Does someone have a fixed version of kermit for Microport version 3.0e?
One that thinks tty lock files belong in /usr/spool/locks instead
of the pre-HDB-UUCP /usr/spool/uucp? I guess I could get the source
and fix (i.e. recompile) it myself, but...

The supplied make file takes the system you're compiling for as a parameter (e.g. make sys3, make bsd, make xenix, etc.). Instead of making sys5, just make att3bx instead -- according to the documentation the only difference between att3bx and sys5 is where the lock files go! (I've notified Microport and suggested they post the correct version to the BBS, and I will suggest to the powers that be at Columbia that they might want to change the #define and make parameters to be a little more obvious as well.) ---- Larry Jones UUCP: uunet!sdrc!scjones SDRC scjones@sdrc.uucp 2000 Eastman Dr. BIX: ltl Milford, OH 45150 AT&T: (513) 576-2070 "Save the Quayles" - Mark Russell

I recently did get the sources for 4D(061), the same one originally distributed with SV/AT (are there any others?). I used the makefile included to build it under SV/AT, and it seems to have worked perfectly. When I tried the same thing under ISC 386/ix, the compiler fails. It turns out that things like 'unchar' are now defined in one of the system header files, causing a conflickt with some definitions in the kermit sources. I'm going to fix the kermit sources, along with the lock files for HDB (*when I have time*). I'll be happy to post, if requested. (Hmmm... to save the deluge, how 'bout if I post a notice here when it's done and working, then people can write to request it.) While I'm at it, is there any reason that I shouldn't use a link from /usr/spool/uucp/LCK* to /usr/spool/locks/LCK* if both directories exist? That way, the correct lock should exist regardless of which version of UUCP is running. Thoughts on this anyone? mike borza <nusip@maccs.UUCP>
