PATHWORKS for Macintosh System Administrator's Reference Manual

This document is the "PATHWORKS for Macintosh System Administrator's Reference Manual," published in January 1991 for Version 1.0 of the software. It is a guide for system administrators responsible for setting up and managing PATHWORKS software for Macintosh computers, specifically focusing on AppleTalk for VMS and VAXshare file and print services.

The manual is divided into two main sections:

1. AppleTalk for VMS Manager Commands: This section details commands used to configure and maintain AppleTalk for VMS and the AppleTalk/DECnet Transport Gateway. It covers operations on system components such as executors (VAX nodes running AppleTalk for VMS), gateways (for network protocol translation), logging of network events, and ports (entry points to the AppleTalk internet). Commands include DEFINE (for permanent database changes), LIST, PURGE, SET (for volatile database changes), SHOW, and ZERO (for resetting gateway counters).
2. VAXshare Manager Commands: This section focuses on commands for managing VAXshare file and print services for Macintosh users. It explains how to add, remove, modify, mount, dismount, start, and stop various services, including user aliases, file servers, printers, and volumes.

The manual also includes an appendix on handling character strings in commands, considering differences between Digital and AppleTalk character sets, and a glossary of terms. It is intended for administrators familiar with AppleTalk, DECnet, and the VMS operating system.
