I am trying to restore an ACCOUNT-SAVE (A from a D3/NT 7.2 account to
a D3/Linux 7.2.1 system.

I have been unsuccessful in restoring the account. I am saving the
account as a Pseudo file and transfering the account to the D3/Linux
system via a Samba file share.

I have been using the commands below to do the restore.

On D3/NT

LOGTO ACCTNAME
SET-DEVICE 5
T-REW
T-REW
ACCOUNT-SAVE (A

COPY FILE TO D3/LINUX SYSTEM VIA FTP OR SHARED SAMBA FOLDER

On D3/LINUX SYSTEM

LOGIN AS "DM"
SET-DEVICE 5;* the pseudo file
T-REW
T-REW
ACCOUNT-RESTORE ACCTNAME

It starts the restore, I eventually get a message to "Load next
volume, enter "C' to continue"

After the "C" is pressed I get a "account restored" message, but I am
unable to list the "MD" or execute TCL commands in the account.

Am I missing something in my restore process???

Thanks,
=Floyd

Edit the BP ACCOUNT-SAVE and add the
two lines
EXECUTE "T-WEOF"
EXECUTE "T-WEOF"
at the end of the program.
Then recompile.

No, I'd suggest you do the pair of T-WEOF's manually,
after you've dumped all the accounts to the pseudo that you plan to do.
If you do them between account-saves, I'm not sure you can get to the
2nd and subsequent account at the nt box...

A more vital omission is moving between platforms / release numbers
without doing an UPDATE-MD myaccount
from DM at the other side! This will put the proper verb definitions and
system file qpointers in the restored master dictionary { I think it
even makes the little qpointer called MD that lets you do things like
COUNT myaccount,md,
instead of having to do COUNT myaccount,,
to access the top-level dictionary {the "MD"} of myaccount from DM
or some other account.
Once UPDATE-MD finishes, it prompts you for the next account to fix up;
just hit the enter key to exit back to TCL prompt.

You're absolutely right about the UPDATE-MD.
I would however still embed the W-EOF's in the
program. Less work. Less to remember. If you are
saving multiple accounts, use FILE-SAVE.

P.S. Good catch Frank.

Followup note:

I was doing an ACCOUNT-RESTORE and received the following message:

[Tape unit #5] Load volume #2 and type 'C'

What's up with this message? Am I suppose to do a T-WEOF at the end
of the ACCOUNT-SAVE (A?

Yes! Do TWO of them! See previous replies.

Note that the full FILE-SAVE verb does a trailing T-DUMP of FOF,
so your last account is properly terminated even if you don't do a T-WEOF
after your FILE-SAVE.
