[net.unix-wizards] Xenix max write addr

robin@medstar.UUCP (Robin Cutshaw) (07/27/85)

Patch for 1 Meg ulimit follows (tired of dealing with it)...

#adb -w /xenix
*$x
*main+0x39?i			/* mov _u+0x5b4,0800H */
*main+0x3d?x			/* 800 */
*.?w XXXX			/* 800 = XXXX */
*$q

Replace XXXX with the maximum number of 512 byte blocks that may be
written by any user process.  800 = CDLIMIT from <sys/param.h> which
is defined as (1L<<11), which is 1 Meg.  Other sample sizes are :

	1000	(2 Mb)
	2000	(4 Mb)
	4000	(8 Mb)
	8000	(16 Mb)
	ffff	(32 Mb -1 block)

There is no magic size that will suffice in all cases, just what you
wish to live with.
