We have SCO 3.2v4 running on Zenith Z-Notes here.  We also tried
running ODT 2.0 on our Z-Notes.  It works but with a maximum of 120M
HD it didn't leave enough diskspace to do any real work.  ZDS/SCO are
now working on a slimmed down version of ODT which should fit very
nicely on a 120M HD.  Zenith is planning on supporting SCO 3.2v4 and
the slimmed down version of ODT on the Z-Note.  The nice thing about
the Z-Note is that it has an ethernet port built onto the motherboard.

copyin() is a routine that is used to copy data *in* to the kernel
from user space - the source of the data is a user virtual address
and the destination is a kernel virtual address.

Here you are trying to use copyin() to copy between "rambuff" and
the address pointed to by a buffer header. Since "rambuff" is declared
in your driver it has a kernel virtual address and therefore copyin()
is failing because the source address is not a valid user address.

Assuming that the b_addr field in your buffer header is sane it should
also contain a kernel virtual address so in this case all you need
is a simple "bcopy()" routine to copy data.

Subject: compiling on dos from sysv via rsh
Keywords: compiling sysv dos
Date: 18 Nov 92 12:42:05 GMT
Organization: ASL Regensburg,Germany

Hi all !

I've to setup an awfull configuration for a big software project and get it
to work as soon as possible and need some input:

Configuration:
- several sysv machines (30-40) including sco, apollo(domain/os) using
dsee for configuration and developing managment;
- some i486 pc's (20-30); on these machines the intel C compiler ic86
must be running to produce binaries for a special 186 target hardware.
- all connected via TCP/IP

Because of developing under the dsee environment the compile jobs must be
started on the pc's via rsh(rcmd on sco,remsh on domain/os) and the pc's 
must be able to mount the sources from the sysv machines. 
In addition the pc's must accept more than one rsh job at a time, 
so they need some multitasking features.

OS/2 with TCP/IP and NFS isn't a solution,because you can't start a dos 
programm(the ic86 compiler) on an OS/2 Server with rsh or rexec, at least 
after a week experience in trying to do this. 
Next theoretical solutuon could be PC/TCP from FTP with DESQUview/X;
this configuration should offer NFS capabilities and an rshd feature
on the dos pc, but i haven't tried it yet(any comments?).

If this doesnt't work, .... ???????

Any input or experience with this kind of problem would help me
to get on with this thing. I'll summarize an repost.
Thank's a lot,
Gerhard

 PCI DOS ODT

More on running DOS applications on ODT server:  The problem is that I have
a DOS application running on a DOS board, The Complete Communicator from The
Complete PC.  It is a FAX application that is menu driven and allows FAXes
to be sent, received, viewed, printed, converted, etc.  This is a very
useful service.  I moved the hardware to the ODT Server which is a 486/33
EISA machine.  The application runs fine under DOS using merge on the server
from the SCO console at the server.  I would like to be able to allow my PC
remote users to have the same functionality available at their PC.  Thus I
need the ability to have the display appear identical on the remote PC.  At
present I get blinking, nonsense screens at the remote PCs and perfect
functionality at the console.  I am also confused as to why anyone would
install products like merge, VPix and the like on any UNIX server if they
did not want to make some sort of DOS functionality available to the server
population.  There seems to be quite a market for this functionality as can
be seen by the growing acceptance of DesQ-X which allows DOS programs to be
run on a DOS machine, but displayed in a X window on a UNIX workstation.
Thus I cannot see why what I am trying to accomplish seems so foreign and
backwards to the UNIX community.  Maybe I am missing the point being a
mainframe person who migrated to DOS, Windows and now UNIX.

Subject: Expensive file creation under SCO?
Organization: BITS, St. Louis, MO
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 18:51:40 GMT
Summary: File creation under SCO--as time consuming as it seems?
Keywords: file creation sco

On our SCO 3.2.2 system (may upgrade to 3.2.4 soon), our continuously
developing :) application needs to archive many (200-400?) small files
into an archive file, and extract them later.

We noticed that ar takes a while to extract the files (in our case,
extraction is more time-critical than the archiving, which incidentally
is faster), so we started working on our own, stripped down version. 

This turned out to take at least as long as ar, and after experimentation,
we learned that the bulk of the time was spent in the file creation.
We have tried open(), fopen(), and creat(), all with about the same
results.

I realize that directory searches become less efficient if the directory
contains more than x files (300-something, if I remember), but the
de-archiving starts with an empty directory, and our testing was done
with less than 300 files in any case.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve this?  We are using the
default SCO filesystem type.

Thanks!
Mike

Those dreaded movement keys!  Once they get "active", it sure
is difficult to get anything installed.  One minute your PageUp key
is sitting there on the keypad where it belongs, and then it's
jumped over and is snuggling up next to the "N" key... I really
hate it when they try to hide under the space-bar, and it's even
worse when they sneak into the motherboard and find the mouse-port.
Nothing is worse than a run-away mouse, IMHO.

But, if you speak firmly and clearly, informing them that you
will brook no nonsense, you will find that not only will they
stay in their assigned places, but that their "activeness" will
be confined to the functionality that SCO wanted them to have:
to wit, moving about and selecting things from sub-menus.

Your message and others have shown that to me. OK, I defined SCO_SOCKETS in
s-sco.h. I also inserted definitions to use the -s flag for ld, and the
-lc_s library.

Now the make gets to this point:

Stop.

When I installed our TCP/IP 1.2.0 upgrade onto a 3.2v4.0 machine, there was
an OS Maintenance Supplement included which upgraded the system to
3.2v4.1, and several very annoying problems went away.

Earlier today, I installed ODT 2.0, and while it had TCP/IP 1.2.0 and
NFS 1.2.0 in it, it doesn't appear to have had the Maintenance Supplement
as well (I know, cause the same annoying problems are back, and "uname -X"
just says 4.0).

Is there an equivalent beast for ODT 2.0?  I'd like to install it before I
start configuring much more stuff.

You could run a background process 'tail -f /usr/adm/messages &'

I sure thought that SCO had a key part of this project.  I do
remember that Tandy was orignally using Ryan McFarland to produce
a multiuser version of TRSDOS which was a disaster.  I thought
that SCO had ported UNIX to a 68000 based machine and was able
to rescue the Tandy project.

Seems like a lonnnggg time ago!

Tandy deliberately killed the 6000.  It was a good machine for 
its time, but I had no problems switching when I discovered that
a 12mhz 286 running SCO would outperform a 6000 by at least 2x's.

Try using the sysadmsh to add yourself to the list of console terminals.  I'm 
not sure how this works, but if you do:
sysadmsh
  accounts
    terminal
      examine
        console

you can see all the console ttys.  Perhapse you can add yourself to the list 
when you login, and then remove yourself before you exit.

I had no problem switching either (reliabilty was pretty poor on those
boxes) but I do remember running a 10 Mhz 286 against a 6000, running
identical Filepro apps, and it was pretty much a toss-up.  

I recall that this surprised me because the 286 seemed faster, so I
ran a number of tests (stopwatch, not 'time') and they all were pretty
consistent.

Maybe Filepro on the 68000 had a better compiler??

(BTW, just this spring I heard from a guy I had last serviced in
1983.  I had written some script to assist RealWorld on his 6000, and
he had a crash (surprise!) and couldn't find the script on the backups.
Still running the darn thing! Asked if I could rewrite the script.  I did,
and he was happy.  He did upgrade to a 486 a few months later, but I think
he got his money's worth out of both the machine and my script!)
