We try to do the trick automagically, every year on the 1st of January
a small cron entry which takes care of running a script does the trick.
Summertime starts the 3rd Sunday in March and ends the 3rd Sunday in
September, these dates vary around the world. Be carefull about using
this format of the TZ variable, some programs cannot handle it (the old
SYSV/BSD story).

Classic Sun RPC & XDR code is sloppy about malloc() and free().  They
made free(x) do nothing if x==0 or x points to an automatic variable
on the stack.  That does make hacking out code (esp. XDR) easier, but
it also makes bugs harder to find in other malloc() applications.

I don't remember if we changed one or more the IRIX malloc packages to
do similar things.  It might be effect to build a wrapper for free()
that detects bogus args.

We have a 4D 70G which got real slow after upgrading to IRIX 4.0.1.
The delay between a logout selection and the appearence of a confirmation
dialogue is 4-5 seconds. I would like to know if there are any standard
methods for speeding up machines that got slow with IRIX 4.0.1. Also I
am not able to get back to IRIX 3.x.x simply by resotring the system 
from old tapes. Does installing 4.0.1 cause some permanent changes so 
that one can't get back to 3.x.x .

Looks like something is wrong with your machine, because zip versions 2.91

If the user has the opportunity to type an interrupt, the .cshrc will
abort.  A more secure method would be to set the user's shell to
something like /bin/true.  Depending on the version you're running,
you may need to modify your POP code to allow for this.

Date: 5 Oct 92 14:16:48 GMT

I had alot of the same problems you did.  Its seems that you have configured
the kernel ok (usually mmap will give an error if the mapping fails). I
believe that your problem is the way you access the registers on the
card.  Remember, your is _short_ address space.  This implies that
your card has 16 bit registers.  You've got to make sure that you
access the registers with a sixteen bit read or write.  Use a
short for direct memory reads or writes.  I beat my head against the
wall on this one for a while before I became enlightened.

The problem with dbx panicing is a bug in my opinion.  It does it with
every SGI IRIX verison I've tried.  I'm on the verge of calling the
hotline.

Are you going to upload some code to the card (a VMIC I gather)?  are you
using an embedded OS?

I work with TIFF extensivly.  It is a very general imagaging format.

The screen of a workstation is a very specific imaging format.  You
must decide what it is you want, what is is you have in your TIFF
file,  and ( in general ) what info to throw away when you view a
file.  

The SGI viewer does not always make good choices.  Due to the
extremely broad definition of TIFF 6.0, you should try to describe the
problem a little better to get a better answer.

I agree.

There is, in fact, a bug then.  This previously described behavior has been
seen on Exabyte 8200 and Cipher M990 with NCR SCSI piggyback Prom revision 8
(see below), under IRIX 4.0.5.

We have in fact done what you have described, and all seems relatively
functional.  (There is a small inconsistency on the above mentioned Cipher,
but in general all is well.)  We try to reproduce all tape drive actions
(and bugs) on our Kennedy, which we consider secondary because it
seems less reliable than the Ciphers (the ON/OFF switch breaks, BAD
SCSI messages appear, occasionally, etc.) and so lately I haven't been able
to use it.  Just wondered about SGI's current Cipher status.  Thanks.

Thanks to Dave and Jeremy, both, for your timely responses...

Do I need to report above mentioned bug to the Hot Line?

Until later,

Thanks Dave for filling in while we were busy getting IRIS InSight ready for
MR.  No we aren't changing it's name anymore.  The IRIS InSight Viewer and
Document Library is the current name for these components of the IRIS InSight
family of products.

The description above is generally accurate.  The "standard Iris manuals" are
several of the End User manuals that get shipped with each machine.  These
include the IRIS Essentials (formerly WorkSpace User's Guide), Showcase User's
Guide, Utilities Guide, and Personal Systems Administration Guide.  Also
included will be the Site Administrator's Guide.  The viewer has several
means for navigating the books, via your standard table of contents, list
of figures, list of tables, and back of the book index.  It also has hypertext
links that connect related portions of the books for ease of finding related
topics of interest.  The books are also fully indexed with a powerful full-text
index retrieval system.

IRIS InSight has MR'ed as an option product for 4.0.1 so that most user's
can obtain it for their systems.  For a future OS release it may get bundled
with the standard IRIX distribution.  Contact your sales rep for more details
on ordering InSight.  We think you'll really like it and would like your
feedback.

the Keyboard Gizmo, put the cursor into the Keyboard Gizmo window, and press 
at the same time the Ctl+Alt keys, you should see the bullet character in the
middle of the first row of keys with labels.  If you are entering text, you
can click on the key with the bullet sign to insert the bullet character.

Hi,
  I have had a similiar problem.  Namely, at times I cannot run my
application on the machine I am sitting at, although it runs fine on
another SGI machine displaying on the machine I am sitting at.  Does that
make sense?
  I have no idea why this happens, but it does seem associated with the use
of an in-house graphic description language.  At least it did until I saw
your post.  Now I don't know.

  Anybody else??
