Hello Hans,
it is very easy to get PVM.
You should mail to netlib@ornl.gov specifying in the text
		send index from pvm.
In a while you'll receive all the information you need to have it.
They are sending PVM 2.4.1 that works fine on RS6000 AIX3.2.
Furthermore in the same way you can also get HeNCE, if you're interested.

Ciao Gigi

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get around this problem, short of

In AIX 3.1.5 there was a similar problem. The loader tried to load the same
 routines several times.
We had problems to link oracle.
The problem was solved by a fixed version of the loader we got from oracle.

The last time i checked,  Cobol and Ada were not available thru

My guess is that you have to extend your paging space. 
The 'lsps -a' command tells you the amount of pageing space, and how
much of it that is used.

Subject: Sockets Problem
Date: 15 Sep 92 16:56:45 GMT
Organization: Andersen Consulting (UK Practice)


Does anyone have any clues as to why we experience the following problem
using sockets on AIX 3.2.1 ?  

We send a message, consisting of a header and data in two parts onto a
socket.  The receiver receives the message in two parts.  The header
is always 64 bytes long.  When the data portion is 1451 bytes long (or less)
the response time is more than when the data portion is 1452 bytes long; 'more'
means consistently longer by about .2 of a second.  The same thing happens
for data portions 1453-2903 bytes long, but data portions 2904 bytes and 
longer have good response times.  We are running over Token Ring and the 
maximum IP packet size for TCP/IP is 1492 bytes (is this a clue ?).

When we combine the header and the data in one message, response times are
consistent over all message sizes.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Tony

Does one use "importvg" to add a disk with usable data on it.


One of the rootvg disks crashed out, I am waiting on the new disk.
Will probably have to install the system new.  The other disk volume
should be okay and I would like to have it back without it being
reformated.  The old disk that crashed was 320meg disk and the
new disk is a 1gig disk; I am not so sure how it is going to go
when I make a system restore from tape because it was said that
AIX 3.2.1 supports the new 1gig and not Aix 3.2.0 which is what
I have on tape.

Any experience much appreciated,

Date: 15 Sep 92 17:32:17 GMT
Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

Dear AIXers :

Has anyone ever successfully created graphics output by CGI Toolkit ?

I tried writing C application programs using CGI Toolkit on AIX 3.1.5.
Because we don't have graphics terminals, I sent the output to a
metafile instead.
My .profile was set up as follows :

  VDIPATH=/usr/lpp/vdi/drivers ; export VDIPATH
  DDEVICE=vdimeta ; export DDEVICE
  METAOUTPUT=try.out ; export METAOUTPUT

In my C program, I opened "DDEVICE" as the workstation and drew lines/wrote
texts to the workstation.
An error handling routine was implemented for each CGI Toolkit function call to
respond to error situations.
The program was successfully compiled by
  xlc myfile.c /usr/lpp/vdi/lib/cvdi.a -o myfile
without any error messages.
The program would run and terminate normally; however, no output (a file named
try.out) was ever created as expected.

I was told by my system administrator that CGI Toolkit was part of the AIX
and there shouldn't be any incompatibility between the CGI Toolkit graphics
drivers and the operating system.
When we looked up /usr/lpp/vdi/drivers, "vdimeta" as well as the other
graphics drivers listed in appendix F of the CGI Toolkit manual did exist.
I also failed when trying sending the output to a regular file; no file was
created either.

Does anyone have clues of what I did wrong ?
Furthermore, how should I set environmental parameters to generate output at an
IBM 4019 laser printer ?
We would like to pipe the output through the system spooler if possible.

Any comment/suggestion is gratefully appreciated.


Sincerely,

No it doesn't have the W ! ! :-(
Lots of the other @@ symbols are weak externals and show up with

I don't know *anything* about doing X applications, yet the problem is
quite clear from the linkage editor output that you included...

The IEW0342 is telling you that it can't find the stuff you INCLUDED
on the ddname (SYSLIB) that you specified.  IEW0342 messages must be
corrected before attempting to diagnose IEW0132 messages.  In this
case, if you fix the IEW0342 messages, the IEW0132 *will* go away.

Well, I looked in TCPIP.V22.SEZACMTX and didn't find any of the stuff
you're including.  So I asked SMP/E where LMOD XMACROS is, and it
shows SEZAX11L.  You need to include another library in LKED.SYSLIB:
For TCPIP V2R2, it's SEZAX11L.  For older releases, you're on your
own, but a quick check in SMP/E will get you there.

Now... who's going to ask IBM why the X stuff is in a separate
library?  (Not me!  IBM is already less than happy with my comments
about TCP/IP problems.)

I am attempting to write a client-server program in C, using

error message.
Linking with the XREF option shows that MAIN refers to IBMLLIST,
IBMLLIST refers to CEESG003, and CEESG003 refers to the missing

What is even more curious is that a different program that
pulls in CEESG003 does not attempt to resolve the reference
to @@XINIT and has a clean linkedit, i.e @@XINIT@ is not brought
in as either a module nor is an entry point in some module in
that program. However I don't have a linkedit with XREF option
of this second program.

Doesn't that say $UNRESOLVED(W)?

The "W" means that it is a "weak" external reference and doesn't
always need to be resolved.

Are you sure you're doing the link correctly?  The TCP/IP V2R1 manual
said that you must use the following:

 INCLUDE SYSLIB(XMACROS)
 INCLUDE SYSLIB(XLIBINT)
 INCLUDE SYSLIB(XRM)
 ENTRY CEESTART

Subject:      How do you edit C programs?

How do you edit C programs that you write for the IBM 3090?
On our system (MVS/ESA with TSO and ISPF) I am unable to
get a readable/editable program up on the screen.
Various characters needed by C are not displayed properly
and attempts to enter them from my keyboard get the wrong
bit patterns into the file.
I have tried:
 - IBM 3278, 3291, 3279g, terminals coax connected to a 3274
 - IBM PS/2 with IBM 3270 card coax connected to a 3274,
   using PC3270 v1.1 entry level emulator program
 - Procomm terminal emulator program on PS/2 connected to
   an IBM 7171 protocol converter, (special table )
 - A vt100 terminal emulator program on an Amiga connected
   to an IBM 7171 ( vt100 emulator tables)
 The characters that I have troubles with are:
 - the curly open and close brackets
 - the square open and close brackets
 - the backslash
 They don't even behave consistantly on the different ways
 of accessing the system.
 My only solution thus far has been to use a substitute
 character combination for each of these and to translate
 back and forth between the editable and the processable
 forms of the programs. I would really like to find a
 more comfortable solution.
