Unfortunately, I am just a user of the bbs here at Florida Atlantic.  If 
anybody wants a copy of the source, I'd be happy to mail it to them (when 
I get the missing pieces from Randy!)  Just send me e-mail, I'll do my 
best to send it off.  The bbs here has limited resources so I can't store 
it on the system.

Reply-To: grante@aquarius.rosemount.com (Grant Edwards)
Organization: Rosemount, Inc.
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1992 19:17:48 GMT

While preparing to install my 4.0 upgrade, I decided to back up my
non-root partitions just in case.

I tried to do a multi-volume backup with ustar to /dev/rfqa1.  All
went well for about 12 floppy disks until I got an error message about
non-enough memory to open a directory.  So I tried again and got the
same error in the same place.

Next I tried gnu tar with the -M option to create a multi-volume
archive (again on rfqa1).  Creating the archive went well (19
floppies).  But when I did a "tar -tvMf /dev/rfqa1" with gnu-tar to
verify the disks it never asked for the second volume.

It listed the contents of the first floppy, then got read errors at
the end of the disk and gave up.

Has anybody else seen these problems?  I _really_ hate dump/restore,
so if there's a way to do multi-volume tar backups I'd like to hear
about it.

  Rick,
   
      I tried to get 3.2.1A to run at 19200 and It would not work..

      I have a 16550AFN on com4. and a PM14400FXSA next to it..

You might want to give Linux some consideration, and you don't

I am running Coherent 4.0 with excellent results on a 486 with a few
users.  One of my users frequently receives the message to run cvmail
against his /usr/spool/mail file.  When cvmail is run everything is
fine for a few days then it happens again.  I have received the message
once but not recently.  I have never used an earlier version of Coherent
so cvmail doesn't seem to apply anyhow.

It must be something this user is doing as no one else has this problem.

Ideas?

The following is a non-sanctioned by MWC personal reply...

This is sleazy, but it has worked for my own personal use and MWC will not
officially sanction this method...

Rerun the update. It won't clobber your existing filesystem, but it may
screw up your /etc/ttys file, so you'll have to watch out for whatever
ends up in it.

If you have i declared in your program, than it can't be outside your memory
area. The problem is that scanf requires an address(pointer), and "i" is
not a pointer. Try scanf("%d", &i).

Look at the permissions on /dev/com2l and make sure that they are 0666. If they
are and uucico wtill won't pick up the phone, then you'll need to forward

When I posted about uucp errors due to using a high speed
modem, Rick Kelly recommended obtaining NS16550AF UART but 
I'm having a problem finding a serial card that has one in
Eastern Canada. 

Can anyone point to a source?

Because to remove reverse mode, 'more' sends the "set no attributes" sequence,
which happens to be white on black.

There are no real ways around this as long as you use ANSI escape sequences.

I modified my COHERENT 3.1 more to read the reset attributes from a file.
That was a kludge I was able to use only because I had the source.  Note
that vi and me still munged my colors.

You may be able to make an entry in your termcap file--I haven't checked yet
so it may not be possible--so that it sends out your colors after the
no attributes sequence.  This, again, would be a kludge since you wouldn't
be able to change to different colors once you set them without modifying
your termcap file.

Pred Bundalo
