   ...any particular UNIX machine? The reason I ask
is that CDC has in fact got 2 possible solutions
for you on the EP/IX operating system for CD4000 machines

   a) A port of the actual SCU product - useful
  for people migrating SCU libraries but somewhat
  "unnatural" as regards "the-unix-way-of-doing-things"
  in terms of maintaining one large library and doing all
   the *COPY kind of work inside iteself as opposed to
   letting the compilers themselves handle the <include>
   statements. The big advantage though is that you can
   still access your old libraries created with SCU under 
   NOS/VE.    

  b) ADCM (Aide-de-Camp Manager) which was designed
  to provide the functionality of SCU but adapted to
  the "Unix-way-of-doing-things" in terms of what the rest
  of the environment expects (lots of smaller compile files
  in a catalog hierarchy suitable for "make" processing etc.)
  This is a product that sits on top of Aide-de-Camp - a product
  available on many UNIX machines and we have been able to port
  ADCM fairly easily to some other machines as a result. This
  product will not however read "old" oldpl's created under
  NOS/VE.

Hi folks,

Tank you all of you sent me e-mail for my question about
X-server program on Mac. I have received several replies.
Here is summary.

1.how to get MacX
	MacX is bundled with AU/X 3.0 but also sold separetly.
	Suggested retail price is $239.00 in USA.
	MacX can be ordered through Apple dealer in USA.
	Call the Apple catalog, 1-800-795-1000 or (800) 554-5999.

	But in Japan, MacX is NOT sold as a separate product.
	(I called Apple Japan yesterday and they told so....)
	So I have to contact with dealer or Apple itself in USA.

	BTW eXodus is sold in Japan. But its suggested retail 
	price is over $500..

2.MacX,eXodus, and what else...
	There are two major X-server programs on Mac: MacX and
	eXodus.
	Most people who replyed to me are using MacX.
	
	deguise@ccrs.emr.ca (J.-C Deguise) wrote that there is 
	another X-server program called PlanetX. But he didn't 
	know about it either.

	One reply from Japan said there is X-server program which
	is included in DEC Pathworks for Macintosh. But he 
	does not know anything about that. So, please contact 
	DEC,if you are interested in.

3.pros. and cons. about MacX and eXodus
	I could not get enough info to compare these products,
	especially acout eXodus.

	MacX:
		Vrey true to X-windows enviroment
		Good handling of rootless window
		
		Slow, memory eater( even with 5Mb you can get "out of
		memory" message)
		doesn't communicate with Ultrix
		Has problem with CLUT

	eXodus:
		can communicate with Ultrix

		Slow, memory eater
		Has problem with CLUT	


	Thanks for your kindness.

	I think I'm going to use MacX.
	Beacause, I don't have to use X-window 
	programs so often, I prefer cheaper one.

PlanetX from InterCon is an X-Window CLIENT program, NOT a server program. 
It allows a user to remotely operate a Macintosh from any X Window System
server. I believe this is just the opposite of what you need.

I don't know what you (or whoever told you) mean by "doesn't communicate
with Ultrix". We have been using MacX version 1.1.7 and 1.2 as an X-server
to some DEC RISC/Ultrix machines (5000/200 and 5000/240) for awhile and they
work fine.

You see, I was working on my LC II, using Word 5.0, on a document
of  >200 K size (30000 characters). All of a sudden, my screen went
black. I thought I accidentally activate "after dark", but this happened
so many a time, that I start getting furious. What I did to stop the black
screen was alt-ctrl-(and that key up there) to restart the computer,
or reboot it.

Now, what is (are?) the problem(s) with my mac? Software? Hardware?
I have 4/80 memory, and no other program was on.

HELLLLLLLLP !

Well, the only problem I have with the finder is when I occasionally work
on a large screen. If the size of the screen is large in terms of pixels,
characters that are defined as being N pixels high start to shrink and
threaten to vanish off the screen.

Also annoying is dragging the mouse all the way across the screen between
the window and the menu that is associated with that window. I wouldn't
mind seeing the primary menus being attached to the window.

Those are the only things that I'd like to see changed.

I'm not familiar with psfig, but I've had dvips output fail to print on
a standard BSD lpr/lpd networked printer.  It seems that a part of lpd,
called psparse, barfs on a line which reads ``%%Feature: *Resolution 300''
and of course, the user is never told.

I couldn't find anything in the Postscript Language Ref. Manual (2nd ed.)
about "Feature", and unfortunately this Document Structuring Convention
line is hard-wired into dvips.  An easy cure was to edit the executable
of dvips, changing the second percent to a space.  Things now print.

I can vouch for the IW 1 working on 50Hz current, but I hear the IW 2

[Rave about sumex structure being awful deleted]
[Rave about mac.archive structure being great deleted]

There is, however, one major advantage to the sumex structure that the
mac.archive structure does not have. BECAUSE sumex is mainly one-level
directories, one can ftp there, type 'ls -lrt' and immediately see where to
look for new stuff. This is complely impractical with mac.archive. You have
to download the new additions file then step through it file by file,
continually cd'ing up three layers and down another three.

If the archives ran on decent computers that could be configured to reflect
changes in subdirectory contents in the date published by 'ls -ltr' I would
be willing to live with a many-layer system, but given the way things now
work, I avoid mac.archive if I possibly can do so.

Just my opinion,
Maynard Handley
