	Have you changed the default shell for root?  If it is not /bin/sh
various strange things happen, including problems with things run from
crontab.  If you have the *best* version of ksh - *not* the one that comes
with 3.51, *not* the upgraded version from 3.51m, but the one from the "THE
STORE" section of the archives, you can get away with renaming /bin/sh to
/bin/bourne-shell or something like that, and then "ln /bin/ksh /bin/sh".

	Since that version of ksh is mostly a proper superset of /bin/sh,
most things work, but certain cleanup scripts are a danger.  I don't
remember whether it is one of the uucp scripts, or the general system
cleanup script, but it can fail in a *very* undesireable way.  I believe
that it was Thad Florian who posted about this problem about a year ago.

	It is generally safer to have an alternate root account that runs
the shell of your choice, but have the one named 'root' *first*, and with
/bin/sh as its shell.

	If you *are* using /bin/sh as the root shell, then it is back to the
guessing game, unless someone else turns up useful information.

	Good Luck

I am not sure I understand everything Kris is saying, not ever
having used nroff/troff - but I defend his right to say it :^)

Seriously: Keep in mind that the novice is more likely to need the
	   information in FAQ, so, while structuring it for ease of
	   maintainance, don't make it difficult for dummies like
	   me to get at it. If it is published periodically as in
	   the past, I have no argument. If there is an optional
	   format that makes it easier to print a useful hard copy,
	   OK. 

	BUT -

	   IF publishing is streamlined into a more compact form
	   that requires uncompressing or use of some esoteric (to
	   the novice) technique to make it useful/readable BE SURE
	   TO PUT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUCH "UNBUNDLING" IN AS
	   SIMPLE A FORM AS POSSIBLE AT THE VERY BEGINNING. (I'm
	   sure everyone has joked about the unpacking instructions
	   that are packed in the very center of the carton. DON'T

	Folk,
	OK, I have a wd2010 enroute to Castle Fritz, and I intend to install 
it ASAP with my machine.  Much of the reference material available concerning 
upgrading to this controler chip (just the chip at present, not additional 
disks or a P5.1 mod) mentions updating the VHB (Volume Header Block).  
However, I have not been able to find out how this is done without 
reformating the drive.  I have checked the fast disk driver, HWNotes, and the 
DRUN data, as well as the faq.	I have also looked at the manual page for 
iv(1m), which is less than clear, but does have the "-u":update VHB and "-d":
get current description options.
	I assume that there is some way of simply using fsdb from a floppy 
boot to tweak the byte in the VHB that needs tweaking.  It is a byte, I 
looked at /usr/include/sys/gdisk.h (not gonna fall into THAT trap |-} ).
	My question is this, since I am using OS rev 3.51m which can 
determine the presence of a wd2010 do I need to do anything?  Will the 
kernel update the VHB along the the superblock upon the next sync?  If I use 
the fast disk driver, does this obviate the need to directly twiddle the 
VHB?  Am I a babe in the woods without a clue?

					Enquiring minds want to know,
					Fritz

PS: What is a "Spurious Interrupt level 2"?  I seem to be getting a set of 
three at boot time according to unix.log.  This is only on boot, and they 
always appear in groups of three.  Am I doomed?

Our kernel does not support symbolic links.  BSD added it although many

One file, two names.  Look at compress/uncompress/zcat, it's the same file
with 3 names.  I'd call links a feature.  Not having symlinks is just
another "it's not in the kernel" issue.

No, alias is used for commands, not filenames

Also,
link is a system call , ln is a shell command.  ln uses link.

	Tgetent (and the other termcap functions) are in the shared lib, but
not in the static lib (/lib/libc.a), so your choices are to build with the
shared libs (some switch to gcc such as -shlib or -sharedlib to do this), or
to get the source to the termcap library.  (looking in my /usr/lib I find a
libtermcap.a, but no clue as to how I got it there.  Perhaps it came with
the development system, perhaps I extracted it from shlib following someone
else's posted advice, I don't remember.

