It looks like the only way I'm going to get net access after I move to New York State next month is to set up my own node. I'm not thrilled about using my Mac II, since that's my workhorse machine, so I'm thinking about getting an SE/30 and hanging the A/UX drive off that. Question: I know A/UX runs on the SE/30, but there seems to be seem problem with the screen. What are people using as TERM when running on the SE/30? Thanks a million.

What are people using as TERM when running on the SE/30? I've been runing A/UX on an SE/30. I haven't constructed a usable terminfo entry for the 9 inch screen but took a different approach. After getting to multi-user mode I run the supplied program "term". term allows you to create multiple windows and run programs inside those windows. term emulates a vt100 and the windows it creates fit on the SE screen. I find it a lot better than running from the single window console. Apple provides the source for term as an example of toolbox programming from A/UX so you can make it do what you want if you don't like its default behavior. Thanks Apple. Boyd Hays

I recently read a brouchere from Apple which stated that A/UX was available on the SE/30. When the SE/30 came out in 1989, Apple said it was not supporting A/UX on the SE/30. Has this changed? If A/UX is available, what happens to the software I have purchased for my SE/30? Even if A/UX isn't available on the SE/30 and I trade in for a IIci, will I be able to use my existing software? My software includes MacWrite II, MacDraw, drives for my DeskWriter, various inits and CDEVs (After Dark, Virex, Language Master, etc.) The reason I am interested in upgrading to A/UX is because I am running Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp (MACL). I have artificial intelligence software running in MACL and this AI software is gobbling up all 8MB I start MACL up with. I know Franz, Inc. sells Allegro Common Lisp for A/UX, v1.x. Anyone with experience with ACL for A/UX know how much memory I can run ACL with? I have 8MB real memory on my SE/30. I would like to run Franz ACL under at least 16MB (perhaps up to 24MB). Does anyone know if Franz ACL runs under A/UX 2.0 (it is currently supported for A/UX 1.x only). By-the-bye, I have asked my Apple distributor and Franz, Inc. sales staff the above questions and did not get any clear answers. So I turn to those who have some experience with A/UX. +---------------+-------------------+-------------------------------+ | Chuck Rapp | rapp@balr.com | Also: rapp@tellabs.com | | BALR, Inc. | uunet!balr!rapp | | +---------------+-------------------+-------------------------------+ -- +---------------+-------------------+-------------------------------+ | Chuck Rapp | rapp@balr.com | Also: rapp@tellabs.com | | BALR, Inc. | uunet!balr!rapp | | +---------------+-------------------+-------------------------------+

I don't know about their official policy (which I was under the impression said it is NOT a supported configuration), but I am currently running A/UX on a MacSE/30 and it works fine. -- mas I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own
