Subject: Require help with NFS/Share
Date: 14 Sep 92 22:46:55 GMT
Organization: The Haunted Unix Box


I'm having a few problems with NFS/Share that I can't iron out, and that
I can't find mention of in the manuals.

I'm running System 6.0.7 on a Mac IIcx and NFS/Share 1.1.2.
NFS/Test reports that there is NFS, lockd, pcnfsd, & pcnfsd2 on my server

1) If I create a folder (either by copying it from another drive or
creating it with New folder) on the NFS drive, I cannot move the folder
by dragging it.  It says "That item could not be moved (disk error)"  I do
have proper permissions for what I am trying to do.

2) If I manually mount a partition, then restart without first unmounting
the NFS drive, the next time I try and mount that drive, nothing happens. 
In order to get it mounted again, I have to delete the %Desktop file on
the Unix drive.  If I set the drive for auto-mounting, it works fine.

3) Sometimes when I try and copy a folder with many files in it, I get
several dialog boxes telling me the current file it's copying already exists
and do I want to replace it?  (How can it exist when it hasn't even copied
it over yet?)

4) Now, after I manage to get some files copied over if I try and delete
them, they won't go away.  I drag them to the trash, I empty it, the files
(or folder) disappears, then a second later, its back!  Just as
if it were never deleted!  This only seems to happen if I grab a large
number of files or folders and try and delete them all at the same time. 
Deleting in smaller numbers seems to work better, but occasionally there is
one file it just refuses to delete, and it will not delete folders that are
not empty. (System 7.0 note: for the heckuva it I installed system 7.0 and
tried it there, everything happens pretty much the same, except sometimes
deletion will lock up the computer and require a reboot)

Any help with the above problems would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You

  Your only problem is you're off by an order of magnitude here.
There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, so the correct answer is 
  (640*480*8)/(8*1024) = 300 Kbytes (i.e. 307200 bytes).

  If you want 16 bit, multiply by 2.  For 24 bit colour, multiply this
by 3.

  In general, this isn't the exact amount of VRAM you need to install
to get a particular resolution though.  For example, on a Quadra, 
some of the memory accessing techniques used to get high performance
require that successive display lines are located on power of 2 
boundaries.  Thus, although 640 x 480 x 24 theoretically fits
in 1MB of VRAM, the Quadras actually require you to go to
2MB of VRAM to get this many bits.

Sorry if this sounds like a blatant product plug, but, I have experienced so  
much frustration learning and using MacTCP in the past that I cannot help  
myself ...


If you want to more than simple comms between Sun and Mac, you should try our  
XEvents tools - Apple Event style comms for Mac <-> UNIX - and forget about the  
MacTCP API's once and for all.

As to simple examples, the Developer CD series has some. But be warned that  
they have BUGS in them, and do not properly close/release TCP connections.  
(VERY frustrating to have to learn that the hard way!!)

Arman, initially I thought the same way you did, that it would be nice to
have an external volume control. But then that means that there would have
to be additional hardware (a mechanical switch) which is just another thing
which is a wear-n-tear component (something I think should be minimized).

Just my $.02 worth.

Setup:  Mac SE/30, Sys 7, Asante EN/SC 10T SCSI Ethernet adapter, 10BaseT,
EtherTalk Phase2.


Problem:  When I go to the network control panel to change from LocalTalk
to EtherTalk the machine hangs.  I have two machines with the same problem.
The strange thing is, I've got two others with identical setups that work
fine. 

What I have tried:
Removing all inits, other than the EN/SC init.
Using a different (working) EN/SC box.
Using a different (working) UTP line.
Re-installing the system.
Re-installing the Asante drivers.
Using a different hard drive.
Casting magic spells, etc.

All to no avail.

I have called Asante tech support and they have never heard of this problem
before.  If anybody reading this has, and knows a solution, I would really
appreciate hearing it.  I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure
out what is going on.  Why would it work fine on two of the machines, and
not on the other two? Were there two generations of SE/30s?  I am grasping

Yes, you just asked a question on par with "what is the TRUE religion?"
There is no 'pat' answer for the RGB->CMYK conversion, as many other variables  
figure in. UCR, GCR, process color purity (cyan ink has magenta & yellow,  
magenta ink has cyan & yellow etc.), all contribute to the CMYK components.  
Even the color of what the CMYK will be printed on, comes into play, somewhat.  
(it's rumored that the phase of the moon is thrown in sometimes.) Anybody that  
does RGB->CMYK conversions (also known as process separations) usually keeps  
their algorithms as secret as the Coca-Cola formula. (Big money in digital  
pre-press).


BUT.. All of this is to get 'accurate' or even 'usable' conversion.. If you  
want just a rough guestimate (which you would RARELY if NEVER want), you can  
use these simple formuli: (all values are in the range 0.0 to 1.0) All of this  
is gleened from Photoshop's separation preferences.

rawC = 1.0 - R
rawM = 1.0 - G
rawY = 1.0 - B
minCMY = minimum(rawC,rawM,rawY)

C = rawC - minCMY * .55
M = rawM - minCMY * .55
Y = rawY - minCMY * .65

minCMY = minCMY * 2 - 1.0		// this should be an exponential..
					// but this is an o.k. approx.
K = clipped_between(0.0,minCMY, 1.0)

Like I said, this is a ROUGH estimate.. DON'T TRY PRINTING WITH THESE!!!

In a perfect world, yes.  However this assumes that the transports between 
the originator and recipient are all working right, with (among other things)
no address rewriting that would make generating a return response unlikely.
A positive delivery acknowledgement carries more information with it in this
case than the non-receipt of a non-delivery notification.

As I know, there are only three alternatives to get the Mac connected
to ISDN-networks. The First is a NuBus-Card named "Leonardo" by a
german company "Hermstedt". It supports 2 B-Channels at 64000 bps,
but not V.110. There are two software products that support it, but
their protocol isn't compatible, so two Mac's connected have to run
the same software.
Another product comes from "Dr.Neuhaus GmbH" in Hamburg/Germany. It's
a standalone V.110-Modem, which is connected to the serial Line of
the Mac. It's used like any other Hayes compatible Modem, so you can
use Z-Modem on ISDN.
On the MacExpo in Berlin I heard that there is a new card announced
by a french company. I forgot everything except, that it shall work
with all other cards. Well, we'll see what comes up there.

I have discovered that the current version of MacTCP, 1.1, doesn't work
with some very old Kinetics EtherPort SE cards we have in one of our Mac
labs at NU. To fix the problem, I had to use the old MacTCP version 1.0.1.

Does anybody know of a solution to this problem? Is there a newer version
of the EtherTalk software I can install that will work with these old
cards? The Kinetics company no longer exists. Is the Dayna EtherPort card a
descendent of the old Kinetics card? Is there any chance Dayna would have
some newer software which would work?

Our old installer disks for these cards also don't have EtherTalk phase 2. 

If possible, I'd like to locate some newer software for these old Kinetics
cards which would support both phase 2 and MacTCP 1.1.

Pete is 100% correct. I can verify this by our experience here at NU. Our
primary domain name server is often very slow, and DNS requests sometimes
time out. MacTCP 1.1 on our campus, configured as in Pete's note, always
properly retries the DNS request using our backup server.

Pete is right - it's quite confusing. The "default" button doesn't mean
"default server", it means "default domain name extension".
