        If you want to invest you money in Russian industry, land,
raw materials etc. then the best way is to purchase "privatization cheques"
or vouchers. We can sell them to you for nominal price equal to $25.
According to western experts' estimates their real price is about $200.

The problem with this math is the following:
A voucher oficially costs 10,000 rubles. The free market price is 5,000
rubles. The official exchance rate is 400 rubles/$1. The free market 
exchange is 500 rubles/$1. So we're talking about $10 per voucher on a free
market. Granted, $25 is not such a bad price, still you can do better.

Now, the big question is, once I get a bunch of vouchers, what exactly do 
they entitle me to? A plot of land? Where?

On the more humorous note, I heard that Moscow prostitutes accept vouchers as
official payment for their services. So, them vouchers might be more legitimate
than I tk they are. I'm just curious how many vouchers they take for what 
specific services?

If 'telinit 1' is done from other than the console tty (usually tty01)
then telinit will change syscon to the present tty.  Rerunning telinit
from tty01 will "fix" this.

The same here (MEZ-1MESZ). Use setclock(ADM) to set the realtime clock 
without GMT offset.
             setclock `date +%m%d%H%M`

I havn't found GMTOFFSET. Where did you find it ?

I am posting for a friend, but please do respond via email to
me (as he is not on the net).  

In essence, my friend has just installed SCO 3.2, and he is
attempting to compile CNews to handle a uucp newsfeed.  He was
(as far as we could determine) using the proper dependencies,
however, it just died on linking (or possibly late into compiling).
The eventual death was due to a series of function prototypes
which apparently collided somewhere (umask was a recurring problem).

My question is, can someone either point me to a source package
that has been built around SCO, or a binary package for SCO?  ANy
help appreciated.

Does anyone know how to pick up the system console messages from a
remote computer where I can't get at the system console.
I can log into this computer using rlogin, and I would like
to make myself the system terminal for all those nasty messages
which I'm missing?

Thanks

I keep a calendar of events following DLP's history.  The 
following popped up today:


11/23/83-Model 16a (Radio Shack) Computer, no hard drive, $5,920

        12 Meg Hard Drive to go with it                   $2,545

This system ran XENIX from Radio Shack which was originally
ported by SCO to the 68000 processor.

If you are IP connected and 3.2.4 with the latest TCP/IP you can have the
syslog daemon forward any class of messages to the syslog daemon on your
machine. 

For example on my test machine wolfe:

    *.debug				/dev/console
    *.warning				/usr/adm/syslog
    *.info				@vanbc.wimsey.bc.ca

On vanbc:

    *.notice				/usr/adm/syslog
    *.warning				/dev/tty1a
    *.notice				/dev/tty2a
    news.info				/usr/local/lib/nntp/nntp.log

So I get all messages on the terminal on tty2a and all of the serious ones
on tty1a (from both machines).

   One of our clients is looking for a fax product that runs under SCO
Unix that will integrate directly with WordPerfect.  They require most
of the typical functions (they don't require inbound fax capability,
but they need the ability to run more than one outbound line, do long-
distance at night if desired, restrict who can send long-distance
faxes, etc.).  They also want it to appear as a printer on WordPerfect's
Shift-F7 menu, and have the system ask them for the information for
routing (phone number, possibly contact name).  This last one is the
only one we haven't found yet.

   For those of you who are using a fax server product and WordPerfect,
I'd appreciate hearing what you're using and how well they integrate.
I already know of some products that provide an interface similar to
the standard lp, and some that appear as printers under lp, but I doubt
either one can be configured to integrate as well with WP as they
would like.

advTHANXance!

Presumably you mean SCO UNIX 3.2v4.1 -- R3.2, you'll note.  Anyway...
this is caused by installing the RLP package twice.  The installation
scripts leave a fair amount to be desired.  During RLP installation, it
saves away copies of your original lp* binaries, and replaces them with
RLP versions.  The RLP versions rely on the original binaries.
Unfortunately, if you install RLP a second time, it dutifully moves its
own binaries into the save area.  After this, certain lp binaries (at
least lpstat, probably others) go into infinite fork loops.

To fix: remove RLP, remove LPR, reinstall LPR, reinstall RLP only once,
configure.

This is intended to be corrected in later versions of everything.

When running /etc/conf/bin/idmknod, I get the message 
"idmknod: ttyp<nn>: Can not make node. errno = 17" where <nn> = 00 to 07.
I get this message even if I delete the existing nodes before running 
idmknod. 

The nodes are apparently created properly, but I can't login properly
through these nodes - I get the login prompt, but typing in a valid user
name (which does not have a password) gives me back the login prompt. 
I have tried giving the user a password, but then I get "Login incorrect" 
after typing the password each time.

Help !
