Usually when Unix utilities output lame error messages such as this
one, the number that they print is simply the value of errno after a
failed system call.  (Never mind that perror() has been around for
years and years.)  INTRO(2) shows that error number 11 (at least on
Esix SVR4) is EAGAIN (No more processes).  That would fit with the fact
that it doesn't fail every time.

Increase the kernel parameter MAXUP (maximum allowed number of user
processes at any given time), and rebuild your kernel.  See manual
sections IDTUNE(1M) and IDBUILD(1M) for information about how to do
that.

For what it's worth, I use MAXUP=60 on my system.

 Because it's in /usr/lib/uucp, rather than /uucp, or /usr/spool, rather
than /spool.

 I just kind of hate these root directories with 100 different directories
within them.  Seems rather unorganized...

 Ok, so I kind of prefer structured directory trees.

 Like why don't windows programs go into a directory within C:\windows?
like c:\windows\bin\amipro, for instance...

 Amipro's a bad example, it has a proper installation program.

I doubt this very much. I think that Novell see Unix not as competition
but as salvation, as Novell (and AT&T) are scared dead by Windows NT.

If Windows NT, that is positioned by Microsoft for high end workstations
and *file servers*, takes hold, than Microsoft will own the network
market too -- Windows NT is about LANmanager, not NetWare.

So Novell have had a consistent strategy to take on/shadow Microsoft for
the past few years, in order to offer a comepletely alternative line.
This is the logic, I think, behind both the DRDOS and the Unix
acquisitions.

I have the impression that Novell hate the guts of Microsoft, not just
because they are competitors; it's also because Novell became what they
are despite Microsoft.

It is a little known fact that MSDOS's remote file system interface, the
"redirector", is a trade secret of Microsoft, and is not publicly
documented. Microsoft only licenses the "redirector" interface specs to
whom they want and at their conditions.

Novell has gone to some length to avoid using the redirector interface
in their NetWare clients.

What they have now is that Novell controls an almost full line of
alternatives to Microsoft's:

low end PC:		MS-DOS			DR-DOS
graphics PC:		Windows 3.1		???
low end servers:	LANmanager OS/2		NetWare
graphics servers:	Windows NT		Destiny/4.2/Uniware

The only product missing in Novell's lineup is a GUI (DR's GEM would be
there, but it is manifestly useless); I would not be surprised if Novell
bought out DesqView/X too; even if the recent moves to 4.2 as a low
price, user friendly lightweight offering may mean that it was being
positioned as a Windows 3.1 alternative too.

I only hope that the very fierce competition between Novel and Microsoft
results in Microsoft being less arrogant.

I agree with Larry; it is not necessary to post a separate, detailed

But, surprise, while the base UnixWare is fairly cheap, the server

It is also more convenient to run (you get a timesharing system *and* a

I'd say within 234 months CDROM will become the pre-dominant media for distribution
of DOS software. That will push the envelope for 386 UNIX as well. You can already
get SCO on CD-ROM. Within a year or two it will dominate for all of the low end
UNIX products. It costs less. It's less prone to piracy (not immune, but a little
harder). Look for someone like SCO or Univel to basically make CD-ROM the standard
format with tape extra $$ and floppies extra $$ * 2.

Faced with a decision - $200 for CD-ROM drive or $100 for Floppy distribution kit - 
which would you choose?

Wait several hours while you use the machine heavily, creating and

Then try to undelete command.com.  Or, just reboot the computer

  Dell must have a GB of mail on that topic, they support two media,
each less common than the other for PCs. Installing on a laptop is
always an adventure, you don't normally have tape, they don't believe in
floppies, they don't support the little eithernet thing that hooks to
the parallel port so you can use their excellent net install...

  If there's one thing SCO does right, it's ship on the media you want
to use... tape, CD, floppy, etc. Dell doesn't believe in floppies or CD,
but if you have a half-slot in a laptop and can drop in an 8003 net card
you can install in minutes.

  UNIX is a great idea being sold by companies who couldn't sell fast
food in Somalia. Every company either disregards the idea of low price
volume sales, or thinks UNIX is a funny thing to sell hardware, or wants
to sell only on popular media like punched paper tape.

Gosh this sounds familiar.  I did almost exactly the same thing.  Spent
about 3-4 hours installing *everything*, then ran through their script
to change the display type from a standard VGA type to something that
would make use of my 1024x768 256 color display card (Orchid) but
guessed wrong on which one would work.  The result on reboot was a system
that I couldn't do anything with.  The install instructions didn't
point out that if anything went wrong your console would be unusable,
nor did they give any method of recovering.  Poking around later in
some of the display setup stuff on disk did give an explicit obscure
sequence which could be used to abort X and drop back to a pure text
login: prompt.  Anyway, the only way I could recover at the time was
to do a complete reinstall again.

I have an HP35470A DAT drive which does NOT support compression.  It can
read the Dell issue 2.2 DAT distribution tape just fine.  I was also able
to read the tape on a borrowed Archive Python.  I *did* have a lot of trouble
with SCSI termination and parity checking so you might want to check that
out.  I have also had heat problems with the HP drive which causes random read
failures after about an hour of continuous use (and only if I leave my system
uncovered so that the fan does not draw air around the drive).  Other than
that I see no reason why the Wangdat won't work.  It could just be mis-aligned.

But if you are going into "the future" why drag along the past?  Most
of the cheap drives are missing two key components for "future' 
multimedia stuff:  XA compatibility and multisession playback
capabilities.  And the future is now - the CDROM forum in 
CompuServe is rather busy these days with folks complaining that
their drive will not work with the new stuff.

You >can< tell it not to do that.  You have to then specify the partition
sizes yourself however (how should it know if you don't tell it)?

anything on it.  

But that is not your only choice!
