1000.5how to list a DCL directory from web browser?BOOKIE::FRASCINELLAIn the beginning was the Word...John 1:1Thu May 15 1997 17:5120
    I have searched throughout this notes file but don't see a clear answer
    to the question:
    
    How do you list the contents of DCL directories from a browser?
    
    There is a UNIX utility that does this:
    
    http://www-unix.zk3.dec.com/cgi-bin/ersdec?node::disk:[dir]
    
    Instead of node::disk:[dir] you would enter something like
    ANCHOR::EZNET:[NETLIB] to get the directory containing the EASYNOTES
    list.
    
    Is there a more generic way or maybe an OVMS utility that does the same
    thing?

Yeah, an outdated one.  Use HUMANE::SYS$PUBLIC: instead.

The utility on http://www-unix.zk3.dec.com seems to work fine.  What features is
it missing?

    Paul,
    
    I came across a few references to using the VMS file spec in a URL but
    none of them specified the syntax right so none of them really worked.
    
    I've come across web sites that allow you to look at directories but I
    wondered if someone knew of a generic format for putting node, disk, and
    directory in the URL or if the OVMS people had created something similar 
    to the UNIX utility I found.
    
    Yours,
