Subject: How to turn off Optimization?
Date: 20 Aug 92 17:47:40 GMT
Organization: Apple Computer, Inc.

Hi there ;

I have a simple makefile which has 

CC= cc
INCLUDE= -I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/video/vli/include
LIBS= -lvli -lm -lgl_s
SHELL = /bin/sh
CFLAGS = -DSTRINGS_ALIGNED -DNO_ISDIR -D_NO_PROTO -DUSE_RECOMP \
-DUSE_GETWD -DNO_REGEX -DR4_INTRINSICS 

SRC= source1.c source2.c
OBJECTS= source1.o source2.o
TARGET = a.out

$(TARGET) : $(OBJECTS)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $@ $(LIBS)

however, when I type "make a.out", make somehow puts in a "-j" when compiling:
    
    cc -DSTRINGS_ALIGNED -DNO_ISDIR -D_NO_PROTO -DUSE_RECOMP -DUSE_GETWD 
   -DNO_REGEX -DR4_INTRINSICS -j source1.c

then, after it makes the .u file:

    cc -DSTRINGS_ALIGNED -DNO_ISDIR -D_NO_PROTO -DUSE_RECOMP -DUSE_GETWD 
   -DNO_REGEX -DR4_INTRINSICS -c source1.u

I haven't been able to determine why this is happening. If someone knows of 
"make" defaults or if I'm doing something or not doing something, please let 
me know as I need to shut off the optimization so I can use casevision.

thanks

By the way, this should not be happening.  Do you have a simple test
case that can make it happen?

Can the digital audio output jacks on an Indigo be used to record 
Backup-files onto DAT tapes ? This would be a great kludge in connection
with a portable DAT player, because one could carry one's software library
around in a DAT and have the player handy to ensure everyone can read it.

Some of the general purpose music synthesis packages will run on the
Indigo and generate sound files which (possibly needing format
modification - the programs to do that are available, I think) can
be played back through the Indigo's D/A converters.

csound from M.I.T. and cmix from Princeton can be obtained over
the net.  I think that csound has been tested out on the Indigo by
M.I.T.people.

I think there is an interface between csound and Stanford's
Common Music synthesis program.  You would have to find out about
whether it interfaces with whatever version of LISP is available for
an Indigo.  People at CCRMA (at Stanford) should know.  If you
try it, let me know what happens.

Ed is right, but you can get a IIF or IIG to work pretty well. You
MUST turn PhotoGrade off to prevent clipping the edges of the printed

I just bluntly added some names to the aliases. This way the named knows
about the things you'd want different for the domain it serves.
I even include short names for external full domain names, and now
our users can call them by their short name

Especially since using -h -h hostent_bind forgoes the /etc/hosts.

Organization: The Internet

In the August 31, 1992 issue of Open Systems Today there is an
interview with Lew Platt, HP's president-elect.  Quoting from the
article:

     Platt said HP, under certain circumstances, would
     willingly incorporate industry-standard software from
     Microsoft and even IBM into its products.  Regarding
     NT, Platt said HP would wait to see how the product is
     received in the market before deciding whether it would
     be beneficial to have NT running on PA-RISC.  If NT
     gains market share, "there is nothing whatsoever that
     would prevent us from porting that OS to our platform
     and we've already had discussions with Microsoft about
     this," said Platt.

     Platt also said that HP would consider incorporating
     into its own products, technologies that emanate from
     Taligent, the joint IBM-Apple object-oriented
     programming project.

     HP, for its part, is trying to make its PA-RISC
     architecture more prevalent in the industry by
     licensing it to vendors HP does not view as
     competitors.  One such company, Platt said, is Next,
     which is currently looking for a RISC technology on
     which to base its computers.  But Platt declined to say
     whether there had been any direct negotiations with
     Next.  Next also declined comment.

Guess that means that they are talking but they haven't come to
an aggreement on anything except not telling the press that they
are talking.

Sounds like llbd (now called rpcd at SR10.4) is NOT running ON the
machine you are trying to run prmgr on.  Whenever you use an NCS based
application (like rgyd, or prmgr) you need to run llbd on the *same*
node so that it can communicate with the glbd (which can be on the
same node or another).  Likewise, for glbd to communicate with the
network correctly, you need to run llbd alongside glbd.

lb_admin doesn't require llbd (rpcd) to be running locally to talk

No call, but an eventcount, smd_$input_ec (whose ordinal value is 0)
This eventcount is advanced whenever an input event is received.
It may also be advanced at some other times but those times are rare.

Under the DM and Xapollo the following events will unblank the
screen: (I don't know about Xdomain)

1) Keyboard/mouse input
2) Window reconfiguration, i.e. create, delete, move, resize, etc. 
   (Graphical output to a window will NOT unblank the screen.)
3) Program call to gpr_$video_ctl();

So, perhaps the app your running in the full screen window is calling
gpr_$video_ctl.  Does it happen if your grow an ordianry  DM pad to full 
screen?

Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1992 21:19:13 GMT

I was wondering if anyone had come up with a creative kludge to get
slip to work via a telnet connection on an apollo (specifically, on
a 4500 with SR 10.4) since it only works with tty01, it would have
to be both a hardware/software kludge. i suppose a null modem could
be hooked between tty01 and tt02 or tty03. someone logged into
the machine could then start a program to send input to tty02 (and
therefore back to the slip on tty01) and also send info coming in on
tty02 (from slip really) back out to stdout. i assume this would be 
fairly trivial to write, at least for low baud speeds (2400 or less)
if someone could tell me about one, or give me some ideas about how
to do this in unix i'd appreciate it. (i've done wiered things on a
dos box to do something similar, but i could just write direct to the
hardware ports then...)

Date: 3 Sep 92 16:12:42 GMT
Organization: The Internet


Hello Folks,
I recently moved away from using a .5MB /etc/hosts file, and
started using nmconfig -h hostent_bind.  Now my /etc/hosts file 
is less than 120 lines, and I'm using 4 nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf.
The first one is 127.0.0.1, and the rest are local campus nameservers.

I can't seem to get processes like telnet, mail, ftp etc......
to look at the local /etc/hosts file first.  When I mail or telnet
to the address I get the error:  unknown host.  When I grep the /etc/hosts
file for that address, sure enough it is there.  

Should I have someone add this address to the campus nameserver?
Or is there a way to look at the /etc/hosts file before going out
over the net?

I should add that using nmconfig works great for common addresses,
but that a few uncommon addresses that I have in /etc/hosts just
don't connect.

Thanks,
Austin Conaty

PS  /sys/node_data/etc/daemons looks like this:

Good for you!

Can't be done on HP/Apollos.  On Domain/OS, the nmconfig is an either/or
type switch.  Either you get the name-server, or the /etc/hosts, but not
both never noway nohow.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

My apollo screen is generally turned-off when there is no user input 
for some period of time. This is a desirable feature, which protects
the screen from being burnt.

However, in some cases the screen is not turned off even if there is
no user input for hours. In particular, This happens when there is one 
window which covers all the screen.

What are the conditions which enable / disable automatic screen turn-off?
