I am trying to link across the net. The remote node is REMOTE.
I am on HOME.
The following link command works fine.

$link main,REMOTE::sys$sysdevice:[graphicsdir]graphics/lib

However, the next set of commands do not work.

$assign "REMOTE::sys$sysdevice:[graphicsdir]graphics.olb" -
 lnk$library
$link main

I get the following error...
%LINK-F-OPENIN, error opening
 REMOTE::LNK$LIBRARY_1YSDEVICE:[GRAPHICSDIR]GRAPHICS.OLB;1 as input
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation

Any ideas?
It would be nice to link across the net without having to list the libs
in the link command.

Thanks,
