Let me guess, your first try goes wrong, and you changed your configuration
files. Then you type again uucp mwcbbs!/usr/spool/uucppublic....
It also failes, and you changed something in your configuration and so on.
And with every try you created a new job in /usr/spool/uucp/mwcbbs.
If an uucp command fails, you should type /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -Smwcbbs
for an retry. This does not create a new job, it repeats the last one.
When i was a beginner with uucp, this was my problem.
Erase all files in /usr/spool/uucp/mwcbbs, and then create a new job
with uucp.

I like Coherent and can see a lot of personal uses. However, I have
difficulties in convincing people to use it for anything other than
a learning/home tool, because there is the perception that one cannot
buy applications for Coherent.

What is the situation, business-wise? How many copies of Coherent
exist? How many third party suppliers are there? How many distributors
of Coherent? Can one become a Coherent distributor? If yes, how?
If one can produce an application for Coherent, will MWC add it to
their list of Coherent software?

Etc?????????

Well, the version I'm running now is SCO's February 15th release, Version4.
The cc compiler is MicroSoft's v6 compiler, while rcc is the AT&T ANSI
compiler. In dealing with source from the newsgroups, I've mainly had to
add just an 'h' to the -O flag in the Makefile - -Oh, and a few of the
sources required both the -DUNIX and -i386 flags to be added to the makefile.
Otherwise, I can't think of anything NOT compilable. Side from a few changes
for where to install... And I've compiled up a bunch of it.

Why do you say SCO isn't really SYSV throughout?

A couple of questions for the Coherent gurus . . . 

1)	What exactly is Watchdog and why isn't it documented anywhere?  (BTW:
	Coherent v3.2.1 here . . .)

2)	I've been running Coherent about 3 months now, and up until about
	a week ago it was running fairly reliably.  The only thing I had done
	prior to it starting to get flakey was to install 2M more of RAM
	on my AST RAMpage for my IBM AT motherboard based system. 
	My problem was that I started having these Watchdog errors show up
	on the console concerning some supposed areas on my drive that had
	turned up as bad and had now been flagged.  Initially I believed
	this, low leveled my drive and reinstalled the OS but the problems
	still cropped up.  I even moved my Coherent partition to a different
	physical locaton on the drive, but the problem still persists.  The
	situation is such that these "Watchdog errors" will show up
	proclaiming such and such area on the drive has been flagged bad,
	however if I shut the system down and reboot, that error will go away.
	The Watchdog errors are not consistant and as far as I'm able to
	determine have absolutley nothing to do with the hard drive.  I
	also have DOS 5.0 installed on seperate partition on the same physical
	drive and have experienced no problems with any areas going bad
	there.

	Thinking that this might have something to do with the 2M of RAM
	I'd recently installed I removed it.  Extensive tests of the RAM
	with the Checkit program have turned up no errors.  The most
	annoying thing is that the problem is intermitant and inconsistant.

Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm having a few problems with the new version of uucp that I downloaded

	2.	Sometimes when I'm getting my news feed, the line is disconnected.
		uucico remains active on my machine, but the line can then make an
		outgoing call, I.E. I get dial tone not modem tone.  When I reinvoke
		uucico, the rest of my feed comes through.  I can't find any problem

	Any help would be appreciated.  I'm running 3.2.01k.

yeah, that's right.  i called up MWC about 4 months ago, and the rep told me
