I eagerly unpacked UW only to be unable to get the VAX side working! The ST side apparently works fine. However, after : 1) kermitting UW to the ST 2) uudecoding UW.uue 3) unarcing UW.arc 4) kermitting uw.vax and uwtool.vax back to the vax, 5) chmoding so it was executable, 6) executing and then Core dump - illegal instruction... okay can someone help by pointing out what i am doing wrong. Failing that ... can some kind soul send me a uuencoded versions (not arc-ed) of uw.vax and uwtool.vax. thanks in advance, cd ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!benoni

rather than cluttering up the net with mailings that may or may not
work, i strongly recommend that you get in touch with ravi (the
original poster, his address is in the posting) and speak with him.
The vax versions that he sent me were specifically for my system
(VAX 11/750 under More BSD 4.2) There was no gaurentee that it would
work elsewhere, I'm sorry if i didn't make that clear in the posting.
I included it only in the vague hope that it MIGHT work on another
system.

Hi Guys. I can't believe that someone has posted the Unix BINARIES for UW! The SOURCE for UW is FREELY AVAILABLE and will support a number of different machines (ex. sun, pyramid, vax) with 4.2, 4.3 or sysV. I was going to post the sources with my version of the UWST client module (which, alas, is still not finished). If turner@imagen wants i'll send it all over to him. BTW. I am just about ready to set up all of the terminal emulations in my UW. I want to know what terminals are important to people. Specifically, if you have a good description of controls for well know terminals, or better yet (Simon?) some routines, PLEASE send them over. So far I am just doing tty,vt52, but I am more than willing to add to that. Pete Santangeli pete@utcssca@utgpu or pete@utcs

I don't know if anyone in the newsgroup has seen the source to UW and UW*.VAX, but I thought I'd go ahead and throw this question out... The impression I've got right now is that all of the UW host support software is specifically written for 4.x BSD Unix. How difficult would it be to port the code to work on AT&T System V release 2 or 3? I know that the BSD protocol for job control is different from System V... what I don't know is if something like System V's "shl" facility could be used as a reasonable facsimile. Is there any way that I could get the source for all the software -- the host tools as well as the Atari program? Any thoughts, comments, or (best of all) answers? I've got an itch to get this thing going on an NCR Tower 32/800... :-) Steve Wingard ...!ucbvax!sdcsvax!ncr-sd!ncrcae!wingard NCR Corp., E&M-Columbia ...!decvax!mcnc!ncsu!ncrcae!wingard Home of the Towers... wingard@ncrcae.NCR.COM

I'd like to point out one last time that I sent the binaries for the Unix end of UW to Jim Turner at his request, only so he could test out the ST end.
