When *will* 3.2 hit the streets? When Tandy has its annual new product announcements? This is a bit silly. I have 'heard' of the 3.2DS for the past several months. It is also referred to in the 3.2Core man pages. I would really appreciate any info regarding when Real Soon Now is. Yes, I _have_ checked the local Business Products Centers. No, they have no idea what 3.2 Xenix is. If no dates are known (or Tandy won't talk), then maybe whet my appetite by posting some the goodies 3.2DS will provide. An sdb maybe? A compiler (and lint) that understands void? A preprocessor that has more than 8 sig- nificant characters? A ctags that knows about typedefs? A _real_ inittabs? Disk partitions? ... -- --------------------"Well, it looked good when I wrote it"--------------------- Verbal: Dave Burton Net: ...!ihnp4!laidbak!daveb V-MAIL: (312) 505-9100 x325 USSnail: 1901 N.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it, as those are SYSV features (more or less) and 3.2 is still a V7/SysIII clone. I have heard, though, that the 3.2 cc/as/ld will not *officially* support long variable and function names, but if you know the right command line argument (which will be undocumented) ... :-) A real inittab? You already have the 3.2 /etc/init if you have installed the 3.2 runtime, so don't hold your breath. Disk partitions? I've been doing that since 3.0! I won't take the time to describe how here (unless I get enough requests), but I will show the particulars. Here is what "diskstat 0" and "diskstat 1" say about my two hard drives: # diskstat 0 cyl = 1024, heads = 5, sectors = 17 bad track max = 100, blocks = 85306 # diskstat 1 cyl = 977, heads = 5, sectors = 17 bad track max = 100, blocks = 81311 Drive 0 is a Miniscribe 6053 (44.6 Mb formatted) and drive 1 is a Seagate ST-4051 (42.5Mb formatted). Here is what "df -vk" (yeah, I wrote my own df, too) says about my filesystems: # df -vk Mount Dir Filesystem Kbytes used free % used / /dev/root 10880 9418 1462 86.6% /usr/spool /dev/spool 31773 29685 2087 93.4% /usr /dev/usr 36660 34565 2095 94.3% The Miniscribe (drive 0) contains /dev/root and /dev/spool. The Seagate (drive 1) contains /dev/usr and a 4Mb /dev/swap area. Yup, swap on the secondary drive. Ah heck, I'll give you a hint as to how to setup the partitions: # l /dev/root /dev/spool /dev/usr /dev/swap brw-r----- 1 sys sys 1, 33 Apr 12 20:06 /dev/root brw-r----- 1 sys sys 1, 34 Jun 30 1987 /dev/spool brw-r----- 2 sys sys 1, 40 Dec 11 09:53 /dev/usr brw-r----- 1 sys sys 1, 42 Nov 25 15:59 /dev/swap Take a good close look at the major/minor numbers above, and then compare them to the ones you're using on your "stock" system. [ I'll bet my /dev/spool looks like your /dev/swap ... :-) ] I will give a more detailed explanation to anyone who requests it. Of course, allow me time to type it up! I'll post it if enough people ask. - paul -- Paul Sutcliffe, Jr. +------------------------+ | Know what I hate most? | UUCP (smart): paul@devon.UUCP | Rhetorical questions. | UUCP (dumb): ...rutgers!bpa!vu-vlsi!devon!paul +------<Henry Camp>------+
