Greetings!

I am trying to identify the problems that are considered to be the key
problems in the area of Network Management, going beyond the ones solved by
CMIP, DME, and SNMP etc.  In particular I am focusing attention on fault and
performance management issues at the transport layer. I would
like to hear from people who are working in the related areas
or have some experience and/or ideas on the topic that they would like to
share.

The problems of interest for example, could be related to :
        - abstractions used to describe the system
        - protocol design, specification, and validation techniques
        - modelling and statistical techniques
        - framework for dealing with incomplete and erroneous information
          on problems
        - gathering and analyis of problem related data
        - automation of detection and recovery
        - design of suitable interfaces to aid discovery, diagnosis and
          recovery

I would prefer any feedback via e-mail. I shall post a summary
of the information thus collected.

Thanks for your help.

I tried to get in contact with people involved in the development of the

it to be forwarded. No response, no return of my mail - all dead.
This was more than a month ago, so I give up waiting.

Can anyone else help me with mail addresses to OSP people? The documentation
is written by M.Kifer and S.A.Smolka, as far as I can understand they
are located at Stony Brook, but any person at the project will probably
be able to answer my questions.


(For those who do not know: OSP is an operating system simulator,
developed for educational purposes. Students may write their own

Thats not necessarily true --- pbmplus formats come in 3 pairs for
(bitmaps, graymaps and color pictures, each of them in binary or ascii
coded format). pbmplus programs can read each of them, and you choose
at installation time whether you like the binary or the ascii format
as default for output.

      Firstly, pbmplus was written in C, thus generating huge and
inefficient executable code.
      Secondly, pbmplus does not do what I am trying to accomplish, namely
create an _OS9_ standard format for _printing_.

GCC has a bunch of configuration files that tell it how to generate code.
There are a few obvious (or not? :) gotcha's, such as:  Last I heard, GCC
uses the native floating point format that the system it is running on uses.
If this is different from the target system, you could have trouble.  If both
machines do IEEE you are probably ok.  You'll have to look for other stuff
like this.

> Assuming this is all I have to do, how
>would I get libraries from my OS-9 machine into somekind of linkable state?

When running GNU ld on System V Unix, you use a program called "Robitussin"
("COFF medicine" :) that converts COFF object files into BSD object files.
You could do one similar for OS9 if you can find the format of .r files
somewhere.

You might run into problems with position independent code-- I don't know
that GNU ld does this or not.

You could also let GCC generate assembly code and let your EXISTING 
cross-assembler and cross-linker make the modules.  That way you get a
good compiler without having to do all the assembler/linker support.  But 
when you do this, GCC doesn't know how to generate debugging information
for your non-GDB debugger.  Whether this is a problem depends on how much
you like debuggers.  (e.g. I don't have a *useful* OS9 debugger, therefore
I wouldn't miss having one.)

>Is is legal for me to copy the libraries my OS-9 machine to use on another

The libraries for your cross-compiler are already licensed for the machine
you are using them on.  Usually the license says you can't disassemble them,
but I doubt that it says you can't compile them into your program. :)

The libraries on your OS9 machine are licensed for that machine, but you
may have many OS9 licenses (I have more than I'm using) or the license itself
may have terms about what you want to do.

We are looking to replace our current cross-development environment.  We
are currently using Microware's Unibridge product which gives us a
cross-compiler for our SGI workstation and some network tools to allow us
access to the source on the SGI from the OS-9 target when in a special
debugger.  We are have found some bugs with the pre-Ultra C OS-9
cross-compiler and would like to ditch it for something ANSI-ish.  I have
seen GNU C compilers out on the Net but what I want is a
cross-compiler/assembler/linker for my SGI box.  Microware is apparently
not supporting a cross-development version of the Ultra C compiler for the
SGI (if any platforms) and besides I've heard that gcc is still better.

(Finally the question) Has anyone out there created a cross-development
environment totally with GNU tools?  I know that gcc will generate code for
other than the system it is running on, but I am not sure how to accomplish
this.  Do I just compile gcc and tell it to generate code for a 680x0 and
do the same for gas and the gnu ld?  Assuming this is all I have to do, how
would I get libraries from my OS-9 machine into somekind of linkable state?
Is is legal for me to copy the libraries my OS-9 machine to use on another
machine?  Could I use the ones that came with Unibridge instead?

I started what you are talking about (I think) some time ago.  In the end,
I settled for the existing formats of PostScript and/or TeX format ".dvi".

I then created two filters (GhostScript and the PD dvi processor) and
integrated them into the OS-k print spooler.  I also wrote a small
C routine to open a path to the print spooler with a given type ("PS", "DVI",
etc.).  If the spooler wasn't running, it would fork the proper filter on
its own.

I got the DVI processor to compile, but was missing the fonts, so I never
tried it.  Somebody has gotten it to work with a better font method and
I think it is available from Delphi.

Ghostscript would never completely work for me.  I got it to compile with
a bit of effort, but it could never find the fonts even though they did
exist.  Maybe somebody else got it to work.

I'll post the spooler C routine again.  I think it (or something like
it) should be used in all programs that write to the printer.  That way,
people with print spoolers will get the best use from them.  It also
makes specifying your output format very easy.

This is a pretty vague question.  What type of hardware are you running on?
If your hardware has a timer chip that measures in milliseconds, then
yes, you can read milliseconds.  If you have no such timer, then no.

You may have to "cheat" to read the timer because OS-9 only keeps time
based on the number of "ticks/second" it gets.  On many systems this is
100t/s, though it does go higher.  (By cheat, I mean address the hardware
directly instead of going through a proper driver.)

You might also be interested in a package called PBMPLUS which is very
much what you have done.  It has an group of internal formats that it
uses and lots of converters.  (It was written for image conversion, of
course :)

I bet you will find that his bitmap and your bitmap look a lot alike, and
you could get a lot by using his color code.  The only problem I might
expect is memory limitations in your computer.

You can get it from ftp.uu.net.

That sounds very well indeed! And what about defining a 'standard set' of
keywords to be used? I would recommend the following ones:

kernel	-> kernel related postings (so it would be easy for Linus to get them!)
libs	-> postings related to the libraries
prog	-> postings regarding progamming under linux (also gcc questions should
	   go to the gnu newsgroup!)
net	-> network related topics
docs	-> postings about the documentation (would help Lars ...)
SLS	-> SLS specific postings (that one is for Peter :-) )
X386	-> only for linux-specific X386 topics, like announcements, bugs ... 
	   everything else should go to comp.windows.x.i386
TeX	-> only for linux-specific things, like announcements, bugs, ...
	   but everything else should go to the TeX newsgroup(s)
contact	-> Everything like announcing user groups, requests for contacts ...
admin	-> 'administrative' postings (if someone takes the task), could be used
	   for the announcment of new keywords and treir replacement ...
discuss	-> if you would like to start a discussion of a topic :-)
	   this could allow everyone to exclude the discussions (who would do
	   that?) 

But the set of this keywords should be limited, to be useful that is!
What do you think about this? Could it be helpful? And if yes, should there be
some sort of supervisor for this thing? 
Or is this posting just "wasting bandwidth" ? (I hope not !)
