Does anyone else have the problem of the Daemon not reponding for MDG???? I orignally thought that this was due to the absence of the default player file but thats not the case. I now have a default now as well as a created player file and I still get no daemon response. things to note: 1) I have not set any UID's yet, I own everything 2) I had to use the termcap library instead of the tinfo library for the compile, we only have the former 3) GAME_HOME is the same as /usr/games as referred in the README file 4) the mdg_daemon is a CPU hog and the mdg_stop program does not work, I must do a manual kill to stop the clock and the daemon. 5) I've looked through the code and found nothing obvious. Any Help or Suggestions?? (I really don't want to do a major hack) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glen R.

Looking in the code my guess is you need something that looks like the below, hopfully the author will provide the correct stuff shortly. #! /bin/sh # This is a shell archive. Remove anything before this line, then unpack # it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file". To overwrite existing # files, type "sh file -c". You can also feed this as standard input via # unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g.. If this archive is complete, you # will see the following message at the end: # "End of shell archive." # Contents: players/default # Wrapped by doug@letni on Fri Feb 22 09:02:51 1991 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb ; export PATH if test -f 'players/default' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'players/default'\" else echo shar: Extracting \"'players/default'\" \(98 characters\) sed "s/^X//" >'players/default' <<'END_OF_FILE' X X0 X1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 X1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 X20:20 X20:20 X28 X[0/0] X6 X36453737 X0 al = 0 END_OF_FILE if test 98 -ne `wc -c <'players/default'`; then echo shar: \"'players/default'\" unpacked with wrong size! fi # end of 'players/default' fi echo shar: End of shell archive. exit 0

Also, a very important point not mentioned in the docs is that there needs to be a binary directory in mdg_dir/bin. The mdg_clock needs to be in that directory. -- Darin Johnson djohnson@ucsd.edu - Political correctness is Turing undecidable.

Did you restart the daemon after installing players/default? After getting everything installed correctly, including a default file, things worked for me. BTW, mdg_stop works fine for me.
