Well, gang, thanks for the very speedy replies! My original request had to
do with Digital eliminating support for uerf in favor of DECevent. (See
George Michaelson's summary for what struck panic in my heart!) The best
reply came from Dr. Alan Rollow of Digital and it follows:
Dr. Alan Rollow writes:
It appears the engineering group stopped improving uerf(8)
for new systems and storage subsystems sometime in the V3.2x
timeframe. They decided to retire it in favor of DECevent.
Unfortunately, they failed to closely integrate DECevent in
the base product. Instead it is on one of the Associated
Product CDs (formerly called the Complementary Products
CDs). Hopefully, they'll clean up the DECevent kit and
get it on the BASE subset or at least as a mandatory subset
of the installation CDs soon. As of V4.0D, this hadn't been
done, but they're aware of the inconsistency.
With the exception of a few select systems, uerf(8) is still
supported in V3.2*. I think the exceptions are the DEC 8200
and DEC 8400 systems and the AlphaServer 4000 family. The
hardware specific releases for these included a version of
DECevent.
As always, you guys and gals are the greatest! Thanks again!!
Regards,
Sheryl
