Juengst) Organization: Universit"at Bonn, Informatikinstitut, R"omerstr 154, W-5300 Bonn 1 Lines: 48 Hello, first, let's say thank you very much to Bill, Lynne, William Jolitz and all other people working for 386BSD. I had some little problems with the distributed files and the file MANIFEST. I have to use "swab" option on the Data General DG/UX 88K machines here (nice things). But all files with odd numbers of bytes produce errors and are left as they are. :-( I solved this problem on a SUN sparc station. I like tar much more, but it's not a 100% solution. Another problem were the check sums in MANIFEST, because I didn't know how to calculate these values and sum (with or without -r) didn't work. A simple addition of all bytes didn't work, too. I found cksum in srcdist and compiled it. Some definition problems had to be resolved (quick hack). DG/UX 5.4.1 is a System V R4. Now I can begin to verify all files here (first check done) and use 386BSD for education (for no money) in an astronomical observatory (SNH, Erkrath/Germany) which is open for everybody. I hope this modified cksum will help anybody just to verify the contributed files before moving them to anywhere. Use make.sh to compile it. But have a look before you start. May be you have to change _PROTO_ARGS in all *.c & *.h using sed 's/_PROTO_ARGS/YOUR_PROTOTYPE_MACRO/g' file.c >file.new.c (it was __P in the original source). If you are not sure you should have a look into your /usr/include/stdio.h (for example). THIS IS NO PATCH FOR 386BSD ! Henry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, here should be the uuencoded .tar.Z file. But the nntp server fails because out of disk space; 40 kbytes - mmmh. You can get it via anonymous ftp from boss1.physik.uni-bonn.de:~ftp/pub/386bsd/cksum_dgux/cksum_dg.uue [131.220.221.30] for the next two month. You won't waste your time if you have a look into the other directories (e.g. ~ftp/pub/dcl) ! If you don't have ftp access you can mail me. I will send it to you.
