Dear Perplexed,         :-)

    Although you don't say it I suspect you created the netgroup maps
after you configured your master and slave server the first time
around. On some good advice from a Sun engineer I'll pass this advice
along: When you add a new map to a master server the easiest (and most
painless) way to get the slave to "take" the new map is to kill ypserv
on the slave, remove your /var/yp/<domain> subdirectory, and start
fresh with ypinit -s <master>.  This will insure that your slave will
know about all maps that the master knows, and saves you from hacking
into the maps by hand.

    When you add a new map to your master, the ypservers map does not
get updated automatically (I think). So blowing out your slave and
ypinit-ing it should end your headaches. Hope this helps you out.

Bear in mind that not all of the stuff described therein is implemented
in existing SPARC chips; the only currently-available SPARC V8 chips I
know of are the Viking^H^H^H^H^H^HSuperSPARC and
Tsunami^H^H^H^H^H^H^microSPARC chips, although others will probably come
out in the future (e.g., Pinnacle^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HHyperSPARC).

For example, most SPARC chips don't support the multiply and divide
instructions (they do support multiply step), although SunOS 4.1 and
later have simulation code for those instructions.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.  I have a color IPX workstation.
I run OpenWindows version 3.  For some bizarre reason, xlock has
decided that it will now only run in monochrome mode.

I tried running 'xlock -saturation 1' and played with the 'mono'
switch.  I even rebooted my workstation.  Nothing seems to work.
The display itself is fine because I've got a color .gif file
up on the screen.  And until yesterday, xlock ran in color perfectly
fine.  Now it's gone bonkers!

If anyone has any clue what's wrong, I'd love to hear it.  Please 
respond directly to sbrenner@attmail.com.

It would be helpful to hear what *you* think "SunLink" is.
Here is a choice:

Hmmm. I don't have an immediate answer for this. There are developer tools
that can tell you this, but with 2.04 and up no longer having L:FastFileSystem,
it isn't quite as easy as doing a "version L:FastFileSystem". On the other
hand, if you still have an L:FastFileSystem, that would tell us something. :)

The controller/drive probably came with a program for preparing the drives
for use on the Amiga. It can tell you. Just don't select reformat!  :)

I can't tell you for sure -- but there is a good chance that it needs a ROM
update. And yes, GVP does do ROM updates, at least on some of their products.

You can probably save yourself the trouble by not testing it at all.
There's not really much that you can do wrong in setting it up, so your
best bet would be to just give it try. Use 'spark.inet-uk.co.uk' as your
RETPATH, batch it a couple times a day, and that's it.

First of all because of all the backchannel and the retrain time, HST is
lousey for UUCP.  But you can help by increasing the segment size (size of

I use:

UUCP:c/uucico -r1 -n7 -P6 -x1 -7

That gets a 1024byte packet size.

You still won't get really great CPS unless you go to something with equal
send/receive rates.

None of the repliers knew about Fred and FidoGate. Instead, I was told by
the McOrmond brothers about Russell McOrmond's project which seemingly does
exactly what I need. The name of the project is WelmatTS. It will act as a
gateway between different nets. Unfortunately it isn't ready yet, so it
seems I have to stick with the current system for a (long) while:

I had immense problems with mine when I updated to WB 2.04. I bought the
