This is a report on what I learned about some of the questions I posted the other day. 1) documentation: I went nosing around the internet last night, and came upon an old-minix-article archive at bugs.nosc.mil. There is a subdirectory for this, called pub/minix/articles. The subject fields for these are contained in file pub/minix/subjects, nice for grepping through. I found some form of man pages there: in pub/minix/articles, these are files 1166@crash.cts.com and 1167@crash.cts.com. After uudecoding them and decompressing, there are two files man.1 and man.2; these need to be put in the proper place, ' cat man.1 man.2 >/usr/man/man1 '. Now when you say 'man ls', the first time through the 'man' command will build an index for you, and it is happy afterwards. The only two beefs: first that the man pages seem to have some PC specific stuff (for example, the C compiler page says that no .o files can be generated using the cc command) and also the 'man' pager wants RETURN instead of SPACE to page. I guess I can fix THAT! 2) c68 - i tracked this problem down to the fact that the .s files (and resulting .o files) from c68 had NO CODE in them! I just got a note from cvw saying that this is what happens to c68 when made with a floating-point-ignorant ACK compiler. It does not KILL, it just causes BRAIN DEATH. I am waiting to hear back from him, he mentioned some technique of adding the necessary floating point stuff to ACK. Now for another question: will somebody tell me what to say in kermit to 'set line' to the modem port at 9600 baud? There is nothing obvious in /dev. This is on a Macintosh SE. j "no fancy minix-guy nickname yet" t

There is nothing obvious > in /dev. This is on a Macintosh SE. I'm not totally sure, since I've got an ST, but take the try the last tty. For example: $ ls /dev/tty* /dev/tty /dev/tty0 /dev/tty1 /dev/tty2 $ kermit C-Kermit, 4E(070) 29 Jan 88, Minix Type ? for help C-Kermit> set line /dev/tty2 Warning, read access to lock directory denied C-Kermit> set speed 9600 /dev/tty2: 9600 baud C-Kermit> That's all!
