[comp.sys.apollo] Help.....

bgo@pbhya.PacBell.COM (Bud Odekirk) (08/09/88)

I have several problems with which I could use some help.
We are currently using Aegis, version 9.7, as our default operating system.
We are debating wether to go to SR10.
We will be changing our default operating system to SYS5 UNIX in the near
future, so that we can communicate with the other systems within our company.
We have 86 nodes, and over 500 users. Very few of our users have ever used UNIX
or UNIX mail (we are currently using DPSS mail). We presently have a committee
trying to find an office automation package that will work on our network.

Rather than re-invent the wheel, we would like to learn from those of you that
have already been through this.

1. Does anyone know of a good office automation package that has been ported
   to an Apollo System ?  We are looking for one that has word processing,
   calendaring, spread sheet, graphic capabilities, electronic mail, and
   a database manager.

2. We are trying to get UNIX readnews (rn) to work on our system, but so far
   have been unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated.

3. Has anyone written a shell script that will convert DPSS mail to to UNIX
   mail format. I have written one that works, but it is kind of archaic.

Thanks

PLEASE HELP ME, I am being held captive by the info-apollo mailing list.  I 
have tried many times to send to info-apollo-request and to the list 
maintainer.  It appears that no one is maintaining this list.

Two questions:

1)  Command: lpadmin -ppr1 -v/dev/sio1 -mdumb
    returns: model "dumb" non-existent

I have checked the model subdirectory and do find dumb as well as other printer
drivers but all give the same error.     

2)  Command:  /etc/mount f4:0 /floppy
    returns:  //homer/f4:0 on floppy  No such file or directory

This question is a repost of a previous posting.  I'm able to invol the disk
and use DPCE to transfer DOS files but am unable to mount the drive from UNIX.

Background:
	Our department has two Domain 2500 workstations with 4MB of memory and
a 200mb winchester.  Both machines have a 5.25" floppy and one has a tape 
backup. We are currently running SYS V rel 3. 

*****Someone please respond even if you have no answers.  I suspect my postings
*****are being emailed to the planet Zorg where it is being posted in the  
*****rec.humor.stupid_apollo_questions.etc category.

Thanks.
