Strangest thing. I just got both versions of the u386mon program from the net. When I tried to compile it, it calls for a header file called "nlist.h". I searched hi and low for this header file to no avail. What's the deal? I used the Makefile.sco to make sure that it should compile. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to compile this program on a Xenix System V version 2.3.2 system, using the standard development system that came with the OS. Please send me a mail message at home or at work if this is a really stupid question. Thanks, Erik. -- Erik Ohrnberger Work: sharkey!edsews!edstip!ohrnb 2620 Woodchase Court Home: sharkey!eds.com!echocen!erik Sterling Heights, MI 48310

Xenix uses xlist vs. nlist, but there are more gotchas, such as the lack of the S5R3 panels enhancement to curses. Somebody wrote me they were going to port it to XENIX. I suggested it will be such a different program when I gets finished, he should name it x386mon. XENIX internals are similar in ways, but very different than S5R3. I thought about trying to include XENIX, since the SCO approach makes this so trivially simple for _applications_, but kmem watchers don't fit this rule. u386mon is a "systems program," in the old sense of the word, one of the few I have had cause to write since coming to the UNIX world. BTW, if anyone is interested, I have a new version of the program which is less expensive to run (several cpu percentage points) and has improved Wyse 60 and ISC support. If you are interested, e-mail me with 'send u386mon' or something like that on the subject line. I'll post a 2.00 version sometime this summer, but I want to shake it out some more and think carefully about how I might support custom user-constructed screens. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Warren Tucker, TuckerWare emory!n4hgf!wht or wht@n4hgf.Mt-Park.GA.US Any perceptible delay will eventually get on your nerves. --Bob Hyers
