Subject: rpc/xdr dumps on sgi, works on hp,sun,ibm malloc?
Date: 1 Oct 92 17:17:06 GMT

We have written a small rpc/xdr client-server program, which can (should) send
binary files from the client (called rpcsend) to the server (called rpcserv).
This works fine on hp,sun,ibm but crashes on sgi (PI 25 with IRIX 4.0.5).
rpcsend first sends a filename to rpcserv which file rpcserv opens,
then rpcsend sends data (a string) which rpcserv is supposed to write,
but here sgi crashes in malloc called by fwrite. We can print the string 
with printf, so string should be ok. The debugger tells us,
that sgi screws with parameter 1+4 in "fwrite( str, sizeof(char), strlen(str),
 fp)", so str(ing) and f(ile)p(ointer) is meshed with on the stack. 
gcc and cc (with or without -D_BSD_COMPAT, -lmalloc, -lbsd) gives same result.
Also when trying to transfer binary data, sgi gives NULL-pointer to our
own conversion-rutine, so sgi goes completly wrong. 

As program works on the 3 other platforms, there must be something wrong
with sgi either memory-allocation, parameter-handling or something else.

I was just installing a third party software product on a 4D/35 running
IRIX 4.0.5x (where x is either A or B, depending on who I ask --
probably A).  During installation I get the message "NOTICE: File table
overflow" repeated over and over on the console window.

A df -i shows that the file system on which I was installing the
software has only 16% of the inodes used (so THAT couldn't be the source
of the "File table full" message).

Anyone care to explain this message (and it ramifications) to me?

IRIS Inventor, the object oriented 3d toolkit from SGI,
may help you a great deal in your efforts. It provides a
file format, as well as operations for rendering, picking,
bounding box computation, printing, etc. By setting up your
data in the Inventor format, you can concentrate on what
it is you are trying to draw, and not worry about the details
of how to draw it.

>> We are now at the stage that we want to develop some USER INTERFACES.
>> What should we use?  GL or Motif? 

I agree with Michael Portuesi that Motif and GL is the way to go.
Inventor can help you here too. Inventor has a class library of
widgets commonly used in 3d systems, including a material editor,
color picker, directional light editor, and a suite of viewers
(examiner, walk, fly) for interacting with your data. There is
also an Inventor GLwidget which handles all of the GL/X bindings
for you - all you have to do is draw.

Inventor also provides 3d user interface, called manipulators.
These allow you to edit your objects directly in the scene,
and include the trackball, handlebox, transform box, etc. 
They also provide a framework for you to create your own 3d
direct manipulation objects.

Please contact your local sales rep for more information
on the IRIS Inventor 3d Toolkit.

Interesting... Around here, we have a whole bunch of PI's (with the
Hitachi monitors), and a few IBM RS/6000's and X terminals with the
19-inch Trinitron(R).  Everyone I know would like to have the graphics
and operating system of the SGI machines with the IBM monitor.  The
difference between the two is *so* obvious, and makes you wonder why
SGI would have EVER sold such monitors with their machines, when the
Sony was available when we got many of our Irises and looks so much
better.

We have a 4D/35 which *does* look better than the 4D/20s, though, so
maybe Hitachi is improving just a little bit...

Subject: HP-LJIIISI on SGis via TCP-IP
Date: 1 Oct 92 04:32:57 GMT


Regarding connecting the HP IIIsi to your SGIs...

We have three HP IIIsi's, all connected with Ethertalk card to the
Appletalk and accessible from the SGIs via CAP.  This works so well I can
hardly imagine how we coped before.  The level of control the Appletalk
connection allows is truly marvelous and I have built some scripts that
making printing (and LaTeX-ing and lptops-ing, etc.) easy for the users.
In fact, I can even go out on the Appletalk from within these scripts and
make sure the printer is online (that is connected *and* powered up) before
I send out the job.  Great stuff :)!

