I could if I had the things. I did it on every system I have access to,
and the only notable ones were AIX and Coherent. (SCO Xenix allows
60 files open per process, at least on the systems we have at work.)
My original posting contained the program, so if someone else wants
to know how it runs on their system all they had to do is compile it
and try.

I wish someone would comment on the point I was trying to make, though!!!!!!
Which was.... that Coherent 's creat and open routines STILL CREATE THE
FILE EVEN THOUGH THEY RETURN AN ERROR CODE.

Even when someone from MWC responded all they said was that the next
version would allow 60 files. I could not get any comment at all on
the obvious   B U G  in the system.

don't get me wrong--I LIKE Coherent and I'll continue to use it in the
forseeable future. That's why I feel compelled to point out bugs when I
see 'em so they can get fixed. It would make me, as a developer, feel
better however if MWC would acknowledge them when they are reported.

I may be confused, but shouldn't 'root' be able to read and see
ALL files on the system (outside of crypted ones, of course)? 
Well, when I go into the directory /usr/man/COHERENT my ls
aborts and says I don't have permissions as root to see any
files.  When I execute ls from above (usr/man) into that
directory, it works just fine.  Anyone has an explanation for
that?  (Yes, I know user bin will work fine).

I expect to be porting some stuff to COH in the near future. (I *really*
want to get TeX runnning).  Although I've installed other people's patches
many times, I've never actually used GNU diff/diff3 to *make* a patch file.
That is, create a list of the changes I have wrought on a piece of source
code.  Could some kind soul help me out and explain what I have
to do so someone with original sources can apply *my* patches using the
patch utility (I feel so feeble!).

Thanks,

The reason Coherent is missing a bunch of stuff is pretty simple, IMHO.
Pre 4.0 versions used 286 code.  You need a 386 to do paged virtual 
memory and to have a flat address space so you can reference a large amount
of memory.  All of which is needed for X on an Intel architecture.

So I look at 4.0 like MS-Windows 3.0.  It's the first one that actually
does anything useful.  Kind of like a commercialized beta test.  When
4.1 comes out (like MS-Windows 3.1) that will be the production
quality version.

Someone before called it "banana software -- ripens at the installation
site".  I have to agree, but that doesn't bother me.  I could either
have gotten this one and been able to start doing semi-normal Unix
things, or still be using a 286 version waiting for a full production
version with paging and crap to come out.  Now if you really want to
see banana software, try SunOS.  That has had more patches in the last
few years than I care to remember.  Face it, OS's are banana software.
They're harder to debug than apps.

Curses is just a library.  You could rewrite it yourself, or get a
copy of some source and re-port it.  Or maybe just implement the
missing functions and add them to the library.

I downloaded uusecure.tar.Z, but the uucico executable (which I assume
is the only thing that would relate to this problem) is identical to the
one already on my system.  (BTW, 'cmp' is missing from my system.  Is it
not on the distribution?)  I can't *get* Taylor; uucp won't run long
enough.

However, I have a couple of experiments left to try.  One is moving uucp
et al. to a RAM drive to see if getting the Adaptec driver out of the
way makes a difference.

You're right I am using the original make.:) Do you know if the new make

Yep, this bug has been biting me very badly too.  I WISH someone would

Well, an RS/6000 is slightly different than an Intel architecture.  On
top of which, you don't have to worry about 64K DMA boundaries.  Further,
compare the price of an RS/6000 to a 386 machine.  Something like
$60,000+ to $3,000??

I think a more interesting comparison would be between a 386 *nix like
Linux or 386BSD and Coherent.  Could you do that maybe?

  The kernel from the DDK (Release 68) seems to have the busmastering

  The floppy problems are gone at least, i.e. the drives' heads are no

  The massive character loss due to disruption of tty-I/O actions

  The ADAPTEC driver does still not provide 'globals' that might be

I've done it!!  I've done it!!  <dance, dance>

I went out and dropped way too much money on a serial port with a 16550
on board, and mwcbbs doesn't give me lost packets at 9600 baud any more.
I'm getting transfer rates of 700-750 Bps, a distinct improvement over
the 400 or so I'd been getting at 4800 baud.

So, yes, 16550s seem to solve certain problems  (though I still can't 
download using zmodem at 9600, but I'll talk to someone at the system
I'm trying to download from about that).

I have considered changing my PC's dos to UNIX.
This Coherent looks good, but is there a lot of programs for it ?

Especially some desk-top-publishing, CAD, wordprocessors and
communication programs.

How is it to run msdos programs in coherent, is it multitasked ?
(maybe lame question)
