[comp.unix.xenix] uucp patches

jhood@biar.UUCP (John Hood) (04/27/89)

Anyone out there know of a patch for 2.2's uucico to increase the
value of WINDOWS to 7?  We're using Tandy-labeled and -supported SCO
Xenix 2.2.4, Tandy won't give us the HDB uucp disk, and we may be
stuck on this version for a while.

Although, perhaps we should, Tandy doesn't distribute the SLF's.  But
SCO will still send it to you.  Maybe someone will post that phone number
for you.

It has been our experience that if SCO hears the word 'Tandy' in any
shape or form, they won't mail you the time of day, let alone any
software.  They _immediately_ say "Go talk to Tandy" over and over
as if it were a twisted mantra.

Run "adb -w" on uucico (in /usr/lib/uucp, you will need to be root)
Here is a script:
----- start of script ----
$ date
Sun Oct 30 09:03:56 PST 1988
$ copy -om uucico uucico~
$ adb -w uucico
* windows/x
_windows:	0x3
* windows/w 7
_windows:	0x3=	0x7
* $x
* millitick+32?ia
_millitick+0x32:		mov	ax,0x14
_millitick+0x35:
* .?x
_millitick+0x32:		0x14b8
* .?w 32b8
_millitick+0x32:		0x14b8=	0x32b8
* .?ia
_millitick+0x32:		mov	ax,0x32
_millitick+0x35:
* $q

$ 
---- end of script ----

If you're wondering, the mov ax,0x14 is setting up a divide by 20 for
HZ=20 machines.  The 0x32 changes it to 50 for HZ=50 machines..

The patch to windows is the famous WINDOWS=7 patch that helps over
lines with big delays (eg PC-Pursuit).
