I am haveing some problems installing a few client programs. Maybe someone
can help with some of these.
INFO:
Sun 386i/250 SunOS 4.0.2
X11R4 compiled with cc
UseServerInSunWindows YES (I will probably change to no sunwindow)
PROBLEMS:
xmh: This program compiles fine and runs but doesn't seem to interface
with my mail system. Is the Sun386i running the wrong type of
mailer and is there a way to get things working?
xperfmon: I think the problem with this program is when it calls nlist()
on /vmunix it doesn't find any of the names. I can't find any docs on
what the names should be for my system. Does anyone have a working
version for the 386i? Any help would be appreciated.
xrn: This program has the same problem mentioned by others in comp.windows.x
I would just like to know when someone has a fix ready to go.
xconsole: Got is compiled and seems to work. BUT. It doesn't seem to catch
all the system messages. Some message are written to the screen and I
need to do an xrefresh to get things looking nice again. This may be
happening when sunwindows is running also. I can't quite remember.
Anyway I'm not sure how it's supposed to work or when and how to start
it properly.
Other clients are either working fine or I haven't attempted them yet.
Alltogether the installation seem to be going fairly well. I hope some
of you can help here.

In the first paragraph of the xmh manual page, it states that xmh is an interface to the Rand MH Message Handling (MH) system. If you don't know whether MH is installed on your system and have no one to ask, try typing "inc" to the shell. If the command isn't found, MH probably isn't installed. The documentation for MH is in the 4.3 Unix User's Manual Supplementary Documents. Over one year ago, I heard that MH6.6 was available by ftp from louie.udel.edu or on magtape from UC Irvine for $75: Attn: MH Distribution Computing Facility U. C. Irvine Irvine, CA 92717 Of course, this information may be out of date. > xrn: This program has the same problem mentioned by others in comp.windows.x > I would just like to know when someone has a fix ready to go. Watch comp.windows.x for an announcement of a fix, or try writing to the authors at xrn@eros.berkeley.edu Donna Converse converse@expo.lcs.mit.edu

Uh, this may not be such a good idea. Non-MH users tend to keep old mail around forever in their system mailboxes (urrrr) and the results of inc aren't easily reversible, causing some anguish. (I've seen people do this when they want to try out MH, and come yowling when they find their mailbox in lots of tiny pieces... Good incentive for them to stay with MH, but sometimes, they're unhappy -- fortunately, slamming all the messages together separated by "\nFrom anonymous "`date`"\n" restores a measure of peace)
