Recently in checking into the ole 6000 manual I dug up config(CP) and master(F) in the online manual section. Supposed these files are supposed to exist in the /etc directory. After doing a long find on these file I found out they do not exist on my system. Anybody have a copy of these files?... Anybody else ever try to find them? Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Monty

It is /usr/sys/conf directory, and there are two other important files in the /usr/sys directory. These files exist if you have installed the Xenix Configuration kit. (A very well kept secret I think, since almost no one I have mentioned it to knows about it.) (Part number is 700-3033 for the 3.1 version, and I don't know if it was ever released for the 3.2 version - perhaps "Uh-Clem" might know). You can rebuild (re-link the kernel to give you more buffers, use another swap device (perhaps a swap only drive ??), and other normally configurable things. With 3.2 many of the changes can be done with just the cfg command, withough having to have the configuration kit. I have my kernels set for user programs up to 768k, instead of the default 256k. (filePro plus also had a utility to patch the kernel because it needed a minimum of 320k. I have had some fP programs that seemed to even need more memory. I have one that the token table is just under 27k long). (I just checked my other machine, there is only /usr/sys/h and /usr/sys/io on it. It is running 3.2, this one is 3.1. {I have to run 3.1 on this system as I am using the Snapp Mem Swap 2 Meg RamSwap boards, and it only runs with the 3.1 kernel). bill -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: {uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd}!peora!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP

Well, these Merchie(TM)-guys keep saying "but it won't make it run Lotus(TM)",
so they don't waste ad or catalog space on it.

I anticipated that question. The 3.2 config kit is catalog # 700-3043.
The price is $10. Okay, its actually $9.95! It's those Merchies(TM) again!

So sorry about that. Of course, if you get 3.2 and a MMU (Tandys or a copy),
that memory can be used as main memory and this will reduce swapping and
boost speed over what a RAM swap could ever get you.
But if you prefer a RAM swap (or can't afford the MMU), would you like a
copy of a ram swap that works on 3.2?
