TCP/IP services for OpenVMS 5.7 ?

[Jon Pinkley]

VSI 8.4-2L1 ships with V5.7, but the documention at the VSI website is for the Multinet based 10.6, and if I understand correctly, this path has been abandoned.

Plus the Release notes for 5.7, such as:

http://h30266.www3.hpe.com/odl/i64os/network/tcpip57eco2/tcprn/tcp_rnpro.html

There are only two new featurs listed, none of them that important.

The release notes also says that:

The following manuals are not updated for TCP/IP Services Version 5.7...

TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Installation and Configuration
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management Guide
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Guide to SSH
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Concepts and Planning
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management Command Reference
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management Command Quick Reference Card
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS ONC RPC Programming
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Sockets API and System Services Programming
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Tuning and Troubleshooting
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS User's Guide

Well, the concepts around TCP/IP i general are still the same... :-)

And yes, I think I have seens that also. Seems as the Release Notes are
the best source for anything changed in later versions.

Yes, it has. Given the initial promotion of the Multinet approach, it
would be nice to know what changed. I wonder if VSI hit a fundamental
problem which stopped Multinet from being a compatible plug-in option
for TCP/IP Services ?

As Jan-Erik says, there is none (apart from the release notes) as
far as I am aware.

That's something VSI should fix as soon as possible (even if they
just alter the existing manuals to match the current version).

It doesn't exactly present a good image as things stand...

If the Multinet documentation is indeed still on the VSI website,
it should probably be removed for the same reason.

In case anyone is confused, that should say "a compatible plug-in
alternative to TCP/IP Services ? ". Multinet is a replacement for
TCP/IP Services, not something that is a component of it. Sorry.
