Could someone out there please summarize the differences between the 9013 and 9005 loads? I'm wondering wether I should spend more time working around "features" of AIX or if they are changed (fixed) in the new load. One thing I have hit a roadblock on is getting a bidirectional uucp line to work. If anyone else out there has managed this could you please drop me a line as to how to do it. As well changing the speed line in /etc/ports to 19200 seems to have no effect. Is there something else that has to be changed to change the speed for a getty. Overall I'm quite pleased with the 6000. I've moved over cnews, and vn with no problem (except that cron setup is brain dead). I moved over smail 3.1 with only a few problems (awk doesn't like "if ( !dummy ) and if a string is defined as char *dummy="string" it segment violates if you try to change a charter in dummy). We have our PROGRESS applications moved over and they run great. Geoff Coleman Unexsys Systems e-mail: geoff@edm.uucp

The problem where modifying dummy causes a Segmentation violation is due to ANSI C, I suspect. ANSI C says that you can't change any part of a string constant (or words to that effect). If you want to get around this, change the definition/declaration from char *dummy="string" to char dummy[]="string". Not much difference, but just enough for ANSI. >Geoff Coleman Steve DeJarnett Internal: steve@ibmpa.tcspa.ibm.com IBM AWD Palo Alto UUCP: ibmsupt!ibmpa!steve@uunet.uu.net (415) 855-3510 These opinions are my own. I doubt IBM wants them.......
