Yes, I know that the man page doesn't mention scripts, and I also know
that you have to explicitly enable #!-processing in the kernel config
for it to work (we don't have it enabled, that *is* one idea to
try...). This isn't a problem with #!-interpretation, as the scripts
are Bourne shell scripts, which (as far as I know) is the default
shell.

We also tried to exec the scripts using by execing '/bin/sh -c
scriptpath', it doesn't affect the problem in any way -- the system
still goes into a no-scripts-executed state at some point.

Also, exec(2) *does* know how to execute shell scripts directly ... it
does it perfectly well for a long time. The thing is, it stops doing
it at some point. What is the "official & correct" method under SCO
the start up shell scripts from a program, BTW? Should you exec() it
directly or via /bin/sh -c? Is there a difference? Not that it matters
to our problem :-(

It still looks like a kernel bug. Prove me wrong. Please. :-)

I tried to compile libg++2.3.2 on DELL Unix.

It seems, that the c++ compiler produces  a wrong assembly file,

Has anybody the same experiences or/and a bugfix?

P.S.: I compiled the stage1 gcc2.3.2 compiler with gcc2.2.2 to prevent an
internal compiler error (occured by making the stage1 compiler with cc).

thanks for any help

Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1993 14:19:43 GMT



Hi,

First of all here is the relevant versions of software:

FlexGen 3.0 "for Xenix/Unix Operating System", WinQVT 2.18, Novell 2.15 using
SMC Ethercard 16 cards, Consensys V4.2.1, Windows 3.1 with pktint, in enhanced
and standard mode, DOS 5.0. (Whew). 

The problem is while in FlexGen when a function key is pressed it doesn't
always come through whole. For example, the terminal type generally used is
VT102, which is defined as being the help key in FlexGen. Most times, when F1
is pressed, the user gets help. However, sometimes the codes for the key come
through (IE, OP for F1). It seems like a pause of some sort is being
introduced in between the escape code and the key sequence.  

The problem does NOT occur while on the system console, or using NCSA Telnet..


It seems to be worse on a 386sx-16 system then it is on a 386DX-40, though it
may not be speed related since different versions of DOS are being used.

Does any one know of a fix, or alternatively if you have a similiar setup have
you (or have you not) witnessed this problem? Any suggestions?

Is there any way to contact the author(s) of WinQVT? It seems like good
software and we want to use it throughout our organization, but a P.O. box is
not exactly our idea of "good support". Is there an alternative to WinQVT? I
know WinQVT is reasonably priced, but sometimes it's worth it to pay more if
you get some support.. just not too much more :) We're looking for Windows
based software, and something that has a macro language would be excellant.

Well, I have it up on Microport SVR4.  Been using it for over a year.

Unless ESIX has changed things, it is ditroff.  The changes to get
psroff up are trivial.

	- In the top level Makefile, set T2DIR and RTMACDIR to
	  /usr/ucblib/doctools/tmac
	- In the top level Makefile, set FONTDIR to
	  /usr/ucblib/doctools/font
	- In the top level Makefile, choose the second alternative
	  for STARTSHELL.
	- You need to get 'mkfont' from the comp.sources.misc
	  archives (Volume 2).
	- In lib/psrofflib.S, set troff to '/usr/ucb/troff', and
	  comment out all the unnecessary definitions.
	- You'll need to define a 'dlj' entry (compare 'lj3' and 'dlj3'
	  as an example.  In the 'lparg' definition, change '-og'
	  to '-T simple -r'

You'll also have to worry about site-dependent stuff like installation
directories and printer names, etc.

Don't worry about it.  You've got ditroff, and psroff will generate

Chip - a question if I may.

A few years back when I had some long documents that weren't
printing to the end because the spooler interface program
exited and reset the ports, I put a line in rc.d to run an stty
on the port at boot time, and then sleep for 5 minutes,
then run again.

This worked fine with the spooler, and I had to do the same
thing a year or so ago on a Specialix port that was running
Nexus Scripsit and FilePro.   The Scripsit had it's own
interface that I couldn't seem to get right.   Don't know for
sure, but the rc.d thingy fixed it - had to get the
rstflow/ctsflow set for a strange printer.

Would this concept work for the device that is printing
directly to the port?     My mind says   yes - no - yes -maybe
-maybe not.

Or to word it another way, when writing directly to the port,
are all the settings that stty initiated ignored?

-

And I agree about the aps that write directly to the port.  I
had to give a person the bad news that he was stuck with his
machine and hardware, because the software was writing directly
to a multi-port board long discontinued.    I couldn't figure
out what was happening at first when I found that all the
terminals were running but no ports were enabled :-(

Subject: Couple of Dell v2.2 questions
Organization: Mark-One Public Access UNIX (+44 942 273926)
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 01:14:49 GMT

Right, I've removed my DOS partition from my disk and reinstalled from floppies
and got the Dell install to partition the disk as one unix file system 
(increasing the unix up to the whole disk's 640M). I've re-installed all the
data from a cpio tape backup. However, this has pulled back the /etc/partitions
file from the old filesystem which is incorrect for the new resized root, 
/home systems. How can I rebuild this file to reflect the new setup?

Also, on a related note. If there's no easy way to do the above then I can
look how the install script on the boot disk manages to make the partitions
file on a new disk. However, what is the command line to mount the boot
disk and look at the files on it (I know I could boot from it and look at it
that way, but that's a little crude). There are so many floppy device files
around and I've not been able to find the correct one.

Thanks in advance.

Why are you not using the HPDD configuration to configure the tape drive.
I have installed something like 10 different tape drives using the
HPDD configuration without a problem.

to do this just go into the HPDD configuration, boot controller 
config, set the parameters (yes, you need to remember them and 
set them), select basic device config, change the entries for target
1 and 2 to DISK and the entry for target 4 to TAPE.  Then you are 
done.  Just rebuild, install, reboot and the tape device is created.

The HPDD will configure a device with the name /dev/rmt{ctrlr}t{target},
so assuming you put the tape on your first controller, the node would be
named /dev/rmt0t4.

This is too easy to do to need a program.  A simple shell script will
work.  On a spare serial port, connect the power fail contact so that
it raises DCD when it is time to shut the computer down.

In a shell script, do approximately the following:

echo "foo" >/dev/ttyxx

/etc/init 0  (or shutdown or whatever it takes to do it.

What happens is the first command blocks on the port until DCD is asserted.
When it is asserted, eg, it is time to shut down, the next command 
makes it happen.  to make absolutely sure this script is always running,
start it from /ect/iniitab with a "respawn" flag.

Over the weekend I talk the first faltering steps toward getting SLIP up
and running on the home machine. This morning, the box is showing signs 
of ill health.

If uugetty is enabled on /dev/ACU1, X will not init correctly. It dies
with a "no more proecesses" error. The number of other gettys running
doesn't appear to have any effect.

If I bring up X, and then spawn a uugetyy from an xterm, X goes into a
brain dead state. It will acknowledge the keyboard but not the mouse.
Given that I'm running uwm (twm *still* won't accept keybaord input) this
means I need to reset the box to loosen things up.

Two Questions:

1) has anyone seen this behavior before ?  what is likely to have changed to
	have caused the problem ?

2) assuming that it may be time to get a current version of the software,
	what is the current best price and/or upgrade policy for ISC ?

Thanks much,

Jack
