I'm a new SGI user and one of the things I haven't been able to find is a driver for a Postscript printer. I would like to be able to print out some of the images that I have created, on my NEC postscript printer. Is there some public domain software that will do this? What about the newest version of the operating system (which I haven't received yet), does it have a postscript printer driver? -- Ivan Vesely, Ph.D. John P. Robarts Research Institute P.O.

Can anyone tell me whether SGI is really shipping 8Mb SIMMs with the new 4D-35s? And either way, will 4Mb SIMMs work on the new CPU boards? We are currently considering buying 4Mb SIMMs for our 4D-20s, but we don't want them to go to waste when (if) we upgrade them to 4D-35s.

Bad news first: It wont talk to Convexes CXbatch. Good news: Works as expected, with much more comfort around than the nice'ing stuff. Supports various limits (as from 3.3 on, the rlimit calls are implemented), including per-proc CPU time, working set, core file size, data segment size, per-proc permanent file size, and some others. I did not encounter problems so far, and am rather happy with it. The problem is the memory; once you have a large number of queues doing some jobs, the swapper turns on and will block your system rather heavily even if the priorities of the jobs has been niced to a very low valye.

Has anyone had any experience with C++ on Silicon Graphics machines? Is it possible to compile g++ ? Are there any class definitions (similiar to InterViews) which make it easier to program the graphics interface?

Does anyone know from where I can ftp the latest version of Kermit for the SGI machines (4D/25, to be specific)? The version we have only works at up to 9600 baud.... is there one which supports 19,200 or faster? I know the hardware can run at at least 19,200.

The only way I could use terminal windows of the vax efficiently was to install UCX on the VAX, which enables me to run create/term on VMS, giving me a DECWINDOWS terminal. (Using tcp/ip as transport 8-) in this case). Alternatively, you could start xterm on the SGI, and run sethost from there. Regards Reinhard
