[Download-List] FW: Remote account

[David L. Rotman]

Wendy is on the right track.

Here is how I thought it would be setup on most systems:
AE VOC DOWNLOAD.SOURCE
001: DIR
002: /path/to/DOWNLOAD.SOURCE
003:  ....(dictionary entry can be almost anything with an @ID)...

Then, when the cataloging is done, the catalog entries will
have the full path:
AE VOC DOWNLOAD
001: C
002: /path/to/DOWNLOAD.SOURCE/_DOWNLOAD


I know some vendors disagree, but I strongly prefer placing
the entire path into VOC pointers for files...even though some
files may not need the additional clarification (and you probably
don't want that for local directories like SAVEDLISTS).  In the
case of directories containing source code, having the full
path in the directory name and cataloging with the DIRECT option
will give you VOC pointers for programs that clearly identify
which object code is being run.  These VOC pointers can be
copied to remote accounts without any need for modification.

I think if you make 'DOWNLOAD.SOURCE' look like this:
:AE VOC DOWNLOAD.SOURCE
Top of "DOWNLOAD.SOURCE" in "VOC", 3 lines, 57 characters.
001: DIR
002: /path/on/other/account/to/DOWNLOAD.SOURCE
003: D_VOC
Bottom.
