I'm trying to debug a program on a Sparc [SunOS4.1.1] using dbx.  I'm
encountering a problem which is driving me crazy, and wondering if
anyone has a solution.

The problem I'm having is accessing a proceedures formal parameters
if they're short's.  

An example:

  shortproc(d1)
      short d1;
  {
      short d2;
      d2 = d1;
      ...
  }

From within dbx, if I access d1 it's value is always shown as 0.  I know
the value is correctly passed, if I check d2 after assignment it's value
is correct.  I tried a cast on the print command in dbx, and printing
out the byte values around what I thought was d1's location.  No luck!

I know this has something to do with the alignment constraints on the
Sparc, dbx works fine on a Sun3.  Anyone know how to access d1's
value?

thanks,

This is a "great UNIX myth."
If it is software, it can be bootlegged.  Period.

The problem is one of connectivity.  It is *so easy* to NFS mount or
ftp software on a UNIX network, that there is almost no work involved
in copying software.  So the "PC Users Groups/Pirate Disk Copying
Groups :-)" have not materialized for UNIX.  What the ISVs have learned
is that if you don't put some sort of network licensing on a product,
then a company will buy a small number of copies and let everyone use
it over the network.  This is by no means a UNIX-only problem.  As PC
networks grow they will see the same effect: corporations will buy fewer
copies of the software and put them on network servers.

The only long term solution for this is network licensing with *reasonable*
fees for multiple simultaneous users.

If the vendor's UNIX software does not support network licensing, don't
buy it.  Or at least flame the vendor for not providing it.

Finally, if you want good software, someone's going to have to pay for it.
Reward and support companies who ship good product.

Humorous Post Script: I'll trade you a bootlegged gnu-emacs 18.55 for a
bootlegged copy of TeX 3.0  :-)

Funny, to me this looks like an argument to printf...

If you read it as such it means that you should give your argument in the

Three ways I've done this are:

	Connect the printer to the Sun, and use one of the "lpr" programs
	on the PC to send files to the Sun for printing.

	Connect the printer to both systems:  Connect the serial port to
	the Sun, and the parallel port to the PC, and switch between the
	ports on the printer front panel.  This works well if one of the
	systems only needs to use the printer occasionally.

	Get an electronic switch box to switch the serial connection between
	the Sun and the PC.  This might need to be done manually - We haven't
	had much success with the "automatic" switches.

Date: 10 Apr 92 23:33:35 GMT
Organization: UMIACS, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742


In the past few weeks, we have experienced serveral times that our
NFS server, an SS-2 running SUN-OS 4.1.1, hangs up. On the console
the kernel prints out error message like:

        mbuf map full
        le0: out of mbuf - packet dropped

It can be solved only by rebooting the system.  Today I have reproduced
the problem. We did not running anyother program after rebooting.  Simply
running the system command:

        netstat -a

several times, the system will hang up as said. The ps command showed that
the status of the netstat command is 'D'.

From this, I think that the problem was caused by a bug, either in the command,
netstat, or in the SUN-OS 4.1.1 kernel.

Is there any bug fix or workaround for the problem ?

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the club.

The H-P QIC drives are NON-standard: they have 16 tracks.  In fact, you'll
note that HP-labelled tapes say "Media already formatted, don't de-gauss."

QIC-11 has 4 tracks.

QIC-24 has 9 tracks

QIC-150 has 18 tracks

HP-QIC has 16 tracks.

The ONLY common tape format that I've been able to identify that works between
current HP-UX systems and anything else is Exabyte 8200.  In fact, that was how
I was able to transfer the X11R5 sources from an HP 9000/845 to my Sun (using
an Exabyte 8200) since my Internet connection is an HP box.

Ethernet also works (but from your comments that doesn't appear to be an
alternative).

While all of the above printers can be connected to the IPX, the IPX is
pretty dumb when it comes to printing plain text on PostScript printers,
like it can't.  In order to do that, you need an ASCII to PostScript filter
of some sort.  The HPLJII will except plain text and print it, since HPPCL
does that just fine.

I personally suggest the SPARCprinter and NeWSprint 2.0.  Yes, the SPARCprinter
is dumb, that is because it is a 400dpi, 8ppm, raster printer.  NeWSprint
does all of the work formatting the output for the printer.  NeWSprint has
filters for PostScript, Sun raster files, ASCII text, etc.  Yes, NeWSprint 2.0
will even support your HPLJII printer.

To use the parallel port on the HP printer will require purchasing the SBus
printer card, which feeds the SPARCprinter and a parallel port.

Keep in mind that the SPARCprinter is a 400dpi, 8ppm, printer.  We have been
very satisfied with the results (especially after NeWSprint 2.0 was done).
It gives great crisp output, beating the HP and LaserWriter all to pieces.

You are right about the toner cartridge though.  I'm not sure what to do about
recycling that thing.

That's what it's supposed to do.  The purpose of the sync command is to
crash the machine.  You usually use it when a machine is hung, so that you
can get a core dump to analyze.  As part of the normal crash processing,
the system tries to sync the local file systems, and that's where the name
comes from; I guess someone at Sun thought that it would be bad PR to name
the command "crash".

It's equivalent to "g 0" in old mode.

Hopefully someone can help me.  

We are trying to set set-up two SPARC 1+ and two SPARC 2 processors on a LAN
inside a mobile vehicle.  We would like to only have two operator positions
(monitor and keyboard, etc) which had console access to any of the four
machines (for redundancy of equipment).  Ideally we would like to set up a four
position keyboard/monitor switch for each operator position to route it to any
processor.  It was brought to our attention that unplugging the keyboard (or
switching it) would send a hardware interrupt, or the like, and halt the
processor, and we want all the processors run at once.  Can anyone suggest a
way to do this by, say, loading the keyboard port somehow?  I am fully aware of
rlogins and the like, as this will be the normal way the system is operated,
but we're also aware that Murphy's Law will cause the processor to which we
aren't attached to toss lunch first.  As a demonstration system, reliability is
Job One.

Any information or help would be appreciated.

The proper place to put key translations for xterm is its X resource
file. The following is an example:

        *VT100.Translations: #override \
                <Key>F1:        string("This is F1 ... ") \n\
                <Key>F2:        string("well now this is F2") string(0x0d)

Put this into the resource file for xterm, or merge it into the
resource manager with

        xrdb -merge keymap-file

See the man page for xterm for details on rebinding keys.

Here are some benchmarks that I found somewhat interesting. It compares
the MIPS 6280 (aka CDC4680) and two Sun systems, the new 670 and a 4/280.
All are single CPU machines, and the benchmarks were done on largely idle
systems.

                  CDC-4680              Sun-670              Sun-4/280
 Sort:              5.4s                 7.1s                  19.1s
 Drystones:          8s                   22s                   56s 
 Sieve:             6.2s                 21.2s                 54.2s

Does anyone know the specific mips/specmark ratings of these three boxes?
I'd like to compare reality with what is advertised, especially the 4680
versus the 670. I'm also quite surprized that CPU-wise the 670 only
comes out slight more than twice as fast as the 5 year old 4/280.
