Subject: LanMan/X and Printing to PCL5 printer (IIIsi)
Organization: The Turing Project, Charlottesville Virginia.
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1992 16:06:34 GMT

We're having some trouble with printing from DOS WordPerfect to a
LanMan/X printer (an HP IIIsi).  We get the error message:

line too long

on the first page of the print out and then in prints the first part of
the paragraph and no more.

We used SAM to install the printer, but there were only PCL options
through PCL4 so we chose that one.  Could that be the problem?  Do we
need to actually install the printer in the queue for PCL5 or does the
queue just pass a byte stream (a la Novell).  We would prefer the later.
All this is compounded by the fact that we don't yet have an x terminal
or othere xwindows compatible system so we can't yet use xlmadmin to do
the configuration.  Doing it from the command line is a real pain in the
ass.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I updated to 8.0 I also had similar troubles with configuring the
parallel printer device.  I let SAM do everything (including the wrong
major/minor numbers on the device drivers), then used mknod to create
drivers with the right number:

  crw-r--r--   1 lp       lp        21 0x170000 Jul 14 23:02 lp_dj

(I am using a deskjet+, hence the dj).  I would have suspected that by
now (7 months later) SAM would have been patched to do it right!
I got a lot of help from HP-people over the net at that time.  I am
sure you will too.
Oh, yes, you may need to change the interface description too:
here are the diffs between the modified interface (dj) and the serial
interface PCL3:

Organization: University of Essen, Germany


Hi there,
we use several HP 9000/400t computers (uname: HP-UX ikb-5 7.03 A 9000/375 ikb-5).
Actually, we try to update HP-UX to version 8.0. We have a SCSI-CD-ROM-drive 
which is not originally HP. It has a SONY-chassis. The 400 has two built-in
200 MB Rodime SCSI-disks with the SCSI-addresses 6 and 5. The SCSI-Bus has
the address 7. 

When the computer is turned on, it is possible to choose the HP-UX-Kernel from
the install-CD-ROM. It seems to be loaded (takes ten seconds), but then appears
an error message:

. . .
panic: rootmount cannot mount root
no dump device - can't save corefile
. . .

I have tested several SCSI-Addresses for the CD-ROM-drive, but the result
was always the same.

Has anybody an idea, what I have to do in this case?

We have an HP730 which mounts the whole of our Apollo ring onto /apollo.
We have about 50 Apollos.

Basically it mounts  apollo1://  onto /apollo

so that in /apollo you get apollo1, apollo2, apollo3 etc etc for each 
Apollo on the Apollo network.

All of our Apollos have a /user directory which contains nothing but
symbolic links to users home directories which could be on any Apollo.

So, for example  //apollo1/user/pearmana  may be a symbolic link
to  //apollo2/local_user/pearmana

Now, when logged onto an Apollo, if I :

     cd /user
     ls 

the files (or links in this case) are listed very quickly.


When I am logged into the HP730 and do :

    cd /apollo/apollo1/user
    ls

it takes an age before listing the files out as if it is chasing
all the soft links through to every Apollo referenced.
It must be doing something like this cos when I reduce the number
of links in the Apollo's /user directory from 100+ to just a couple,
the problem goes away and ls works very quick.

Why does it need to chase links ?
Shouldn't it just list the directory, and only chase a link if you
specifically follow it through ?

Subject: How to run PPL through a pty?
Organization: Computer Systems Laboratory, Stanford University
Date: 21 Jul 92 12:01:10

Hi,
	I've got one 705 at home and another one at work.  I'd like to
run PPL between them so I can get my home machine on the network.
However, my dialin isn't directly to a serial port on the 705 at
work---instead, I dial into a modem bank (a Cisco TIP) on an Ethernet,
and then use telnet or rlogin protocols to log into my machine.  I
believe it is possible to program the terminal bank to pass all
characters, so I don't have to worry about it eating control chars,
etc.

	Is it possible to run PPL under such a configuration?  From
the documentation, it appears that you can log in to a host and then
start PPL, but it also looks like the login must be through an
honest-to-goodness serial port on the host.  Is there any way to fake
it out so it'll be happy with the pty I get when I rlogin from the
net?

	Any advice would be appreciated.

Reply-To: dandy@stokes.LANCE.ColoState.Edu
Organization: CSU Chemical Engineering

I'm trying to use fbackup to do a full backup of one 9000/730 (8.05) 
onto a DDS connected to a second 9000/730 (also 8.05). I'm having 
no success with the following:

    fbackup -0 -g /tmp/backuplist -f able.baker:/dev/rmt/0m

After starting up, fbackup terminates with a message to the effect
that there is no such machine as 'able.bake' known to it. When I 
try the IP number instead of the name, I get a similar termination
message; machine '123.45.67' is not responding. (Specifying just
'able' is not sufficient for the nameserver.)

The bottom line is that no matter what I specify as the remote machine
name, fbackup seems to only pay attention to the first 9 characters of
that name (or IP number).

Is there some way to accomplish my goal of doing this remote backup?

All you need is the three connectors (S-VHS and 2 RCAs) and some length of 75 ohm coaxial cable.  There is no need for any impedance matching (other than the requisite terminations at the monitor, probably built in) or level adjust. Two of the 4 mini-DIN (that's the S-VHS connector) are grounds; they are the two pins most distant from each other and closest to the non-conductive guide pin.  The other two pins, closest together, are the Y and C.  I forget which is which; I'm deriving this from my working ca

Yes, with the PD software PARNET, and the cable that goes with it.

Yes, but it won't let you run CDTV-specific software on the 3000. Most
software for the CDTV isn't CDTV-specific however, so it will let you run
it on the A3000.

Not that it matters too much, if you want to run a CDTV-specific title you
could just boot up the CDTV.

The supposed A570 product is only for the A500 and A500+.

No, the best deal for us A3000 owners is to buy a CDTV, connect it to PARNET
for CD-ROM use, and use the CDTV itself for titles that use CDTV-unique
features like CDXL.

If you buy a CD-ROM drive with a SCSI interface, you can use it with your
Amiga if you have (1) A SCSI interface :-) and (2) Driver software that
understands the CD_ROM format, like CPR's CD_ROM FS.

Unfortunately, a lot of the cheaper CD-ROM drives use various wierd
proprietary interfaces, and are effectively PC specific. SCSI drives
tend to be somewhat more expensive.

Most PC CD-ROMS these days use a format called ISO9660, so you should be
able to read anything in that format. However, that may not do you much good,
because most _programs_ on CD-ROM tend to be for PCs (or MACs, which I think
use another format?), and won't work on an amiga.

Depending on the format of the data, you may be able to use the disk with
your own software - but if the data is stored in some wierd compressed format,
you're likely to be out of luck.

  include an external CD-ROM.

  What I was hoping was if I selected the right type I just may be able to 
  bring it home on the weekends, connect it up to my A590 and  er... ahem... 
  do some company work in my own time...  nudge, nudge, ;-) ;-).

  Please excuse my ignorance, but are the external CD's compatible between
  amigas and pc's?  How about the discs themselves?  If some CD's are
  compatible and some not, how can I tell which are the type to buy?

  Thank you for your advice, I'm off to practise bowing, scraping, grovelling
  and general fawning behaviours...

While AmigaVision 1.7 includes several new drivers, an updated SMUS player, 
the chaining feature, etc., we did not include arrays in that version of 
the authoring system.

As other people have posted...limited array-type functions can be performed 
using AmigaVision's database or even using the string manipulation functions 
on a string variable.
