The 3B2 uses the WE3200 processor and is not all that easy to mechanically
generate code for.  There is definitely a lack of *working* compilers out
there for the 3B2.  For one reason or another, it has always been hard to
find ports of interesting software to the 3B2, and this seems to be worse
since AT&T decided to make 3B2 users upgrade to a different processor to run
current versions of UNIX (4.2).  Porting software now usually includes a lot
of hacking to get it to run under the older version of 3B2 UNIX.  

Good luck!  There are a lot of us in the same position!

We have a 3B15/401 here that we have grown very attached to and it is
acting up. Actualy, it seems to be quite ill.  It started out as an
apparent memory failure, but has progressed to something more serious.
When I attempt to power up the machine, the diagnostic leds come up,
then most of them (all but the memory boards) go out. The fans
actually sound like the power is dropping.  When I display the edt
table, the only entries are the CCC and CCS.

I suspect one of the power supplies has faied, but I don't really have
that level of experience with repairing these machines.  If there are
any kind souls out there who could give me a clue, it would really
mean alot.

Try increasing your ulimit.  The default is 1 MB, and the executable

Subject: Why is my program dumping core?
Organization: Tramway Unix Systems
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 03:16:32 GMT

Here's a question for the world at large.  I am at my wit's end over this.

I have a program that I wrote.  It runs fine on all other machines I can find
(from BSD to SysV).  But, on my 3B2, it dumps core.  To make matters
worse, it isn't *my* code that dumps core, but the stdio package!
Here's a trace of the post-mortem dump...

malloc.c: No such file or directory
0x808070ee in malloc:No lines in file
*t
malloc(0x408)   [malloc.c]
_findbuf(0x80888078)   [flsbuf.c]
_wrtchk(0x80888078)   [flsbuf.c]
fwrite(0xc00204e6,1,2,0x80888078)   [fwrite.c]
_resynch.label(0x80888078,0x80886707,0xa,0x4c0)
trace()   [trace.c:122]
main(argc=3,argv=0xc00201b8,0xc00201c8)   [main.c:420]
*q

The failure seems to be somewhere in the guts of fprintf.  BTW: this
is with SVR3.1 and the CPLU 4.2.  Everything above the trace() call is
from the system.  Line 122 of trace.c is a fprintf.

Can anyone out there give a suggestion as to why this fails like this?

My 3B2/400 has been panic-ing mysteriously the last couple days.
I quickly found that it happened when I exited the iScreen program,

while logged in on a tty.  If I log in from my Sun, and quit
iScreen in that way, no problem.

Any ideas?

Edit /etc/master.d/kernel

Find the line:

ULIMIT = 2048

         ^^^^ (or whatever yours says)

Change the number to your desired ulimit (in blocks, but bytes).

touch /etc/system
Reboot and enjoy your new ulimit. :-)

If I remember right, the VDC 800 was register compatible with the IBM
8514/A interface.  The VDC 800 was developed about a year before VESA 
came about.  The 8514/A interface is well known to software vendors,
and most support it directly within their products.

If I remember right, there was a "kind-of" driver that was necessary to
be loaded for some packages.  It wasn't actually a driver, but some
sort of high level software interface that you usually loaded at boot
time (this software interface came with the board).  I believe that this
kind of scheme was common for 8514 cards; you could write directly to
the registers if you wanted to, but IBM (it was their specification
after all) only guaranteed upward compatibility if you used the software
interface.  So all the 8514 clone vendors also shipped the high-level
software interface as well.

Keep in mind that the VDC 800 only provides support for two graphics
modes; 1024x768x16 and 1024x768x256 (depending upon the amount of RAM
you have on the card).  I believe the VESA specification actually
specificies the operating modes of the adaptor (640x400, 640x480,
800x600, 800x600, 1024x768, 1024x768, etc.) the pixel depth (16 or 256
colors), and the layout of memory planes.  The 8514 standard is
probably completely different, and probably doesn't map to the VESA
standard at all.

A "normal" VDC 800 configuration included the VDC 800, a VDC 600
(standard VGA adaptor) and a VGA pass-through cable.

To answer your question about the chipset, I believe it was based upon
some Western Digital 8514/A clone chipset.  I don't know what the
corresponding WD product would be.

Michael,

Yes, I went hunting for Joe back in November for this program and B&C
said they just sold out.  They said they didn't sell very many
though, maybe one a month if they were lucky.  There are still some parties
out there that I know of who would like to see the rights to turbofile
purchased or gotten somehow.  It's the best database program I know, 
especially when it comes to giving your drive a workout.  (grin!).

And yes, in case you're wondering, I'm now having to use the Freenet

I've had it.  These "improvements" the sysadmins keep making on campus
are driving me up the wall.

       I seem to have lost their address.  What was it again and do you know if
their catalog is free?

No! Action! is a 'normal' programming language. Its paragon is C, but it
was created especially for the 8 bit ATARIs and their abilities.

Oh come now Adam, you have a DOS manual, don't you?  I know that at least 
DOS 2.5's manual explains it all, and that MyDOS's manual might explain 
some..

Also, check out the PD program "BINVIEW" which shows you what chunks of a 
binary file goes where, and explains a bit on how it's done...

including RUN and INIT addresses!

 Try reading "Mapping the Atari".  It is the best book I have ever seen 
for the 8 bit and it is a shame there was none done for the "ST" series.

Now you have dos beaten try a boot disk, the first 6 bytes tell you all
you want to know about the disk.

Happy days

Was Action! ever available on any other platofrxxxx platforms? Is it
a dialect of BASIC?
