While both are commercial products, K-Windows is platform specific to the MM/1.
|
|
THere has been talk of porting it to other platforms but I'm not sure where
|
|
this stands.
|
|
|
|
GWindows is better suited for cross platform support. Gespac offers it for
|
|
sale. Their address is listed in the FAQ file in library 1. Look for
|
|
OS9FAQ.TXT.

Yes, dir -e shows VED as being owned by user 0.0. Also, it shows public execute
|
|
permisssion. And the module attributes show it being owned by user 0.0...and it
|
|
has public exec. permission. That is why this is so strange...if there is a
|
|
problem with attributes you get an error 214. However, I am getting an error
|
|
164! Hey guys...this is really bugging me...any suggestions are welcome!

Oh, this is interesting. I just checked the output of dir -e again...only to
|
|
discover that the owner of VED is 31.0. Now, I have no idea of how this was
|
|
changed from the normal 0.0...espcially since I am the only one who can compile
|
|
it <g>. So, I changed the ownership to 0.0 and now user 5.5 can execute the
|
|
program...just like things should be.
|
|
|
|
However, I still don't understand this:
|
|
|
|
- file owner 31.0, public exec permission
|
|
- module owner 0.0, public exec permission
|
|
|
|
- attempts by user 5.5 to execute program generate error 164.
|
|
|
|
I thought that if the public exec bit was set, then anyone could exec the
|
|
program, no matter what the program's ownership? Could someone explain this?

Bob,
|

|

But does your program do anything that only a superuser can do? Like use
|
|
F$Permit, or try to set the user id, etc?

No, not at all. Well, not right away. In any event, since the program has the
|
|
GHOST bit set, it should still load into memory before it craps out. I've done
|
|
some more sleuthing...on my mm/1 I can duplicate the problem with other
|
|
programs which, for sure, don't do anything funny. Don't know if there is
|
|
anything magic about user 31.0, but try setting a program to that user and then
|
|
log in as user 5.5. You should get the 164 error. However, on my MVME running
|
|
os9 3.0 I don't get the error. Looks like MW fixed something???

I discovered why my copy of ved had its ownership changed from 0.0 to 31.0. On
|
|
my other machine I used gtar to save all files on the HD to tape and then
|
|
reformatted the HD and restored the files. ALL THE FILES ON THE HD ARE NOW
|
|
OWNED BY 31.0!
|
|
|
|
I don't like this. I will have to play with gtar to see if this is avoidable.
|
|
In the meantime, I am running chown to restore my file ownerships.

Hi Ingo,
|
|
|
|
Yep - I've written some simple apps using the Distinct VBX's talking to OS-9
|
|
via TCP/IP. These PC apps actually sat on top of NetManage stack and
|
|
communicated at the WinSock level.
|
|
|
|
I had chosen the NetManage stack before I became aware of the Distinct tools;
|
|
however, no major problems so far. BUT we are using the Telnet VBX and not
|
|
FTP.
|
|
|
|
I did have some minor problems and contacted Distinct. No firm solutions were
|
|
found, but shortly after the problem seemed to go away!!
|
|
|
|
Shout if you want to discuss your problems further - I might be able to help
|
|
:-)
|
|
|
|
Regards,
|
|

RE : can't load VED from terminal

Do you mean they can run it if it is loaded? If they can't run it at all,
|
|
could it be that the attrib of some support files might be wrong, or maybe even
|
|
the text file(s) themselves, and the error report could be coming from within
|
|
the program? Being a relative newcomer to OSK, it's still a little new to me,
|
|
but this error #164 looks a little odd. I would think it is not coming from
|
|
the shell load itself.

I know what you mn doing an ident, which works).
|
|
|
|
I have some other modules with similar attributes and they work fine. Also, I'm
|
|
sure that this used to work!!!

permissions Fm: Kim Kempf 71161,3221 Tove been playing around with login

myself.. Seems like I've seen some posts about all this stuff before, but

they've disappeared somewhere.
|
|
|
|
If I understood my manual correctly, it said you had access to a file as long
|
|
as your Grp #'s matched _OR_ your User #'s matched. However, in playing around
|
|
with my system, you could access a file _ONLY_ if your User #'s matched.
|
|
Different Grp #'s would lock you out.. Is this the way it's supposed to be? I
|
|
just _KNOW_ I've seen this discussed before, but I've lost it.. sorry.
|
|
|
|
Also, it appears that "motd" is displayed if the GRP # is either 0 or 1, with
|
|
any user #, but not displayed for a higher Grp #. Is this the way it is?
