Hi,

We are thinking of purchasing a sparc10.  Does anyone have
any experience with the sparc10 which they can share with me?
We plan to integrate the sparc10 into a net with sparc1+'s and
sparc2's running SunOS 4.1.1.  WIll there be any problems 
integrating the sparc10 into the net?  will we have to upgrade
the entire net to solaris 1.1?  I should also mention that
there is a sparcprinter on this net, the file server is a
sparc 2, and the disks are wren 7's.  Any pointers to potential
problems will be appreciated.

Thanks
Martin

But wouldn't the -Bstatic flag load the dynamic libraries as if they where
static (i.e. in compile time) ?

I'm looking for people interested in serious testing or just playing with 
a Beta copy of a new product. You must be able to receive a 350K mail 
message.

The product requires OpenWindows 3.
If you have a microphone you can use the voice recognition, if not you 
will have to execute the macros from a menu which can be brought up via 
the keyboard or mouse from within any application.

The product not yet named. It is a port of our application SimonSays on 
the NeXT platform. Well not actually a port since the only thing saved was 
the voice recognition kernel. If you want pricing info send mail to the  
publisher Qualix at info@qualix.com.

Here are the macro capabilities. Any combination of the below.

   1. keyboard strokes.
   2. Mouse events relative the input focus window, screen, or
	windows by name.
   3. Execute shell scripts or executables.
   4. Drag and Drop events
   5. Activating and deactivating applications
   6. Play sounds.
   7. Timed pauses


The voice recognition is a discrete recognizer that is speaker trained.
You say each word a few times to train the recognizer. Command sets are 
dynamically changed to follow the application that owns the window with 
input focus.

Please send me mail if you are interested. Please feel free to forward 
this message to others at your company.

Organization: HP SESD, Fort Collins, CO
Newsgroups: comp.sys.sun.misc

| 
| We recently acquired a few HP workstations 
| and now I have a couple questions.
| I apologize if my questions have been answered
| in this forum before, but I've only recently begun to 
| peruse the HP newsgroup.
| 
| 
| 1) I am unable to get HP clients (e.g.: hpterm or more importantly
|    HP-VUE itself) to display their output
|    on a Sun running OpenWin (version 2 or 3). If I wait long
|    enough, however, the HP developed client eventually pops up
|    a window on the Sun server, and works as advertised.
|    Long enough is usually more then 10 minutes. Unfortunately,
|    HP-VUE itself never comes up, at least not over a 3 day weekend ;-).


   This problem is in the OW3.0 X11/NeWS server and has been reported to Sun.  
   The Sun bug id# is 1076332.

   Tools using the HP Motif 1.1 library hang for 15 minutes when they attempt
   to connect to the server supplied with OpenWindows 3.0.  This problem does 
   not occur with the MIT X11R4 server or the OpenWindows 2.0 X11/NeWS server.
  
   Setting the following resource in the X11/NeWS server will resolve
   this problem:

      <client>*useColorObj: false

   NOTE: This workaround is not supported.  It may cease to prevent the
         problem in the future.

   If the SAIC VUE product is also being used under OpenWindows 3.0, this
   resource may cause the VUE colors to behave incorrectly on any tool for
   which the useColorObj resource was set to "false".  Therefore it is
   recommended that this resource only be set in the OpenWindows 3.0 X11/NeWS
   server and only for those tools which are using the HP Motif1.1 library
   AND are displayed on the OpenWindows 3.0 X11/NeWS server (until Sun
   provides a patch to fix this bug).

FYI:
   You can get VUE running natively on Sun (under the X11/NeWS or MIT servers)
   from SAIC (Science Applications Internaltional Corp) in San Diego CA.

Hi,

I was just wondering if I am the first one to hit upon this (I suspect not).
I was debugging a program that uses lots of file descriptors, which 
started to elicit Bad file number errors for no obvious reasons.

It turned out, the fileno() macro from stdio.h was to blame.  If you do a

	FILE *stream = fopen(....);
	int d = fileno(stream);

and you have used up all file descriptors up to 127, you're screwed.
This is because fileno() returns a char field in the FILE structure.
On systems like Sun where char is signed this results in a negative
integer file descriptor.  To prevent lossage, one has to use

	(unsigned char)fileno(stream)

or explicitly mask the most significant bits off.
The right solution, of course, would be to define the file number field
as unsigned char to begin with.

