[comp.sys.mac] uw with Apollo

steve@hpiacla.HP.COM (Steve Witten) (06/27/88)

DOMAIN/IX must be another SystemV derivative.  I had the same problem on HP-UX.
UW requires all of the tty-handling services provided by BSD (aka SunOS).  I
gave up because I'm not that familiar with tty-handling (BSD's or anybody's). I
did get a tip to look at the code for curses to learn all about tty-handling
though.

	I will soon be posting to comp.sources.mac a set of diffs to
the uw 4.2 server to make it work under A/UX.  Many of those same changes
are the ones necessary to compile under HP/UX and other hybrid Sys5/BSD
systems.

If someone gets uw running under HP-UX, could you please let me know?

(insert standard disclaimer about not knowing what is going on, here)

I have been looking at the UW utility and am very interested in it.  I do
have a few questions.

We are using a Masscomp 5600 that supports UCB 4.2.  I am interested in 
using it to support logins from Macs, Ataris and Amigas.  I understand
servers are available for these machines.  

Is there a generic text-based server?  Ala overlapping text windows.  I 
would need that for PCs or other systems.  

Is there a newer version of the software than 3.4?  In particular, is there 
a version that doesn't have Sun dependent code?  I can't get the code to 
compile on the Masscomp as distributed.  I don't have a <sys/un.h> file (?).

Is there an archive of UW stuff?  The version that I have came from a
government BBS at Ames and it was pretty old.  I don't have FTP access so
I would need UUCP info or guest login.

I think that the system is an interesting way to get more done using the
growing number of Macs, Ataris and Amigas out here.  If I could get it
running on the PC I sure would be a hero arround here!

Thanks
