Will the 735 scsi port be able to handle a disk drive
that is:
	A) SCSI ?
	B) FAST-SCSI?
	C) FAST-WIDE-SCSI?

It would be great if you could configure the port for 
any of the three.  What's the word?

Subject: linked pascal proc with C program
Date: 20 Nov 92 14:52:18 GMT
Organization: Electrical Engineering Dept Manchester University

Hi,
    Hope someone can help with this little problem. I'm calling
a pascal procedure from C program. Although the program runs ok,
I'm having problems with arrays of double. Maybe I'm compiling and
linking wrong. Anyway, the simplified program is:

------ test.c ------

#include <stdio.h>
#define SPT 5

extern void pas();
typedef double glmma[SPT];

main()
{
  glmma a,b;
  int   i,c;

  for(i=0;i<SPT;i++){
    a[i]= i ;
    b[i]= i ;
  }

  c = 10;
  pas(a,b,c);

}
------- testpas.p -----
        
$SUBPROGRAM$
	program pas_main;
        cont spt = 5	;
        type glmma = array [1..spt] of longreal	;

	PROCEDURE pas(VAR m:glmma; VAR n: glmma; p: integer);
	BEGIN
        END;

	BEGIN
	END.
----------------------
I compiled and linked it by,
 > pc -c -g testpas.p
 > cc -o test -g test.c testpas.o -lc -lcl

When I checked with the debugger I found that m[0]=a[1],m[1]=a[1],m[2]=a[2]....
Shouldn't it be m[1]=a[0], m[2]=a[1] ... ?
   Trying to access m[0] in pas() would give me an error.

Any somebody help, or better still send me an example.

Cheers.

  I have not done/tested this and it is not supported (HP-UX is a SVID

reasons we supply termcap (in /etc/newconfig) and the hpsub, hp and 2622

Hello,

On my HP7xx/HPUX 8.07 workstation there is a daemon called
`ptydaemon' running.

I couldn't find any manual page describing its functionalities
and interfaces (I suspect its role is to allocate pseudo-tty

Could anyone enlighten me ?

Many companies manufacture a GPIB card for the ISA bus.

I see nothing blatantly commercial about ranking the performance
of the workstations available on the market today, especially if done
by a non-financially-involved third party.  This sort of ranking is
frequently posted to the net, but usually not in such a comprehensive
listing.  (You did mean _all_ current workstations, and not just
HP, right?)

An appropriate forum for such a ranking might be comp.benchmarks,
where such things have been posted in the past.  Just be prepared to
get e-mail telling you how meaningless the performance ratings (MIPS,
SPECint92, etc.) are.

This is no bug.  Under the WARNINGS section to chmod(1) (this is on a
9.0 system so your manual entry may be different) it says:

    HP Clustered Environment
      The absolute numeric_mode of 4000 also serves to hide a directory.
      For symbolic mode_list elements, the permission letter H is used to
      hide a directory (see cdf(4)).  Root directories cannot be made
      hidden.

What you have done is turn the directory into a CDF.  There are no
contexts for that CDF, so it disappears.  You can find it if you look
for <name_of_file>+.  Or use 'ls -H'.

It's certainly possible to turn a client into a standalone system.  All
you must do is boot it from a local system disk instead of the server,
either a disk that already exists, or go through the installation
process.  There's no need to even remove the client from the server
until you're sure it will never again boot as a client.

I don't think that was your real question and I don't know the answer
for SCSI versus HPIB disks.

Might I humbly suggest that if you are using UDP, and do not have a
mechanism for dealing with with lost, out-of-sequence and duplicate
packets, then your application is broken?  By definition, UDP is an
unreliable connectionless protocol: packets can be lost, duplicated or
arrive out-of-order.  It is your responsibilty to handle these
conditions, not HP-UX's!  If you can't, don't use UDP.

One way to customize cxxdev is by using the $XAPPLRESDIR shell variable.
Set it to a directory where you keep your own ressource files. 
(Like ~/app-defaults for example.

Then in this directory copy the cxxdev ressource file. 

If you have the stand alone version that's /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/CxxDev. 
If you have the softbench version that's in /usr/softbench/app-defaults/CxxDev
(Note that the softbench version has several ressource file in that
directory. One of them might satisfy your needs...

Then edit whatever fields you want to change.

Hello... I have recently cone into possesion of an "hp-260" workstation.
It was donated to a local high school by a financial institution, and I
was contacted to help make it work. I have zero hp experience, but plenty
of sun workstation experience. I have put the whole thing together, (system
consists of a cpu box, labeled hp 260, another box which contains a disk of
unknown size, and a 1/4" cartridge tape drive.) turning this beast on, with
one of hps' terminals connected to "controller 1" shows self tests happening
"droms" loading, and system software loading. The machine then sits there,
and seems to be really good at interpreting BASIC programs.

So... what do I have here? What do I need to do/get to make it work? 
I understand this box will run some version of hp-ux, and that I need
to get some boot tapes for it (no tapes or docs came with, of course)
HP has been of no help- tells me they cant help me... don't support the
thing/software any more. I would be eternally grateful if someone could at 
least point me in the right direction... if someone could provide software
to get this thing on its feet, ill send you blank tapes-- any help would
be appreciated.

  As you probably are well aware of, you can not expect any "official"
answers in this forum, but yes, this is, as far as I know, generally,
still the official policy.

  Supporting patches in the presence/absence of other patches is not a
simple matter. As one of our Sun colleagues once said in this forum
(quoted from memory): The industry has a name for the tested and
supported set of all patches, it is called a "release". :-)

  However you might be interested in the proactive patch (management)

(depending on country)) "Personalized Support" and "Premier Support"
System Support packages (level 6 and 7). Please contact your HP support
organization for details.

If you want to make backups and you have a backup device on a remote host do the following:

        1. On the remote host that has the backup device, put the
           following line in the /.rhosts file:

                       local_host       root

           This will give the local host root permissions on the
           remote host.

        2. Use a /etc/fbackup or /etc/rdump to do the backup:

                 /etc/fbackup -i path -f remote_host:device

           path is the tree to be included in the backup graph, and
           remote_host is the name of the host that has the backup
           device.


See the man pages for /etc/fbackup and /etc/rdump for more a more detailed explanation, since the above information is rather brief.

It seems a much easier solution is just to redefine the command
executed by the icon.  i.e. If you don't like vuepad, redefine it
to be emacs; if you don't like elm replace it with your own
command...  I've yet to succeed in actually getting VUE to
look at anything in my .Xdefaults file.  i.e. My windows still
appear in random locations and default sizes.  (However the
actual applications do execute properly.)

If it hurts, don't do that! :-).  Try this instead:  issue a command
from the sun like "rsh hpname xterm -ls -display hpname:0.0" instead
of logging in remotely via rlogin.  This way, the xterm is actually
running on your HP, not on your SUN.  Works better.

Could this be one for the FAQ?

Subject: cxxdev font question
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 18:55:04 GMT
Organization: Hewlett-Packard NARC Atlanta

I've just started experimenting with HP C++ Developer, and I have
a question that will display my profound ignorance about X.

When I launch cxxdev from an hpterm window, it appears OK except
that it is too small.  It's window is only about 2in x 3in, and the
fonts is maybe a size 8.  These old bifocaled eyeballs sure can't
read it.

I've wrestled with this for a couple of hours.  Where do I put
whatever init command I use to get a bigger window and larger
font?  .mwmrc?  .Xdefaults? .xsession?  

I've RTFM'd, and everthing.  What do you recommend?

thanks in advance
