Subject: Building IV3.1 w/ g++: header conflicts
Organization: Mount Holyoke College
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 22:32:59 GMT

I just tried building IV 3.1 with gcc/g++ 2.3.1 and I'm getting
the following types of errors in dozens of the source files...

  /local/lib/g++-include/iostream.h:53: `class ostream& ostream::write
  (const char *, int)' is already defined in class ostream
  /local/lib/g++-include/iostream.h:102: `class streambuf::istream&
  istream::get (char &)' is already defined in class istream
  [etc.]

I realize that there are still some problem with IV/g++, but I'm
thinking that I must be doing something obvious wrong here... Did
I make a mistake compiling/installing libg++?

 Hi.

 I'm trying to use the NeWS-server to create a bitmap of some kind
( eg sun rasterfile ) from a PostScript file.

 What I have tried is a program called ps3epsi, that starts with creating
a bitmap from the PS-file. However this program fails on some 
PS-files ( typically files created from TeX by dvips ), and I
get an error from the NeWS-server trying to conver theese files.

 I know that the NeWS-server can handle theese files because they 
work perfectly OK in pageview.

 Does anybody know of some other program to do this conversion, or
how I can fix this one. 
( I've used ghostscript, but the fonts are rather ugly when you 
 use them in a large size ).

  I use OpenWindows 3.0

Hello,

I'm having a problem with OpenWindows 2.0, SunOS 4.1.1 running
on Sun ELC's and an IPX. All the machines mount the /usr/openwin
from one single disk, so the software is identical.

Lets name the machine where openwindows runs "sun1" and another
machine "sun2". On sun1 I do:

sun1% xhost +sun2
.. being added to access control list
sun1% rsh sun2 /usr/openwin/bin/xview/clock -display sun1:0

A few moments later the clock process terminates and the sun1 console
shows an error message:

Process: 0x262f68 (X Listener %socketl6000)   Error: stackunderflow
Stack:
Executing: 'pop'
At: {packedarray{4} 'stopped' 'pop' *'pop' 'closefile' 'dup' (r) 'file'}
In: {... 4 'index' append 'put' packedarray{8} *'loop'}

This happens on 2 ELC's and an IPX every time when a non-local running
application tries to contact the server. On 2 other ELC's and an SLC,
all runs without problems! Remember that *all* the machines are executing
from the *same* /usr/openwin-disk (via NFS) and are running the *same* OS.

Anyone knows what is going on here? Any hints welcome.

Organization: Siemens Industrial Automation, Johnson City TN

Date: Thu, 5 Nov 92 12:46:18 GMT

I just received a flyer from Microsoft announcing Windows for Workgroups
and "Access" .

I was most interested in Access which was presented as the Microsoft database
package to use under windows.  It sounds like Access will eventually
claim the same status as a Microsoft supported windows application like
Excel and Word for Windows.  

My company has a strong thrust to adopt the microsoft applications line
of s/w as the "official" set.  Lacking other information, until this
announcement, we had assumed that FoxPro would be the db of choice after
it was purchased by Microsoft last summer.  

Since we are poised to start building a number of databases for
upcomming projects, we would like to minimize the need to do any
conversions later.  

So the question is: What is the story on ACCESS and how does it relate
to Microsoft's purchase of FoxPro?

Folks,
 I was just trying to get my Wyse 99GT to talk to an 
IBM RT, and when I couldn't get it to, i thought I'd better try getting
it to talk to istelf first. By shorting pins 2 and 3 together on the
DB25 connector on the back of the terminal, anything you type should be
echoed back to the screen, but it wasn't. Now the funny thing is that it
will talk to my other computer and my modem, but not to itself. I check
the voltage swings on the transmit data line coming out of the terminal,
and it went from +5.17 to -5.17 volts. This is certainly within RS-232
spec, so the terminal should be able to talk to itself. I had all
handshaking disabled, so I know that's not the problem. 
   It's not such a terrible problem, as the terminal does indeed talk to
the computer it's normally hooked up to, but *ALL* terminals should be
able to talk to themselves in the manner stated above, and I'm pretty
sure I used to be able to do this with this terminal. I'm just wondering
if this is a sign that something is out of adjustment or is going bad on
the serial ports on my terminal.  Anyone else with experience with Wyse
99GT's ever have this problem? 
Thanks for any help or advice,

c-kermit is written in (surprise), C.  Both these version support

MS-kermit does do Tek emulation in addition to it's default
VT220.  The VT220 emulation also has key-bindings to support
WordPerfect well under DOS.  Function keys work normally (as
opposed to procomm where hitting F1 gets me a procomm menu rather
then send the F1 sequence).

