GETDVI is a system service call in OpenVMS.  I doubt if it applies to
Unix/Linux.

I wouldn't worry about ZTBKCGUX and ZTSETGUX.  Just create a routine
with those names that has a simple quit.
ZTBKC is a global block counter.  I doubt if anybody will bother to
write one for GT.M.  We don't even have one for Cache and it's what we
run at our hospitals.

ZISET will initialize the device file and applicable only with installs
from scratch.

Subject: [Hardhats-members] ZTMGRSET issues (extension sequelae)

"Wise men say, only fools rush in...."

Well, throwing all caution to the wind, I decided to get ZTMGRSET
working properly on my system.  What was wrong with the way it was?  It
wasn't finding the files it needed to copy that are specific for GT.M.
I have written about this before.

I figured out what the issue is: in GT.M., the variable $ZRO is arranged
like this:
ObjectDir1(SourceDir1) ObjectDir2(SourceDir1
SourceDir2 ...) ObjectDir3() ObjectDir4
And the existing ZTMGRSET.m only looks in the FIRST source directory of
the FIRST element.

So I decided to add some code that would look through all the listed
source directories.  Got that done no problem. And while I was at it, I
added code that allows SILENT running of the module.  You just preload
answers into an optional array that is passed to the function.  This
should help with my install scripts (i.e. make it easier for the end
user.)

OK, now I cycle through all the programs that is tries to copy.  It
finds 95% of them.  But I am "missing"
the following files (and they really are absent from my source
directory):
ZTBKCGUX
ZISETGUX

Furthermore, at one point, GT.M tried to recompile ZOSVGUX, and
complained about a line of code containing the function $ZGETDVI (line
44, col 14).  I assume this is not a GT.M function.  I just tried to
reproduce this, and its not complaining anymore. 
All's well that ends well?? hmmm...

So, one the plus side, I think I have made a helpful extension to the
ZTMGRSET module.  I'll be happy to submit this if anyone wants it.  I
even swallowed hard and tried to follow VA programming conventions.

On the down side, I'm not sure what to make of these new missing files
and non GT.M code.

Any thoughts?

Kevin
