Subject: Term Binaries needed
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 1993 07:18:12 GMT
I need to get binaries for term for a sun 4 target machine. I
have term 1.07 running on Linux and on my campus NeXT and I'm pleased as
punch about the remote Xwindows capability but the real reason I started
tweaking with term to begin with was to use it on our sun server. As
best I can tell it is a sun 4, as the compiler flags seem to indicate when
I attempt to make term and related files on the Sun. (never laid eyes
on the real machine). BUT for some reason the makefile pukes all over me
on the sun, it seems that it has a pre-ansi version of 'cc' - (is that likely??)
at least it seems unable to make heads or tails of ANSI-style prototypes.
Am I possibly overlooking a flag there? Anyway, I need one of two things:
term binaries built for Sun 4, or,
a kick in the head with the correct CCFLAGS to make the binaries.
Any help earns my eternal gratitude....

Well, I decided to write a "Intelligent Board Driver" For Linux 4 days ago,
today As of today the board configuration and initilization works , as well
as input and output. No DCD/DTR ioctl calls are supported yet, but they will
be. I'm expecting to release source to the drivers as "alpha" withen 2 weeks.
These are initially going to support "Digboard PC/8i, PC/16i, PC/8e,PC/16e,
PC/8m, PC/16m" but soon after "Star Gate ACL" will be supported, as well
as Digiboard COM/xx products. Others are on the list.
I was online on IRC for 2 hours with the Driver, and it seemed to hold up
to the "non-demanding" but "constant" character stream rather well. It's
coming along nicely, and the package I'm writing is designed to allow
easy addition of different types of serial boards, and have it all be
dynamically allocated (from the minor numbers) at run time.

Wanted!!! Want to know how to set Linux xterm to imitate a HP700/92 or 96
terminal. Or want to know what package can do this.
I am using Linux SLACKware
version .9PL13Alfa Was fighting with SLS and tried the Slackware version. SLS
has better install but I like the Slackware version MUCH better when it comes
to use.
I have my linux box on the network and now telnet to my HP300 mini computer
to do my work. I also goto my VAX as a VT100. Unfortionatly the 3000 wants
hp terminal emulation. what I want to do is make it look to the 3000 as if I
am on a hp terminal. I want it to look right on my end to. Right now
if I use the VT100 it hanges if I use any HP only stuff. Can I set the
termcap for xterm to use only hp emulation and have xterm emulate a hp term.
Then in another session use vt100???

I presume you did install Slackware 1.0.3.
There exist two files in /conf/net. One of them defines the hostname.
In /etc there are several more files containing the hostname darkstar.
Do a grep -l darkstar /etc/* and you get a list of files containing it.
Just edit these files and fill in your desired hostname.
I did it and i'm happily using my machine `hurricane' for about
a week now.
Good luck, althouh i suggest people SEARCH first before posting this kind of

There are a couple of gotchas:
1) Make sure the termrc on one and only one end has the word remote in it.
2) Run linecheck and put the recommendations on both ends (most people say
just the other end, but it does not hurt to be conservative here). If
linecheck does not tell you to escape CR/LF then look at your inittab,
gettytab or wherever you set up logins on Linux. Follow the examples in the
includede termrc.

The real C standard is still K&R, 1st edition. Lots of UNIX boxes,
including Suns running SunOS 4.1.3 , do not have ANSI support. Many sites
have installed GCC to get ANSI support. You might set CC=gcc in the
top-level Makefile.
If you are running Linux then RUN don't walk to sunsite.unc.edu and look at
all the wonderful linux goodies. Follow your nose down to
Linux/apps/comm/term and you will find Sun4 binaries.

All X software with the features and complexity of WordPerfect for X Windows
will take that long to load. Did you know that the current version of
Corel for X Windows takes a full 22 seconds to load???? Did you know that
that puts it more than DOUBLE the time of WP?????
And your complaint is only on the X version. This does not hold water at
all on the text version......

Then you have the very first release of the software. Those type of things
have been fixed in the 4/93 release which they will gladly give you for free
(although some of those things still remain). This is WordPerfects **FIRST**
piece of X Windows software. It is going to take some time to get it right.

We have over 40 printers in use with over 6 models. We have never had ANY
printing problems. (Use "Other Spooler", works just fine here for 1 year).

There are SCORES of advantages to using WordPerfect besides that
The pricing is very reasonable compared to other packages. They have many
versions for many platforms. They include **BOTH** a text and X version
for Unix. They support every printer on the planet. It is a very
functional and robust wordprocessor. They have very good technical support
(AND AT NO CHARGE). Etc.... My hat goes off to WordPerfect Corp. for being
a long-term supporter of Unix. Their text version is EXTREMELY stable
and yes, they are having a few problems with their FIRST X piece of
software; of which 3/4 of the problems were corrected with the 4/93 release.

Hi,
I'm haven't got a PC yet, but am thinking of doing so, in order to run Linux
and DOS and maybe NT too.
What I'd like to know, is are there any Linux drivers that support read/write
CDs? Can these CD rom drives read ordinary CDs (I think it sounds a silly
question, but you never know...). How does a read/write CD drive compare
in access time/transfer rate to a CD Rom drive?
[I'm thinking of using the CD drive to act as a backup store, rather than use
a tape or Worm drive. Of course I'd also like to use the Cd drive to install
Linux...]
Cheers for any answers.

100% guaranteed for 30 days. If you get one and you don't like the
way it matches your wallpaper simply return it for your money back
*NO QUESTIONS ASKED*!
These drives also work perfectly with Linux, BSD, and other Unices for the PC.
I can take Visa or MasterCard for these. You can call any time after
5:30 PM (and up until 2:00 AM) to order one. My home phone number
is (617) 246-3634. If you think it is too late and they are already
gone call anyway because your call will put you in line for one if I
can get any more. If nobody is home you can leave a message on our

The cost is as follows:
209 Meg Seagate Hard Drive $145.00
