Subject: Drawing editor running under X-windows?
Date: 5 Oct 92 18:43:28 GMT
Organization: Mail to News Gateway at Wang Labs

Hi,
We need to make a proposal to a big manufacturer.  I'm looking
for a drawing editor ( E-size ) running under X-Windows on a risc machine.
The system will be able to scan E-size format, to modify and make cut & paste
between pages as well as writing on the page in different fonts.
An automatic translator for the text will be available or integrate.
The system will be able to import CAD drawings.
Does anyone know a solution ?

Thank you for your help

Regards
Christian

Subject:      cleanup after installp -A?

I was looking for a particular APAR on an install tape, so I used
SMIT to List All Problems Fixed By Software on Install Media
(installp -A, essentially), and after listing the software and
fixes, it seems that some 'pre-installation processing' was done,
which created/modified some files (even though no install was requested).

We are very tight on space, so this caused our /usr file system to
fill up.  Is there a way we can back track and get our precious little
disk space back?  I tried rejecting applied updates, but got back
the message there are no updates to reject.  The install tape is for
3.2.2, which we want to eventually upgrade to, but only after we buy
more space.

We're running AIX 3.2 on a 320.

Thanks in advance!

From:         Jeanne Ketcham <PC0001@BINGVMB.BITNET>

     We are having a discussion at our location about the best way to
   do installations of DB2 and its associated products (QMF, CSP).
   Currently, the philosophy of our systems group is to install all products
   from a CBIPO tape which would put all products at a set level.

     We do not apply PUT tapes on a regular basis. The idea is "If it ain't
   broke don't fix it". The concern is that by applying PUT tapes, we
   will solve one problem and create another.

      When a problem occurs, IBMLINK is thouroughly searched and we order the
   fixes required. Although this method works, we sometimes spend weeks
   uncovering a problem that is all ready known by IBM.

     We are now inquiring about the methodologies used by other sites. There
   must be a better way of doing installations than the technique we are
   using. But, currently we seem to go around and around in our discussions
   of the optimal way to install and maintain DB2.

As a follow-up to this discussion I would like the query about the possibility
to trap both incoming messages and TCP/IP communications through RXSOCKET.
This I need for my VM NNTP server (if possible) to make the maintenance of the
server a bit nicer (currently a shutdown has to be done by either a FORCE or a
telnet to the server, using a priviledged command, involving authentication
and such ugly things).

Has anyone done something like this?  I understand that in general most progs
which trap UICV are rather selfish in that they do not take (of can take)
notice of other nucleus progs doing the same thing.

Regards,
Kris.

I have written a rexx-program to account for paper usage. One
procedure is running in a seperate VM-machine and is collecting the number
of lines, sender-userid, etc. of files was printed. The other one is not from
me, but adapted of me. The procedure is scheduled to my userid ( for running
in the night) and mount the records from the first procedure to
accounting-records for sending to the VMACCT-machine.
Let me know, if you have interesting for more details.

I don't know about 3rd party VM TCP/IP vendors; however, IBM's offering

I now have another work around.  I log  on to machine A, SET MSG OFF and
SET IMSG OFF and  then SESSION to machine B.  Machine B  is on a logical

The problems might  be associated with our inability to  run PIPEDEMO in

***Red Face*** -- No, the IBM rep is not mistaken.  I spoke without
having my brain online.  (*sigh*)  We have a 3174-11L which has the
Token-Ring attached; however, it is *not* doing TCP/IP it is SNA to
VTAM.  We *do* have TCP/IP over Token-Ring but we do this with a Network
Systems (brand name) box which is channel attached to our IBM ES/9000
and that attachment is controlled by TCP/IP under VM/XA.

To be specific about the TCP/IP connection:  The Token-Ring is bridged
to Ethernet, Ethernet connects to the Network Systems box.

When I responded originally to your question for some reason I was just
thinking, "Sure, we have Token Ring, and the Token Ring is connected to
the 3174, and I TelNet to VM over the Token-Ring, therefore it is done."
The neurons which guard the secret that we have the Token-Ring
connected to the IBM in two places refused to fire.  Sorry for the
mis-information.

I am also posting this to VM-UTIL to correct my misinformation world
wide.  So that everybody on the planet knows that I am a booger eatin'
moron.

Subject:      RS/6000 to VM connection
Comments: To: VM Utilities Discussion List <VM-UTIL@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu>

Hello, I was wondering if anybody out there could help me with a couple of
questions.

1)  Can my 4381 communicate to an RS/6000, through a channel attached 3174,
    over Token Ring, using TCP/IP?
                     ------------

if so....
2)  Are there any 3rd party vendors that supply TCP/IP communication software
    for VM?

We have recently purchased an RS/6000 and would like to do file transfers,
mail, etc, between the two machines.  Unfortunately, we can not afford to
purchase the 3172 (Channel-Ethernet connection), nor can we afford the IBM
cost for the TCP/IP for VM.

If someone knows how to do this, I would appreciate him/her informing me as to
how they accomplished this connection.

I would also appreciate any other thoughts of how we could connect the two
machines (not necessarily TCP/IP).

I thank you in advance.
