MIME.EXE Not Conforming To VMS Error Status?

[Hoff]

FWIW, MIME is a DCL command verb on recent OpenVMS releases. You don't need to RUN SYS$SYSTEM:MIME anymore.

Check the mpack and munpack stuff, too -- there are other MIME tools around for OpenVMS -- and see if that can provide what you need here.

Not on my 7.3-2?

ALPHA_ROB$ mime
%DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling
\MIME\
ALPHA_ROB$

On which VMS version is MIME a DCL verb ? Does it need some extra installation ?

$ sh sys/noproc
OpenVMS V8.3 on node DECUSI 20-FEB-2007 08:58:41.64 Uptime 84 03:29:07
$ mime
%DCL-E-PARSEFAIL, error parsing DCL$PATH:MIME.*

On IA64 8.3 system.

BTW mpack:
If somebody wonders, why mpack uses a special MMAIL->SFF command instead of MAIL to send the resulting MIME file: it is because of the empty line before the MIME header. In my installation (Mpack 1.5) I made a small change to put the "Mime-Version" line as the first line (before the messageID): VMS mail (UCX SMTP transport) then sends the file without the empty line. At least since some VMS 7.+/UCX 5.+ versions.

Duh. I've set up DCL$PATH. Nevermind.
