I have CUBIX/2 and CUBIX/3 machines which are running iAPX286 Unix System V. These machines are supposed to be binary compatible with the AT&T 6300+ Unix System V, and the Microport System V/286. I don't know if this is true, but CUBIX Corp. claims that this is the case. My questions are: 1. Does anyone out there have any experience with these machines? Is anyone using them? 2. Has anyone come across problems with the C compiler while using the large (-Ml) model? 3. Has anyone successfully compiled any of the following sources on *ANY* iAPX286 machines? a. ksh b. c-kermit c. netnews d. gnuchess e. Honey Danber UUCP 4. Does anyone know of another C compiler (other than the iAPX286 one) which might work with these machines. Thanks in advance for any help you are able to give. Also, how would one go about finding out if there is enough interest to start a comp.sys.cubix news group? ---------------- \ \ Shades @ CVM Systems uucp: ihnp4!csun!csuchic!cvm O^O Software Design Group voice: (916) 895-8321

This is purely due to improper configuration of the assembler (which is large model). Even our VAX assembler is configured too small for some single file programs. > e. Honey Danber UUCP Yes.
