[comp.unix.xenix] pathalias

root@raider.MFEE.TN.US (Bob Reineri) (05/14/89)

We are currently running Xenix on a 386 box with 2 meg of memory. Pathalias
just needs too much memory to run on this system, and consistently stops
with out of memory messages. 

Someone mentioned to me that there was a version of pathalias that built its 
data structures on disk (instead of malloc'ing them). This sounds as if it
would solve my memory problems in the short term, till I can buy more. If anyone
knows of such a beast, if you could mail it to me, or point me in the right
direction to find it, I'd be most appreciative.

I'm having some problems porting pathalias to Xenix/286.  Before starting,
has anyone already accomplished this task?

My configuration is Xenix/286 2.2.1 with 4.5mb of memory.  I've got Peter's
most recent version (May 89), but at the moment, all I'm able to do is to
dump core or get an out of memory error.

thanks,

bob
