Virtual memory would be fine, but isn't really needed. Put 16-32MB RAM
in your box and X runs fine for one user :-)
Also not the whole network support is neccessary, if one want to run
clients and the X-server on the same machine. I've done some work
on a socket-emulation based on pipes, which runs under 4.0. I think
it's complete enough for an X with server and client on same machine.

Yeah, X11R5 distribution is about 140MB. Another problem:

The absolute minimum is a monochrom 19" monitor with 1280x1024 dots

The FAQ is still in a transition phase since version 4.0 is still relatively
new.  The keeper of the FAQ just got his copy a little while ago.  If you want
a copy of the interim FAQ, mail me and I can send you one.

Coherent and DOS reside on different partitions.  I have used both Coherent
3.2.1 (for 286 computers if you don't know) and Coherent 4.0.1 (for 386 and
higher computers) with my DOS partition Stacked.  The only problem with this is
the fact that Coherent's ability to read DOS files is voided by using Stacker
(Coherent doesn't know how to uncompress the STACKVOL.DSK file).

I don't find this a problem, however, since all the DOS<->Coherent transfers I
do are from floppies anyways.

The base price for both versions of Coherent is $99.95 +S&H.  With a price like
that, who needs academic pricing?!

I had the same problem when I tried to install the virtterms for my vga-card.
After a few tries, I told the install-program, I have an MDA-card installed.
This solves the problems.

On DOS, I have just BW-screens after booting. If I want to have colors, I
need to type 'mode co80'.

I wrote a one-line script, echo '\007'. It generates a beep, of course, at
least it did from the command line. I did a chmod +x, leaving it
-rwxr-xr-x, owner root. I named it 'test'.

I typed test at the prompt, and nothing happened. I typed sh test, and got
a beep. Then I typed su news test, and got a beep; su news sh test also a
beep.

I chmod ug=rs test. Behavior when root is still the same; now su news test
also produces no beep. su news sh test still beeps.

What is happening here? I was trying to find out why news cannot find a
file that it owns, namely unbatch, even when run from the dir in which it
is located; now this question puzzles me even more.

He is going to send it to me for 30days and if I like I but it for $106.95.
If not I send it back. Thats good for everybode as I  understand it..

Organization: Sydney University Computing Service, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1992 02:11:55 GMT


I could not install 4.0.1 - I got an Error #13 message after typing
"begin". After an initial speady response to a message to MWC (the
problem was a known chip "bug" and I would get replacement disks
to try and fix the problem) I got no answers to further e-mail but
the Australian distributors finally sent V4.0.1a hoping that that
would fix the problem. This version did actually make it all the 
way through the installation but I got a different error message
at the beginning of the install and I also get it every time the
machine is booted:

	CPU Bug: Spurious GP Fault on Iret to Ring 3

As I said, I continued with the installation but got another error
just when I was supposed to re-boot and copy the remaining 5 disks:

	Panic: System GP Fault from Ring 1 - iret

I re-booted and successfully installed the remaining disks. I have
not had much time to spend on it but have noted a few possible problems
to do with sending/rec files with ckermit and dos. However a "Hello
World" program compiled successfully and also ran with no prob's on
SCO ODT1.1 - I will try a more substantial program soon.

If I can iron out remaining glitches I will be quite happy - the
manual is excellent and it is a very nice product and good value
for money (when it has been made to work).

I haven't had any more panics but is possible the ckermit and dos
problems are related to the continuing CPU Bug error? Anyone know?

Some terminal emulators under unix do not allow you to use the com 
ports when you shell out (they keep it and do not pass it to the 
child process).  tip, in particular, requires you to execute the 
command with a special prefix (I'm sorry, but I don't remember which 
character) instead of the standard shell prefix of !.  Some of the 
others have similar faults.  This is documented (sort of) in the 
zmodem docs.

After you get that working, just issue the sz command with the file 
name you wish to send (with wildcards, if necessary) on the other 
end, then issue the special command prefix and an rz without any
parameters.  It works.

And Bob H. at MWC added this:

begin quote
There are only two likely causes of the EAGAIN from the write mentioned:

1.  Writing to a pipe which is temporarily full (10 blocks, 5120 bytes)
and which is configured for non-blocking I/O.

2.  Writing to a clist (any tty device, such as a serial port or system
console) which is temporarily full, when the attached device is configured
for non-blocking I/O.
end quote

This stuff is getting a bit beyond my knowledge level, but I'm willing to 
pursue it. I'm not sure if one can create a pipe (named pipe?) that would
deal with the "temporarily full" problem and debug the source code to
access a new pipe. Can I configure either Taylor UUCP or COHERENT to
resolve this problem? If this does not make sense, then perhaps someone 
could suggest what I could ask next :-) either from MWC or Ian Taylor.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,

David

Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 1992 02:09:51 GMT

I have an account on the University computer system which gives me ftp,
and telnet but I am unable to transfer files to my machine. Some help is 
requested on using kermit or Ckermit to transfer files, either as a stand
alone or when running minicom.

I tried starting Ckermit on the host, told it what file to send, and it 
said to give my Ckermit a RECEIVE command. I shelled out from minicom,
and tried to start Ckermit, but it failed due I guess to the port being busy.

How do I get this to work?

Thanks much,

If you try to exec() a file that has execute permission set, but isn't a

	The name of the script conflicts with a system utility, /bin/test.  Call
it something else (eg. tst) and things should work as you expect.
	The reason it finds /bin/test and runs it instead is because "/bin" is
in your $PATH before "." (the current directory).  You can, of course, change
the ordering of these two paths in $PATH, but it is more secure this way.

	Just one of the many wonderous things about Unix :-)

Does Coherent co-exist OK with DRDOS?

No, but 5.5 has been ported to Coherent and compiles fine under 3.2 or
4.0 as long as you edit conf.h and set the type returned by signal
handlers (int in 3.2, void in 4.0) and the name of the system call
that returns the current directory (getwd in 3.2 and getcwd in 4.0).

You can ftp the Coherent port of 5.5 (including gnu diff) from
/users/grante/rcs on ftp.cs.umn.edu as soon as I get the file
protections fixed.
