Yes, yes yes! I've had this same problem. When I tried to get help from
the Apple A/UX support folks last March or April, they were had no
other reports of this problem.

And, yes I do use a personal System Folder.

My partial solution was to attach a 2nd hard disk formatted as a Mac
partition; copy all of my A/UX home directory files to that disk (and
remove them from the A/UX partition); reboot into the Mac os (no A/UX);
run Norton Disk Doctor on the files on the external disk (lots of
bundle bits and other stuff fixed); reboot into A/UX and copy all of
my files back from the external disk to my A/UX partition.

I no longer have any trouble trashing anything, BUT my folder windows
(under my home directory window) routinely (usually overnight while no
one is logged on) resize and reposition themselves to the default size
and location. Most annoying!

:I have tried to rebuild the desktop, but the problem won't go away.  Does

Rebuilding the desktop (too many times) has not cured this problem. Can

Will A/UX 3.1 have a fix? When is 3.1 due?

I think that one of the changes in /bin/mail from A/UX 2.0.x to 3.x is
that mail now uses .lock file locking...

From what I've seen on other platforms, the problem is not that the 
command line is too long.  The problem is that the environment variable
list given to execve() is too long.  

Add a special target to your makefile as follows:

.NOEXPORT:

This tells gnu make not to export all make variables into the environment.
Gnu make's default behavior is to export all variables.  Beware of the
incompatibility that this may create for makefiles that invoke make on
other makefiles with the "-e" option!

Subject: Re: shlib in /usr/spool/ftp

(Sorry I can't quote other people in my reply. I've not yet had a
chance to put a newsreader on A/UX, so I'm stuck with a rather
primitive one on VM/CMS.)

Well, /shlib is there now, but I've reformatted the disk and re-installed
A/UX--but more on that later.

What I did do remove ~/ftp/shlib was rm -r shlib (from ~/ftp); it
walked down the directory tree, asked me if I wanted to override
protection for a few files, and that was all she wrote. Even ls wouldn't
work.

For whatever reason, the installer wouldn't even recognize the root
file system, even after I removed the partition and put it back. What
finally worked was to put the drive in a borrowd 950 (with 36M RAM and
an external 1.2 GB in addition to the 400 MB internal--I was *very*
reluctant to let it go), install A/UX on that machine, dump my user
file system to the internal HD on the 950, initialize my HD,
re-install A/UX on that, dump my file system back, and then close
up all the boxes.

It wasn't so much a disaster as a hassle, and a big one at that. I
had a recent backup, so I was able to work without fear, and I was
able to restore things without needing it; I didn't, however, have
a backup of any software, and that was all on the root partition.
Now, I've got an extra partion, mounted at /usr/local, in which I'm
putting *all* added software, everthing from ghostscript to PageMaker.
With luck, I'll have room on my backups for both that an my users
partition.

(Looking over that paragraph, it might give the impression that I've
lost all my software--which isn't the case. I've got original and
backup floppies for all commercial software, and everything else I
use I've gotten from the 'net. That doesn't mean, however, that I'm
having fun swapping floppies and burning CPU cycles putting everything
back on.)

I have a DayStar 40 MHZ accelerator card with cache.

If I turn on the cache, my mac will die within 40 minutes. ( Macsbug says bad

run forever.

This is the second Daystar card. They are pointing the finger at the ROM upgrade

Does this make any sense?

My local dealer has agreed to replace the ROM.

I don't understand why it is taking so long to croak when the cache (on the

there are lots of ways to do this.  Normaly I use

there is a way to do this using tar too.
	(cd src; tar cf  . )| (cd dst; tar xvf )

Be carefull though.  this will also grep ALL files, text and non text.
the command won't break but the output can be confusing.

Well, Bill, here's the comparable output from the Pyramid:

speed 9600 baud; line = 0; intr = DEL; quit = ^|; erase = ^h; kill = @; eof = ^d; eol = ^`; swtch = ^`

...Also eof = ^D
One thing I might point out is that "out of the box" the Pyramid wants
to use ^C to exit a shell, and we have re-mapped it in /etc/profile.
Could this be why it doesn't fully "take"?
