No this is not possible.  WHile it is possible for IPX packets to run the network
with those TCP/IP packets, there is no simulated "Ethernet card" in a SunPC/SOftPC
to read those packets.

You could use SunLink Netware, but then Novell clients could talk TO your Sun,
not the other way.

I queried about this a while back.  Both Sun and the net came back with the
answer above.  I hear a rumor that there will be Ethernet card simulation in the
next release of {Sun,SOft}PC, but don't hold your breath.

 I have already try SOFTPC from "insignia". It is rather good when you perform

it is very very slow.

	I would like some feedbacks from people who have already try
the SYNERGY II-486 SBUS Card from "Puzzle system". I would particularly 
appreciate information about:

- speed (compiler, user application, ...)
- availability to use TWM, MOTIF on an X11R5 release and not only openwindows 
or sunview,
- compatibility (does all application you tried run on it)
- is it possible to run windows 3.?? on it

R5 and R4 xbiff allows you to set your own check command, e.g.

xbiff*checkCommand: /usr/local/bin/checker

This should return 0 for new mail, 1 for old mail, and 2 for no mail. See
xbiff(1).

[BTW I seem to remember a bug in R4 xbiff where it would multiply the return
code by 256, so it would signify new mail but would always think there was
some old mail there.]

Have you tried Jet in the standard OW3 Programs/Demos menu?  Of course
since it's a demo, it's unsupported, and since it's NeWS, it'll be
*really* unsupported, but is that the level of tool you're looking for?

Haven't used it extensively, but it seems pretty easy to use.

Hope I'm looking in the right places.

I'm compiling/linking a biological model on a sun sparc ipx.
The code is fortran, using a few of the vms extensions.
compilation goes fine, then linking kicks in. A trace shows it
"accepting" all of my modules and several libraries, then it
complains of the following and dies.

-lF77:
        /usr/lang/SC1.0/libF77.sa.1.4

Compilation failed
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 

The number in l.outaXXXXX is the process id.
disk space "shouldn't" be a problem.

The linker is being invoked from a makefile via f77 using the following lines:

${MODEL_DIR}/treegro: ${OBJECTS}
        f77 ${OBJECTS} -C -g -u -xl -Qoption ld -t -o ${MODEL_dir}/treegro


any ideas?

Calendar Manager has worked for me correctly in the past, and then one day

Is this a none bug with a patch?  Has anyone ever heard of this problem?

Keywords:  gprof prof performance analysis

I am using gprof to analyze the performance of a large, slow
application, and I have two questions.  

First, does anyone know what the "cumsecs" field tracked
in prof (and in the flat profile of gprof) really means?
When I run prof/gprof on an application that took several minutes
to run, the "cumsecs" field only accounts for a few seconds of
total time.  In fact, the longer I run the application, the
smaller the cumulative time becomes.  Clearly, the profile doesn't
represent only a few-second slice of the program.  I do have all
necessary libraries compiled with gprof, and it's including them
in the profile just fine, so time's not lost there.

Second, if an application forks, and an identical copy of the parent
starts running, is there any way to exclude this child process from
the profile?  I'm having trouble with the child process "biasing"
the prof information.  It appears that they both write to gmon.out.

Please reply directly to me via e-mail and I'll post a summary here.

Thanks,

You normally get a bus error if you mess up the alignment (at least that's

I've been helping Nelson a little with this, and I believe his problem
stems from a structure cast that works on the 68020 but not on the Sparc.

The Sun-C MC68020 compiler aligns ints to an even address. For example:

   struct foo{
     char f1;
     int f2;
   };

The sun3 compiler puts f2 at offset 2, while the sun4 compiler is
required to put it at offset 4.

Is there a way in Mail Tool V3 to increase the address length of the

Most people I exchange mail with have Internet addresses > 18 characters,
so using a fixed font does not nicely align the different fields of a
header.

Properties of the Header Window include "Headers" and "Characters Wide",
to specify the number and total length of headers to be displayed,
but I found no way to specify how these headers should be built. And
I didn't find anything in man pages either.

I am not a usual reader of this group, so please bear with me if this is
a FAQ.

Using file manager, mailtool, IslandWrite, etc. I discovered that I can
put blanks (ASCII 0x20) in file names.  Great!  No more reaching for the
'_' key.

Except... the default bindings for nearly every type of file have
'<application> $FILE' in the 'Application:' field.  If the filename has
embedded blanks, $FILE then looks like multiple files!  Aaarrgghhh!

Didn't it occur to the OW developers that if you can easily create a file
with blanks in the name, that it might be nice to make the tools that
operate on those files understand how to do it properly?

I've seen enough flakiness with binder that I'm *very* hesitant to use
it to make my own private bindings for *all* those different file types.
I did, however, just receive and build a thing called 'bed', which is
a nifty little binary file editor.  I may try to use that to fix the
cetables file, replacing '$FILE' with '"$FILE"'.

Thanks, Sun!

Here's a script that I use to check for mail.  It opens mailtool if there's new or
unread mail out there.  It scans mail -H for U or N marker in the header, thus
getting around the mail -e unfeature.

Feel free to hack at this to twist it to your own perverted desires.

(I hope that this gets posted right, as the one significant line is kinda long.)

-----BEGIN checkmail-----------
#!/bin/csh

# open mailtool icon if there's new or unread mail
# use Mail -H to print the header, and search for a U or H in first field

# use this to search for NEW or UNREAD mail
set mailcnt = `/usr/ucb/mail -H | awk 'BEGIN{c=0} $1 == "U" || $1 == "N" {c++} END{print c}'`

# use this to search for NEW mail only
# set mailcnt = `/usr/ucb/mail -H | awk 'BEGIN{c=0} $1 == "N" {c++} END{print c}'`

if ( $mailcnt ) then
	$OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/mailtool &
endif

exit
-----END checkmail-----------
