Here's how:

1) Obtain the source code to popper from ftp.cc.berkeley.edu
(128.32.136.12) via anonymous ftp.   It's in the /pub/popper
directory, and the file you want is popper-1.831beta.tar.Z


2) Compile it.  You'll have to fix the Makefile before it will compile. 


3) Take the executable file 'popper' and put it someplace like
/usr/local/bin, or wherever you store local programs.  


4) Edit the file /etc/services, and put the following line in there:

pop3       110/tcp             # Post Office, version 3

Check to make sure there's not already a reference to pop3 in there. 
If there is, make sure it agrees with the above.  If not, replace it
(but comment out the old line, don't delete it).  


5) Edit the file /usr/etc/inetd.conf, and put the following line in
there:
	
pop3   stream  tcp nowait  root    /usr/local/bin/popper    popper

Note that you should use the path of your popper program, which may
not be /usr/local/bin/popper.  That's just where I've put mine.  


6) Use the 'ps -ef | fgrep inetd' command to find out the process id
number  of inetd.   Issue the command 'kill -HUP nnnn', where nnnn is
the process id number of inetd.  This tells inetd to re-read it's
configuration file.

Presto!  All done!

You will find that popper generates a *large* number of messages that
appear in /usr/adm/SYSLOG.  We have so many people using pop3 mail
clients that the log messages became a problem (and we never found
the log useful).  So we gutted the poplog function in the pop_log.c
file in the popper distribution.  

Best of luck!

I have added an alternate df1 data file to the ftp site. It contains the Earth elevation 
data and a simple color scheme based on the elevation (blue+green+white). I have also
documented the 'u' key, which can be used to change orbital characteristics
in conjunction with 's' (inside star system, press'u', press 's', use mouse to select
planet, use mouse to select stat, enter new number with keyboard<ENTER>). It's handy
for moving planets around or altering the axial tilt. A good one is to set the orbital
period to 100000000 and then make the planet rotate fast on its axis.

try to write a little programme which makes a call to setvaluator.
With this call You can specify the region in which the mouse is allowed
to move.
It should be something like :

#include <gl.h>
#include <device.h>

main()
{
  noport();
  winopen("free my mouse");
  
  setvaluator(MOUSEX,800,0,1599);
  setvaluator(MOUSEY,600,0,1199);
}

(I just type it out of my head, maybe it doesn't compile directly, but
the setvaluator call is that does it. Just checked it, it works for me)

If You have locked Your mouse again, simply call this little programme.
If You have no shell window in Your locked 1280 * 1024 region You can
login remote and call it then.

As far as I remember, setvaluator didn't work for some early 4.0.X
releases, but with 4.0.5F it's definitely ok again. In the good old 3.X
days, gclear used to set the mouse free again, but this doesn't work
since 4.0. :-(

Hope this helps

path is set up by csh from the environment variable PATH whenever the csh

It can then be modified in $HOME/.cshrc and, for login shells, 
in $HOME/.login

Under IRIX (but no many other systems), csh also executes /etc/cshrc
when running as a login shell.

You will find that many user admission agents (rexecd, rshd ...) have
default values for PATH compiled in, in case no other mecahnism to modify
it is exercised by the user.

Compress was originally freely distributed for use with usenet news
and later was incorporated into the usenet B news source code.  I'm sure
it's still part of that source.  There was some fuss a few years ago
when some company (Unisys, I think) tried to assert patent rightst to
the original LZ compression algorithm used in compress but it seems to
have blown over.

On other words it isn't part of UNIX and you don't need an expensive
UNIX source licence to get the source.

I have had a different problem with the top slot of our new R4K's. In this
slot we place an SGI floppy. The floppy seems to have trouble seating or
comes loose sometimes. The result is a PANIC during the power-on
diagnostics. The drive *seems* to be seated properly, but if I reseat it, 
the system still panics.
To fix the problem, after I reseat the floppy drive, and ensure that the
lever is all the way in place, I firmly push the floppy (sometimes with
a slight wiggle). 
This fixes the problem. I was surprised to have this happen on about 1 in
5 systems shipped to us.

Is it just ME!!!!!!!!

	We are seeing some errors on an Indigo RPC running IRIXv4.0.1
which appear to be related to the SIMMS.  It is crashing regularly
(several times per day).  It is not convenient to do chip-by-chip
testing so I thought I would ask the opinion of the list.  We have
four 4M SIMM chips in one bank for 16M of memory.

	Note that we have had this Indigo for about a year (maintenance
contract just ran out) and this started happening after it was shutdown
and power cycled.  Here are some excerpts from the SYSLOG (no other 
interesting messages) after two different crashes:

Dec  2 16:45:27 cirdan PANIC: IRIX Killed due to Memory Error

Dec  9 02:05:42 cirdan unix: Parity Error in SIMM 

	Is there a test in diag mode for checking them?  It passes the
default test without problems.  Is there a convenient way to identify
the faulty chip other than swapping them one-at-a-time?

No (to your question; yes, they can have both).  I think the

At least, I *HOPE* they are rumors, since if he saw some demo from SGI

Subject: Cfront 3.0.1 bug?
Date: 12 Dec 92 13:58:21 GMT

I just tried to compile a program that cfront 2 compiled.

I have a virtual function that is called via an element of an array
of objects. It is quite a complex situation because the array is
3-dimensional and implemented via classes (overloading "[]") rather
than a "C"-style 3-D array.

Cfront 3.0.1 generates a direct call to the function without going
via the virtual function pointer and also neglects to insert the
"this" pointer.

Only when the resulting mangled code gets through to the C compiler
is an error reported:

  accom: Error: M_particle.u, line 51: Actual parameters count 0 while
formal parameter count is 1

This looks like a bug to me.

Anyone encountered something similar?

(I can supply the source and cfront 2 and 3 output by mail on request -
probably not of general interest.)

Is there a bug report procedure if not on maintenance? Is there such a
thing as a bug on warantee repair? (Luckily the -v2 flag allows me to
revert to cfront 2.)

That message indicates that the SLIP driver is dropping bytes that do
not look like a packet.  The message is visible only when
debugging is turned on, usually by starting /usr/etc/slip with "-d"
or sometimes with `ifconfig sl0 debug`.  The message is almost always
displayed when the SLIP connection is first established.  By itself,
the message does not indicate that anything is wrong.
