[comp.sys.sun] OS 4.0 pascal problems

) (04/21/89)

I am having problems with newly installed OS 4.0.  I have a program
written in pascal for OS 3.  The program uses SunCore library routines.
The program, now under new OS, does not work.  If any one knows how to get
SunCore to work on SUN3s running OS 4.0, please let me know.

We have a problems with SunCore input functions, have a Bug Reference
number of 1010691, with a Description: SunCore input functions may fail if
the application uses too may file descriptors before starting the view
surface.  Think comes down to Sun not having all the SunCore stuff
recompiled with the right headers for OS4, to do with having a file
descriptor > 32, as if do the SunCore stuff fails.
