affect the performance of the disk drive? If so, in what way?

>I received my upgrade disks for v4.0.1 a week and a half ago, and exercised

I got my upgrade disks last Thursday (Aug 27).  Alas, disks 2 and 3 were
pretty marginal, with some files not accessable no matter how many times I
tried.  (Possibly not Mark Williams' fault--Customs might have x-rayed or
something nasty at the border.)

New disks are on the way, and I'm running 70% 4.01, the rest 3.1.  (It's
fairly shakey, but the 3.1 BBS code is still running fine, other than newusr
crashing.  So I didn't restore 3.1.)

The main hassle is that I want to run 4.01 now.  (It's got record locking!)

I got one of the programmers when I called, so the technical support staff
must be swamped.  Hopefully that's a sign of good sales, and not too many
problems.

I will be happy to help install Mail and News for anyone in the Northeast
Ohio area who is running Coherent. I can also handle Toledo and Columbus
as I have friends and family going to school in those areas and I may 
have an excuse to get down there, but arrangements will have to be made
for any place out of town. E-mail me at sjsobol@tiny.com.

Terry, give me a call and if you need my phone number I'll e-mail it
to you. I apologize, I know we've been talking about this for a while.
Right now, I can only give you the news package I'm running on 3.2, and
I don't have elm for 4.0 yet.

I dont' understand which driver you need, eg: video, disk drive, serial
port. The 386 device driver kit hasn't been released yet, as far as I know.
I expect that while 4.0 can run applications written for the '286, it may
not run device drivers written for 3.x.

At any rate, I suspect that you are wanting a device driver for your SCSI
equipment. In order to write such a beast, not only will the author need
a device driver kit, they will need specific information on the hardware's
i/o workings and a copy of the hardware itself in order to do the debugging.

If you are going to attempt to write the device driver, start as soon as
possible trying to get the technical data on the hardware. I have found
manufacturers to be tight lipped, even when the creation of a public domain
driver would expand their markets. Of course, some manufacuters are willing
to provide technical data.

Hi!

I would like to use only Coherents Masterboot, to boot Coherent
(of course ;-), MS DOS 5.0 and OS/2 2.0.

BUT... it seems to be impossible to install OS/2 2.0 _without_ his
own Bootmanager. :-(

(I find it a little bit stupid, first to have the Masterboot, and
than to have to Bootmanager, for finaly running DOS or OS/2)

Any solution?

Under Coherent 4.0 tar is a link to ustar! If you get the message

if a tar archive is created with the old v7 tar from Coherent 3.x,
which under 4.0 can be called with v7tar. Typing quit is still ok,
the only difference is that v7tar doesn't put an end of archive

Do you have a file called "libndir.a" in /usr/lib? I doubt it, I think you're
using Coherent 4.0, in which case you should delete the "-lndir" in whatever
line of the makefile specifies it, the ndir functions are part of libc in
Coherent 4.0 apparently.

Reply-To: "Coherent operating system" <COHERENT@indycms.bitnet>

I'm glad I can finally help with something important.
Here's how I got elm to work:

cd to doc - read the documentation!!!

Edit the Configure script - it barfs on the awk 'sanity check'.
I just commented out this line or 2, around line #250.

Say yes to the 'does the second field in the passwd file contain the
user names' - default is no.

The full path of pathalias data file should be /usr/lib/mail/paths.

'domains (uumail)' - change to /etc/domain.

Say yes to MMDF (mailer) format - default is no.

I made 'favorite shell' /usr/bin/ksh.

Then I did sh Configure, and it installed.

I think make was next, and then make install.

Make documentation failed, so I finished it by hand.

* I had to make /usr/spool/mail 777 for elm to work properly.

All in all, the Configure script is probably one of the best I've ever seen.
It took about a half hour to install.

Hope it works for you :-).

I vote very strongly AGAINST nn. I have used nn for several years, and like
it very much, and will probably continue to use it on the unix machine.
My reason for voting for something else? At this time, I am reading about
50 groups, and the "/usr/spool/nn/DATA" directory is 41 megs. That is forty-
one megabytes of just cross-reference listing. nn is very fast, but a bit
of a pig when it comes to disk usage. After taking a quick look at 'trn',
I am going to install it and check the relative merits of each.

There is really one, but it works only with Hercules boards (maybe also
with other mda boards). It switches the screen dark after 3 minutes of
no keypressing. After a keypress (shift is enough) the screen looks like
before. The stuff is coded into the console device driver, I've seen it
in the sources which comes with the driver kit 3.2. I think you'll need
the driver kit to get this running with other video boards.

To add to the confusion, I have tested two keyboards with Coherent.
The Tandy enhanced keyboards work well with no problem or odd key swapping,
although I totally dislike the feel of the Tandy keyboard -- I'm a
touch typist and hate a keyboard that requires a sledge hammer to use.
I also have a Focus 2001, which is probably the best $40 I've ever spent. :-)
At any rate, the Focus 2001 keyboard works well with Coherent with the
exception that some keys are swapped: Caps Lock is CTRL, both CTRL keys
are Caps Lock, and both ALT keys are CTRL. I could probably fix this if
I spent some time with the keyboard binding file, but I haven't had the
time to tear it apart yet.

as a first time user of Coherent (4.0.1) but long time user of other *nixes
I am wondering why the sementics and the output of some commands have been
changed. Example: head -n usually gives the first n lines of a file, in
Coherent the first N-n (N = total lines). This may seem rational
(considering the extra +n option), but for a user who wants to use the same
shell scripts on various systems this is *very* disturbing.
Similar considerations hold for date, ps, df, and probably many others.
awk, too, behaves unexpectedly: 2/4 gives 0, 2/4.0 gives 0.5; this might be
a nice fearure, but again, portability is ruined.

It took me months of poking around before I felt that my news system was
fine tuned.  Some of that time was just learning how things worked and
how the different parts of the news system worked with each other.  Some
of it was tracking down outright bugs.  rn has a couple.

I've noticed this also.  I think it has something to do with exit
codes.  This has never bothered me much so I haven't gotten around to
tracking the source of the problem down.

> I cannot get back into rn after running a sub-shell, either.

I don't think that there is a fix for this.  I think that rn is just
TOO large of a program to work in the small model of Coherent 3.X
and when you shell off you're corrupting the stack.

This is to update my prev. post which contained bad data (that's what

The system boots and I login then a timed process kicks off, and the

screens full of "(11,1):Inode nnnn busy" messages, culminating in an
"(11,1):Inode table overflow" message and a "Panic:bad()" message.

My next step is to back off the "user specific" cron file and try the
old method to see if I get the same results.

Nope, RTFM.  cc1 is the code generator, cc2 the optimizer. If you'd read
carefully, you would have noticed also that it is from a real world
application.

IMO, it's better to report a bug together with the workaround to the net,
so not only MWC is informed, but also people know what's the matter when
they happen to stumble into it.

Opinions?

I've been wrestling with the cnews package in the sources directory
of Raven all weekend.  No luck.  The makefile barf all over the 
place with errors like:

ld: Library must be created with ar -s option
make: exited with status 256

Can someone who got it to work give me some tips?  Again, I ask
if someone has ported a newer cnews specifically for Coh4.0???

Help,

Chris
