The problem is that pax, cpio, tar and v7tar distributed with 4.0 still
are 286 binarys, which have the 64KB segment limit. This is not enough
to work on your entire drive. There are three possible solutions:

1. ask for 386 binarys at MWC
2. get GNU tar ported to Coherent 4.0 and use this
3. do not tar the entire disk, tar single directory hirarchys to disks

At a guess (my coherent and manuals are at home!), I would say that
you will need to modify the keyboard driver in /conf/kbd/<country>.c
Have a look at the file, and the Lexicon entry for kbd. I think they
explain things fairly well. In your case the relevant file is probably
/conf/kbd/usa.c. Don't forget to make a backup before you change it
:-)

Hi:
	I also found that getwd() needs to be defined as _getwd().
This is pretty annoying, and caused me a bit of trouble. The manual
should state why this is going on; is it because these calls are
obsolete? Or is the library fouled up and a *fixed* version is in
the works?

I had a bear of a problem trying to install Coherent on ONE 200 meg partition.
I split the partition up, and it worked fine. . .  Don't have enough info on
your problem to know if that would help.  Just thought I'd toss it out.

  Jerry,

   Have you tried to use the fnkey function in your .profile?

   I have my F3 key setup to start up ELM and my F2 to cd #HOME...

   Syntax is:  fnkey  3 'elm'

  Hope this helps...

#! is not yet supported under Coherent (any version). We plan to have

I doubt it's due to the 16550, I suspect it's a port conflict being caused by
the new serial card. How many com ports does the new card have, and have you
disabled any unused ones? What other serial ports are in your machine?

Also on my system.
It is a plain vanilla 386sx, with an 170 Mb Imprimis IDE drive.
Both have a 800~900 Kb/sec (from Coretest under Ms-Dos) peak
transfer rate, with an average of 30 Kb/sec (from a Turbo-Pascal
test program that read&write 2048 512 bytes buffers).

I've ran Iozone under Coherent 4.0.1, and the performance was about
30~70 Kb/sec.
I'm rather disappointed, because Coherent use 900 buffers (450 Kb,
I suppose) for disk caching, and it was several times slower than
any unix machine I use at work.

Ok, I not want the 2 Mb/sec sustained performance of the
HP9000/7xx, but a 200~300 kb/sec on an idle machine was that I
expected from my hardware.

There is some kernel tuning to perform?
If MWC tell us what kernel variable are involved, some people can
try some benchmarking (me too).

You could always use:

	) & )

Which should have the same effect (but spawn a few processes at first).

Actually, elmman.tar.Z has been there for a while (a week) but it is still in
the /pub/coherent/incoming32 directory.  I guess Jay has been busy and has not
had time to move the files into the sources32 directory.

The only to set timeouts for short times is to use poll() simply poll()
/dev/null with a short timeout. We have some bugs and are working on them.

Wnews release 3.10 is ready. This release can be used under Coherent 3.x
and 4.0 (both tested). It comes with *working* install scripts and
(hopefully) readable manuals, which can be formatted under Coherent.
All know bugs are fixed, this source distribution should be installable
also by a novice, if she/he is willing to read the README file.

Today I mailed it to three other users for beta testing. If they don't
have problems to get it up and running I'll made the distribution
available on raven and MWCBBS in a few days. If someone must have it
yesterday :-) please let me know and I'll mail it.

I'm willing to give support for this distribution via mail/news. Also
I would like to act as an 'clearing office' to coordinate future
development on this package under Coherent.

The folks who stated that they want to pay for a running news package
under Coherent should beginn to search their checkbook :-) :-) :-)

That may be true, I guess, depending on the size of the disk partition.
My root partition is rather small, at 18 meg.  It does, however, backup
correctly via cpio.  My /tmp file is pointing to my ramdisk (as some
sharp user once suggested!), which is about 2 meg.  I haven't had any
problems with that mentioned above at all.
