Date: 28 Dec 1995 17:37:35 GMT Organization: Skepsis Research and Development Lines: 31 Message-ID: <4bukkv$ooa@sundog.tiac.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: omphalos.skepsis.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (X11; I; BSD/OS 2.0 i386) X-URL: news:comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc#4bsdpn$2pa@ptdcs5.al.intel.com .. to V2.0.1 (from V1.1)... It took seven hours - not bad. Almost everything works (yay!). One bug: tail craps out on large files. I mean *really* craps out - the output is essentially "cat". (By large I mean 54MB, a "tail -1 the_big_file" just starts cat-ing from the top of file onto the screen... ugh - there MIGHT be an error printed at the top...) Smaller files (3.5MB) do just fine... [The file is the monthly access hits from httpd --- so next month I'll be able to narrow down just when a file becomes "too big".] One huge question: OK - I had tried in vain to get a working version of workman under V1.1... I was told by several people that they could get it working under V2.X. Now I have V2.X, I grab workman from ftp.bsdi.com, I try running it, and "no CD found by libcdrom"... Hello??? What's the cleanup that needs to be done? Does anyone have this working? If so, could you *please* toss me a line to a working copy (or working libraries if that's the problem). I haven't checked to see what version the XView library is under V2.0.1, I'm *assuming* that it's fresh enough (yeah, yeah, mistake #2), and I remember from my earlier attempts that there's code missing in libcdrom, but again I figured that this was all sorted out by now...
