Does anyone know of a 
On-the-fly file compression file/disk compressiom program that is like Stacker,
SuperStor ,etc. int the public domain or shareware. I'm going
to try Diet , but there might be others I don't know about.

Someone else answered the question directly to me. If anyone is looking for the
drivers, they are at FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU in

Just in case anyone else runs nto this situation.

Well, I'm not a kid (although I do have a t-shirt that says 'computer
whiz' on it -- I'll let you imagine the graphic for yourself), but I
can tell you one thing: you're going to have to tell us a bit more
before anyone can help.

What are you doing on the mainframe before you try to up/download?
What protocol are you using?  Is it one that you need to start on the
mainframe first, and are you?

My impression of Un!xware is that it includes a license to use the
software on a single system.  What software are you planning to run on
the machines you describe as workstations?  Bundled MS-DOS?  Does
Un!xware include Novell client software for MS-DOS?  Or do you plan to
PD or proprietary networking software to run under MS-DOS.  Or perhaps
you should add $1200 for system software for the workstations.

A neighbor of ours just got a Packard-Bell 486SX for Christmas. Beside missing
half the software P-B said they'd install on it, she's had a bunch of other
hastles. Maybe someone can help me help her out.

She also bought a Start Micronics NX2420 Multifont Color Rainbow Printer. The
documentation says its compatible with the Epson 860, but will also work with
Epson 850, Lexmark Proprinter 24e and a couple other printers.

When trying to install the drivers, there are none for the Epson 860 or NX2420
that I could find.

When installing the Epson 850, it asked for a disk with DMCOLOR.DLL, I looked
everywhere and she had none. Also, when trying to load up the Proprinter 24e
driver, it asked for PROPRIN24.DRV, also we could not find.

Can someone please post or send me (uuencoded) the following:

DMCOLOR.DLL
PROPRIN24.DRV

or drivers for Start NX 2420
            or Epson 860

RE downloading from a mainframe under PC PLUS, if'n it's an IBM MF under
VM/CMS or MVS, chances are it's only up/download protocol is Kermit. If so,
you'll have to invoke Kermit on the MF, (on our system, one just types
"kermit". Then issue command to "SEND (filename) (filetype)". No quotes
or parens, of course). Then you'll get a screen (from PCPlus) telling
you selct dl protocol (select kermit) . Maybe you have to press the
[PgDn] key to invoke - I forget.  Anyway, once the two kermits handshake,
(assuming they do) you're home free. When the dl is finished, the
file will be in your PCPlus directory. Once control is passed back to
the MF, you'll have to use an "EXIT" command to get out of kermit.

-- All this assumes kermit is on the mainframe. Probably it is; it's
the main file xfer protocol out there for mf/micro xfers.

What would be the problems in porting gcc to AIX? It seems that the
C compiler for AIX is standard enough that it shouldn't be difficult
to get gcc running.  I've thought of trying this myself, as I'm just
now trying to port C code, and I've had some minor problems with the
IBM C compiler, since it doesn't quite seem to be 100% compatible
with BSD.

IRQ's on the RT are allowed to share interrupts, and most likely are
tri-state driven.  As far as I know, only slot 8 of the RT was
unique, all others were standard AT slots, and slots 3 and 6 were
XT 8-bit slots.

Here is some info on the 4-port card that I posted to a request eariler
in the year, might help..

Under AIX, and I assume AOS as well, the IBM book SA23-2605-0
shows the adapter to have the following features:

Slot positions: 2,4,5,7,8
I/O addresses:  range 1 1230-124F
                range 2 2230-224F
                range 3 3230-324F
                range 4 4230-424F
Interrupt levels: 9, 10, 11 (see note below)
Bit rates: 50 - 19200  (set by program)
Bits per character: 5, 6, 7, 8 (set by program)
Maximum number: 4

Notes:
 1)  If the RT PC 4-port Asyncronous RS-232C adapter (buffered)
     is instaled in the IBM RT PC 6192 Expansion Unit, only 
     interrupt level 9 can be used.
 2)  Interrupt levels CANNOT be shared between the system unit and
     the RT PC 6192.
 3)  All interrupt levels are shared, but interrupt level 11 cannot
     be shared with the SCSI adapter.  Also, interrupt level 9 cannot
     be shared with any of the 8-port async adapters.

Hope this helps.

This is because AIX for the IBM RT is officially dead, as of June 1990
(or perhaps '91, my memory fails me at the moment).  There is some
suport to be had at a local level (and it is minimal and sporadic), but
the folks in Texas only grok the RS/6000 these days.  I believe that
hardware maintenance dries up and blows away by '95 or '96.

Regardless, we won't give up our RT.  After all, it helps keep the office
warm, and provides a nice white-noise effect. :-)

gcc does not support AIX on the RT.  It would not be a hard port

Not exactly true, the following boards ARE supported in a RT running AIX:

  - AT Hard disk and floppy cotroller  (original 40 MB one).
     The R-40 Hard disk is the identical drive in the original AT 40 MB.
  - PC Monochrome adapter and display (IBM 5151). 
  - PC EGA adapter and display (IBM 5154).
  - AT Serial-Parallel adapter
  - PC Network adapter, original IBM PC LAN card broadband RF.
  - Ethernet adapter, Ungerman Bass made the ethernet boards for the
      RT, and these same cards do run in AT style machines.
  - AT 512KB Memory expansion card - but only in support for the
      AIX AT CO-processor card.
  - A few third party AT boards were supported by several vendors
    for a while. :-(

> Similarly, there is little software support on AT-class machines for the
> RT boards.

True.  Only those boards originaly designed for AT or PC style machines
were interchangable immediately.  Others MAY work, depending on the
design of the cards, and memory and I/O address conflicts. They of course
will need drivers and support code to be written.

Yep.  We originally used Sytos to exchange tapes between the RT and  
our PC's.

I am trying to install a non IBM scsi disk on my RT (running AOS 4.3).
I am also aware that there has been recently a discussion regarding this topic
in this newsgroup. I will be most thankful to the person who can tell me if
and where can I find old articles that were posted on this newsgroup.

			Thanks,

The bus is the same.  Unfortunately, IBM never supported any of
the standard AT boards on it (at least not in AIX).  Similarly,
there is little software support on AT-class machines for the
RT boards.

One data point though, I use IBM 6157 Streaming Tape Drive and
controller from our RT on an AT, using the Sytron backup software,
without a hitch.

Re support: since I am currently porting stuff to my RT, what I'm
planning to do is keep a list of what is necessary to do in order 
to port the software to the RT.

For example, for gnu tar, create your own mtio.h, etc....

Has anyone else already done this?

What about the RS6000 systems running  AIX??  Is the AIX similar
enough that our software problems are the same?  Or has AIX changed
so much that we're 2 different worlds?  Does subscribing to 
the aix groups provide useful information?

Has anybody a version of gcc [12]-*.* on AIX2.2.1 ?
The standard C compiler is somewhat painful to use...
Thanks
