Bustek (the folks who make the BT-542B SCSI card and other bus mastering
adapters) has bought out Chantal and changed their name to Buslogic
(or some other such thing).

I'm quite excited by this move.  Everybody I've talked to about the
Chantal drivers has told me pretty much the same story:  (1) the
drivers work very nicely, and (2) the company was the worst, most
arrogant bunch of SOBs you'd every want to deal with.  I'm hoping the
Bustek (errr...Buslogic) folks can beat the disfunctional corporate
culture out of Chantal and fix #2 above.

 Sorry if this sounds simple,
        I have SCO Unix 3.2.2 with ODT 1.0.1 and I'm considering updating to
 SCO Unix 3.2.4 just so I can compile X11R5. My applications at present are
 running under the X11R3 and Motif 1.0 from the development system. But if I
 upgrade at a large cost and compile X11R5 will my Motif release still be compatible ??  Is this worth the trouble ??

 One more thing ... How come SCO's Open Desktop still only supports X11R3 ???

I posted about this problem in the SCO mailing list (== biz.sco.general)
half a year ago.

I forget the details, but it has to do with how the date command is giving
results on your system.  I think if you type 'date', you do not see the
timezone?

Look in C-News anne.jones script, somewhere in /usr/lib/newsbin/*.

You need to go into /usr/lib/lang.src, fix the the tim.*.src script that
you want to use, then run timtbl to install that fixed source so that the
anne.jones script gets what it wants.

I'm using Taylor-UUCP 1.3 on SCO Xenix/386, with the FAS 2.10 drivers
without problems.  The serial port (stock 16450) is locked at 38400
to a Worldblazer. Everything was also working with FAS 2.09.00.

Might be something specific to 3.2v4

If someone steals your box, then they either want the hardware or the
software and data.  In the first case, boot/root floppies are largely
irrelevant.  In the second case, presuming they have the software and
the skill, they could boot DOS from floppy and take a stroll through
your filesystems with a disk editor.  When a hostile body has your box,
there isn't any amount of software security that's going to save you.

So?  The two statements ("unix was designed to be secure" and "unix was

All "secure" means is that people who are not supposed to have access to

For some strange reason Dell changed the USL install code such that
you cannot create separate root and var filesystems at install time.
You need to do that afterwards. Change the file /etc/partitions to
include a separate /var file system.  Now you can create this slice
with mkpart(1M).

There are a set of tools call MTools (if memory serves me correctly)
that will allow to you to access (read/write/dir etc.) MSDOS
floppies from UN*X. I have used it on both BSD and SVR4. You can
reteive the files from just about any archive site (wuarchive, uunet,
gatekeeper, etc)

Chantal was purchased recently by BusLogic (formerly BusTek) and
has probably been going through the usual period of adjustment.
This is probably part of their delay getting their Cornerstone
and Paragon products out for SCO 3.2v4.

I have had very good results dealing with their support people
(other than getting it through my head that things weren't as
complicated as I thought they would be :-).

:I'll say they are.  I have a client running SCO Unix, and we

I haven't run benchmarks, but do know that the transfer rates
reported by CTAR on an Intel 403/E (486-33 EISA) with Archive
Python 1.2GB DAT drives is consistently around 9.5MB/min using
Chantal drivers under SCO UNIX 3.2v2.  I don't have a consistent
basis for comparison with other systems since this is the only
DAT tape drive I've installed.  I see about 5MB/min using SCO
drivers under 3.2v4 with an Archive 2150S tape drive on the Intel
403/E.
