Install zip and unzip on VMS IA_64
This is a newpie question: I ftp zip.exe and unzip.exe to my directory:
$! output of show default
dev_src:[myuserid.tools]
I want to create a local symbol so that I can use them.
I tried the follwoing:
$! $1$DGA335 is my disk name
zip := 1$DGA2523:[YLIU.TOOLS]ZIP.EXE
and I got error:
$ zip -?
DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image 1$DGA2523:[YLIU.TOOLS]ZIP.EXE
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file 1$DGA2523:[YLIU.TOOLS]ZIP.EXE;
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation
Can you tell what I have done wrongly and how to do it correctly?
YE LIU

Re: Install zip and unzip on VMS IA_64
$ ZIP:==$$1$DGA2523:[YLIU.TOOLS]ZIP.EXE
Please note the leading $ before the disk $1$DGA..., this indicates the 'foreign' command.

Re: Install zip and unzip on VMS IA_64
space in there to make it clearer that a
separate "$" is needed. And you can get the
help by simply running the program:
alp $ RUN UTILITY:ZIP3GL.EXE
Copyright (c) 1990-2008 Info-ZIP - Type 'zip "-L"' for software license.
Zip 3.0g BETA (February 3rd 2008). Usage: zip == "$ disk:[dir]zip.exe"
[...]
The actual installation instructions for 3.0
are similar.
The current released version says:
[...]
Zip 2.32 (June 19th 2006). Usage: zip=="$disk:[dir]zip.exe"
[...]
Which tends to confuse people, especially
users new to VMS, and those whose disk device
names begin with "$".

Re: Install zip and unzip on VMS IA_64
I resolved the problem by using the logical name of my disk.

Re: Install zip and unzip on VMS IA_64
Use logical names instead, they are one of the best features of OpenVMS. So in your case:
$ ZIP :== $DEV_SRC:[YLIU.TOOLS]ZIP.EXE
