In the past week, I have received three PTFs from IBM support: - PTF 1745; Looks like a major update, 8 diskettes in all. They sent it to me to fix a C compiler bug I had reported (%c in scanf() was skipping white space). This PTF requires the VRM to be at level 1705 or later. Contains fixes for: Client Partial for sendmail Usability Services Partial INed Program IBM RT PC 3270 AIX Device Driver Accounting Support Administrative Support uucp, ct, cu Support DOS Services Ethernet Data Link Control IEEE 802.3 Data Link Control Extended Programming Support Graphics and Statistics Commands Advanced Display GSL Message Handler (MH) Multiprotocol Adapter Device Driver System Activity Recording SCSI Device Driver Source Code Control Sendmail SDLC Data Link Control IBM RT PC 3278/79 DFT Device Driver BASEBAND ADAPTER DEVICE DRIVER TOKEN RING ADAPTER DEVICE DRIVER IBM RT PC SCSI Device Driver Multiprotocol Adapter Device Driver IBM RT PC 3270 AIX Device Driver Token-Ring Data Link Control vi Editor Base System Program Usability Services Program INmail/INnet/FTP - PTF 1723; 3 diskettes, updates X to MIT V11R3 (almost) X-Windows 2.1 X-Windows Examples 2.1 - PTF 1707; new VRM release. I don't know what it was supposed to fix; unfortuantely, after loading this PTF my system wouldn't boot. When I re-installed 1705, everything was ok again. The IBM support people in Zuerich said they had the same problem. We don't know yet if we just got a bad copy somehow, or if this is a bogus PTF. jw
