Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has ported uw to sysV? I can't seem to get
uw to run on the Silicon Graphics/CDC-910 (SysV) or the Apollo
SysV/BSD4.2 combo. The Apollo I can sorta understand having troubles,
since it doesn't appear to support AF_UNIX under SR9.7 (just AF_INET).
The SG machine, however, was supposed to have the Berkeley extensions
(even had a library called libbsd.a which had all the goodies in it),
but the closest I could come to getting uw to work was a message like:
socket: protocol not supported
even though /etc/protocols looked ok.
In case you don't know what Unix Windows is, it is basically a server that
runs on the host Unix system and allows you to log in with a Mac, Amiga,
or Atari ST running the client side of uw and open up to 7 seperate
windows/processes over one RS232 line. Unix Windows was originally developed
for the mac and has since been ported to other personal graphics computers.
On the ST version (thanks to the Lachman people), we have a very clean
terminal environment with multiple windows, icon'ing windows, multi-window
file/printer logging, etc. You can actually get 4 80x24 character windows
up on the screen at once with NO overlap (very, very tiny text, of course).
Many BSD systems now come with uw installed in /usr/ucb (my Symmetric even
came with it), and I've had no trouble compiling the server on other BSD
systems (Sun's and Vaxes)...but then it is only 800 lines of code.

I know this doesn't help you much, unless you are a Beta site for sr10, but we just pulled uw off the net and it compiled and ran fine with no changes whatsoever. Certainly makes doing work from home alot easier. Has anyone made any changes to uw to get it to support SIGWINCH? I looked through the code and didn't see anything to handle it there. (We have version 4.2 of the code--the README says 31 January 1988). =brian -- Internet: apollo!brian@eddie.mit.edu UUCP: {decvax,mit-erl,yale}!apollo!brian NETel: Apollo: 617-256-6600 x8625 Home: 617-332-3073 FISA: 617-964-8938 USPS: Apollo Computer, Chelmsford MA Home: 29 Trowbridge St. Newton MA (Copyright 1987 by author.