	I have built sc on the 3b1, but it is sc version 6.15, so I suspect
that you have an older version.  I have also built it on the Suns I have,
and I had to compile it in the SysV universe to make it easy to compile, so
you should have no real problems once past the termcap stuff.  (Almost
everything in the termcap lib is in a single module, termcap.o The others
are tgoto.o and tputs.o.)

>Note: Two other methods of moving the cursor (h,j,k,l and ^P,^B,^F,^N) work

	It also may depend on the entry in your /etc/termcap being up to
date.  There was an improved entry posted a couple of years ago.  You also
may need to upgrade your terminfo database for the 3b1.

	Good Luck

   Are you sure about that? Zmodem is an extension of Ymodem,
which is an extension of Xmodem. The Zmodem sources that I've
seen can also do Ymodem by linking to another filename. Ymodem
will fall back to Xmodem if necessary, which means you can use it
with Umodem (but Zmodem is better if you can get it). I'm not
sure offhand if Zmodem will fall back to Ymodem (and from there
to Xmodem), but I think it can.

	I do have a pascal-compiler for  miniframe. I have been

	with this box so miniframe programs should run ok
	on 3b1, including pascal-compiler.

	It's old, it follows UCSD pascal standards but it works well

IF THAT IS THE WAY I WROTE THAT POSTING, I SHOULD BE SHOT. I KNOW BETTER
THAN TO MAKE AMBIGUITIES. I USED TO BE A TECH WRITER.

THE CAD PACKAGE IS PUBLIC DOMAIN. THE CAD PACKAGE WAS WRITTEN BY THE
PHYSICS PROF IN TENNESSEE. IT IS CALLED ""MINICAD"".

PAINT POWER IS ONE OF THOSE FORMERLY COMMERCIAL PACKAGES THAT IS NOW IN
LIMBO. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BUY IT FROM AT&T OR ANY DEALER. MINE WAS GIVEN
TO ME IN FRONT OF A USER''S GROUP BY AN AT&T TECH WHO SAID AT&T DIDN'T CARE
ANY MORE. TECHNICALLY AT&T HOLDS THE COPYRIGHT. BUT CONSIDER THIS:

	FOR A DISCONTINUED MACHINE HAVING NO SUPPORT, SHOULD I PAY
	SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR SOFTWARE THAT ALSO HAS NO SUPPORT?
	AND, IF I REFUSE TO BUY THE SOFTWARE, BUT WILL USE A COPY, AM I 
	DEPRIVING AT&T OF ANY MONEY? I REPEAT, IF I CANNOT GET A COPY, I
	WILL NOT BUY ONE, THEREFORE I AM NOT SUBSTITUTING A COPY FOR
	POTENTIAL PAYMENT. A BUSINESS THAT MAKES SEVERAL COPIES IN HOUSE
	OF SOFTWARE THAT *IS* ON THE MARKET AND *IS* SUPPORTED - RATHER
	THAN PAY - **IS** - WITHHOLDING REVENUE FROM THE SOFTWARE COMPANY.

Maybe this''ll start a "war" but them is my sentiments.

Summary:: The Tennessee PProf might write something to indicate MiniCad is
public domain. However, he is pretty busy and I have a hard time catching
him even when I blow a phone call. If sosmeone feels strongly enough about
it, you can call or write:

		Munther Hindi
		571 Crestwood Drive
		Cookeville, TN 38501
		615-526-5867

		He sold MiniCad via
		MiniGraphics Software
		using the above address.

For Paint Power, you are on your own.

Been too long since I used ATE 3.5 but I think it allows you to use the
'UMODEM' program to do file transfers.  The Umodem program is xmodem
compatible.

Look again at your FAQ and find that there is the Ohio State University

to exist there in binary form as well.

You should be able to also use 'cu' to 'call up' your favorite computer.
'cu -s2400 -l/dev/tty000 5551212' will MAYBE work. (putting in the proper

I need some help to bring life back to my old UNIX PC. The 20 Meg.
harddisk crashed totally some time ago, and obviously the computer hasn't 
been used since. I need some information about which harddisks (controller
type, size, etc.) are supported ? Preferably something larger that 20
Meg. (in the range 60-100).

My other problem is that I'm missing some of the operating system 
floppies, specially the boot/install diskette ! Can someone help with this ?
