Subject: Is there an ed which works for Linux?
Date: 21 Aug 92 16:25:23 +1000
Organization: Computer Centre, Monash University, Australia

Is there a working ed for linux?
I tried compiling the ed.c from the linux servers but it doesn't
seem to work properly. In fact the source code makes gcc choke; I
had to change a few expressions like
             a &= ^(1 << x);
  to
             a &= ~(1 << x);
Having fixed this, the resulting executable fails on the following:
for the text:
          #define bloggs 12345
the command:
          s/[0-9][0-9]*/5555/p        (or something similar, I don't
                                       speak ed)
produces:
          #d5555fine bloggs 12345     (or something similar)

Actually, I would be quite happy to never use ed, but web2c uses it
while making the tex system.

A thought: Is there a way to make emacs emulate ed in this type of
application ?

I've dumped core many a time, and haven't had any filesystem trouble
yet (I think! Oh no, not a Maxtor-Meltdown!)

Seriously, no trouble here. I did have some difficulty with 0.96c if
my filesystem was mostly full and core dumped - nothing a fsck wouldn't
fix, tho. Could it have something to do with compress specifically? I
have noticed that compress can't handle a file with garbage at the end.

Recommendation: tar your files, compress the tar, then *re-tar* the .tar.Z
		file - this will solve core problems with compress! If it
		don't dump core, it probably won't corrupt you

Exactly...I think that I'm going to give this guy a call tomorrow and

i apologive profusely for the delay. apparently the net connection between
our building and our main feed (internet side) blew up many internet sites
along the eastern seaboard and the powers-that-be are working trying to get
the problem resolved. i thought it would be a couple of days, or a week...
like every other time estimate in life, you need to multiply by 3 :-) anyhow,
my main connection is too slow to keep up with the gcc updates (the main
snag was the creation of shared libs), but i have been slowly keeping up
to date the x386 1.2e (compiled 1.0.2 last night). mail has ceased for the
time being since none of us thought this would last this long and the sysop
at the main site doesn't want to switch our route to uucp... please hold...

Subject: New ext fs programs
Date: 13 Aug 92 15:17:39 GMT
Organization: Laboratoire MASI - Universite Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris - France


	A new version (alpha 5) of the ext fs programs (efsck and mkefs) is
now available on ftp-masi.ibp.fr:pub/linux/extfs.  I have also uploaded it
to tsx-11.mit.edu and I hope that, soon, a directory pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs
will contain it.

	efsck and mkefs have been changed to not use a file for bad blocks.
Bad blocks are now contained in an inode which does not appear in the file
tree so there is no more risk of deleting it or backing it up.  Also, efsck
supports two new options -t for testing the fs for bad blocks and -S for
salvaging the free inodes/blocks lists even if they do not contain any
error.

	Some minor bugs have been fixed and optimizations have been included
in these two programs : they should use less memory when they run.

	Thanks a lot to Wayne Davison for his work on these two programs.

	As usual, remember that the ext fs and these programs are still in
tests and may contain bugs. Use them with caution !!!

Are you sometimes using MGR as root? MGR leaves a junk entry in file
/etc/utmp (the file where all currently logged-in users are kept).
This entry states that root is still logged in on /dev/ttyp0.
When you want to shut your system down reboot/shutdown/halt will try
to write a warning message to the control terminals of all users.
As /dev/ttyp0 is not opened for reading any more shutdown will block
when it tries to open /dev/ttyp0 for writing. However you should be
able to interrupt shutdown by pressing CTRL-C at least.

The best approach if you are dedicating your modem to this is to
set the parameters and save them in the modems non volatile
memory. If I remember right I have the following set-
echo off
hangup on dtr being dropped
no result codes
answer on one ring

I saved these and then turned on the switch that makes it ignore
at commands. This prevents the computer sending garbage to the modem
and making it do weird things.

One possible problem you may run into is that getty doesn't hold
DTR down for long enough, if your modem doesn't always hang up you
can make a shell script-
getty1
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
exec /bin/agetty $*

this will hold dtr down for 10 seconds.

Source for all the GNU stuff is, of course, available from your local
GNU repository.

The init/getty/login stuff is from poe's suite of programs, and many
of the admin-type programs (shutdown, last, write, others) are from
his admutils package.

The mount/umount/swapon stuff is from Doug Quale.  The previous
version has some small bugs, and I made some quick and ugly hacks to
get around them - Doug has said he will be making newer and presumably
cleaner mount stuff available 'soon'.

joe, the editor, is available in source on the net someplace - use
archie.

Most of the other Linux-specific programs are available in a file
called system-0.95a.tar.Z, floating around tsx-11 someplace.

If there's anything specific, you'll have to ask more specifically.

(Note:  I will eventually make my patches for the GNU utilities
available, but it's not one of my top priorities.  And before any
bonehead who thinks he knows all there is to know about the GPL wants
to squeak - refresh yourself on how long it took NeXT to make
available their patches to the GNU stuff (gcc, in particular) to
people who had *paid* them for it.)

You'd think I'd be in a better mood for someone who has been relaxing
all day.  :)

You could always hack your copy of the kernel's filesystem routines to do some-
thing like always use the negative of one of the essential paramters in the
filesystem, though changing over would be a nuisance.

But the best I've seen is something like my 5-5-91 AMI BIOS, which lets you
define the drive boot order a-c or c-a.  Set passwording on changing setup,
set c to boot first, and as long as c is bootable a won't be checked to boot
off of.  Unless they scribble on your hard drive's boot sector, it will always
boot to Linux...

Greetings fellow linux do-it-yourselfers...

I have a few questions that probably been answered, but not in the FAQ.
First, is the only way to get the kernel for shoelace to grab the
source and compile it yourself? 
Next, I have a trident card and a bus mouse, so there is currently no
windowing system readily available for me, or so it seems. Is there anywhere
to get the patched X386 (for trident) BINARY? How about a bus mouse driver
for MGR?

thanks for any info, and many thanks to all who have contributed to this
glorious project. It still amazes me that no one gets paid for any of this...

Does anyone know where I can get the latest flex, binary + source?

Cheers,

Scott.

I'm runing kermit5A on linux 0.97.1 with a modem attached to
/dev/ttys2.  But I keep on seeing a lot of garbage on the screen. Why?
Did I have to set up some thing in kermit5A.  I've do the 'set line
/dev/ttys2'  and 'set speed 9600'. I've a Scout+ modem which can do
38400 hardware handshake(cts/rts) and it works flawless under MSDOS.
Is there something missing in the setup.  I also do 'set flow rts'
still GARBAGE.  
Any clue?

Thanks

BTW: I've a 16550AFN installed and detected by the kernel correctly.
