Has anyone run macget successfully on a V7 system? I have converted
macput (details below) and it is just fine, but macget transfers an
undetermined number of packets before getting to a state where it
does 10 retries and then hangs up (kicks me off the UNIX system).
Sometimes I can transmit 4k (at 300 baud), sometimes zero.
On the 4.2BSD Vax, macget works perfectly as far as I can tell.
It is on the Perkin-Elmer 3242 (32-bit machine) and the PDP-11 (16-bit
machine) under V7 that this indeterminate behaviour occurs.
I have tried setting the file transfer parameters in MacTerminal (-0.15x)
to put various time gaps between lines and between characters in case
the problem was the V7 system getting behind, but it makes no difference.
Changes made to the 4.2BSD version:
Line 4: #include <sys/ioctl.h> --> #include <sgtty.h>
Add: #define rename(x,y) link(x,y);unlink(x)
(The above change macget to its state on the 32-bit Perkin-Elmer,
and are the changes required for changing to 4.1 also, according
to utzoo!peterr)
For the PDP-11, a couple of "int" declarations had to be changed
to "long". These are in struct macheader, m_datalen and m_rsrclen
Changes to macput.c that seem to work are parallel:
change sys/ioctl.h and (for 16-bit machines) the declarations
of macheader.m_datalen and m_rsrclen. Also, the last function
in the listing, put4, requires "value" to be declared "long"
instead of "int". "rename" is not used in macput.c
