You could try the BYTE UNIX benchmarks...tests a bunch of things...
I've seen comparisons of several systems (from IBM RS/6000 550 to 
a 486/33 clone) and the ranking *seems* to be pretty reasonable.

Well, this is not too surprising to me. You must consider that a 4/260 is a
first generation sparc and these machines were somewhere in the 7-10 mips/
vups/whateverthatmeans range.
But thanks for the benchmark data anyway. Interesting comparison.

Last IGUG in the presentation on the the forth coming license server, 
a lot of flexibility was promised.  It was said that the license server
would be giving warnings only for the first year, for instance.  I've
just received a noticed dated 3/23/92 to 'Dear Intergraph Customer'.
The decription of the license server system in this document is much
more restrictive and complex than what was presented at IGUG.

	Now we'll have 60 days grace period not 1 year.  Now we'll have
	to worry about;
	
	whether we've got a 2, 8, 16, or unlimited user license;  
	
	whether we have a product with a floating license or one tied to

	getting temporary keys when 'node-locked' license must be moved
	to another machine due to a failure;
	
	getting temporary keys when the license server goes down;
	
	extra administration of license servers. 
	
Plus we will be forced to use the new release that adds all this
overhead (6.0).

With this kind of customer abuse Ingr wouldn't remain number one in
customer satisfaction!

I wasn't impressed with Uniplex.  What I hear from a visiting Ingr VP
was that Ingr was about to make a deal with an intergrated wp, spread
sheet, and raster editor that could cut and paste between the group (the
implication was that these could cut and paste between Ingr apps like
MicroStation.)

Tom Denbo wants to know if we're about to standardize on OA sw.
Well the best I've seen on-campus so far is Uniplex.  It does both
alpha and X, and offers calendar management, too.  It is NOT wysiwyg
in this version, is supposed to be later-on.  However, it uses pure
ASCII files with or without "dot" commands and ruler lines, and
does reasonable graphics (mixes with text, etc.) plus the usual OA
functions.  QA uses it--costs money but like I say it's the best we
could find.  The demo version is free, and you may be able to
evaluate it that way.  Load from CD.

	Seems reasonable.  My active-file carries 104 groups, `list
uunews: dirs' shows 131 directories.  `du -s uunews:' says 11381
blocks.  That is an overhead about 0.23%.

	There's no `another block'.  Each directory needs 1 block itself,
wheter it contains 1 file(/directory/link) or 2000.

It is a feature.  The way Getty handles locking of the serial port was
significantly enhanced for 1.15, making it much more reliable (no more hung
serial ports on an A2232, for instance).  Programs that don't know about the
way Getty locks the serial port have to be started with LockSerial.
Alternatively, they can support OwnDevUnit.library (such as the new version
of VLT does, as well as Term 2.0) and will be able to work with 1) modified
Getties that I have posted in the past that use OwnDevUnit.library and 2)
future releases of Getty as Matt has agreed to incorporate my changes into
the master distribution.  I just recently installed these changes for him and
sent him the modified source code.  Programs that support OwnDevUnit.library
do not need LockSerial to work properly with those that sit on the serial
port (such as Getty and Welmat).

>You either make a script that calls lockserial or you type the

The problem with this in the past has been that NComm always detached from
its caller.  Now, I'll skip my usual spewl over how programs that do this are
just plain broken and should be abolished from the Amiga, as I tend to get
rather heated about it.  Anyway, because NComm would detach, LockSerial
effectively thought that NComm had run and then quit right away and would
release the lock on the serial device.  Getty would think that the port was
again free and try to OpenDevice() it again.  Only NComm had OpenDevice()d it
already so Getty couldn't and Getty would panic and quit.  I don't know if
the author of NComm fixed his program with whatever the new release he put
out a few weeks ago was (I've never actually looked at NComm, myself).

I just though of something, does your one-time conversion program handle systems

It doesn't matter what format they are stored in as far as DLG is concerned
because DLG uses logical assigns to the proper area to make importation
much easier to deal with regardless of which method is used. I do believe a

Don't know about owndevunit, but NComm 2.0 supports the normal "lockserial"
locking. You cannot use "lockserial ncomm" though, as it detaches from
the CLI automatically, but there is a menu option which will handle that.
Just kill getty, set the menu option in NComm, save the configuration and then
it will work.

Whose logfile? What you are running? I can't find that string anywhere in the
standard 1.15 sources or headers...

What is in YOUR uulib:Passwd file? What is your/his uucico command? Can you
(and/or he) run uucico at a higher debug level to get some more specific data?
Have you tried a standard V1.15 uucico?
