Patch 100620-01 works fine with the bundled compilers. We're using it with
4.1.2 bundled cc now. There are zillions of different iropt binaries
in the patch, i.e. for SC1.0|4.1.1 cc|4.1.2 cc on sun3|sun4|sun4c|sun4m
(though some of these might have been links to the same file).

 We just installed 4.1.2 on a few machines, and after noticing a large amount of
.getwd files in /tmp, found that the sticky bit is turned on by default for the
/tmp directory. We turned it off.

No, the problem still exists in 4.1.2. I experienced exactly the same

I use my ~/.dbxinit it to define a set of projects. Each one is
associated with a button or menu choice. I can then click on a button
and "goto" the proper directory, read the local .dbxinit file, etc.
Since you can switch from debugging one executable to another on the
fly, it makes sense that the startup of dbx should be separated from
reading the symbol table.


You can do the same thing by adding a button that does the 
"source .mydbxinit" file on command, or make an alias for it.

Not using u or r, but you can append another tar file at the end of the tape.
Use "mt -f /dev/nrst0 eom" to skip to the end of recorded media, then start
writing a new tar file. Note that you must use the nonrewinding device name
for the tape, otherwise it will rewind as soon as it has finished skipping.

Ordinary tar does not have an option to do incrementals, at least not one that
is described in the 4.1.2 man page. GNU tar does, but I don't know much about
it.

>I have been using dump, but I need to be more specific about the directories backed up than just the raw device.

As of some version around SunOS 4.1.1, dump accepts file/directory names as
well as partition device names/mount points. So you can keep using dump if
you prefer it. Remember that there are some file types tar cannot handle 
(special files such as sockets and devices; don't know how GNU tar handles
these), so dump may well be best.

I disagree that olwm is not configurable.  Take a look at the man
page for olwm V3 -- it's loaded with resources.  Some of the things
it does not do -- like wacky things with window colors -- is due to the fact 
that they go against the OpenLook user interface specification.  A specification
which is a result of the work done in user interface research by Sun, AT&T 
and a host of others that preceded them.

We have just received an applelaserwriter IIg and have connected it to

port on the ss2 is set for 19200,8,n,1,-.  We also have transcript 2.1
installed and this is the printcap entry on the ss2:

As far as I know SunOs only clears files in tmp on a reboot, not on a
logout. The hvtmp* files are generated by HelpViewer, the PostScript
help thing that gets started up automatically from the standard
openwin-init script. If a user leaves OpenWin without explicitly
quitting the helpviewer it will not remove its tmp-file, which is only
about 800K... One solution is to remove the helpviewer from the
default startup-script.

I have recently purchased a 1:1,000,000 scale Digital Chart of the World made by
the US Defence Mapping Agency which is supplied as 4 CD-ROMS in ISO 9660 format. 
The software to display the maps is supplied as source code and IBM-PC compatible 
executables.  I intend to port the software to run  as a Sun application, but first wanted
to see what it does using the DOS executables.  I mounted the relevant data disk
(mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /dcw) and then mounted the dcw directory as disk G:
on a PC running PC-NFS version 3.0.   

  Problem:   A large number of the files on the CD list under SunOS with trailing
"." s.  For example "dht.". Under PC-NFS on the PC the same file lists as DHT with
no trailing ".". However, when you try to access it under DOS (3.2) it claims the
file does not exist. Attempts to use dht + "*" combinations also failed. 
  I then tried the same mounting proceedure using PC-NFS 4.0 and DOS 5.0.
This time the files on the CD ending with dot listed with funny characters 
under DOS - "DHT~~~JA ".   This time the file could be accessed as DHT~~~JA.
Unfortunately the DOS map view software wants to open DHT and not DHT~~~JA
so this was not much help.   Other files on the CD which end with ".DOC" and
other DOS extensions are quite OK. The troubles occur only with the files which
list under SunOS with a "." at the end of the file name. (These are accessable
through SunOS OK too)

   I tried symbolic linking the offending file names on the Sun and then mounting
the symbolic linked area. Unfortunately as might expected these links dont
appear when the area on the Sun is PC-NFS mounted to the PC.
Can anyone offer any suggestions to get around the problem or atleast
offer an explanation of why I am having so much trouble.

Thanks in advance Peter Turner

The first problem is that the pattern includes a trailing dash, and
the font names do not.

Not all of them. Some seem to use a shell style glob routine (without
character ranges, though). However, because of the recursion that is
often used for '*', patterns like '-*-*-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-m-*-*-*' can
use a fair amount of CPU time to fail on most of the fonts---on a
VAXStation 2000 with 474 full font names in the font path, it takes
half a second to find the six that do match. And since it is the
server that does the globbing, everything freezes while an application
with ten or twenty font specifications like that is starting up.

If the NeWS server uses another method, it is possibly because the
shell glob was seen to take so long. It _is_ possible to do shell
globbing without using time exponential in the number of '*'s, but
people are not usually aware of that.

Quick way put graphics on screen anytime:

	screenload <rasterfile

If this in .logout, put graphics on screen when user logs out.

(Actually, to be kind to other users:

if ("`tty`" == "/dev/console") then
        screenload <rasterfile
endif
