It sounds like a ulimit problem.  Check the FAQ for this group.  There
should a procedure for increasing the ulimit explained in one of the 
System Admin manuals.

Can you create any big files; like greater than 2 MB?  That's the default
ulimit.

Also check /etc/defaults/login for a ULIMIT line.  That sets the default 
for login sessions (but it can't be bigger than the kernel limit).

First, please don't post to the obsolete group comp.unix.sysv386.
I had to change my active file just to be able to respond to you.
Of course, I'm perpetuating this by responding here.

Your message didn't make clear whether or not you are using the ISC
menu-driven backup to access the tape. When I did, I also had speed
problems with my SCSI tape.

I followed the shell scripts down to the actual cpio instruction that
they used. This cpio didn't have a buffer size specified. I found that
if I added/changed the appropriate line toward the top of the
	/usr/admin/menu/filemgmt/backup
script to
	ncpioargs=-C262144
that my tape began streaming quite nicely. (I'm not sure about the
syntax of the 'spaces' in this line. I'm working off my paper notes,
and have since upgraded my ISC versions.)

Other hints: You want to make sure you haven't starved the SCSI controller
by screwing with the DMA on/off times. Also, as someone else has pointed
out, you may need to change jumpers on your tape drive. I have an Archive
2150S and the factory jumper settings worked.

Or take the $$$ that is required for the development systems and put
it towards a complete release of Unix from another vendor which includes

And that will keep it going :-(.

Bohdran shouldn't have had to change his active group if his
active file had 

comp.unix.sysv386 ???????? ????????? =comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit

And Larry wouldn't have had to worry about the postings to that
as they would automatically be put in ....-32bit if he the
active file set up that way.

Or in B News uses the aliases!

This is being responded to in comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit because
that's where my active file says that comp.unix.sysv386
belongs.

Let me guess Larry from which complete release your are speeking. No, this

It works.  However, it only works in 8500 mode (there is no way to 
configure it to write an 8200 compatible tape, although it can read
the 8200 tapes fine).

Announcing a free libc for SCO XENIX.

I have just completed the alpha test version of a BSD based free libc for
xenix.  So far I have managed to get perl to pass its regression
tests.  The libary is reasonably complete but untested except for building
perl.  Combined with either my port or the SCO UNIX versions of GCC, GCB and
GAS produces a free dev sys.  I have still to tidy up the directories and
build scripts form release.  For the time being I am looking for people
willing to do alpha testing.  If you are interested please email me.

Those interested in SCO UNIX / ODT may also be interested as the XENIX
libc is compatible with the UNIX product.  The UNIX / ODT specific system
calls will however be missing (thoy shouldn't be to difficult to add).

We recently purchased the Workstation Developers Kit for ISC UNIX 3.0.  They

the problem.  I would like to get some of the FSF software (GCC, EMACS, etc.)

that they gave us barfs when it I try to uncompress large files - it says
the file is "too big".  Can someone please tell me where I can find the source

they keep refusing to work also, giving me error messages that say things

You have to have the NSE6.2 (Network Service Extensions). These

You may buy a X11R4 from Motorola ..... Or you buy yourself a 
brand new workstation .. works and is by far cheaper ;-<<<<<<<<<

Serious:
1) A running GCC (presumably 2.3.3, its underway. Eikil and I do it)
	required for xmkmf and other tools.  "cc" will not do it.

2) LOTS of disk space.

a) latest GNU-make to be able to execute the generated Makefiles,
	"make" by Motorola is definitely broken. 
b1) GNU-Emacs to have a comfortable environment.
b2) a working debugger --- we made a GDB-3.5 for sysV68R6.2
c) an output device (Xserver). 
	You may buy a MVME390 - MVME393, but these cost more 
	than 2 small Sparcs ;-<<<<<<<<<

You have to buy the NSE anyway, indepenent of actual revision number. 
Network support is _NOT_ part of BOS (Basic Operating System).

SysV68R7.[01] seems to have an unbelievable bug concerning signal
handling and debugging. Watch my post.

Gnu C++ (GCC) comes with system libraries. The problem is the
X-libraries. Has anybody (other than SCO who wants you to pay for
them) compiled them on SCO UNIX? Are there any good free widget sets
available on SCO UNIX?

And people will continue to post to it until it gets dropped by most
sites.  I'm fairly sure that UUNET has dropped it already, which means
that if you post an article to comp.unix.sysv386 it will probably not
make it to 50% of Usenet.

We had GDB-3.5 up and running for 2 years under R[456]..x, 
converting to R7.x exhibited following behaviour:

Unchanged GDB-3.5, compiled under R6.2 and working, stopped itself
debugging a program telling "Aborted by SIGILL at 0xffffffff
[SIG_DEFAULT]", if target hits a break point.

ptrace interface of GDB changed to SIGTRAP as proposed in the NEW man
pages of R7.0, yields same behaviour as above, SIGILL just changed to
SIGTRAP.

Might there be a problem, that signals sent to the target, are
also delivered to the debugger?  

Up to now my impression was, that the kernel just has to return the 
debugger from its "wait" call and pass the waitstatus including signal
number of ptraced child as a return value to the debugger.

Were there massive changes regarding kernel interface between 
R6.2 and R7.[01] ?

I guess that it's a Solbourne patch in dopackage format.

Try using 'expect', a tool written by Don Libes at NIST.  Very useful in
general, and can solve this problem neatly.  Here's an example expect script
from the source distribution that could do what you want:

#!../expect -f
# wrapper to make passwd(1) be non-interactive
# username is passed as 1st arg, passwd as 2nd
set password [lindex $argv 2]
spawn passwd [lindex $argv 1]
expect {*password:}
send "$password\r"
expect {*password:}
send "$password\r"
expect eof

You can pick up expect by anonymous ftp from durer.cme.nist.gov:/pub/expect
