Here are just a few questions about Andrew from a wet behind the ears "user": I recently compiled and installed the andrews stuff from the MIT R4 tape on a Sun 4/330 running SunOS 4.0.3. After several odd failures, including having to compile andrew/oda/src/attr15.c with gcc (Sun's cc didn't work, as core dumped), I finally got some things to work. I'm still having some problems that the CMU readers may have answers for: 1. Console won't start. It core dumps just before or during the dup2 call in InitStats (andrew/atk/console/lib/vmmon.c). 2. Due to a lack of information I can't get the print file option in ez to produce output. I get "preparing output" or similar but no output. I don't have ditroff and linked ditroff to groff as an approximate solution. 3. I installed ispell version 2.0.02, and linked it to spell, but ez crashes when I try to do a spell check. 4. Where can I get some recent printed (or printable) Andrew manuals. I have a set from CMU copyright 1986 that seem a bit out of date. Are there other better distributions than the one on the MIT R4 tape, or are there patches available for it? To what extent is the successful installation and use of Andrew dependent upon having AFS? How does one use insets? I would like to try the link inset for the editor but don't quite know where to begin. Thanks much. To the CMU folks, I think Andrew is a great idea and seems to provide the kind of integrated environment I am looking for, but getting it running and finding documentation seems to be a problem!

So, if you haven't picked up the available patches yet they are available via anonymous ftp from the Internet host, emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu (Internet:128.2.30.62). Directory patches.
