I've got several problems running SCO XENIX 386, SCO XENIX-NET and
LanWorkPlace from Excelan on a 386 clone computer. The version of
XENIX is 2.3.1 and the version of XENIX-NET is 1.2.0. The version of
LWP is 3.7. My problems are:
I didn't buy the development kit and now I can't compile all the nifty
programs I see mentioned in this newsgroup. I managed to get a
compiled version of GCC, but I still lack the critical system
libraries. Is there any way to get a working compiler/development
system up at little cost?
Second: I need a news reader program. I've seen plenty of them on
uunet.uu.net's comp.sources.unix, but because of the abovementioned
problem, no compilee. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME THE BINARIES for any decent
public domain/free news reader? I will gladly pay for the cost of a
telephone call to download, or I can use FTP.
Next problem: First, the NETBIOS server works fine, but the consumer
won't work at all with a DOS server (also running EXCELAN software)
despite claims in the manual that it does. When I issue the net use
<name> //server/object <pwd>, I get a "Connection error encountered"
message. Going from a PC to the XENIX server works fine.
Last problem: XENIX NETBIOS data buffer size defaults to 1024 but
the manual update pages describe a procedure to increase them to 4096
(the default value on the PCs). Unfortunately, when I increase the
size of the buffers with the aforementioned procedure, the PCs hang up
when talking to the XENIX server, but only when accessing "large"
(>64K, I believe) files. I would really appreciate the greater
performance of the larger buffers.
Any help on these problems would be greatly appreciated.

SCO has available a SLS (Support Level Supplement) called xnx143 which contains the appropriate XENIX-compiled binaries for "rn" and the general BNews 2.11 set. They are available by uucp or (I believe) you can have them sent to you. /======================================+=====================================\ < Alan H.
