Yes there are more differences than just those I mentioned.  But I think
that they are the most important ones.  SunOS comes with TCP/IP and two
flavors of windowing environments.  Coherent has neither.  Does that
make Coherent worse?  Not if you only have $100!  I use a $60K Hewlett
Packard workstation at work.  But I have Coherent at home.  Why?
Because Coherent gives me all the functionality i want to read my email
and news and develop admin scripts for the office but does'nt make my
wifes eyes roll back in her head when she looks at the bill.  If I had
the money to buy a Sun IPX or SGI Indigo I'd probably have one at home
but today I have Coherent on a 386/20.  I guess that Sun Solaris is
available for the 386 but it's bound to be bigger than 10Meg and
probably is more than $1000 by the time you throw in the developers
toolbox.

Oh I almost forgot, besides being smaller cheeper and slower Coherent is
more stable than SunOS too!

I also had this problem too. I decided that I was hallucinating and switched

You're missing the point.  Coherent 4.0 is running just fine for me.

This seems to be the same problem I had. The "light flickering" appeared
when the system went multiuser (in fact when init tried to login to all
devices in /etc/ttys). I did not succeed in preventing this by changes
to the /usr/bin/modeminit, especially a ATE0 which should have worked,
didn't work.

So what did I?  I removed the com1fl from /etc/ttys. Seems to work.
I hope someone has a better solution, because this is somewhat rude.

With 2MB never. Last week I've upgraded from 2MB to 5MB. After
an upgrade of my disk space (I guess you'll need 30MB free disk
space to compile gcc) I'll try to get gcc running with my 5MB.
MWC suggest 8MB to run gcc.
If someone has an running gcc binary, please sent it to me :-)

If we are talking about the same empire (there are two games named
empire), I've run it on a large System V and it needs really lots
of memory (600KB data space + several 100KB's code). You should
add the compiler option -VPSTR against the core dumps. Sources
are laying around here, next weekend I'll take a look at it under
Coherent 4.0, then I can tell you more.

Hi folks,
I always liked the builtin screensaver that is in my 3.1.0-d Coh.
But after I upgraded from Hercules to an ET4000 it seems, that the
screen stays on all the time.
Is there a way to patch it, so it will turn dark a VGA as well.
(Both is text mode 80x25 of course)

I would like to hear, that there is a solution to this problem.

Hm, I haven't crash the system either with 4.0-beta nor with 4.0.
How much memory has your system? How many virtual consoles are
installed? How many virtual terminals are you running with the
screen package? The shell can't fork another proccess, if there
isn't enough memory for that, but this hasn't crashed anything
so far here. Forget about the error numbers in the uucico logfile,
run uucico with -x9 and tell us what it does.
What did not produce the same results, lex or the compiled program
created by lex?

I'm going to set August 31st as the cutoff date for the 4.0 survey.

I really haven't asked anyone to say whether they *like* it. I figure they'll

As far as I can tell, the biggest problem is the duplication of Disk 2

I hate to burst your bubble but using one '>' works fine. Try it yourself,
as shown in the original message. In fact, all of the files on the hard
drive are fine. I merged them together using one '>', uncompressed, and
extracted from the tar archive. Nothing wrong with any of the files.
It's the fact that the files copied to a floppy are _shorter_ than the
files on the hard drive that's causing a problem, and this includes
files that were downloaded in one piece.

I've just got my copy of 4.0.1 loaded up on my wife's Lasar 386sx (4 mb ram,
30 mb IDE partition, and hooked to my USR 14.4k v.42 via com3).  I seem

I get back a message that com3r is either locked or non-existant....

I'm going with the default of 9600 for the com3 line, and also have commented
out the 2400 baud line and uncommented the 9600 line in L.sys for mwcbbs.

So, does there exist a FAQ that I can download from somewhere over the

something that will do the job?

I'd greatfully appreciate it.

2. Very good compatibility with Unix.  Many commands available.

3. No X-windows

4. Comments: Excellent package for the price.  Manual (1200+ pages) is

Probably the poor compiler's optimizer is choking while trying to
reduce a ridiculous piece of code ;*)  Why don't you optimize it
by hand and have a prettier program:

	if (a && !b)
		a = 0;

depending on context, you may even say

	if (a) a = b;

isn't that better? :-)

Mwcbbs 3 lines work like this:

0412 is generic 2400/1200 bps
0452 is 9600, v.32, MNP USR (USR Dual STandard Modem)
0445 is a Telebit

When busy, 0412 will roll over to 0452.

In your case, you should set your phone number in L.sys to dial 0452 directly.
