Regarding the problems your having with the ParOuterLoop:

It sounds to like maybe the stack is getting altered within the
ParOuterLoop.  I have seen similar symtoms when I tried to pass
arguements from the AppKeys to the AppDisplay routines using the stack. 
It seems that the ParOuterLoop messes with the stack somehow and screwed
up the values I was passing.

RPLMAN.DOC describes the AppKeys stack diagram something like this:

     #keycode #keyplane --> keydef TRUE
     #keycode #keyplane --> FALSE

I made the mistake of passing more than just FALSE to the stack.  The
arguements for the next command (in AppDisplay) was screwed up and
unpredictable results such as you described occured. 

This is just what happened to me and may be totally unrelated to your
plight.

One more thing...I tried to run a sys RPL program I wrote all the ways
you described with no problems.  I too have a ParOuterLoop surrounded by
a temporary environment with  named LAM's.  I noticed, however, that I
neglected to add the ABND at the end.  If anyone should have problems, it
seems it should be me.  I also noticed that the SCROLL example in
RPLMAN.DOC doesn't ABND it's environment either.  Does this mean that it
isn't necessary when ending the program?  I understand is good practice
to abnd these environments when they are not needed *inside* a program,
but the question is... What happens to these environments after the after
the program ends and an ABND is not executed.  Are the temporary
variables still taking up memory somewhere?

By the way Klaus...you seem to be missing an ABND in the listing you
posted here.

To summarize...I don't think the problem you are experiencing has
anything to do with the ABND but I've been wrong before...I think.  Let
us know what you find out.

Hope this helps!

   This makes me feel warm all over, knowing there is someone kind,
friendly, and caring enough out there to make sure little nuclear
families don't accidentally get to see anything naughty. I wish this
were more true of life in general - the good news is that we have much

Has anyone heard of the new 1.3" drive that HP has made. It is approximatly the
size of a matchbox. It is supposed to be 20 Megs in storage capacity. I think
this is great, and I could store **everything** for my HP on this. I wonder if 
HP is going to make an interface for the HP48. It is quite obvious that they 
are going to make it an interface for the HP95. I think it would be pretty
cool. It is also supposed to be very shock resistant (not anything new for HP)

Oh well, this may be old news, but I just wanted to put in my $.02

We at the "Stacken" - that's the computer club here, have an old 
masscomp running RTU 4.0A, too. As everything else, it's long out 
of contract. It's a 5600 with 1 CPU, 8 ttys and sadly no ethernet 
at all. So if someone has a surplus supply of EXOS boards - drop 
me a mail, too :-)

Our 5600 has only been up a month, after a long time of "hardware 
failure". It just indicated "cache memory write error" at boot up.
Finally after deciding that powercycling didn't help, I decided 
that it couldn't get worse and pulled the CPU-board out. Then I 
firmly pushed in each chip in its socket. After that "exercise" 
the machine booted without problems. You may "exercise" your EXOS
in the same way. (Heat movement makes chips creep up and out of 
their sockets.)

Because of its commercial past our masscomp had just the bare 
RTU 4.0A - in the last weeks I installed emacs, bash, gnutar
and I'm still struggling with tcsh (The SIGCHLD semantics seem
to be somewhere between SYSV.III and BSD4.1).

In the next months I hope to get it up on the net. Can be slip,
can be an old 3Com bord (from a SUN2). What are my odds :-?

Good luck with your 5500, I hope to introduce our 5600 as 
maggot.stacken.kth.se to the net soon.

Subject: Need help with networking problem on unix Concurrent machine.
Date: 13 Aug 92 23:06:21 GMT
Organization: ncurrent-request


I'm having trouble with a networking problem involving several
test stations running with a Concurrent computer (UNIX/6.1) 
(the man pages footer says AT&T SYSV.2 and 4.2BSD),
networked between two subnets (ethernet), with several X-terminals
connecting to them over the network.  

The problem is that periodically (on some nodes once to twice
a day) the ARPA network services on these nodes gets 'hung', for
lack of a better word.  These are the symptoms:

1.  I am not able to remote connect to a node that is 'hung' from
    one that is running okay by means of telnet, ftp, rsh, or
    rlogin.  

    With ftp and telnet, the initial connection is made:

    % telnet hung_node
      Trying...
      Connected to hung_node.
      Escape character is '^]'.

    but nothing happens after that.  Similarly with ftp:

    % ftp hung_node
      Connected to hung_node.

    and again no response after that.  

    Also, when the system is hung up, X-terminals are not
    able to download server code from it.  They are using
    tftp to transfer the server files.

2.  I *can* execute these utilities from the hung_node to other
    systems that are running okay.  Works just fine.

3.  The above symptoms led me to think that the netd process 
    was somehow locked up, so I tried to kill it.  It won't
    die.  No option to kill has worked so far. 

4.  The only solution so far has been to reboot the machine,
    which stops and restarts the netd process, and then 
    everything runs just fine.  

