I hope someone can help me with this. After months of waiting
we finally received some prerelease Mac-Apollo connection
software from Apollo. It was apparently developed at the
University of Michigan, and seems promising, but the
documentation is sparse and we have yet to get it working
properly.
Here are some sample error messages:
On login:
"(inlib) /lib/vfmt_streams -- name not found (OS/naming server)"
Tried to start /bin/csh:
"Cross rev. incompatibility, sr9.5 code calling pre-sr9.5 code
(process manager/loader)"
I got the same error trying to execute "ld" command.
On the Macintosh: When I tried to play back a metafile, I got
a system error on the Mac, ID = 02.
Thanks in advance for any ideas/advice.

Unfortunately, It appears to be hopelessly out of date. >> Here are some sample error messages: >> On login: "(inlib) /lib/vfmt_streams -- name not found (OS/naming server)" The /lib/vfmt_streams shared library has been merged into the /lib/streams directory since SR9.5 and no longer exists. >> Tried to start /bin/csh: >> "Cross rev. incompatibility, sr9.5 code calling pre-sr9.5 code >> (process manager/loader)" This version of Macapollo is compiled with SR9.2 code and probably uses inlib to load in their own shared library to cause your 9.5 code "/bin/csh" to dynamically link into some 9.2 or earlier compiled code at runtime. Unlike most things in the ADUS library the Macapollo donation did not come with source code so you can't fix/modify the code yourself. I will let the keepers of ADUS here know that they should either obtain a newer version of Macapollo from U. of M. or else remove this very old version from distribution. Anyone at U. of M. care to donate a newer version? By the way, there is a company called IPT which makes a very nice Macintosh interconnect product to the Apollo so you can sit at your Macintosh and open up folder icons that access the Domain file system.

RE: Mac <-> Apollo, IPT version Does the IPT version have any security protection built-in? Since most of the Macs are in open office, anyone can just walk in and click on a file. I hate to see this(no protection) happen on our net unless something is done. Jinfu Chen

I have just got my demo in so I can't say from experience, but I asked the people at IPT the same question. They said that one must log in before they can access the Apollo disk. If you would like a summary of my experiences with the IPT demo, please send me mail. If the stuff does everything it claims to, I will probably buy it. -- --------------------------------- UUCP: {uunet, ihnp4!umn-cs}!hi-csc!giebelhaus ARPA: hi-csc!giebelhaus@umn-cs.arpa Nobody I know admits to sharing my opinions.
