I haven't crashed it yet, not even once.

I'm using Coh4.0 mostly for maintenance of elvis.  Consequently, I've
used the compiler and troff, and not much else.  There may be problems
with programs or drivers that I'm not using... but the stuff I do use
seems pretty solid.

The high-speed C compiler is wonderful!  I'm tempted to try and run it
under SCO Unix.  There's hope, since they both use COFF binaries, but
I'm worried by a note in the Coh4.0 documentation which says that shared
memory is implemented in an incompatible way.  The Coh4.0 C compiler
uses shared memory to run as fast as it does, I believe.

Other than being wonderful, there isn't much to say about the compiler.
It compiles C code well, so I don't worry about it too much.  It is not
an ANSI compiler, though, and there is no lint.  Somebody should do
something about that.

The troff formatter is not wonderful.  It works, but it has some quirks.
For example, the argument to a \sSIZE string must be quoted.  Also, the
-ms macro package is rather incomplete, but at least they give the
source to that, so it is fixable.

I did try to run troff under SCO Unix.  (Hey, its better that what SCO
gives you for $1500: nothing.)  It didn't work.  Apparently MWC is
shipping a Coh3.x version of troff with Coh4.0.  I thought that was
interesting.

Oh, how I hope this is not true.  I had this problem with 3.2, which
eventually after about 10 (or more) file system trashings, caused me 
to wipe it off my hard disk entirely and put DOS back on.  I guess all 
I can do is sit and wait for my upgrade, and hope this does not happen a
second time.  I don't think I'm enough of a unix guru to go to linux
or BSD...

There are some hints in "UNIX System Security" from (If I remember right)
Howard H. Sams. They propose rsh and give some receipes for the use of it.
So at least I would try if I could. If there is anyone out to send me 
a diskette for Coh 4.0 to try it out? :-)

It can't run without modifications in the kernel. A user process can't

tables or trap gates. Also all I/O device drivers must be rewritten
to handle competetive I/O accesses between Coherent and a virtual
8088 running DOS. This all is really a lot of work, and needs lots
of code. As far as I could remember an SCO kernel grows up several
100KB if you install VPix!

Hm, for me it's independent, because I've *no* partition active.
To boot any OS from one of the eight possible partitions is the
same work: typing the right number key into the prompt of the
bootmanager. The only problem is to remember, which partition
contains which OS :-)

I transferred cnews via ftp-mail from Raven last night and started
compiling it this morning. It took all day and I finally had to grab
dmake from raven to get it compiled. For whatever reason, I ran into
more problems with MWC's version of make than I care to remember. Once
I grabbed dmake, most of the source compiled with a few required changes.
In the file libc/getdate.y, I had to remove all ='s to get yacc to
compile it. For example, item: tspec = \n {timeflag++;} I had to change
to item: tspec \n {timeflag++;} (where \n is a newline). I guess I'll
found out eventually if this broke anything. During configuration, I
selected usg (AT&T System V) as the base operating system and had to
comment out the libusg/ftime.c file to prevent duplicate ftime() functions
found by ld. I also had to change various makefiles because of a strange
problem with cc finding the libcnews.a file. As is, cc/ld would complaint
about requiring ar -s to create a library. I had to change LIBS=../libnews.a
to LIBS=-lnews, link /usr/src/cnews/libcnews.a to /usr/lib/libcnews.a,
and remove $(LIBS) from the dependency clauses. This is caused by the
fact that cc requires -lnews and automatically translates it libnews.a. Thus
the roundabout contortions to keep cc and ld happy. Finally, I had to
rearrange the ordering of a couple of makefiles to put $(LIB) after the
name of the object file. For example, one makefile had something like:

	$(CC) $(COPTS) $(LIBS) myfile.o -o $@

I had to change this to:

	$(CC) $(COPTS) myfile.o $(LIBS) -o $@

The reason, I discovered by manually running cc -v, is that cc passes
the options to ld in the same order received with some exceptions, and
ld apparently searches files in the exact order specified.