    The problem is that I can't just reboot the machine every
    time this happens.  There are users running from X-terminals
    and dumb-terminals all over, and I can't just keep 
    interrupting their work.  

So I need a less drastic solution than rebooting.  Anyone have
any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated.

I have an old, long out of contract, 5500.  It crashed and when it
rebooted it was off the net.  Examination and supervised rebooting
showed that there was a problem with the ethernet.  Powercycling,
reseating the board, general laying on of hands didn't help.  The
error messages (this is unix version 4.0A)

Ethernet 0 at FF0170
Ethernet 0 reset failed

later:
EXOS 0 sext msg with bad kludge pointer
Loading network TCP/IP software
Ethernet 0 reset failed

EXIOCRESET: Network is down

P/N: 9900020-04		REV: C
DC: 8905		ECN: 2063


On powerup, the indicator lamps have sometimes all been off from the
start, but usually lamp #1 is on steadily (which indicates hardware
failure) and sometimes lamp #3 is on steadily as well.

So: any hints?  Is this a recognizable component failure?  Is it
certain to be the ethernet board or is it possible that another board
is interfering with it (the FPU has on occasion failed diagnostics)?

Thanks,
Craig

Not to brag, but I thought I would inform you of some of my programs just 
hitting the market.  I have a BBS host system called IDIM released last 
month through Computer News 80 magazine.  This host is designed for TRS-80 
Model 4 computers with large storage capacity, such as a hard drive or a 
series of 3.5" drives.  A review of this software is to be released in the 
upcoming September issue of CN80, and sells for $80.
    I have just submitted a program called Mousedos, to CN80 for publishing. 
It is basically a shell program, only it allows you to a 2 or 3 button 
serial mouse to execute any TRS/LS-DOS 6.2+ file or DOS command.  It is full 
of graphic displays and floating windows, no high-resolution required and 
works on the standard Model 4 systems with 64K.  You will need a mouse 
driver with this program, also sold through CN80 Magazine.
     If you are interested in these products, you may order them through

Well Mr. Tandy, why don't you supply the questioner with the
deskmate for the Model 4.  This is what the termcap entry is 
that he has referenced.  That termcap did work with just fine.
It also could be copied to about any machine and also function.

Well, I have a Radio Shack TRS-80 color computer-2. This beast
has the following features:

* Built in color Basic Language
* It uses any standard color TV set as a monitor (not included)
* A ROM cartridge slot for instant loading of different
  Radio Shack program pack designed for it.
* An external floppy disk drive unit with one 5.25" floppy drive
  (there is also space to add another floppy drive!). Comes with
  all cables and interface module to connect it to the computer.   
* Two joysticks

It is in good shape and it works too. I have all manuals that came
with it. If anyone is interested to buy this beast, please make an
offer. Thanks.

   A few years ago an outfit called (I believe) Purple Computing

   accessed.  You might want to check back-issues of some of the

Hi all,
I am the *proud* owner of a Tandy FD1400 laptop.  I bought it several
years ago from the local Radio Shack dealer.  This wonderful machine has
two 3 1/2 low density floppy drives.  The catalog says that I can upgrade
the machine with a hard drive (20 meg?) for the low, low price of $1200.

I personally think this is an outrageous price and am looking for any
alternatives or suggestions.  Is there a standard drive I can buy and
install or would I be better off investing in a Toshiba or other state of
the art system?  I would like to think that the 106Mb drive I bought the
other day for one of our systems at the office would also work in my
laptop.  After all, the footprint is the same.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Oh, and while we're on the subject, what about internal modems?  Again RS
is proud of theirs at $200+ for this system.  I'm currently using a pocket
size modem that screws onto com1 but it is a bit awkward and gets in the
way of my printer cable.

Thanks in advance,
Ron

FastTerm II by Mel Patrick is a good terminal program.  It has scripts,
autoredial, and VT100 emulation, amoung a hundred other things I can't
remember (I got it June 1992 as a gift for my brother).

The VT100 emulator misses a few codes, but I sure Mel could fix that
if it was important enough to someone figure it out which ones--in
testing I ran into minor problems when running the EVE editor on a VAX
(DEC software often uses codes that you won't encounter else where).

It definitely is much better then the 'comm' program that comes with
TRSDOS/LSDOS and has features which aren't in a $150 Mac package
I use at work (mostly features which make a terminal program easier
to use at home with a modem in a standard setup--one is the completely
configurable redial--how long between redials, etc.)

The program is shareware, but I recommend getting it directly from
Mel Patrick for $15--that way you get the laser printed manual which
is very complete and well done at about 24 pages.

His address is:
	Mel Patrick
	8056 - 164A Street
	Surrey, BC
	Canada, V3S 7S7
	BBS (604)574-2072

Just ask for FastTerm II for the TRS80 Model 4 and send a check for $15
and don't forget to use the correct postage for Canada, it's about
$0.45 now (I had to send a letter to Canada 3 times once because I missed
the finer points in our mail system, like those F stamps have no value).
