From: Steve D. Miller <steve@tove.umd.edu> I've been trying (albeit intermittently) for a while to bring the latest Imagen 4.2BSD software release up on our suns, and while most of it works, the catimp program (the one that used to be catdvi) persistantly dumps core. I've twiddled around with it here and there and been unable to figure out what is going wrong, and before I launched a full-scale attack, I thought it would be best to see if anyone else out there has it running. This is the Imagen software release that accompanied our version 2.1 Imagen engine floppies, and we are running Sun Unix 1.3 (though we should soon be running 2.0). Any hints, diffs, or source postings would be greatly appreciated; mail to me, and I'll try to get it posted somehow/somewhere or another. Thanks in advance. -Steve Spoken: Steve Miller ARPA: steve@mimsy.umd.edu Phone: +1-301-454-4251 CSNet: steve@umcp-cs UUCP: {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!steve USPS: Computer Science Dept., University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742

Try this fix (I tracked it down when the program bombed on a Pyramid): *** /tmp/,RCSt1020157 Thu Oct 3 02:26:56 1985 --- catimp.c Thu Oct 3 02:26:07 1985 *************** *** 367,373 ffs[numffs++].fam_name = getcpy(line); } ! if (strncmp(ffs[0], CATAB_MARK, 5) != 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s bad format\n", filename); GoAway(); } --- 367,373 ----- ffs[numffs++].fam_name = getcpy(line); } ! if (strncmp(ffs[0].fam_name, CATAB_MARK, 5) != 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s bad format\n", filename); GoAway(); } --peter gross UUCP: {hplabs,seismo}!hao!pag CSNET: pag@ncar.csnet ARPA: pag%ncar@csnet-relay.arpa
