Can someone mail me a list of differences between the September 1988 4.3 release and the latest (December?) ? Thanks, Steve heimlich@seine.cs.umd.edu

The most important differences are: 1 - hc2.x now works 2 - printing on the ibm 3812 no longer works reliably.

1) HC 2.X doesn't work (at least not the one we have). This is an
improvement (:- over HC 1.4 which generated wrong object code.
2) YP (except for passwd and group) doesn't work. We know why this is
so but don't feel like recompiling the entire system (it was compiled
wrong).
3) 3812 doesn't work reliably (depends on phase of moon).
4) DBX doesn't work.

The RT 4.3 AOS does not come configured for YP but can be with some work. The same thing is true for host name recognition. I for one don't want YP compiled into my system. >3) 3812 doesn't work reliably (depends on phase of moon). I don't use this so I don't know. I never did like the 3812 printer anyway. Use a $^%$* laser writer! >4) DBX doesn't work. Works for me. You may have found some bugs but all in all it works. DBX is not 100% reliable even when it is working, you may have run into this. >Henry >henryc@cs.umr.edu JonnyG.
