   I sent a previous inquiry about the subject about 10 days ago and it has not
shown up yet so i repeat.
   I have a network object (subsequently NO) on VMS 4.6 side which is tried to
be "opened" by a client program (subsequently CP) on Ultrix 2.0-1 over DECnet.
   NO OPENs SYS$NET and does several reads and then copies it to a local file.
   CP dnet_conn's NO and then writes to the socket.
   Well, at least that's what i want done. But somehow NO and CP are not
sinchronised, i feel, since NO gets an EOF on one of the reads (not the same
one every time) and CP exits fith no error at all (number of bytes written by a
WRITE is always equal to the number of bytes requested to be written).
   Also i am trying to use the select call to quiry i/o descriptors (the socket
in this case) for being ready for writing in order to attempt to sinchronise,
but am not having much luck mainly due to the fact that i don't know what i am
doing really.
   Has anyone had any experience with this? Please help.
