	You could also try opening up the case and clean out all of the dust
from the ventilation slots.  Giving the fan assemblies a good dusting doesn't
hurt either.  I had this kind of situation a while back, and while cleaning
the case (7300), I found that it was quite clogged on the inside.  After
getting the dust out of the air ways the fans returned to running at the
low speed except on fairly hot days (LA can get pretty hot |-}).
	IMO don't spend the money or the time if you can keep the OEM stuff
til it is used up.

	Dont Bother!  It is part of the warehouse full of 7300s deal.  Aside
from the 7300s, and foundation sets (3.51), there was some comm software
that ran both on the 7300 and PClones (different packages for each, of
coures), and IN/ix, which, I think, was a unix version which would run (as
well as could be expected) on a XT (and some clones).

	The software package under discussion isn't for the 3b1/7300, but
the thread derived from one that *IS* germane to the 3b1.

	No, 3.51m is mostly 3.51, with soem programs replaced, but the
shared libs are unchanged.  You still need to run dstconvert.

	Simple, the legislative fiat which moved the starting time for DST,
didn't bother changing the *end* time, so your machine would get that one
right.

>this discrepancy.

	Do so.  That should fix your problems.  (Be sure to reboot after
changing the shared libs, or your programs will continue working from the
in-memory copy, which your changes won't touch till the reboot.

	Good Luck

Computer Shopper isn't a good place (obviously) because MFM drives are not
mass market items these days (IDE, SCSI are).  Try to get a hold of Computer
Hot Line (the subscription for it expired here).  At the time when Seagate
purchased CDCs DD division, the original CDC drives were selling for as low
as $200.00.  (From an old issue) Try (818)700-9192, or (201)208-1131 [(201)

Organization: texrex - Personal 3b1 System - Dallas, TX
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 1992 04:47:04 GMT


Has anyone written an implementation of wait3(), waitpid(), or
even wait4() for the unixpc? 

I usually look in software packages such as cnews, perl, etc..
when I need to emulate a certain function call that I don't have.
Many of the authors include emulations for some functions that may 
be missing in some operating systems.  I can't find wait3() anywhere.

Does everyone keep their own liblocal.a (or similar) with missing routines?   
As I run across fake or emulated routines that may come in handy sometime, I 
add them to my liblocal.a.  Then, if I get an undefined symbol error, I slap 
a '-llocal' on my compile line.

Currently my liblocal.a looks like:

	$ ar tv /usr/lib/liblocal.a

	rw-r--r--   102/   100    472 Mar 21 23:54 1991 dup2.o
	rw-r--r--   102/   100    486 Jul 13 04:33 1991 vprintf.o
	rw-r--r--     0/     0    434 Jul 17 22:10 1991 gethostname.o
	rw-r--r--     0/     0   3716 Jul 18 21:07 1991 doprnt.o
	rw-r--r--     0/     0    426 Nov 20 23:31 1991 vfprintf.o


It would be nice to collect other missing routines you may have ran
across over the years.  Do any of you have a library full of routines
that may be useful to others?  If so, I'd like to see the source code
here or maybe comp.sources.3b1 would be better.

Help! My unix-pc crashed and I need help figuring out what is wrong...

System Specs:
AT&T unix-pc (not 3b1)
20 meg original hard drive
1 meg RAM
no expansions, extras added

I was using my computer when I suddenly got a panic about some DMA error.
I hit the reset button, and it restarted, then complained that "Stored
files had been damaged" and it would attempt to fix them for me.  Then
it would not boot at all.  I turned off the power switch and waited a few
minutes. 

When I turned the power on the hard drive would not boot, but I can boot
the diagnostics disk fine.  Ok, so I ran a full system check and it
keeps coming up with the error: "WINCHESTER: Can't Recal: Response=4"
every time it needs to access the hard drive (for the hard drive test,
and when it trys to park the heads...).  It sounds to me like my hard
drive is dead.  Can anyone verify my suspicions?  Is there some more
testing I can do before I rush out to get a new (faster & larger) hard drive?
I am a little afraid of opening up the case and poking around, but could it
be that the connecter just came loose?

