[comp.unix.xenix] Need mon386

cladd@bbn.com (Carol Ladd) (08/23/90)

Recently, in newsgroup comp.sources.unix, the sources to umon386 were
posted.  In the README to these sources is the following text:

> XENIX systems have greatly different kernel
> implementations and use xlist instead of nlist.  These programs
> will not work there; sorry.  Someone reported he was working on a
> port to XENIX, but jct!jct's mon386 is great (posted to

> Message-ID: <278@jct.UUCP>).

So... Does anyone have a copy of this 'mon386' somewhere?  If so, would
you send it to me?

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to echo the above -- I've been looking and looking for mon386
for SCO-XENIX 2.3.3 and cannot locate it.  It never appear here in
< comp.unix.xenix >.  I too ask that it either be mailed to me or to be
directed to a site that has it archived.  I too echo "Thanks in advance."

Being the jct!jct in question, maybe I can help. I wrote the Xenix 286
version of 'monitor', someone else, alas I lost his name and patches due
to a disk failure, made changes for Xenix 386. My version currenly runs
on SCO UNIX 386 and I am working on RISC Ultrix. I no longer have 286
hardware to test on and I am sure I have missed a few #if XENIX_286s
along the way but it should be a good starting point.

I subscribe to comp.sources.unix myself but have never seen umon386. I tried
submitting monitor myself to that group over a year ago but never saw any
response.

Anyhow, there is a working SCO UNIX version available and maybe someone
would like to help out on my understanding the internals of BSD UNIX so
I can complete the Ultrix one?
