Hi:
	There is a viewer called gif.shar on anomaly. Works with the
SCO CGI. Hope you have a dev.sys.!
	Did you know that your header is a little off? I think it

That works here for gs 2.5.2 (with the above mentioned hack).

BTW installable binaries for gs 2.5.2 are available from here:

	ftp.wimsey.bc.ca:~ftp/pub/wimseypd/wgs.1.0.1a*

Installable gcc 2.1 is in same spot. I'll be taking a look at 2.3 shortly.

If you have standard gcc without the __STDC__=0 compiled in, use something like:

	-D__STDC__=0

Subject: tset programming Wyse keys?
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL3
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 1992 17:43:55 GMT

I had a strange one this morning.

Client had upgraded from 3.2 2 to 3.2 4 Friday night (now you
know what *I* was doing Friday night!).  Anyway, after the upgrade
the users started complaining that their keyboards were messed up.
Sure enough, the Wyse 60's had their 'backspace' and 'end' keys
(among others) programmed differently than the way they had been set up.

My first thought was to kill the 'is' string in termcap, but that had
zero effect.  Whenever they'd login, the keys would change.  So then
I replaced 'tset' with a simple script:

if [ "$TERM" = "wy60" ]
then
echo TERM=wy60-25
fi
echo export TERM

(The actual script is a little more complex, but this is the basic concept). 
This was sufficient to fix the problem, but what is the reason behind it?
What's changed in 'tset' and why??

Any thoughts?

Alexis,
	The #!/bin/sh, or hashpling functionality is available on
SCO UNIX 3.2v4 and ODT 2.0, but unfortunately not on earlier releases.
To enable it, make sure that the variable "hashplingenable" is set to 1
in /etc/conf/pack.d/kernel/space.c and then relink the kernel:

int hashplingenable = 1;   /* set 1 if "#!" recognized by exec */

   We have a client using an SCO system who would like to attach an
existing Macintosh as a serial terminal.  They require a colour
terminal emulation and the ability to have a printer attached to the
terminal.  The software we're using (MAS90) does not handle PostScript
output, so the terminal must be able to accept plain text and perform
any conversion necessary to talk to a LaserWriter.  The closer the
emulation can be to the Xenix console (including colours and, preferably,
line-drawing characters), the better.

   We have no Mac expertise in-house, so I'd appreciate hearing
recommendations on any suitable terminal emulators that any of you
have used.  Please reply directly to me; I'll post a summary of
replies.

No, it isn't (as far as I know).

First you add the domain (the machine or node) to one of the domain
files (*.dom). Then you have to add a line in smtp.chn that tells mmdf
the internet address of this (fully specified) domain. You still have
the badhosts entry in your mmdftailor file to be able tou route mail
to unknown hosts.

Ex.:

root.dom:
---------

micky:            micky.disney.com
micky.disney.com: micky.disney.com

smtp.chn:
---------

micky.disney.com: 123.124.125.126

This should do it. May be the reference of micky.disney.com to itself
is not necessary, but I have it in my domain list. Now all mail going
to micky or micky.disney.com goes directly to the node with the
address 123.124.125.126 and all other mail is handled by your relay
defined in mmdftailor (badhost channel).

hello netters,

We are trying to put together a PC system capable of scanning and recognizing
potentially large volumes of text. Everything from lengthy committe
proposals to magazine articles to books are likely to be input. We also
need the system to scan in color graphics occasionally.

We think buying a PC/windows machine, adding PCNFS and using caere omnipage
pro 2.1 with a microtek 600dpi flatbed color scanner looks like the best way
to accomplish this. We can scan the stuff in then use NFS to get it into
unixland.

If anyone has any experience in this area and would like to offer
an opinion we would greatly appreciate it. Opions on the contemplated
products would be very welcome.

If anyone has any experience using automatic sheet feeders with OCR
packages we would appreciate hearing about it. We are concerned that
the sheet feeders may not align forms well enough for the OCR package.

Thank you for you help!!!

regards,

tbr

Gee, somebody that actually *wants* banners!  It seems I spend an awful
amount of time rewriting interface scripts so they *won't* print
banners :-)

So: it's /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/your_printer-name.

It's just a shell script; hard code your own banner in there if
you want it.

If you upgrade, you'll have lots of fun with the 3-zillion line printer 
interface scripts :-)

It seems you are looking for the copyin() and copyout() functions.
They copy from virtual kernel space to user space.  The user address is
relative to the users address space. I.e. the address the users process
would use to access the memory.

The paddr(bp) is a simply a macro that maps to the buffer address field in
the buf structure.  The address is the VIRTUAL address.  Virtual address
are the ones you use to access the data.  Normally you are not concerned
with the physical address.  However, the functions kvtophys() and 
phystokv() will convert back and forth.  Sometimes the physical address
is required when dealing with peripherals.

copyin() will copy from a user address to a virtual address and copyout()
will copy the other way.  Note: copyin() and copyout() cannot be used in
a driver interrupt routine since there is no "user" at the interrupt
level.  This goes for any functions which require knowledge of a user
process (like any references to the u struct).

The SCO UNIX System V/386 Development System Device Driver Writer's Guide
(SCO Document # 6-26-89-6.0/3.2.0) has a lot of good info as well as

Ususally these types of errors result from include files that
aren't being included, or in the case of gcc parts of include
files that are ifdef'ed out by the strangeness of __STDC__.

The first step in diagnosing the problem is to find which include
files contain the definitions for the missing item, in this case
tzp.  I use a statement of the form:
find /usr/include /usr/local/include -type f -print|xargs grep tzp /dev/null

This will go through all the /usr/include and /usr/local/include
(where gcc looks BEFORE scanning /usr/include) for files with the
appropriate pattern.  The /dev/null argument for grep insures
that the file name will always be prepended to its output.

I usually find some strangeness with __STDC__ and have to edit
the appropriate include file(s) to make it work with gcc.  I copy
the file to /usr/local/include... and edit that file appropriately.
This way I can identify the changes that were necessary when new
versions of the DevSys come out.
