The file fcntl.h was in the /usr/include/sys directory in Coherent 3.2 (and
possibly older releases). MWC moved it to /usr/include for Coherent 4.0.1.
There are three ways to fix this: 1) change the references in inews.c to
<sys/fcntl.h> into <fcntl.h>; 2) copy fcntl.h from /usr/include/sys into
/usr/include; or 3) (the best way, I think) use ln to make a hard link
in the /usr/include directory to fcntl.h in /usr/include/sys.

To create the link, use this command:

# ln -f /usr/include/sys/fcntl.h /usr/include/fcntl.h

Creating a link is preferable to copying the file since it doesn't require 
using up any added disk space.

fcntl.h contains defenitions for the commands used with the open() system
call (O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_NDELAY, O_APPEND, etc). This file is supposed
to be in /usr/include (I think) but MWC put it in /usr/include/sys in
previous versions of Coherent for reasons unknown. They probably moved it
back as a corrective measure.

I haven't gotten any response to this question on comp.bbs.waffle, so I figure
I'll try over here where the Coherent folks hang out:

Has anyone compiled/run Waffle 1.65 under Coherent successfully?  I'm currently
running Waffle for DOS, and would dearly love to switch over to Coherent...

You have to use alternate disk polling, your HD controler isn't
compatible. Either install Coherent from scratch and answer
the question about alternate disk polling with yes, or ask
support@mwc.com for a patch to switch from normal to alternate
disk polling.

I think uux expects rnews to either be in your PATH or in /bin (which normally
is in your PATH). That may be your problem, if you've already got rnews
somewhere sensible then I've run out of ideas I'm afraid.

tin is working again. I don't know why it broke; I deleted all the files in

compare the files. The only thing I can think of is that I ran it once w/
the command line option to reindex. Could that be it?

I'm wondering why the file permissions in /usr/lib/news keep changing, that
is the setuid bits disappear. Could it have something to do with the user
and group numbers of news? I made those 132 and 10 as in the Nutshell book
on managing usenet, and set those in the configure scripts where mentioned.
Should I make news and root or bin the same group?

I have come across a rather startling problem. I put V4.0 on a 386sx with 6Mb

little slow, with 5 users on the system. HOvIF'{kqj[{WEVER, when all are
loading the system with vi and a large text file, it seems to want to reset.
Not all the time mind you, but 4 time in 12 hours is enough to make the most

The sysrtem has a line filter and UPS, and the line checks are clear. It seems
to happen only when the system is under load... Is this a hardware problem? a
software problem, or both...Is 6Mb enough for 4-5 users.?

On a lighly used system, I'm not sure if I see any real advantage. One
possible disadvantage is that the PC/AT architecture is limited to a
maximum of four (4) partitions on the fixed disk. Since a separate /dev/usr
would require it's own partition, that would leave only two (2) partitions
for other OS's (for example, it would not permit DOS and OS/2 (unless loaded
on the same partition) since you would need 1 - DOS, 2 - Boot Manager, 
3 - OS/2 or DOS Extended, and 4 - Coherent).

One problem with specifically using a /usr partition is that the install
script will not properly copy cpio, more, pax, and ustar (actually cpio,
pax, and ustar are really links to the same program), or
/usr/lib/terminfo/a/ansipc. These must be manually copied after the install
completes.

Don't know, but from what I remember Hercules looks like a MDA, so the
answer is 'Yeah, should work, but I've never tried it'.

If you are doing much development, then yes, you do want multiple virtual
consoles, since if you mess up your terminal (i.e., screw up ioctl() calls)
or somehow get 'hung', you can always go to another virtual console,
login, and kill your other session.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dave.

Again, let me re-iterate that I have to pay for my newsfeed out
of my own pocket, and I only have a 2400 connection. I have no
use for this software (I use NNTP) so posting to this group would
make me very unhappy. If people want this software badly enough
then they'll be prepared to call mwcbbs or FTP it from some site.

Now that I know the state of reality,  I am coding my own loaders to
load the data into the /spool/news directory so TASS can read it.  I

Subject: Gnews/Tass beta system (doesn't work)
Date: 14 Sep 92 04:48:26 GMT
Organization: SPC Community Access System

I received a bunch of messages from people telling me to post the
gnews/tass package to Raven anyway, in spite of the slowness.
Just to be on the safe side, I tried to install it to see if
it worked with no big hassles.  There are problems.

1. rnews chokes on incoming news batches with an error like:

unable to open output batch /usr/spool/news/in.coming/Z...

I have no idea why this happens.  Just to be on the safe side
I made the in.coming directory a=rwx, but the error did not
go away.

2. The news poster "gnp" doesn't work.  Attempting to post
a test article caused:

getactive: unable to open active file /usr/lib/news/active
gnewspost: invalid rc from gnewscheck, rc=1
gnewspost: article not posted due to above error.

I'm baffled by this one also since the active file is certainly
in the /usr/lib/news directory.  Chmod a=rwx active didn't help
matters.

3. gnewsexp barfs also with the following message:

unable to obtain lock /usr/spool/news/in.coming/LCK..gnews

I followed the instructions exactly so I think there are
still problems with this port.  I used gnews exclusively
when I was using Coh3.2 so I know most of the gnews pitfalls
(I think).  If the object is to get a turnkey news system
for a novice user, then this port (as it currently stands)
is not successful.

As soon as I'm satisfied that a novice can get this going,
I'll post it to Raven.

Cheers,

Chris

Yes, it is missing.  How about emailing a copy to myself (I'll send
it to raven) or posting it here?  I have figured out the basics by
myself, but I would like to have instructions for the expire command
and general documentation.

Yes, I figured this out too when some twit send out a few phony

That's what I did.

No, that isn't the problem.  There is a syntax error in the way
rmail is called to send these messages to "usenet".  The error
is caused (on my system anyway) by wnews passing something like
rmail --s instead of rmail -s.

I haven't had the time to fix this yet, but I'm sure it's just a
quick patch.

Yes, I had the same thing happen when I dialed into a Xenix/286 system I
have at home. For some reason, the following escape sequences turn Coherent's
console into 'invisible text' mode :

	Esc [ ? 1 l	- curser key mode
	Esc [ ? 3 l	- 80 column
	Esc [ ? 4 l	- jump scroll (*)
	Esc [ ? 5 l	- normal screen
	Esc [ ? 7 h	- wrap on (*)
	Esc [ ? 8 h	- auto repeat on

	(*) - documented in lexicon as valid

My guess is that any 'Esc [ ? ...' will do it, but I havn't tested them all;
those were the ones in my Xenix termcap that caused problems under Coherent.

Is this a bug ? I think so, but havn't seen reference to it elsewhere here.
I have noticed, however, that if you explicitly set the normal video
attribute via :

	Esc [ m

then your text comes back !

Anyone at MWC (Bob?) care to comment on this ?

Subject: Delay for less than 1 second under 4.0.0

fellow Coherent users,
	In the coherent manual there are two functions by the name
	tick() and alarm2() that are supposed to let you delay for
	less than 1 second. Neither of these functions exist under
	4.0.0 (possible a 286 function call). Anyway I am looking 
	for some way to delay for less than 1 second (without using
	just a for loop, it must be clock independent).

	Any help is appreciated.
