The subject says all... Is it possible to play audio files on a HP 700
as on a Sparcstation ? I've another question : what is the name of the
frame buffer (/dev/fb on sparcs) on these hosts ?

Thanks for all. I'm starting to use HP's after a long experience of
Suns. Hard... !

It's not clear what question you are asking exactly since Softbench does nothing
with FORTRAN. I will make the assumption that the question you are asking is:

Why won't xdb (softdebug) print out the value of a multi-dimensioned array in
FORTRAN if the array is dimensioned "dynamically"?

e.g.
      DIMENSION ARY(10,10)

      CALL SUB(ARY,10,10)


      SUBROUTINE SUB(a,n,m)
      DIMENSION a(n,m)

C     a(i,j) cannot be printed out here by xdb


This is a known problem. Workaround is to give the actual dimensions in the
subroutine.

Today my machine (720) was upgraded to Softbench Revision A.02.01.
There was some functionality of Revision A.01 that I would like to
keep in Revision A.02.  Specifically I would like for the Delete
Line key to work like it used to. That is, 2 presses and the current
line is deleted no matter where the cursor is in the line. Now I have
to do <CTRL><A> <CTRL><K> <CTRL><K>. If I wanted to use control
sequences, I'd use emacs ;).

Also, in A.01 I could enter control characters (tab and return) in
the search fields. In A.02 I can not :(.

Finally, what are the valid shapes for the InsertCursor? I've found
bar, wedge, and doubleWedge. Is there a shape for a solid block?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'd prefer responses via email as I don't have time to read all
	 of the news groups I'd like to :(.

 P.P.S.	If you answer is RTFM, which fine manual should I read? I read

What makes you think it's not compressing properly with fbackup?
What makes you think it is working with tar?

The "controlling" factors in data compression being operational are:
	- kernel support (does the version of HPUX you have support the drive)
	- the dip switches on the drive being set OK (they come from the
	  Factory set to allow compression to be under host control)
	- the device files that you channel the data through

It would help to know which host type (s[3478]00) you have, and which version
of HPUX is installed. This would save copious amounts of typing listing all
the possibilities.

Fbackup itself is unaware that any compression is happening or not happening.

   At 8.07, there are (at least) two causes of unexpectedly large
FORTRAN executable size.

   They occur when using the -K compiler option or when using SAVE.  If
a subroutine with large non-common arrays is compiled -K, *and* that
subroutine also contains a string literal or a DATA statement, then the
large arrays will be placed in the initialized data area (and will
consequently take up space in your executable file).

Example 1:

C  This program illustrates the case with a large local array and
C  a string literal (check the effect of -K)

	program main
	integer a(100000)
	print *, 'hello', a(1), a(100000)
	end

Example 2:

C  This program illustrates the case with a large array and
C  a data statement (check the effect of -K)

	program main
	integer a(100000)
	data ii/1000/
	print *,  ii, a(1), a(100000)
	end

Compiled without -K on 8.07 (or before), the executable files are 16384
bytes each.  Compiled with -K, they are 413696 bytes each, because the
files now contain the a(100000) array as an image of 100000 integer
zeros.  This behavior (putting uninitialized saved arrays in the
initialized data area when the routine contains other initialized data)
is considered to be a bug, and is fixed in the HP-UX 9.0 release for the
Series 700.

Besides -K, you can also get this behavior by using "SAVE" in your
source files.  This is also fixed in 9.0.

If you must use -K or SAVE at 8.07, one workaround (as mentioned
previously, (thanks, Gordon)) is to place the local arrays in a named
common block instead.  As long as nothing in that common block is
initialized by a DATA statement, that common block will be placed in
uninitialized data, and will not consume space in the executable file.
Another workaround is to SAVE only those local variables that must
retain their values (hopefully not the large array), and then not use -K
or the global SAVE statement.

And you could always just wait for the 9.0 release (shipping Real Soon if
not Right Now).

> The object-files are still 
> small, the problem seems to be the linker.

Try looking at the object files with size(1).  If the second number
(initialized data size) is large, you found the file of interest.

    i have tried to use the workaround and found that it works fine for

Mediainit does a verification pass and spares out bad blocks on its own.
The fact that the fault light comes on indicates the drive detected a
major problem during its self-test.  An inability to write would tend to
confirm this.

It sounds like a total hardware failure such that reading and writing are
not possible.  This can't be induced by any sort of scrubbing that a user
could do.

I'll check on this, but one point:  The character 124 is the UNIX "pipe"
character, a vertical unbroken bar.  The character which IS being
generated is a ISO 8859-1 vertical BROKEN bar.  These characters appear
the same in many fonts, so I can guess that a misunderstanding has
