To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Hi,
I upgraded to the new 6.0 version of DOS last weekend, and now the
status command is not working properly. I added the case 6 as Doug
said in his message, but either get no listing of open files or
garbage. I know it must have something to do with the entrylen, but
I don't know what the magic number is. I am using PA0GRI 20.p version
of nos.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or what else I have to change
to make it work. I am sure this question is going to come up alot.
Thanks, Ed wa9yyf

Sorry for this screwup.....
Don't know what I was thinking but this is the correct logic
also the change to ksubr.c - text labeling does not apply.
I had been looking at an old version.
If you have the following in ksubr.c it is correct - 108d (df)
static char *Taskers[] = {
"",
"DoubleDos",
"DesqView",
"Windows",
"DOS 5.x",
"OS/2 2.0 DOS emulation",
"OS/2 2.0 virtual boot machine or other DPMI environment"
};
You may want to change the DOS 5.x to DOS5/6.x or something like that.

Subject: IBUFS in JNOS
To: nos-bbs@hydra.carleton.CA
Ok here is what I have done about the intq stuff after hearing Phil's
and other comments.
I replaced the JNOS mbuf.c in entirety with Phil's Net version.
I removed all references to refiq() from config.c
I commented out all references to donibufs and doibufsize in alloc.c
I replaced a portion of the network function in config.c with a
portion of the network function from Phil's code (iface.c)
This eliminates the Nibufs entirely. I don't know if that is good
or bad but it is easy enough to find out!
I may have missed one thing in that description but it will show up
very quiclkly in a compile. The bottom line is that it took about
15 minutes and was rather easy. Now I have to see what the impact
is!!
If anyone wants to try it (108d/df) I could supply the modules I changed.

To: nos-bbs@hydra.carleton.CA
No I am now issuing another NOS version but I had to call it something
here!
As per Phil's advice I added alloc.c in entirety to JNOS along with
the earlier changes. This brought about a problem with the availmem
function that required changes in a number of modules.
Availmen() in JNOS returned an unsigned long of memory bytes, in Phil's
code he changed that to an int return - 0 if OK - so all of the
instances of 'if (availmem > memthresh)' had to be changed to
'if (availmem())' and of course other logic in some places.
Anyhow after a few hours of chasing all of that stuff it is RUNNING!!
and it seems stable - I have run ethernet and asy and at least ethernet
seems about 10% faster - but that is not a scientific test.
So no more intq and Phil's new memory alloc updates are running in JNOS.
I also added - coreleft - to the memory status display - Phil had left
it out in his code - I am use to seeing it.
So will run it here on my server and let you know the results - so far
good. I will be outta town tomorrow - back Thurs. night.
The changes are NUMEROUS so I would probably have to supply a number of
modules. I can get them together and ship them to ucsd if anyone wants
to try this.
Not sure where Johan is on the update but if he wants to include or try
this I could get something to him early Friday.

The following is a fix to add to JNOS108D or Df. It is needed for DOS 6.0.
Also previously no text was defined for some of the tasks and when
doing a PS the "running under" would give garbage.
Change this function in ksubr.c
static char *Taskers[] = {
"",
"DoubleDos",
"DesqView",
"Windows",
"DOS",
"OS2",
"DPMI"
};
Add the marked lines in pcgen.asm

I posted this once last week, but I think it went into that great bit-bucket
in the sky, since a copy never got back here. Oh, well.... One More TIME!

Good news and bad news! The good news is that PacComm has recently hired a
Manager of Software Development, who has the responsibility of (among other
things) straightening this thing out.
The bad news is that I am that person, and it will take a week or so to get
worked out. I will be working on getting a new OFFICIAL release locked down,
getting it documented, and out the door.

I also will be determining policies for bug fixes and bug reporting.

Subject: uploads to UCSD
To: tcp-group
UCSD ran out of space - all 300+ megabytes of it - last night whilst some
people were uploading new stuff to the incoming directory. Since a large
number of FTP servers don't notice when that occurs, I'll betcha there are
some damaged files there.
I blew away all the files that looked incomplete to me, and did a bit of
cleanup.
If you uploaded a file to UCSD in the past few days, please go check it and
send a fresh version if the one there is damaged. Just put it in incoming;
that directory was empty when I finished.
Oh, and that's hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming - not /incoming.

Subject: WAMPES patch available
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
I have uploaded wampes-930402.patch01.Z to UCSD.EDU into
"/hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming". This will bring WAMPES version
930402 up to version 930406. This patch solves all 386BSD problems
known to me.
This is the README file:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
wampes-xxxxxx.tar.Z is a compressed tar archive of WAMPES, which is a
NET/NOS port to HP-UX. It currently supports HP 9000 series 300, 400,
700, and 800 computers, running HP-UX 08.xx or HP-UX 09.xx.
I also ported the software to SunOS 4.1.2 and to 386BSD 0.1.34, and it
compiles there, but I do not have enough time to really test it.
Feedback is welcome.
WAMPES was also ported to Linux running on a 386 by Olaf Erb, dc1ik.
Comments and questions about the Linux port of WAMPES please to Olaf
Erb, <erb@insu1.etec.uni-karlsruhe.de>
To unpack this archive you should create the directory /tcp and cd to
it. After unpacking please read the file /tcp/doc/intro.txt.
wampes-xxxxxx.tar.Z and all followups should go into
/hamradio/packet/tcpip/wampes on UCSD.EDU.
