Has anyone gotten the xenix BBS program called XBBS compiled on the
7300? The program was orginally working on a xenix system. When I
have tried to compile it, I get a lot of problems with cant
include sys/locking. There are a number of referance to the file locking
call all though the program, so before I go trying to figure out replacements
or fixes, has anyone got it to work?
I know unaxcess will work on a 3B1, in fact I have it up, but would like
to run xbbs. xbbs has more of a "fido" look and a little more user friendly
and I think the new version has sealink working.

When I I am running two BBS systems, one UNaXcess based on a 7300, the other XBBS on a 386. I have just about decided to move UNaXcess to the Xenix system, since XBBS uses a *lot* of Xenix speciffic locking features (and is better for it). I don't think it's impossible to make XBBS run elsewhere, but it will be a lot of work. While I'm speaking of BBS problems, I have a problem that hangs lines when a process tries to terminate. It results in a zombie process and hung line. I was told that it was fixed in 3.0 (it wasn't) and 3.5 (it isn't). Now people tell me it's fixed in 3.51. Before I invest any more in it, can someone tell me if there's a reason to believe the story this time? -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
