Organization: Universite de Montreal

Hi, 
  I have just receive a brand new exabyte 8500c (the one with compression). 

  I would like to know if the config is the same as a 8500 and if a can copy the
config of the 8500 in /usr/sysgen/master.d/tpsc to the 8500c. 

  I just heard that you can create device (/dev/rmt/tps??? ) for the different 
MODE SELECT if so how do you do that.

Create a file in /etc/init.d with this line, and make a symbolic
link to /etc/rc2.d/S#name and /etc/rc0.d/K#name. For the K#, you
want it to be fairly high, so  you don't have problems removing
the swap area.  You want a start and stop case, and the stop
case should do a swap -d.

I recommend using /etc/init.d/lp as a model.

I've noticed some interesting behavior regarding movie and it's affect on
available swap space.

When using movie to view a large number of small images (or a small quantity
of large images), I see an understandable increase of "in use" swap pages.
However, when exiting movie, the amount of "free" swap pages does not return
to it's previous value and continues to show a significant amount "in use".

Is this normal behavior?  What's the *best* way to get back the free swap?

Thanks in advance...

Yes, yes..

That's why I said to pick up the 18.59 unexmips.c, in which the strip
problem is fixed..

(In any case, the fix to the strip problem is to insert one line:

  text_section->s_scnptr = 0;

Find a line saying:

  pagesize = getpagesize();

and insert the above line just above it).

Hi all!

I have an Indigo and would like everyone's opinion as to what type of
printer I should get. The requirements are:

    1] The printer should be inexpensive. Speed is not a problem
       since this will be for personal use.

    2] Software support. If the printer is not supported by the
       base operating system, then what software package should
       I get to support the recommended printer. Please include
       the price of the software package.

[I was thinking of something along the lines of a HP DeskJet
500/500c/550c with a postscript cartridge. Is this a good idea?
Software drivers?]

(Please E-Mail. I'll summarize if I get enough demand and/or
responses)

Reply-To: wes@msc.edu
Organization: AHPCRC, Minnesota Supercomputer Center

I am trying to use the .Xdefaults file to specify geometry resources for
the gl application "apanel".  I have read the "GL Resources" man page.
I am running IRIX 4.0.1 on a 4D/35

The man page indicates that the proper resource line should look something
like this:

audioControlPanel.gl.geometry:   +120+80

or

AudioControlPanel.GL.geometry:   +120+80

Neither of these work.  I have tried all the permutations of the above
lines that I can think of.  I have tried using "*"s instead of "."s.  Some
of them are shown below.  Can anyone assist me in finding the correct
incantation to make this resource work?

Thanks.

apanel.gl.geometry:			+120+80
apanel.gl.apanal.geometry:		+120+80
APanel.GL.APanal.geometry:		+120+80
apanel.gl.audioControlPanel.geometry:	+120+80

etc.
etc.

and the whole confusion would reappear after another turn on the handle ...

How about a 4.0.6, certified on all systems? 4.0.{2,3,4} were bad enough;
4.0.5{A,B,C,D,E,F} has been awful. It is high time we had a "reference
release".

And if we must use letters, let's save them for model-specific bugfixes and
increment numbers for real functional enhancements. It seems awfully foolish
to have this nice three-level numbering system and never use it.

We have installed the software that the manufacturer and distributor (PSI) has

I gave it a try on both a 340VGX and an Indigo XS24.  I found that there
were a great deal of modifications I had to make to both source code and to
the makefiles.  One error I counldn't explain is that when compiling in
etc the ymakefile gets translated to xmakefile.  The xmakefile has 3 garbage
lines that sed doesn't catch.  I also found that, as mentioned,
Lucid emacs requires ansi C.  The default for irises in the src/s files is the
flag -cckr-- defintely not ansi.  How can the default configuration in the
distribution not use the required compiler flags???  I had to change the
file src/s/irix3-3.h (which is included by irix4-0.h) so that it used the
-xansi flag.

Anyway, after much trial and error, I finally got it all to compile.  But
there is still one more bug.  For some reason, there is a problem with
signal definitions.  In fact, the macro NSIG is not defined (a serious
problem).  The result is that lemacs, when started, tries to send a signal
to the shell it was run from.  That means it cannot be started in the
background (i.e. emacs&) or from the toolchest.  The workaround for now is to
start it from a shell interactively, hit ^Z to get out to the shell, and
background it.

So to sum up, I don't think this distribution has been tested on the latest
OS release for irises.  It sure looks good when its running, though.

Thanks to all.  I was able to figure it out.  My guess is
that not every system manufactuer agrees as to what ANSI
is all about.  Once the proper header files were found,
everything worked.  (Except that MIPS doesn't support
strcasecmp(), I had to write my own...)

Lesson learned, don't just look at the first header file
which matches your search when porting code to a foreign
system.  Also, never truely beleive man pages on foreign
systems; they lie.

Does anyone know why Jim Clark, President of Silicon Graphics,
cancelled his speaking (panel participant) appointment at the Comdex
computer conference?  He was scheduled to speak about "consumer
technologies" last Tuesday, but he was not there.

Thanks for any info!

Last week I asked about configuring GDB to run on IRIX 4.X.  Several
people pointed out that the iris4 would work, and sure enough it did.
I guess I misread the README - I thought I was supposed to use the
same naming convention as with gcc.  But it doesn't matter any more
because I got gdb 4.7, which does use the naming convention I
expected.

Thanks to:

For pointing me in the right direction.

At the moment I am only fed a limited set of news groups. Is there an easy
way
to access other news groups without the whole site having to?
I used to get some newsgroups by mail at my last job through a listserver
but I lost the info.
Is there any other systems about I can use?
Thanx

None.  They don't exist.  libcps.a was for the NeWS windowing system,
which is no longer in existence.

We never built a G0 version of libsun.a for shipment.

Subject: tape drives for an indigo
Newsgroups: comp.sys.sgi
Organization: University of California, Irvine

We have been thinking about getting a tape drive for our indigo, since we
seem to be unable to read SGI tapes on any drives hooked up to other vendor's
machines.

I have two questions:

1) Will a tape drive bought for an indigo work on other systems? (i.e. suns,
   DEC risc, HP 700s, etc.)
2) What would be the best drive to get, and from which company?


Thanks.
