The following works for me (DEC5500, Ultrix 4.2A).
Notice that your `$' finds the number at end-of-line but
doesn't swallow the \n---that gets passed in as the next character.

[~/src]black% cat foo.l
%%
^\.I[ ]+[0-9]+$ { puts("Found .I line"); }
[~/src]black% lex foo.l
[~/src]black% cc lex.yy.c -ll

Hi, this worked great before so I'll try again.
I am bewildered  about the at command.
On my system it seems to work sometimes for times that I am logged on.
It usually works on the appointed time when I am not logged on.
I have found that when i am not logged on, my job is sometimes delayed
even though it is the only one in /lib/cron.
Could someone please explain AT to me.?

Subject: What approach to CD-ROM?
Organization: Coles Supermarkets
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 21:33:11 GMT

I'm in a bit of a quandry about how to decide on a CD-ROM approach.
I have a 486 ESIX UNIX system with a SCSI HDD which I also use for DOS.
I would like to get a CD-ROM which I can use under Windows 3.1 but
also under UNIX for PD software etc.

I am told that packages like the Creative Labs CD-ROM package come with
a CD-ROM drive which will only work if plugged into the sound board SCSI
port and won't work properly plugged into a standard SCSI card (I have
an Adaptec).  So this solution will work for DOS but should for UNIX?
How do you access it?  Is it just like any other drive or do you need
special drivers?  Do they come with them?

Alternatively I am told I can buy a superior CD-ROM separately (say an NEC)
which will work fine off the SCSI card under UNIX but I may have problems with
drivers and things under Windows 3.1.

Anyone feel like taking the time to let me know what worked for them?

Much appreciated.

Regards

If the modem is not properly configured to drop Carrier Detect when the
phone line is disconnected, this could be possible.
Log in to the suspect system, then disconnect the phone line to the modem.
Dial back into the system.  If it is properly configured, you will get a new
login prompt.  If it is not properly configured, you will be returned to the
previous login session, still running.

This one has me stumped.  But perhaps I'm missing something simple....

Hardware:
ALR VESIA business system  (486 25mhz EISA box)
HP laserjet+  (and a IId too)

Software 
Esix SysV rev 4.0.3 with bugfix for lp1 lp2 slowness

Problem:
I have a file that has imbedded softfonts to be DLed to the printer.
(the fonts ARE good)  What works with the machine/printer combo are:
1-boot machine under DOS and copy tested lpt1:
2-cat tested > /dev/lp1
3-modifying /etc/lp/interfaces/lj1 to read  cat $6 > /tmp/tested2
  and then lp tested after it's finished cat /tmp/tested2 > /dev/lp1
(lj1 is the name of the laserjet on lp1)

What DOES NOT WORK is
1- lp tested with the standard printer interface file. 
2- lp tested with an interface file of cat $6  2>&1  or cat $6
(changing to cat $6 > /dev/lp1 doesn't work.  The port is 'locked' 
due to the lp interface file being run.  :-(  )

What happens when it doesn't work is the softfonts get
'munged' aka the 1 refuses to print in one of the fonts, the y
and other characters in another, ad nausium.

Now by my reasoning the problem can not be in:
1) the device driver for lp1
2) cat command
3) lp spooling system up to the interface file

Can anyone give me a clue beyond:
1- Yea, it's broke
2- Yea, get on your vendor

Terminal control characters (a.k.a. escape codes) are _very_ terminal depend-
ant. That is, one set of escape codes may work fine for one terminal, and 
behave very differently on another terminal. Keep this in mind if you don't
know the terminal type of the user reading your .plan.

For info on escape codes (or sequences), look at the man pages for 'termcap'
and/or 'terminfo'.

We're having problems where 7 different hosts (3x HPUX, 3x VAX, 1x
Apollo) 
hit a SCO Xenix box every minute, on the minute trying to get to socket
60 000.
We had several boxes mistakenly running routed and this was causing
serious
traffic problems, as everyone who thought they were a router would send
out
ICMP redirects in respone to this one SCO box rejecting connect requests
to 
that port. Well, as of now, we've routed off on all the unnecessary boxes
and 
have the cicscos configured to filter all socket 60 000 packets, which
has cut down on traffic considerably, but the problem still exists. Does
anyone
have any ideas on how to track this down and eliminate it?? (I'm toying
with
writing a hack to listen on port 60 000 and log anything it hears to a
file. At
least that will stop the 'connection refused' messages.)

Find will allow a shell-type expression to be specified as the name.
You can do

	find . -name "*.tex" -print

for example.

Good luck...

Just to clarify (I have gotten some e-mail questions), the guy I was
talking was saying there was a way by dialing into the modem to access
the system bus directly, and somehow with "machine code" get root access
to the Unix system.

This seemed ridiculous to me, but I had to be sure before saying he was
wrong.

The modem security issues already posted are good points.
Thanks.

   I saw fsome directory and files with S in place of the X bit in group
permission bits. Can anyounne tell me what it is? I have an outdated unix