And, are there any methods I can use to recover the data on my hard drive?
(I have an old backup on floppy, but there is stuff I didn't back up, too)

Any help would be appreciated by email or news, thanks

On this thread (DOS-73 programs known to work (or not)), my wife bought
a Sharp OZ-8000 organizer (about 4"x7"x0.5" box for telephone nos.,
memos, etc.), and I got (for peace of mind) the PC comm kit for same.
This consists of a cable with funny end for the Sharp, and a normal
RS-232 at the other end; and a big piece of software for the PC.  It
allows you to dump the Sharp and reload it; or even to manage your
files on the PC (in intelligible ASCII, even!) and download to the
Sharp.  Enough description; this ain't a testimonial or sales pitch.

The software ran OK on my old original IBM PC.  But on DOS-73, after
all the questions about installation from its own INSTALL.EXE, when I
ran it, it died.  Screen fell silent, and I had to dig out from under
DOS-73.

I'd really like to run this on DOS-73 rather than the PC.  I keep the
3b1s lit all the time, vs. about 5 min. to fire up the PC, and I've
got much more disk space on the 3b1s.

Has anyone else tried the Sharp comm. package for the OZ-8000 on the
DOS-73 board?  I suspect the display is just far enough off, or
something like that.

Down where I live (southern California), we've been on DST (daylight
savings time) since last Sunday, Apr 5.  The DECstations at school
all started saying DST.  The 386 running ESIX SVR3 that I call into
says it's DST.  But my poor old 7300 still insists the date/time is:

Fri Apr 10 22:58:30 PST 1992
                    ^^^

What gives?  I KNOW that I have it set that Daylight Savings Time is used
in my region, and /etc/TZ does say its PST8PDT.  but try as I might, I can't
get it to recognize the fact that its daylight savings time.

I'm running version 3.51m

Could it be that my clock battery is dead?

Reply-To: dburr@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Donald Burr)
Organization: NixBBS Public Access UNIX, Carpinteria, CA


I like the System V way of doing cron -- individual files for each user's
cron jobs (i.e. a file named "root" with all of root's cron entries, a
file named "news" for all of news's entries, etc.)  Also, each user's
file would be executed with the UID set to that user, so you don't have
to put stuff like "su news -c '/usr/local/lib/newsbin/input/newsroun'"
in there.

Unfortunately, both my current system (AT&T 7300 Unix-PC) and my previous
system had BSD-like crons, with only /usr/lib/crontab and you would have
to put entries like "su news -c '/usr/local/lib/newsbin/input/newsrun'"

Is there source for a "real" SysV-like cron daemon out there?  (well,
I'm sure AT&T Toolchest has some, but for that you have to pay.. ;-( )
and if so, where can I get it from?  (what FTP site, filename, etc.)

Please send replies to dburr@gnu.ai.mit.edu, as noted above.
Thanks in advance for any help!

i want to thank all those who have replied. however, there is a

i am running 3.51m. i thought that the dst problem was fixed in it. is

I have encountered a problem while compiling a program written (by me)
on another machine. I have a line like:

	sum += b[i] = expression;

and the compiler fails complaining about an allocation error, op = STAR
(something like that). If I change it to:

	b[i] = expresssion;
	sum += b[i];

everything is fine. There are no syntactic errors and it compiles on
other machines (including on a PC). This is standard K&R C stuff,
nothing real complicated and its a pain in the bum. 

I presume there is a bug in the compiler and there isn't anything I can
do about it. I have a stock 3b1 with 3.51 OS and development set. I am
about to upgrade to 3.51m, which I suppose may help, but if there is
anything else I can do, I would be grateful for advice.

Thanks.

Subject: Connecting a US Robotics HST MODEM to a 7300 __THE ANSWER__!

Finally after many failed attempts for help from this and other groups on
the perplexing problem of connecting the USR HST to my 7300, the answer
came quite by accident!

It is all in thew cable.  The "hayes' setting is used and the cable must
have only the following pins in use...

As you face the front (pin side) of the rs-232 modem cable

Pins 1 - 8 on the top (longer) row of the 25 pin connector 
Pin  7 _ONLY_ on the lower (shorter) row of pipins 

If you have any MORE or any FEWER pins connected, the modem will not
function.

Hope this helps if anyone is also interested.