The only hardware you will need is the Fastpath box to sort out who's
talking to whom on which side of the network.  The coolest thing for me is
how the Fastpath knows about the HP IIIsi, which is on the Ethertalk side
of the world, as well as all the printer we have on the serial Appletalk
side of the world, with no difference as far as anything on the SGI is
concerned.  We actually had the HP without Ethertalk, had it running for a
while, then added the card, and presto -- everything worked as before - no
other changes necessary.

The software, CAP, as available from several sources and if you don't hear
from others as to where, let me know and I can probably find it again
quickly.  There are *much* more knowledgeable folks out there on CAP than I
am, and they would also be better suited to setting you straight on setup
and installation, which I have found to be less than trivial but definitely
doable (I am living proof that almost anyone can get it if they try and dry
long enough :) )

But the bottom line is DO IT.  It beats hell out of any printer
configuration I have ever set up or used.  As to the printer itself, well
you already know how wonderful the HP IIIsi is.....

Summary: Mail improvements
Organization: Centre for the Physics of Materials
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1992 00:27:55 GMT

	For those of you who like to keep mail in your mail file,
the behaviour of mail notification in "ocean" (the undersea background
program) has been improved.  For the rest of you, don't bother getting
the new version.

	Three basic features have been added:

	1) Clicking on the mail sign with RIGHTMOUSE will make it go away
	(when using -N to generate the click-to-read mail sign).

	2) Reading mail but not deleting it will be properly interpreted
	and the mail sign will go away.

	3) Using the -i option will inhibit checking for mail on startup.

Thanks to Jim Diamond for helping me to work through the fixes.

NOTE: This new version has been tweaked so as to properly use the "fixed"
  FAM library in IRIXv4.0.5.  Those using the FAMMAIL compile option
  and IRIXv4.0.1 will probably have problems.  A pre-compiled binary is
  available; be sure to get the pre-compiled "sign" binary as well
  if you go this route.

Xpsview uses the Adobe Type 1 fonts found in /usr/lib/dps/base, not
the X fonts or the SGI fontmanager fonts found in /usr/lib/fmfonts.
We currently bundle only the base 13 fonts (don't yell at me, yell at
Adobe.)  X11R5 will have access to Type 1 fonts, and the new SGI font
manager already accesses those fonts (shipped starting in 4.0.4).

You can get the additional 22 fonts as a side-effect of buying
Impressario from SGI.  You can also snag IBM PC format Adobe TypePacks
on 3.5" floppies and use the FontInstaller utility sent out on the
Indigo HotMix CD to install those on your SGI.

One of our happy zip users just got bitten by a bug (non-reproducible, so it

did all his windows, and he found himself logged out!  Here's what got dropped
in SYSLOG:

     Xsession: kaiser: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe)
     xdm[210]: Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 2688

Is this just a random coincidence (i.e. did the X server decide to snuff it on
its own), or is it an obscure zip bug, or some combination of bugs?  Has anyone
seen it before?

Somebody give Rambo some tranquilizers, or something, eh?

Come on, they aren't worthless, they just need to ask.  Do the
obvious thing, and double 6000 to 12000.  The whole set of
density calculations in dump is completely bogus anyway, all
you need to do is to be sure the calculations don't overflow
internally.  One of these days my dump enhancement that allows
you to simply specify the capacity will ship, and then we can
all forget about the s and d options.

When using miniroot to install sofware I've noticed things appear to
have 'Newer version installed' and 'Older version installed' at the
same time for the same bit of software. In other words, you see
 both 'N' and 'X' in the same column. What does this mean ?

All you have to do is say "lp file.rgb", where file.rgb is a SGI RGB format
image. It will print out, but it takes a while. You have the LaserWriter
set up as a Generic PostScript printer in the Print Manager.

The pinouts are in "man serial".

Cheers.

    Sure, no problem.  That is the way we have our Indigo running right now.
We have a 1.6Gb Wren 8 5.25" external drive as our only disk.