Kermit is a communications protocol that was developed to allow
file transfers between various kinds of machines ranging from main
frames to CP/M, AppleII....  Many communications program support
the basic kermit protocols, but usually not very well.

Binaries and sources are available from many ftp sites including

I bought a terminal, an ESP 6310 terminal made by Esprit Systems, Inc.
(100 Marcus Drive, Melville, NY 11747).

But there was no keyboard that came with the terminal, since it was only
$10, I bought it and hoped to find a keyboard that will work with this
terminal.

So I am in the process of finding a matching keyboard. 

Does anyone know what other brand and kind of keyboard (besides keyboards
made by Esprit) will/may work with the Esprit 6310 terminal? 

Does anyone know if this company still exists and what their phone
number is?  I plan to call them to ask about information on getting a 
keyboard.

Any suggestions on how/where I can find a matching keyboard would be
deeply appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

I am running layers on a 5620 with the server in another state on the

to run layers:

alias layers='exec layers -Ddp -m 252 -f .layerc 2>>.errfile'

And, this was something I saw in the .errfile output:

20:23:53 LAN encoding enabled

According to the manual page, the -m switch is supposed to disable the
default network protocol and use the regular protocol.  Help?

I'm not sure about all the options to your version of "layers",
but I suspect that if the terminal itself is set up to use LAN encoding
(which has fewer information bits per octet, to avoid use of certain
"control character" bit patterns), the "layers" host program will
detect that and force LAN-encoding mode.  Check the terminal set-up.

Yes, it's a classic issue.
Many modern ASCII terminals require host support for DC3/DC1 flow control
in order to not overrun their input buffer while performing time-consuming
operations such as insert line, smooth scroll, etc.  The VT100 was the first
widely used terminal like this.
Unfortunately some of the EMACS hackers, Stallman for example, insisted
that terminals should not behave that way and consequently refused (at
least for a long time) to make their versions of EMACS properly support
DC3/DC1 in-band flow control.  For example, on most UNIX systems the user
(or system administrator) is supposed to arrange for DC3/DC1 flow control
to be handled by the operating system's terminal handler when the user
logs in -- subsequent processes like EMACS then should preserve that mode
when fiddling with the terminal handler settings for their particular
style of screen and keyboard management.  Unfortunately many such programs
do not do this right (and some UNIX systems didn't support doing it right).
I don't know which version of EMACS you have but there should be some way
to force it to work right, even if it means editing the source code.

MOS threshold ranges can be adjusted by changing an ion implant dose.  The
threshold is also changed by substrate doping, well doping, oxide thickness,
random impurities, the phase of the moon ...  In other words, there is 
variation of the threshold around a design target, and anyone who specs 
threshold to a millivolt is either very good or very optimistic.  Common
production ranges are more like +/- 10mV to 100mV of variance.

Threshold also goes down with temperature, a millivolt or two per degree C,
depending on the process.

Why not 300mV thresholds?  Well, 300mV means the range is really 200mV to
400mV for some processes.  Add in subthreshold conduction, short channel
effects, and high temperatures and you have a device that is damned hard 
to turn off completely.   When I build static RAM cells using a 0.8 micron, 
600mV CMOS process, I have to make the pass transistors 1.2 microns long
to keep the bit lines from sagging - I would actually like a higher threshold
here, so I can shorten the pass transistors.

In static CMOS logic, a transistor that doesn't completely turn off will
chew up some DC standing current.  This is not a major issue if your whole
chip is drawing a lot of switching current, but it can lead to unpredictable
behavior.  Keep in mind that lower thresholds increases the time that both
devices in a CMOS inverter are turned on and fighting each other, so the
switching current goes up, too.

Too bad we can't choose a different threshold for every device on the die!
Well, actually, we get that, but not by choice :-).
