Hee!  for $100, it might be worth it just for the manual!!

(sorta FAQ-ish, but how much would comparable manuals cost by themselfs?)

No Frank.  However, one of our programmers developed a program that emmulates
the rm command and only moves the file to a temporary trashcan (an extra file
system that we have here).
The file is actually removed from the trashcan after 7 days.

This has helped me a lot with users that screw up and want me to recover
their files pronto.

Hi,
	How can I mail someone a letter or post an article anonymously?
I've read man on both xmail and xrn (which are the utilities I use).  I have

It is a problem. On many systems, when a user deletes the last
piece of mail in his mailbox, the mail program unlinks the user's
entry in /usr/spool/mail. This, of course, is a disastrous
misfeature of these mail programs, but unfortunately, that is
how mail works on these systems. /usr/spool/mail should not be
world writeable.

"cd dir_name" should work.  Also, if you want to get fancy, play around with

SYNOPSIS
     can [options] file [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     can moves file(s) to  $HOME/Trash instead of really remo-

OPTIONS
     -l    List contents of $HOME/Trash
     -r    Clean up $HOME/Trash
     -h    Show usage
-------- Cut here --------

If you use "can" instead of "rm" you always have the file(s) available in 
a temporary repository and can restore them from there. But beware - once
they are deleted from there you're finished ...

No what you want to do I don't think is possible.  But if you want to transfer
information between logins, just use files.  That's what they are there for.
So instead of saying hello=world, use echo "world" > hello and at the 
other end just use cat hello.

NNTP-Posting-Host: dsun6.hmi.de

Hello,

this may be a FAQ, but I need quick help.
I work with aimk (architecture independent make) which is distributed
with the PVM-Package. It is a sh-Script that executes some heuristic test
in order to determine on which machine it is running.
Then it invokes the 'normal' make with the Parameter HOST=<arch>, where
arch is 'SUN4', for example.

My Problem is that I have to use different compilers on several different
computers( cc, gcc, acc, f77 vs. fc ), but I would like to have just one
Makefile for all of them. The Makefile should determine by $(HOST) which
compiler to use, something like :

#if HOST == "SUN4"
CC	=	acc
FC	=	fc
#endif

Does anyone have a solution for this ? I'd be thankful to hear from
you soon ...

Why do these commands have different results?

	nohup head /etc/passwd /etc/foo.bar > 1.out 2> 2.out

The second puts the standard error in file 1.out and leaves 2.out empty.

Why?  What can I do to get the output I expect?

extenders - they are very flaky and unreliable to maintain.  I was excited
when I saw a product announcement from HP for a card called LAN DIRECT.  This
card is supposed to fit into the HP IIId optional slot and plug directly into
the LAN.  Unfortunately, this product did not work with UNIX.  

Does any "netter" know of any cards that fit into HP IIIds and work with UNIX
maybe via TCP/IP or something like that ? I researched this to death and
drew a blank when it came to UNIX SYSV R4.0, ethernet, and HP IIIds.

SCO provide DOS Merge. This works fine for the majority of non Windows Apps.

The main problem comes with memory, currently DOS Merge emulates LIM.

Newer version promise full support for Windows 3.1 and all the new windows

As your list is of non windows apps you should be OK now.

Because you can set the sticky bit on the directory /usr/spool/mail
(or /var/spool/mail). When this bit is set on a directory, it means
that users may not delete or rename other users' files in this 
directory. Then you can have each user mailbox secure, and never
deleted or changed (or created by other user with no permission
for the properly owner).

In general this should happen on a recv() operation. There is no guarantee
that a send() operation has delivered data to the remote side.

Client/Server applications must provide an acknowledgement protocol if

Well, I prefers SPAC for X, but I use Xwindows too, the only down fall being the speed, If you are using loal bus machies and FATSxxx fast
486s no problem. I have used DesqviewX and like it, as for the

Perhaps the select() function call could help.

I am having problems with a Korn Shell script I am writting.  The
script ftp's files from another server and must chmod the files
for global read access.

chmod 644 $TARGET_DIR/*


produces the following output:

chmod: can't access /bnr/users/u1/trice/tmp/*


before you ask, yes everything in the path has 700 permission.


Forgive me if this is a faq.
