Actually, FS encoding isn't "prime proprietary", it was from the very
beginning designed to be an open standard, and some specs were circulated
informally.

The reason it didn't get published is that it wasn't good enough; the
actual coding of the bits was hacked up (in PDNmail 1.6, so that I
could do 2.0 release electronically; I had by that time made 100+ kit
tapes manually on system EN-C06 ;-) We wanted to do FS2, but it never
got released (David Robinson did get it working, just before we all
got the charette fatale for the last time... (is that redundant? never mind.)

FS2 used LZ77/LZJU90 compression, so that the FS encoded file(s) ended
up _smaller_ than the original in most cases.

Does anyone have such?  Respond to rjl@vims.edu and I will summarize.  Thanks.

The building we are in was built in 1790 so to say the least I was a little
concerned about the storm. One window was blown completely out of its frame,
and we had a couple of roof leaks, but that was about it. Amazingly, the power
stayed on throughout, which it never does during storms, although I shut the
Mips down just in case (it just loves power fails). We were lucky, being 1/4 mi
from the Delaware river.

     The  port  number  you specify in your @.env file refers to the TCP
port number, not any physical port number on the terminal  server.   For
instance, a DECServer300 uses TCp ports 2001 to 2016 for incoming calls,
and these can be configured to "talk" to whichever of the 16  ports  you
wish. 

     So  you will need to look at your terminal server documentation and
see how you can "map" a TCP port to your parallel port,  then  use  that
TCP port number in the @.env file.

that   the  process  which  passes  the  soacket  (ie.   the  caller  of

a) is *any* condition signalled?

b) if so, is this condition name correct.  The socket libraries

Info-Primers:

The National Prime Users Group has focused the 1993 NPUG Conference on getting
the most out of your 50 series systems plus covering the whole spectrum of
conversion issues off 50 series.

NPUG is looking for users interested in giving talks at the conference.   
Giving a talk at NPUG gives you reduced conference fees, professional
recognition, speaking experience, published work, and a lot more. If you are
currently on Prime equipment, the conference itself is very important--giving
{you the hands-on face to face interaction that no list can ever provide. It's
worth it to attend, and very worthwhile to speak.

Some general topic areas to consider are:

Squeezing the most performance out of your current 50 Series platform
Prime INFORMATION techniques and experiences
Description of a particular method, tool, etc. you have created
Conversion experiences
Mixed system environments 
Integration of ms windows
open systems observations
networking
Performance tuning: PRIMOS and Unix
PI/open, uv, UniData porting experiences

These are just suggestions, other ideas are welcome.

Abstracts need to be in by the end of the year.  If you need an Abstract
Submittal Form, either in electronic form or hardcopy form, contact either
Denise Buttrey at (213)740-5329 or E-Mail at
D.BUTTREY@MD-B.PRIME.COM or Roland Kittredge at (508)620-2800 x4666 or

Hi folks:

I went to a "customer day" at Prime yesterday (I'm sticking with "Prime"
until I see the same new name twice).  They talked about several
conversion offerings coming that I thought were pretty interesting:

MAGRST for Unix, to read Primos MAGSAV tapes

SPOOLER/Open, the Primos spooler for Unix

BATCH/Open, the Primos batch system for Unix

Plus a number of other things I wasn't as interested in, such as
COBOL and FORTRAN converters, Primos subroutine libraries for Unix,
etc.  Many of these are third-party products.

They also reported a two-year target for object code compatibility
between uniVerse and PI/Open, and "New/Look" for PI/Open next year.

Sounds like the system isn't recognizing the drive.  it may not be configured.
Go into SMIT and congfigure the drive.  If it was an incompatable tape (differ- ent os) you wouldn't get a "drive not found" error you would get a tar error.

Roland,

Do mind if I take you up on your offer to make a copy of KERMIT on a tape
cartridge if I supply the cartridge???

I would truly appreciate it!

Come on Barry, it was quite interesting I thought. 'Us Brits' are obsessed
with the weather with things like, "Hmmm, it's a wee bit windy today don't
you think old chap". Whereas they're discussing having 7 foot snow drifts,
ice storms and windows blown out, much more interesting.

Roy.
