This is not so surprising. Presumably you mean the doc that comes as part

of the InterViews release. InterViews uses floats to store *all* of its

internal measurements, so a coprocessor is necessary for all but the most

I program using InterViews on a couple of PCs using Linux and Dell SVR4,

have found a coprocessor to be a prerequisite.

I think, maybe, it could be, im not sure if it is,

look in /etc/motd

p2c is a Pascal-to-C translator. It is available via anonymous ftp from

It is also available on the GNU `languages' tape and the GNU CDROM. Ask

Subject: [A]: RAWDISK.SYS bugfixed version 1.1
|
|
Date: 29 Sep 93 15:44:45 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm announcing the bugfixed version 1.1 of RAWDISK.SYS in this newsgroup,
|
|
because I know a lot of people with tape drives not supported (either by
|
|
type or by using older kernels etc.) are using this DOS device driver for
|
|
backup of their Unix disk/partition.
|
|
|
|
RAWDISK.SYS v1.1 is available by anonymous ftp from:
|
|
|
|
ftp.uni-duisburg.de: /pub/pc/misc/rawdsk11.zip
|
|
login: anonymous, password: e-mail address
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.1 of RAWDISK.SYS (raw disk device driver for DOS)
|
|
fixes the following two bugs:
|
|
|
|
1. DR-DOS's CHKDSK complains about an illegal drive for RAWDISK.DRV.
|
|
|
|
2. Successful restore of a backup was prevented by version 1.0 under
|
|
certain circumstances:
|
|
|
|
if the program you use for restore (ie that writes to the disk via
|
|
RAWDISK.SYS) wrote an updated directory entry first before reading
|
|
the FAT to get the available bytes on the drive, RAWDISK.SYS returned
|
|
a virtual FAT indicating a full drive. This prevented successful
|
|
restore.
|
|
|
|
Both bugs are fixed.
|
|
|
|
BTW, RAWDISK.SYS is a DOS device driver, that maps an arbitrary
|
|
portion of a harddisk (given by a start- and endcylinder) onto a
|
|
logical DOS drive. The HD area is accessed (read or written)
|
|
through a regular DOS file. Logical drive administration areas
|
|
(bootsector, FAT and rootdirectory) are totally virtual, hence
|
|
no additional HD space is required.
|
|
|
|
sorry for the inconvenience,
|
|

.99pl12 does detect the ethernet card which is a 3c503. If I reboot with the

Several machines (all should) check the permissions on the .rhosts file.
|

Make sure it is only readable by the owner (ie r--------). You may

ALSO have to add the foreign host to linux's /etc/hosts.equiv.

Note that sometimes you have to give full domain names and userids in these

Can any body tell me how to use "term" in Linux?
|
|
I try to login to Linux via serial port by modem dial in
|
|
using PROCOMM under MS-DOS.
|
|
|
|
If you know how to setup "term" under Linux, so I can
|
|
remote login by modem, Please email me <y1huang@ic.sunysb.edu>.
|
|
|
|
Thank you!!

I keep getting ethernet error messages:
|
|
|
|
eth0: transmit timed out, TX status 0x3, ISR 0x3.
|
|
eth0: Possible IRQ conflict on IRQ3?
|
|
|
|
but TCP/IP seems to be OK. Are there something wrong with my setup?
|
|
I am using 3c503 (AUI, 8 bit), SLS 1.03 (0.99.13).
|
|
|
|
Thanks.

I am using the ATI GUI Pro. Everytime, I am getting out from X-windows,
|
|
the screen is messed up. It looks like the VGA was not reset right.
|
|
This didn't happen with the old ATI Graphic Ultra. Is there a patch
|
|
to reset the VGA back to normal when I quit X?
|
|
|

Thanks.

|
|
|
|
I just installed linux on my Gateway 2000 486/66e. After a full
|
|
installation I tried bring up openwindows. I got a system error
|
|
telling me that I need to set the "Clocks" keyword in my Xconfig.
|
|
I tried doing this by getting the clocks from startx output, but
|
|
had no luck.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone have the correct Xconfig files as well as any other
|
|
files that were changed for the Crystalscan monitor, ATI Ultrapro
|
|
local bus etc?
|
|
|
|
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Subject: Kernel taking 2 meg of ram??

|
|
G'day,
|
|
I recently compiled my pl11 kernel with the net2 stuff installed. No probs
|
|
with net2, btw. I implemented plip and slip in the linux/net/inet/CONFIG
|
|
file and compiled. No errors, but when I rebooted, I found the kernel
|
|
was taking around 2 megs of my ram! (1.6 meg data, if I remember rightly).
|
|
|
|
Does anyone have any clues?
|

I am using uugetty(getty_ps?) and have the ringback feature enabled.
|
|
We have a USR Internal Sportster 14.4 modem, and everything worked
|
|
fine for a while. After restarting my computer however I could not
|
|
get the modem to answer. I set the appropriate DIP switch so that ATZ
|
|
would reset the modem to its factory defaults instead of the
|
|
Non-volatile ram setups, and now the modem answers fine, but screws up
|
|
in the getlogname() call. I have the debug option turned on in my
|
|
uugetty.ttyS1 file, and the debug output doesn't report any errors.
|
|
After the modems connect though I get a line of about 30 characters of
|
|
garbage (though all the characters are the same). Anything I type is
|
|
echoed as garbage. My uugetty.ttyS1 file is as follows, and worked
|
|
for some time before the reboot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. One of our undergrads has
|
|
been diagnosed with cancer but would like to continue with her
|
|
research using her computer from home. The 14.4 line is to be her
|
|
access to the campus.
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much for your time.
