I recently installed HoneyDanBer UUCP, and wonder why I put it off so
long. The only problem is that HDB deals with lock files differently,
and if I am using kermit or async_main when uucp decides it wants to
use the phone, I'm out of luck. uucp just grabs without asking.
Perhaps something could be done in uudemon.hour to modify the lock
files before uusched is called (though this wouldn't help if someone
issued a uucp command and didn't tell it to queue). Any suggestions?
I tried a few things, but the debug file for uucp keeps showing, "ok
to remove lock file," as I shout, "No! Don't!"
Next, does anyone have any experience with the general ledger program
that AT&T sells for the UNIX PC, or any pointers to another (and maybe
less expensive?) program. Most of the generic UNIX GL programs I have
looked at require a COBOL compiler, and that goes against my morals.
Lastly (I save up questions for postings), was anyone able to get
gnuemacs compiled as a demand-paged executable? Brant posted some
mod's (back in October) to the m-7300.h file to make this happen,
but they caused a "Memory Fault--Core Dumped." Anything more recent I
don't know about?
Thanks all...
