First, thanks to those replys to our questions. They are very helpful to us, but we still have some futher questions : >There exist, on the distribution, 386 versions for *some* flavors of >UNIX. Patchlevel 6 (if you don't have them already, you almost >certainly want to get all 6 patches that the ITC has put out for Andrew) >has support for both AIX on those 386 machines that it supports (IBM >PS/2s) and for Mach on 386 machines. Could anyone tell us what are these 6 patches? How can we get them? Our 386s are running SYSTEM V/386. Is this version(SYSTEM V/386) of Andrew Distribution available? >I believe that ATK has some new international-language features that may >be more appropriate to doing Chinese text than a new ATK inset, though >both paths are available. We have great interest to know what are these new international-language features. Could anyone tell us further details about these features? We are looking forward to your replys.

>Our 386s are running SYSTEM V/386. Is this version(SYSTEM V/386) of >Andrew Distribution available? I don't know of any; however, there is support for AIX on the PS/2, and that is probably a better starting point than the Mach-on-386-PClone support that was originally suggested (for one thing, AIX appears to use COFF, as does S5/386, while Mach-on-a-386 seems, from the support code, to use "a.out" format; I don't know which of the two is less BSDish in other ways).

Is this version(SYSTEM V/386) of > Andrew Distribution available? As has been mentioned, you are probably better off starting with the PS2-AIX port, which is probably more compatable with SYSTEM V/386. Patches are available via anonymous ftp to dublin.andrew.cmu.edu, or via mail. For more information on mail retrieval of information, send a (blank) piece of mail to andrew-service@andrew.cmu.edu > We have great interest to know what are these new international-language > features. Could anyone tell us further details about these features? The international language features are support for the ISO 8859 character set in text and mail, a compose character function to allow their entry, and printing support. So while this should be useful to the European ATK users, I doubt that it will have any impact on implementing Chinese text. Tom N.

That should be emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu, not dublin. dublin will not accept anonymous ftp. Sorry for the confusion.