SunOS, Ultrix and MIPS RISC/os have the same problem, so I suspect it comes
from BSD.  Why has this never been fixed?

Your system is configured for a certain maximum number of processes,
and you've reached that limit.   

Try increasing the value of 'maxusers' in your kernel config file, and then
rebuild your kernel.  If you're using the default kernel from Sun, then
maxusers may be something rather low like 4 or 8.  A more realistic value
would be 64 or so.  Increasing the value of 'maxusers' will make a number of
the kernel's internal data structures larger, including the process table.

If you're not familiar with how to rebuild kernels, and don't have the
"System Administration" binder (which has a good discussion of this), drop
me a line and I'll be glad to go through the details with you.

Subject: getting SIGFPE working right
Organization: Lehman Brothers
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1992 20:37:16 GMT

Hello, all.

This is an odd one. After years of writing C code that never cared a
damn about arithmetic exceptions, I suddenly found myself caring and
vaguely remembered some signal that handled this. A quick look at the
man page for sigvec revealed SIGFPE, which is supposed to catch
floating point and some integer exceptions. So far, so good, only, I
found at first that it didn't work. Some study found the -fnonstd flag
for the compiler (SunOS 4.1.1, standard compiler, by the way) which
seems to make it work for at least some floating point exceptions, and
SIGFPE seems to trigger fine on divide by zero in the integer space.
So far, so good.  Only, I'm still missing one case. Quoting from the
sigvec manpage...

     SPARC codes:[...]
       Integer overflow                   SIGFPE  FPE_INTOVF_TRAP

Only, I can't for the life of me figure out the magic needed to get
the compiler/everything else to actually send me this signal for
integer overflow; I'd presume some special magic is needed as most of
the time no one would care about overflow in C. Sadly, none of this
stuff is properly documented, at least it isn't properly documented
anywhere I've looked. Any clues, folks? And while I'm at it, is
-fnonstd the right way to get SIGFPE to work, and any clue how to get
all this running with gcc?

It would make sense that the dynamic libs should get loaded in
statically but when I link the program dynamically (without the -pg
option) I do not get and unresolved symbols.  If you look at yours
libs you will see that there are two libs one with a *.so.#.# and
*.sa.#.# one is static the other is dynamic.  The linker looks for
appropriate lib based of the -B flag.

If you do this, you lose the ability to use the mouse to edit the
command line. Also if you use xterm you lose the Open Look selection
style. There is no support for secondary selection, drag and drop,
cutting and pasting wide lines, etc.


Another alternative - which will also disable mouse-based editing is
either

	script /dev/nul
or
	rlogin localhost


These two work-arounds are in the manual page.

Or simple changing cmdtool into shelltool with "Disable Scrolling"
But then you lose the scrollbar.

I'm having trouble with the nbdm(3) library functions, specifically
dbm_open() and dbm_fetch().

problem 1, dbm_open():

DBM *db;
char *filespec;
*
*
*
filespec = "some_db_file";
db = dbm_open(filespec,O_CREATE|O_RDWR,S_IRWXU);

This statement leaves me, ostensibly, with a db that I can't dbm_store() to
without getting a BUS error signal.  One work around I use is:

db = dbm_open(filespec,O_CREATE,S_IRWXU);
dbm_close(db);
db = dbm_open(filespec,O_RDWR,S_IRWXU);

Is there a better way?



problem 2, dbm_fetch():

DBM *db
datum db_record, key;
*
*
*
db = some_db_open_func();

key.dptr = DB_REF_KEY;
key.dsize = (int) sizeof(DB_REF_KEY);

db_record = dbm_fetch(db, key);

This statement ALWAYS yields me the SEGV error signal.  (Even when I seed
the DB with makedbm prior to execution.)  Any ideas?

What I really need is better documentation.  Where can I find code samples,
etc?  I've read the BSD source for ndbm(3), and it seems that given THAT
source this code should work.

Please respond by email.

Thank you for any help.

It certainly does work (I've done it) and I suspect it's currently
the only way, as Sun themselves recommend it if you want to run

I think these options are just preprocessor variables, so you could
add such an option yourself and put a macro into conf.c to set up

error:

	input has unsupported colormap type or length
	
Does anyone know if Snapshot produces strange raster, or if there's an
8to1 filter that handles snapshot images?

When I do a "file" on the raster image I get the following, so I know
it's 8-bit deep:

  % file snapshot.rs
  snapshot.rs:    rasterfile, 71x70x8 standard format image

Thanks,
