- 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 !

- 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.
