Gnews is a system hog, AND it's slow to boot..  My news software can handle
100k of news in about 10-15 seconds (on my friend's 386/20 w/8 Megs, in about
5 seconds on my 386/33 w/16Megs) thanks to the expanded buffer caches.  Cnews
is almost as fast or faster (depending on your directory setup..  on my machine
it's slower, on my friend's its a TINY bit faster)

 Ok. I have gotten uucp to work, sort of...(had to create a new modemcap
 entry for my modem). I successfully downloaded the file "howto.start"
 from mwcbbs using the command:

   "uucp /mwcbbs!/usr/spool/uucppublic/mwcnews/howto.start /tmp"

 It worked. my /tmp directory now contained the file "howto.start"!

Now, the file "howto.start"  says that in order to download any more
files from mwc I must first download the file "mwcbbs.tar.Z" from the
directory: "/usr/spool/uucppublic/downloads/updates".

Ok. So I used the command:

"uucp mwcbbs!/usr/spool/uucppublic/downloads/updates/mwcbbs.tar.Z /tmp"

The connection was made, information was sent, but nothing appeared in
my /tmp directory. Anyone have the answer? I tried it several times, but
my long-distance phone budget is rapidly approaching zero.

Yesterday I uploaded Udo Munk's COH 4.0 - port of nn 6.4.16 to raven
into the directory pub/coherent/incoming32. Today, the files are gone!
I can't find them in the sources32-directory, either!

What happened???

I still have the files sitting around in my heavily limited disk space
(1 MB quota on my internet machine) and want to get rid of them. So before
I have another shot at uploading them, could somebody please give me
instructions on how to do a correct upload to raven? I _DO_ know how to
ftp, but what kind of notification of Jay Beavers, keeper of raven, is
necessary so he can take the appropriate steps and move the files to
sources32?

I just hope that it wasn't some greedy soul who erased the files.

Man, I'd love to do this, and I'd love any help.  More specifically, I'd
like to get a program running that gives database-like access to the files.
 For example, see SIMTEL35.ARC & SIMIBM.ARC in wuarchive.wustl.edu
/mirrors/msdos/filedocs as an analog for the Simtel20 MS-Dos archives. 
It'd be great to be able to sort programs by subject or time/date.

Anyone game?

Yes, why did you put [] around the argument?? The [] is interpreted by

I've wondered the same thing.  Is there a good, simple wordprocessor that I can use to do letters and documents?  It doesn't have to be MS Word, but something a bit more advanced than vi or MicroEmacs.

The tick() function to return time in system clock ticks is listed in the
Lexicon I got with COHERENT 4.0.1.  The Lexicon says it is a system call, and
it is also listed in the Lexicon section 'system calls.'  Have you tried it
yet to see if it is really absent? ;-)  Supposedly one can convert the time in
clock ticks (since startup) into actual fractions of seconds with a constant
called HZ defined in const.h .

I can offer DTE (a Wordstar clone) ported to 3.2. I haven't compiled

That would work, except that mail coming from the internet would just go to
their mailboxes if somebody replied to it.  Then I would never see it, and 
couldn't handle the forwarding, if I understand you correctly.  I said censor
in my original post, when what I really wanted was to stop the mail and

When Coherent asks if you want to use polled mode or not, it is because
com1 and com3 on a PC use the same hardware interrupt, and therefore can
not both be interrupting the computer at the same time. If you are using
both, you can use one in interrupt mode and the other one must be polled
by Coherent.

(Come to think of it, the reason my VT102 may be dropping characters is
because it's in polled mode and I have a slow computer.... hm .....)

Taylor UUCP works fine with Coherent 4.0, and gives better throughput than

Okay, the beta for an installable news package based on wnews, vn and

tass is ready to go.


Pant, pant, beg, beg, plead! :-)

Posting the uuencoded archive to the list is fine with me. . . but I'm
one of the people that wants it. :-) Barring that, perhaps posting it
on mwcbbs and on raven.alaska.edu. I hesitate to even suggest mailing
it to everyone individually. I suspect that would keep you busy for
quite a few days, and implementing an automatic feed from your site would
probably keep your system bogged down from all of the requests.

So from my point of view, it seems the best method would be to post it to
the list and/or mirror it on mwcbss and raven.alaska.edu. That's my two
cents worth, notwithstanding taxes and inflation.

What's the chance that what you compiled under DOS used the FPU resident in
the '486, while Coherent's libraries do not?  I am betting that if you
flagged the compiler to produce software emulation of the '87 only, you'd
get just about the same Dhrystones on the '486 as on a fast '386- with the
DOS compiler I mean.

So, has anyone built a NPX-accessing math library yet?  I have wondered if
MWC did not supply
that in their libraries to avoid having to either wrestle with NPX context-
switches in the kernel or craft an NPX-controlling device driver.
