[comp.sys.amiga] UW questions.

mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu (Michael Portuesi) (12/21/87)

So, with this recent flurry of interest in uw, I dusted off the copies of the
uw stuff that Michael McInerny posted to the net in June, FTPed the Unix UW
sources from louie.udel.edu, compiled them here on Andrew (a networked
computing environment using Sun-2's, Sun-3's and IBM RT's -- what fun
compiling a program for every machine you might use it on) and decided to
give it a whirl.

Upon running the uw client on the Amiga, my mouse pointer stopped dead in its
tracks.  I then watched all chip memory in the machine disappear on my
menu-bar clock.  When it got to zero, the machine gave me the guru.

Next, I tried running NoFastMem followed by uw, and it worked.  It seems that
the uw client can't deal with expanded memory (1.5 meg, Squeeze-RAM memory
board, located at $C000000).

Does anybody else have this problem?  Has there been an update to the uw
client?
