I am having a problem trying to decipher an error message while printing
on a SparcPrinter running Newsprint 1.0.  While things were working fine
with the software on the 1+ connected to the SparcPrinter, it was necessary
to reload the OS and print software.  Since then I have not had much success
in trying to coax the machine to print.  

I would very much appreciate any suggestions as to where to look for a  
solution.  I'm not a frequenter of this newsgroup, so please send replies  
directly to me.

Does anyone know how to change the timezone that a Sun3 thinks it is
in ?

I ask becasue our cluster of Sun 3/60s has been built with Western European
Time, rather than GB-Eire, which is fine for most of the year, except when
Western Europe goes into daylight saving time ahead of the UK and our clocks
go an hour out for a couple of weeks.

I've checked the documentation and the only reference to timezones there
seems to imply that its chosen at system build time, I'd rather not have
to re-install SunOs from tape just to fix this silly bug.

advTHANKSance

Swap partitions are better than swap files because paging i/o doesn't
go through the file system.  We only use swap files in acute cases of
lack of swap space, and replace them with larger/more swap partitions
in the long term.

You can also have swap partitions on multiple drives - just put
additional "swap" entries into /etc/fstab.  It is *not* recommended to
have multiple swap partitions on the same physical drive for
performance reasons.

I've writen a real kludge that checks on the sever

Organization: University of Strathclyde

I am writing a package on a SPARC IPC using SunOS 4.1.2.

The package performs transforms on data array. The transforms require intermediate
storage and as I do not know the length of the arrays before run-time, I use
MALLOC to generate these intermediate arrays.

One particular transform requires about 10 extra arrays which it mallocs with -
no problem. It performs the transform working with all these arrays. However,
when I FREE the last declared array, SunOS complains that valid memory does not
exist at that address. I check that the array contains the correct values using
DBX.

Has anyone an idea as to why I would have this problem.

Thanx for your attention

You haven't tried ``zic -l GB-Eire'', as Guy suggested.

they will send out a character sequence to my favorite terminal windows

The Oct 12 1992 issue of PC Week has some info on this (page 25)
Sun-TI CPU.

- runs at 50 MHz.

- Sun is expected to have a system based on this < $4000
  all the other SPARC vendors will be using it too

- .8 million transistors, upto 128M of system RAM, upto 5 Sbus slots

- $179 each in qtys of 1e4.  (486 is $502 in qtys of 1e3).

- To build a workstation around this all you need is RAM, crystal and
  peripherals.

- 5 volt,  2k data cache, 4k instruction cache.
  (so, to build a workstation, presumably you need external caches too
   :-)).

- ~ 20-23 specint92 and 15-18 specfp92
  (ELC is 18.2 specint92 and 17.9 specfp92)

The last point is where I was shocked.  This is going to be a
20% gain over a ELC???   Is it an error?

This problem did not occur in Sun OS 4.1.1.

What is this symbol, and why does it not resolve in 4.1.2?

I take it "ld" knows about __GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, because the string

On SunOS 4.0.3 the vi is the old berkeley version that use /etc/termcap
for the terminal characteristics.
Since SUNOS 4.1 or 4.1.1 ( I don't know exactly), the vi is the
System V version, that uses /usr/lib/terminfo/xx descriptions.

So you need to add a description of this terminal to this database.
The commands to help you , are "tic", "infocmp" and read the manual
page of "terminfo".

A researcher here has expressed interest in getting a SS10.  I 
grabbed  a couple of brochures the sun salesperson gave me, and 
gave it to him, but he noticed that nowhere in the brochure is
any mention of the actual performance of the SS10, for any model.
Hmmm...   

I managed to dig up DECstation5000 numbers from a file on
gatekeeper.dec.com, as well as find an article posted from someone at
ibm.com to comp.unix.aix giving RS6000 spec numbers, but none from
sun.  I checked ftp.uu.net, and several other places (sun.com, which
doesn't have an ftp server).  Found bunches of interesting
papers, but no benchmarks.   I noticed that the SPEC numbers
are posted semi-regularly for IBM products to comp.unix.aix; 
that would be nice here, too.

So, anyone have the latest numbers for the sun line of products?
Anyone know of a recent article I could look at doing a broad 
comparison of workstations?  Online tech-report?  Anything
involving SPECmarks?

The answer, from Matt Goheen (uunet!wbst845e.xerox.com!matt):

The problem isn't bar, it's a hardware limitation on the current
implementation of QIC drives.  The problem is that these drives
erase the tape in one pass while writing the first track.  This
means that you cannot update a file in the middle of the tape
w/o erasing all of the other tape tracks.

Thanks to Matt and all those who responed to original posting.

As for the 1.2 GB 3M tapes, a representative whom I called said
they were still testing that format, and that IBM is the only vendor
committed to building a drive compatible with both the new format
and the older QIC-150 and QIC-24 formats.  Oh, well.

Thanks for all your help,

Can someone tell me the precise difference between the compiler-driver
flags -Qpath and -Qdir?

I.e., exactly which files are searched for in each specified directory?

And is this consistent between the cc and CC compiler drivers?

I've read the man pages, but they're not very specific.

Thanks,
