Netland:


     Does anyone know how to read ALL ethernet packets from the
     device or if it is possible to retrieve the information from
     the "rpc.etherd" process running on the system.  The purpose
     of the inquiry is for a home grown ethernet monitor which I
     intend to create.  The monitor would need to reference the
     source address, destination address, protocol type, packet
     size, etc.  If you do have information concerning this issue
     I would appreciate it.

                              Thanks in advance,

                                        Pat

According to the man page for vmstat the "de" field stands for 
"anticipated short term memory shortfall in Kbytes".

Mike Loukides writes in "System Performance Tuning" that a
nonzero "de" number indicates "... an extremely severe memory 
shortage. The system is certainly performing desperation swapping."

A typical output of "vmstat -S 5" for a SUN 670 - 2 CPU, 128 MB - ,
that follows consistently shows a non zero "de" field and
yet w (swapped out processes), so ( swap-outs) and po (page-outs)
are always zero. Any experience with this or how "de" is determined?

There are many software packages that will do CAD file conversions. 

Of course, MicroStation can convert to/from Autocad DXF and now with NeXus
can directly read an Autocad DWG file.

There is also a company in the USA that has specilized in conversions between
CAD files.  They have software to convert between most know CAD file formats.
The company is:

I'm trying to attach a Prism printer to a 225. I think the cables OK, I tested
with an Epson printer and it worked. I'm trying to use lp to print to it. The
printer is attached to port 1. I changed the peripheral parameters in the
utility menu to 7 data, 1 stop, 9600 baud, auto Xon/Xoff, odd parity (and a
lot of variations of these). I matched these with the printer configuration
DIP switches. I modified the /etc/init.d/lp file to use tty01 and a dumb
terminal. I also tried terminal type dpq10 and prx. I'm sure the printer works.
 
The LPScheduler seems to start up fine, but when I send something using lp,
it shows temporarily in lpstat, then nothing.
 
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm posting this for a designer with an Intergraph setup.  He is not
connected to the net, and probably wouldn't know what to do with it
anyway.  I've never been near his hardware, but I gather it's stuffed with
Sparcs.  He wants to know if there is software available to convert
between other CAD file formats and Intergraph?  Please email your
suggestions and I will summarise to him and this newsgroup.

I need to run Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) on an Interpro 6040
with Clix 6.0.  I noticed that in the "fixes" for Clix version 6.0 the
slippy command was removed (to be a future package).

Has anyone compiled a public domain version of SLIP on an Interpro
workstation?

Thank you for any information you may be able to supply.  Please
e-mail responses directly to me and I will post a summary.

Nope. I would have, but I'm kind of busy and I remember someone else
saying they were doing one. I don't know who it was now.

If anyone wants to do it, I have a portable implementation of Exec lists
which I could donate to the project. It's part of a larger Amiga library
for Unix (and before you go getting excited, it doesn't emulate
intuition or graphics under X or anything :->. It only provides few Amiga
things I've found useful, like the list functions, utility.library tag
functions, and some other stuff).

The only other thing you'd have to write is a Examine/ExNext emulation
(or just rewrite the code to use the unix functions, but I'd prefer the
former--see below), and do some hacking to make BMS:PUB/ translate to
something else, and to make sure that BMS:PUB/FILES works no matter what
case it's in (since most people just request bms:pub/files or maybe
BMS:pub/files)

If someone does write a Examine/ExNext (or any other useful functions)
and would like to contribute it to the Amiga library I'd be willing to
turn the library into a freeware kind of thing and maintain it.  Contact
me if you're interested.

  Files in my uumail: directory are getting very large recently after a few

bms_err or bms_in that look like uuencoded files. I suspect they are the

  Is there some way to decode these files so I can avoid re-requesting

I have to disagree with you on that SHAR format.  Mainly because I
can't find a decent one that will run on my Amiga.  And I expect I
am not th eonly one having that problem. So better count me out on
this one.

> 2. Binaries should be UUENCODED within the SHAR (exception: BITNET?).

I've found most posts to be totally binary as people tend to create
an LHA archive and then UUEncode that. I don't think SHARring would
provide much smaller posts. It will only add an extra burden to the
person doing the post.  (It would make posting extremely difficult,
if not impossible for me, as I have no access to SHAR!)

> 3. Part 1 should have a README in front of it (about a page in length).

Here I do agree with you, but don't fix a poster on the size. That
depends on the complexity of the program. I don't think my NoCFM or
Sub2FN warrant a full page README. On the other hand GRn 1.16f just
might to name all new features. [HINT, HINT :-)] 

> Things left out of the standard:
> 1. If posting an archive, which archiver is standard (ZOO, LHA, ...)?

I'd say for Amiga the best choice would be LHA, as both LZ and LhA
can handle virtually any LZH/LHA format I've seen. Which is not the
case with ZIP, PAK or ARJ formats. :-( The only consideration might
be to use LZH encoding as to enable people at work with UN*X boxes
to also being able to de-archive it. To the best of my knowledge
there is no LHA compatible de-archiver on the UN*X platform. Please
correct me if I'm wrong though...

So if we could maybe reach at a standard header for posts in a.s.a.u.p
I think everybody would be happy. How about the following idea?

Archive Header for a.s.a.u.p

1. Program      : (Name, version, date information)
2. Purpose      : (A short description of what the program does)
3. Requirements : (What does the program need? 2.04, 68030 etc.)
4. Archiver used: (LHA, ZOO, ARC PAK etc.)
5. Contents list: (List of files in the archive)

Additions or modifications are of course welcome...

CYa, Paul

You need GRn 1.16E, which is up for BMS from my machine. It's in
the directory File:A_UUC, as the following files:

GRn-1.16e-bin.LhA
GRn-1.16e-src.LhA

[For BMS, register my machine as moose.cs.indiana.edu!charon!anaconda]

A new BMS site is now operating... Tower.Demon.Co.Uk

As usual get `bms:pub/Files' for the entire listing (size ~65k) or
`bms:pub/Files.lha' for the compressed version.

Mark.

It   is  availible  from  thumper.bellcore.com  via  anonymous  ftp.   BTW,
AM1.14beta also supports MIME. It is availible from ftp.uni-kl.de

Thanks for the reply, but I have checked this file also and DOTDIRS
has been removed. The thing is I can post articles OK but I cannot
subsequently read them or indeed any other article. Could someone
using this reader with UUCP 1.16D and WB2 please post me their
.arn* files for perusal, or failing that recommend another reader to
try. I have the archives for Ann, Barn, Rn and Vn but would like
to concentrate on one at a time. I suspect Barn does not support
a hierarchical news database, Rn came with absoultely no docs and
would appear to have been lifetd from the AXsh package since it
is looking for various files under that assignment.
Any help with ARn greatly appreciated

Regards

Try: UUEncode >File.uu FileName.lzh FileName.lzh

The second FileName.lzh is the name that the UUencoded file will UUDecode into,
you might want this different (for example a shorter filename for a MS-DOS
environment). It appears in the first line of the output.
