511.0. "DCL menu interface to VAXmail" by MSAV01::MIKEWARREN (Mike Warren SWS Malaysia) Wed Jul 15 1987 08:18

    Has anyone got a simple DCL menu driven interface to VAXmail ?
    I am in the process of starting to write one, and discovered it
    can be quite tedious. Rather than reinvent the wheel i decided
    to look to the skys. Anyone ...
    
    Thanks, Mike.

    I haven't got the interface but I do have (from a past VAX SIG tape)
    an FMS interface from DCL.  It gives you a command like
    
    	$ FMS/MENU formlib form/option/option...
    
    from which it should be easy to make up a few forms and fling them
    out to your users.  It passes fields to/from the form via DCL symbols
    plus allows some checking within the menu program before it returns
    to DCL.  Should be an hour or two for you to hack up some forms
    and the associated DCL to glue it together.  Let me know if you'd
    like it.
