Hello fellow prisoners in segmented hell.
I've received a few requests for what I did to make 'Pcomm' work
on uport286. Well, the original author was kind enough to post a
patch recently (patch #5) which fixes almost all uport286 problems.
Tacked on below are a few lines I changed to clean up the help window
a bit (some differences in the way curses works internally, I'm afraid)
and changed 'lpr' from the printer destination to 'lp' [ I don't know why
/usr/bin/lpr is set as the default spool program for a System V program ... ].
Finally, the trivial makefile changes I made to compile large model are
attached. It purposely adds a search for a libxmalloc.a. This is because
I cannot get Pcomm to work with uport286 malloc. I tried libmalloc.a as
well, but it croaked the linker. I then turned to the excellent version of
malloc posted recently by Charles Hedrick (hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu) to
this newsgroup. The problems I was having evaporated. Well done!
If you don't have a copy of this around, I can send one to you.
