[Info-vax] FAXSR

[Dave]

I appreciate that this is probably a pointless exercise since there
are few who even remember this archaic product, however...

I am running a very old product called FAXSR, and I have begun to see
a problem where the COMPOSER process terminates with a

[10:16:00.68] Disk space too low - terminating

message.      I could only find one reference to this issue in a very
old (2004) thread, which didnt really offer any solution.     I tried
to contact the author of this old thread (Gerald Marsh, (anyone know
him)) but of course he is "no longer at that address".

Is there anyone out there who has even a passing familiarity with
FAXSR, and who may be able to help me out with this issue?

As far as I can tell, none of my disks are having any disk-space
issues, and all disks are well below the MAXFILES limit.     From the
old thread, there is reason to suspect the FAXSR_HISTORY file which is
indexed and has the CBT attribute (contiguous best try).      It is
possible (some of) the disk(s) is/are quite fragmented.   is it
possible that this is the cause??     I dont have any defrag software
to analyse the disks.

Are there native DCL commands which will give me this info??    (maybe
in the anal/sys or anal/disk)??

Anyway thanks in advance for any suggestions

by the way, the system is Alpha DS10 running OpenVMS 8.3.

The current owner of the product is OMTOOL, however they stopped
supporting it way back.
(their primary response is "send us your autograph on a check-shaped
piece of paper, and we will come around and attempt to migrate you to
our new Windowz-based product Genifax."
