Subject: Accessing dual-port mem in SVR4
Date: 9 Apr 92 09:33:33 GMT
Organization: Aztec Information Management

Hi all

I am trying to write a device driver for a card which uses dual port memory
for message passing. I can't quite figure out how to access this memory in
SVR4.  Xenix used to have a great routine called 'mapphys', which allowed
a device driver to map an area of physical memory to a virtual address. I
suspect that `memcntl' or `mmap' under SVR4 is the routine to use, but I can't
make much sense of the man pages for these routines.

Anybody out there know which routine it is, and how it is used?

Thanks in advance
Graham

Help! I accidentally wrote over the beginning of a tar file.
Is there anyway to recoup the rest of the tar file?

Idea: I can use `dd' to retrieve the portion of the tar file
      which was not written over.

Question: Can I "cat" a header to the beginning of the remaining
	  portion of the tar file and save what's left!?

Subject: Anyone using CVS out there?
Date: 13 Apr 92 19:32:58 GMT
Organization: Visual Edge Software, St. Laurent, Quebec

Hi all (yet again)!

Over here, we have been using RCS for maintaining our source code for the
last few years.  In general we are happy with it except for the inability
to handle concurrent checkouts.

Having seen the posting of CVS in the GNU newsgroup, I am wondering if anyone
out there has used CVS in an RCS environment.  We have approximately 100-200
directories, and over 2000 files that are accessed by over 15 users.  There
is an extensive number of revisions of each file and hence any lengthy
conversion time must be taken into account.

Also, since we are a development shop, compile time is precious, and hence,
any information as to what sort of overhead using CVS entails would also
be appreciated.

Any information from actual CVS users out there would be appreciated!

Thanks

Date: 15 Apr 92 01:02:45 GMT

I am really confused about an rcs behavior and would appreciate if someone
could enlighten me.  I have a setuid csh script that calls the rcs `co`
command (version 5.5).  The RCS directory and its contents are all owned by
the same user as the csh script.  If user x comes along and runs this script
to check out a locked version of a file everything appears to be okay.  If
I run rlog on the selected file it shows x as having the file locked - fine,
but now if I run this same script and try to checkout a locked copy of the
same file (same effective uid, but different real uid) it lets me.  Does
anyone know why this is?


Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Get gnutar.  It will strip the leading / off the pathname, and restore it to  
your current directory.  You will still have the same tree of files but it will

Greetings!

I hope some Unix whiz can help this neophyte out...

I dial into a Unix system from my Mac to access email and news. I don't have
shell access on that system (I exist in some kind of menu thing). I use rn
to read news. My question - from the prompt at the end of the story, instead
of saving to my News directory on the Unix machine, is there some way to
directly invoke a ZModem transfer to my Mac? Currently, I first save it there,
download it to my Mac, then delete the original file (we're supposed to keep our
directory to under 100K).

If that's not possible, is it possible to write an article, a range of articles,
or selected articles to individual files from the rn end-of-article prompt?
For example, in comp.binaries.mac, saving the 12 parts of the file in one fell
swoop into 12 individual files, using the article # (or something else) for its
filename.

Please email me your advice because news articles often expire before I get a
change to get back on line. Thanks in advance for all the hopefully helpful
advice.

But they need to be assigned by the administrator. If you're going to let
people do casual copying anyway, it should be implemented using some sort
of prompting like FTP or NET USE.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but it should
be a simple one to answer, so here goes...

Here's a C code fragment:

      f1 = fopen ("file", "r");
      f2 = fopen ("file", "r");
      fclose (f1);

Now, is f2 still open or not? I'm running hpux 8.0, if that makes any
difference.

F1 and f2 seem to get the same values after the fopen, which is why I'm
confused... if they're pointing to the same file structure, then how
are multiple file pointers managed?  

My scant C references say nothing about the matter.

Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind is that SVR4 is a real,
commercial, shipping product while OSF/1 seems forever just around the corner.
Now, raise your hand, all those who expect that the first commercial release
of OSF/1 will match the stability of those operating systems it is intended
to supplant.

Indeed, Open Systems Today recently reported that H-P was dissatisfied with
certain aspects of current OSF/1 technology and that they were holding off

Try using gnu`s version of tar (gtar? gnutar? I can't remember).  It does
not have any silly restrictions (or at least not as constrictive restrictions)
as regular tar.

Well, your chat script is waiting for "ogin:" to come back from the
other machine, and it looks like it's not getting it.  Neither of the
examples you showed had the ":" on the end, and this one shows your
machine sending something before the one you're calling (paul) even gets
done spawning its getty.  cu that machine and make sure its actually
sending  "paul login:" and not "paul login".  They've customized their
/etc/gettydef file, so they may have a typo in it :-).  If its only
echoing "login", take the colon out of your Systems chat script so it
has "ogin--ogin" instead.  If paul *is* echoing "login:", ad some
"\r\d\r\d"'s before the "ogin:--ogin:" in the chat script.  This
will send a few carriage returns and pauses to give the machine you
are calling a chance to get its act together and get a getty really
going before your machine tries to log in to it.  Hope this helps.

I'm looking for public domain (i.e. something I can modify and distribute as
part of something else that will probably be distributed under the GNU license)
source for printf.  I don't see anything fancy, no floating point support or
anything of that nature.  Perhaps a mud has a simple printf (since the actual
reason I need it is because I'm want to write directly to a TCP socket and the
\n's need to be translated to \r\n's is one of the reasons I need my own printf
I figure someone else may have already run into this...)

The closest I've found is an earlier 4.3BSD version of ex that has a nice 
simple version of printf.c, but Berkeley stuff isn't public domain in that way
(or is it?)  I checked the GNU C library, but its not a self-contained module,
but is rather distributed about and has lots of unnecessary code for things
like extra long integers and such that I don't want to have to clean up.

Can anyone help me?  I've checked archie and got hundreds of references, but
I can't tell via archie which ones might be public domain! :-)
