Accessing VAX files from a Mac Running IDL
I am running IDL on both a Mac and a Vax. The Mac has Ethertalk and is configured for Pathworks. I have a large number of big datafiles sitting on the VAX in ascii or xdr format that I would like to access with idl on my Mac but I don't want to transfer the files over to my Mac first. Does anyone know if there is some way I can configure IDL so that it can access the VAX over a terminal server or some other mac network application. I have VersaTerm-Pro and can configure a terminal server and specify various ports but I can't tell if idl can connect to terminal ports and send commands over those line. Any suggestions or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. **************************************** Tom Price MIT Lincoln Lab 244 Wood St HW45-291 Group 94 Laser and Sensor Applications e-mail: price@ll.mit.edu ****************************************
