This is a pretty simple question.  I want to create a device similar to 
/dev/null on unix.  Can it be done?  I have tried to make a program to 
dump stdin until EOF, but I have to do a pipe instead of a redirection.
i.e. command | devnull   instead of   command > devnull
My application treats these differently, don't ask me why.

Email prefered.  :)

This is in the FAQ.  It is not currently possible to run MS Windows 3.1
under VP/IX or DOS MERGE.  Windows 3.0 can only be run in REAL mode,
not standard *or* enhanced.  Sorry.

Does it _have_ to be in enhanced mode or can it just be in protected mode?

If protected mode will do you can run MS-Windows 2.1, 3.0
and 3.1 in protected mode in QNX 4.1 with our "rundos"
product.  It's not really our main market but QNX does a
pretty good job as a DOS/UNIX bridge.

One simple way to speed kermit up is to increase the packet size.
Ie. use the kermit commands
	set rec  pac 500
	set send pac 500

The default packet size of 84 is quite slow.

What's wrong with the DOS device NUL:.  This does exactly what Unix'
/dev/null does.

The system here just "desupported" kermit and I have decided to try
Zmodem as a more efficient method of downloading. I got Procomm Plus
to replace my old Procomm setup; however, I've having trouble
a) connecting and b) deciphering the man page. I can invoke Zmodem fine
from the unix prompt but when I go into Procomm+ to transfer, nothing
happens. My question is about the variables that should be added to
the prompt line (i.e. %sz [ ? ] filename)

Anyone had any experience with this setup?

I got zmodem from wuarchive (I believe) and I have compiled and installed
it on our Sun without any problem. It supports xmodem, Ymodem and Zmodem.

Better yet, /dev/nul (yes one 'l') exists in DOS as well. Pity there
is only one 'l', but it's DOS.

I believe there is a switch to disable the /dev/nul in DOS, but I cannot
remember if it is an Undocumented feature or not. Also, I have MS-DOS 3.3.
It is possible that some DOS's don't recognize /dev/nul.

In case you are wondering, I do not have a /dev directory on any of
my disks. /dev/nul is in the OS.

Take a look (ie ftp) on garbo.uwasa.fi in the 'unix' section. There are
a number of them, eg 

   comp430d.zip  compress, uncompress, zcat v4.30d
   decomp.arc    unix compatible uncompress (w. C)
   extar10.zip   Extract files from a tar file on MSDOS, w. name

DETAR11.ZIP will open UNIX tar files, but won't create them.  Both 12 & 
16 bit COMPRESS are available in the latest WAFFLE release (WAF165.ZIP)
  
Can't help on the troff - good luck!!
  
The other 2 are available from your favorite BBS or almost any ftp 
site.
  
If you have trouble finding DETAR11.ZIP (it's rather old) let me know 
and I'll uuuencode it and mail it to you, it's VERY small.

Have you set up file type when you used kermit to download the files to your
PC? Files normally have two types: binary or text. You have to set file type 
in both ends: kermit and communication software in your PC (I am using ProComm).

Good luck!

You can get both 12 and 16 bt comprees in the version 1.65 release of 
WAFFLE Available as WAF165.ZIP at a BBS of ftp site near you.
  
I just got it and they both work admirably, althought the 16 bit 
compress requires some MAJOR free RAM....

Get the DSZ package. I think it's under the directory:

I use the rzsz package to transfer files between a RS/6000 530 and a
pc running procomm+.  On the unix machine, failure to specify the -e
option has resulted in the problem you describe.  The man page states:
  e    Force a ZMODEM sender to escape all control characters;
       normally only XON, XOFF, DLE, CR-@-CR, and Ctrl-X are
       escaped.

Someone wanted to know how to find out where a program was being run from.

This is a fairly crude attempt, which looks at memory mapped pages and decides
that if one of these is the executable, it must be the right one.  Given the
inode it then converts this to a filename using `find' -- is there a better way
to do this?

% ofiles 2125

 mmap   = file inode 22047 on nfs fs 33291 (/am/jewel/home/jewel1)
 mmap   = file inode 9701 on nfs fs 33282 (/usr)
 mmap   = file inode 9701 on nfs fs 33282 (/usr)
 mmap   = file inode 3848 on nfs fs 33291 (/am/jewel/home/jewel1)

/usr/lib/libc.so.1.6

# Now just need to check which of the three is the executable...

/am/jewel/home/jewel1/openwin3/bin/dsdm:        sparc demand paged dynamically linked executable not stripped

< Ta daaa...  But what if somebody removes the executable?>

% cp /usr/bin/sleep .

screen. I want to put up an alert window occasionally then get rid of it 
and have the windows underneath redraw themselves. It's not very easy to 
extremely difficult to know what windows are on the screen. Currently I have 
to update each window that the alert covered (with a touchwin). A touchwin on
the alert window doesn't seem to work. 

Is there an easy way of doing this?

If anyone is interested in the answer I'll summarize on the net.
Thanks in advance

Does anybody know how to use the ptrace system call successfully? I have tried with no success.
I am trying to trace a child process after doing a fork(). After the fork I get the child to do
a ptrace (TRACEME) and then generate a signal to stop it (using kill). The parent does a wait,
when restarted the parent tries to trace the child, but it doesn't seem to work. Somehow the 
child is being killed or something. Here's what I tried:

	default	: /* parent */
		if (wait(&status) != pid)

		}

		printf("status: %08x\n", status);
		errno = 0;

Hi all,
I am writing an application that will do pattern matching using the
wild characters * and ?; regular expressions may be separated by |. I want
to use regcmp()/regex() or re_comp()/re_exec() depeding on the
platform but I just cannot get the same results from different ports
for the * wild character. I substitute the * with .{0,} and only SVR3
systems give me the right results. BSD and SVR4 either do not match
properly or do not match at all the patterns I specify.

Any suggestions?

Tasos

Subject: Does X/Portability guide or POSIX support socket?

I know POSIX currently does not include networking. But I have a
software uses socket, I need to run on VMS POSIX. I think I read
somewhere socket is supported by X/Portability guide, and Digital
supports X/portability guide. Does it mean I can use socket calls
from within the POSIX environment?
 
If I can't what should be my best try in this case? On VMS there
are different TCP vendors: CMU, Excelan, Walongong (may be wrong
spelling). How can develope a portable networking code which should
run on POSIX environment.
