myself am unfamiliar with RT-11 but there might possibly be someone over on
|
|
DELPHI who has some big machine experience. OS9's shell (at least the standard
|
|
one) is not all that powerfull Perhaps one of the expanded shells would be
|
|
closer. You are, I presume going to be doing this on a 68000 class machine?

Robert -
|
|
|
|
It's unlikely...
|
|
|
|
On the bright side. the PDP-11's architecture and the 68000 are surprisingly
|
|
similar... I wonder if that had anything to do with the fact that MOTORLA used
|
|
a lot of PDP-11's in their radio/dispatch systems (I used to work for them)...

David. Thanks for the reply. Yes, calling pwd and shoving the output down a
|
|
pipeline will work well. Since I posed the question, I've rewritten my file
|
|
selector in ved/68000 so that it no longed does any chd()s...that means that
|
|
ved now has to keep track of relative pathlists. Still not the idea solution,
|
|
but it works well.
|
|
|
|
Using pipes to grab the output of standard os9 utilities is a very powerful and
|
|
useful technique. I tend to avoid it in commercial products: one can never be
|
|
sure that the utilities you _think_ are standard actaully generate the output
|
|
you expect; nor do all systems end up with the same set of "standard" utilities
|
|
(mind you, assuming pwd in Level II and pd in OSk would probably be safe...).
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the input.

Bob,
|
|
|
|
I need a little help with something. I have a file that I am trying to
|
|
print out into 3 columns. The file has about 200 lines in it and each line is
|
|
26 characters long. I put the printer in condensed mode and I get thre columns
|
|
just fine except that the left column starts one line lower than the center and
|
|
right columns. What do I need to set to stop this? The lines in the file are:
|
|
|
|
co 3 \fc 100044 2.5000 100067 9.0000 104020
|
|
5.9000
|
|
|
|
the file continues like this till the end. I have tried putting
|
|
co 1 and the end to balance them out, which is does, but that first line is
|
|
still low.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|

Keith, sounds like you might have an extra CR in your file?? If you send me a
|
|
part of your file (so that I can duplicate the error) I'll be glad to figure it
|
|
out. Easyiest to lha the file and put it in my mailbox. BTW, I can't really
|
|
figure this out from the message since CIS does its own linewrapping...If you
|
|
are posting info in which you want line breaks to remain, use the store
|
|
unformatted option or start each line with a blank.

I will look for an extra line CR in the file. If I still can't get it to work
|
|
I will send you the file. Thanks for the hints on how to handle a text file

Yes, permissions weren't the problem, except that NFS won't let OS9 rename
|
|
files by simply manipulating the directories. I have to use I$SETSTT to
|
|
request the rename. I got this info from Microware as I had previously faxed a
|

query and their reply got to me that day after I posted the note on Compuserve.

Thanks for you thoughts.

Keith,

Would it be possible for you to send me the message file? So far I've been
|
|
unable to recreate the problem, but I'll keep working on it. It would help if I
|
|
could see what was causing the 103 error. You can either mail me the file,
|
|
using IX, or upload the file to any data library here and mark it to my
|
|
attention, thanks!
|
|
|
|
BTW, on CompuServe you can limit the fourm entry screens by specifying the
|
|
ForumEntry=flash option. This tells IX to only collect forum entry information
|
|
if there is a news flash, otherwise it collects nothing. This is not available
|
|
on Delphi. I'm considering (for a future release) alternate aging options for
|
|
different sections, including the automatic message section (where the forum
|
|
entry messages go).

Tony,
|
|
|
|
I saw your message to Kevin Darling about Kix\30 users. I just got one. You are
|
|
right it is a screamer. I had been using a Hazelwood QT2 (68000, 10 Mhz). The
|
|
68030 at 16 Mhz is a rocket by comparison. I used to be able to take a break
|
|
during compiles but no more. I have a Quantum LPS 120S running on it and that
|
|
helps it move along. (My QT2 has an ST225N.)
|
|
|
|
The documentation is great except for the lack of a parts list and a
|
|
description of the switches on the 4s2p board. I think, however, that I can
|
|
figure it out.
|
|
|
|
I also got Frank Hogg's load of PD software (Users Group, TOP, Sterm, Ispell
|
|
etc.) It is a great collection of programs. I have miles to go to figure out
|
|
what I have and use it all.
|
|
|
|
All in all I am delighted to have upgraded to a product which is more state of
|
|
the art. (I look forward to receiving the Version 2.4 upgrade, too.)

Bob,

I downloaded the newer unzip from here and I have a question for you. I
|
|
am using it with a QWK packet reader under OSK and it seems to handle the
|
|
conversion of CR LF=>LF differently than the older version that I have. When I
|
|
use the a option and then I list out the file it is not line up to the left. It
|
|
goes
|
|
like
|
|
this across the
|
|
screen. If I leave off the a option it is lined up on the left but there is an
|
|
extra line feed. I believe that you where in on the port of this. If not maybe
|
|
you could direct me in the right direction.
|
|
|
|
Thanks

Yes, I did post the unzip. It was a real quick and dirty port (ie. I stopped
|
|
when it appeared to work and I got my files unpacked). Don't know about QWK.
|
|
From the description in your message it appears that line feeds are NOT being
|
|
deleted from the file. Hmmm, just looked at the source. It appears that the
|
|
LF/CR translation is converting a LF/CR pair to a LF (this is how unix likes it
|
|
files). I had a quick look...and don't see a real easy fix...I'll have a look
|
|
later this weekend and see what I can come up with. For now, you can just use
|
|
TR to convert LFs to CRs....

Hey Bob,
|
|
|
|
I did the same thing with Lha(rc) It's pretty simple. Just save the last char
|
|
you are putting to the file. If you get a LF don't output anything, then on
|
|
the next char, check it the last one was a LF, if the current char is a CR
|
|
output it, if it was anything else, output a CR then the current char. This
|
|
add the need to do an extra loop at EOF to make sure the last LF get's output
|
|
as a CR. (In case the file only had LF's).
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps,
