I have seen in the past a 'pathalias' that worked on a 286. I have tried to compile the current pathalias, but it does not run. I can compile it on a 386 and all is well. Can some nice person send me the necessary patch or a working binary? I am currently sending the maps (compressed) to a 386-site and crunching the data over there then sending it back to me. I run Smail and need a up-to-date paths file on my system. Thanks for all that might help. (I promise to archive it for futures). -- rick@lrark.UUCP * bang path --> uunet!ddi1!lrark!rick * Ricky Mobley * LRTUG (501) 224-9454 * 1800 Sanford Dr. #4 * GEnie Unix RT SysOp address LRARK * Little Rock, AR 72207 * WB5FDP.AR.USA.NA wb5fdp.ampr.org *

I can compile it on a >386 and all is well. A fellow *nixen found it in New York and retrieved it for me. It was written by Chip Salzenberg Feb 88. It still works and solved my problem. I have placed the patch on GEnie in the 'unix' section to make it easy to get. Thanks for all that gave it an effort. -- rick@lrark.UUCP * bang path --> uunet!ddi1!lrark!rick * Ricky Mobley * LRTUG (501) 224-9454 * 1800 Sanford Dr. #4 * GEnie Unix RT SysOp address LRARK * Little Rock, AR 72207 * WB5FDP.AR.USA.NA wb5fdp.ampr.org *

You need to add "-M2" to your CFLAGS and LDFLAGS when you compile it (the source has an #ifdef for M_I286, which is only defined when you set that flag). You should also increase your stack size (ie., "-F 4000" in LDFLAGS). If it still dies, you don't have enough physical memory to digest all of the USENET map (XENIX 286 doesn't have virtual memory). You'll probably need 4 Mb. - Lowell -- Lowell J. Gray EcoSoft, Inc. tel: 508 651 8722 ljg@ecosoft.com 13 Priscilla Path uunet!ecosoft!ljg Wayland, MA 01778 USA
