Hi,
Just taken delivery of a new XP1000 workstation. The console setting
for the language variables appears to have changed. Previously on
any of the PCI based Alphastations or PWS systems if you did
"set language 0" at the console followed by init you got a list of
available languages and their associated names and numbers. On the new
machine it just sets it to 0 and leaves it at that.
However, as I write this I've sussed it out. The new variables are in hex.
Pick an invalid value and the list of acceptable options comes up.
This feature is not documented in the (remarkably thin) hardware guide.
Cheers.
Joe
