They should be able to share them at least via NFS.  Since it is
a SCSI drive then you should be able to physically pick it up and move
it from the HP to the SGI.  Isn't that what SCSI is all about?

I'm sharing an CD rom drive between HP 730's (Risc) and HP 370's (Cisc)
via NFS with no problem

I'm writing 4mm DAT tapes on my Indigo, and reading them on HP's.
To get them to read on the HP, I have to set the blocksize to 256k
manually, since that is apparently the default blocksize for the
SGI, but the HP is something else.  I would rather force the blocksize
on the SGI side, allowing the HP to read the tapes more easily.  So,
what is the default blocksize for HP DAT tapes ?

SGI:

tar cvf - MYFILE | dd of=/dev/tape bs=?????

HP:

tar xvf /dev/rmt/0mn

When I see a message like that, I assume there is some sort of an error.  We
users out here are typically very new to HP when we have to upgrade the license
count.  A message like this says "Watch out!!! something is wrong.

A more usefull message would be

NOTE.  It appears that you are upgrading the license count for your system.  If
so just continue.  If you don't wish to do this, please exit.

i.e. don't give out warning messages for what should be the normal operation.

	Hello !

 You have as well 2 solutions from HP: 

1) so called 'viper' card - kind of one board HP computer, to plug in
into PC. Advantage: 100 % compatible, real 2 task computer, runs as well
on low-end PC.

2) Basic for WINDOWS: emulate most of HP-BASIC under MS-windows 3.1
Pretty good, but: NOT 100 % HP-Basic (although only rarely used keywords
missing), performance problem: use high-end PC ! ( + HP-IB card from
HP). Keeps multitasking inherent in MS-Windows and DDE (data exchange)
what may be useful.

The second solution is clearly long-term run strategy.
You can have a demo version of the Basic for WINDOWS from HP.

I never work with Trans-Era product, sorry !

Good luck !
Andrew.

Organization: Tampere Univ. of Technology, Finland.
Distribution: comp
Date: 28 Aug 92 14:42:11



There seems to be some problems with real-time system calls with
HP9000/300 series workstations. The appended simple program tries
to lock itself into the memory using datalock() call. 

Results: 
9000/43T system crash (HP-UX  B.08.00 A 9000/43T ) (i.e upgraded to 68040)
9000/340 system crash (HP-UX  B.08.00 A 9000/340 )
9000/720           OK (HP-UX  A.08.07 A 9000/720 )

The locking using plock() system call works on both platfroms.
Have anybody notice this or any other real-time specific  problems? 
Can this be fixed ?

The basic problem is that HP-UX by default will not let lockf(2) lock a
file opened in read-only mode (see the "lockf" man page).

I have had success with each of these two solutions:

	1) Use LOCK_STYLE FCNTL
or
	2) As root (before starting "inn") run "/etc/setprivgrp news
	   LOCKRDONLY" (where "news" is the group ID for the "news"
	   user).

The NDIS driver for the 27245A card is available on OS/2 v1.x.  No
version is available for OS/2 v2.0.

If you have access to HPNN, the archive reference number is L0003787.
If you have access to CompuServe, then the file name is 27245.EXE and
it's in the HPSYS forum in the Network Library.  You'll need to execute
the file with the "/x" option to preserve the directory structures as
the file self-extracts.

The best thing for you to do is contact your local HP representatives in
Singapore.  (We have a representative from Singapore working with us
this week.)  They can get you the file(s).

You might want to consider creating a "console" hpterm window, as in:

hpterm -C -name console

The -C option tells hpterm to become the console, the -name option is just
to let you know which hpterm is the console.  Then, any console messages 
will be sent to that hpterm window instead of the "real" console device.
This is fairly standard practice around here.

By the way, for this work properly your /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles file should
look something like this (that last line containing the "*" is what's 
important, the rest is just comments):

# This file controls which displays on the local system are allowed to
# redirect input and output from the system console, /dev/console.
#
# Refer to the hpterm(1) manual page for more information.
#
# The "*" allows all local displays to redirect console information.
*

Hope this helps!

If you're talking about device swap only, and not file system swap, yes.
You need to rebuild the file system (if on a 300/400/700) to be larger
and the swap area to be smaller, or rearrange the partitions on the disk
(if on an 800).  There's no clean way to do this without rebuilding the
disk.

Most likely the problem is that the LJII is interpreting the file as a

I've gone through the VUE sysadmin manual, made sure that spcd is

an /etc/X0.hosts and an /usr/adm/inetd.sec file.  I've done every

	You forgot the options of lp: -oraw -onb. Therefore full line which
works:
	xwd | xpr -device ljet | lp -oraw -onb -dYour_printer

Have fun !

I am having problems using tcsh 6.01.00 on an HP 9000/720 using hpux
8.07.  The problem is related to the term shell variable and /etc/termcap.

When I log in to the HP from a Sun (telnet, rlogin) tcsh locks up when the
term variable is "sun-cmd".  It does not lock up if term is "sun".  When I
say "locks up" I mean that I do not get a command prompt and am also not able
to 'intr' (control-C) or suspend the process from the keyboard.

I have already placed the termcap entries for "sun" and "sun-cmd" in the
HP's /etc/termcap.  

Any hints or suggestions?

Peace,
