After loading one of them: 1) logon as root 2) cd / 3) restore -xvf dos1735.restor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/04/14 x111714 seems to be the long awaited upgrade of the stuff other than the server to R3. There is a glich however, the HP widget library is still at R2 and incompatible with the the R3 intrinsics. If you try to do a make in X11/Xamples, it will fail in X11/Xamples/widgets. Either comment out that make temporarily or wait for the fixes. (Working on it). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/04/25 new files: mpp.1736 - should not need dos1735.restor pcsim.1204 x11.1715 - HP widgets still do not compile (still working on solution) - xcalc crashes server - xbiff core dumps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/05/03 new files: nfs.1110 x11.1716 - HP widgets compile but core dump on the test programs - xcalc crashes server on megapel - works on apa16 - xbiff core dumps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/05/05 packed all the big files with FCOPY (PACK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/05/05 new files: cobol.1104 whip.1202 mpp.1740 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/05/17 The field has removed snaserv1708 due to a problem. It should be fixed in the near future. I have snaserv1707 but will not put it out for a few days hoping a forward advance happens. If you MUST have it send me a note. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/06/05 new files: cobol.1105 VSFortran.F20B VSPascal.F20B -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/06/09 new files: cobol.1106 tcpip.1716 (after installing restart inetd - or reboot) pcsim.1205 x11.1721 see bug fix below I have gotten and installed x111721 but there are two make files that are wrong. They both have the same problem. They are the ones in XawR2 and widgetsR2/1. The fix is: change INCX = /usr/include to /usr/include/X11/R2 interchange the library order putting INCX in front of BSD. vrm1705.dd1 vrm1705.dd2 opsys.1739 These three are a set. The two vmr files are new vrm diskettes. Copy them to floppies with: dd if=vrm... of=/dev/rfd0 bs=7680. I don't know what the relation of opsys.1739 is to mpp.1740 but since that is known to have bugs I recommend against it. opsys.1739 and the two vrm's should be considered mandatory for APC processors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/06/15 replace opsys.1739 with one with permissions set correctly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/06/19 new files: snaserv.1711 mpp.1742 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/07/06 new files: x11.1722 tcpip.1719 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/07/06 new files: x11.1723 VSFortran.F26 VSPascal.F26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/07/20 newfiles: mpp.1745 Note this contains opsys.1739 which is mandatory and requires the new vrm. vrm1705.dd1 vrm1705.dd2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/07/21 Fixed file - yesterdays got truncated somewhere along the line. mpp.1745 newfiles: tcpip.1721 whip.1203 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/07/28 newfiles: cobol.1108 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/08/14 new files: whip.1204 snaserv.1712 pcsim.1209 mpp.1749 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/09/12 After several weeks of the network to Austin being down here are a whole bunch of new files. new files: mpp.1751 pcsim.1210 tcpip.1725 x11.1726 ds.1708 VSfortran.F34 VSpascal.F34 cobol.1111 If you installed mpp.1740 see below - else ignore aix_fsync.o (not compressed - download FSYNC O in binary and rename as aix_fsync.o - not needed if you never installed mpp.1740) Dennis - If a customer has installed mpp.1740 (opsys) they should do something like the following to restore the old Version of aix_fsync.o to there system. This will allow them to reject/apply updates without seeing some of the problems we saw with the 1740 version of fsysnc - namely programs used in the apply/reject process would memory fault and thus cause the update to fail. The "sum -r aix_fsync.o" should return "58510 2" . umount allr killall sync;sync cd /usr/sys cp /tmp/aix_fsync.o /usr/sys/aix_fsync.o sync;sync; ar rv lib1 aix_fsync.o sync;sync make sync;sync; cp /usr/sys/unix.std /unix.std sync;sync; ln /unix.std /unix chmod 0444 /unix sync;sync shutdown -fr -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/09/23 mpp.1751 is reported to have bad bugs (left on the disk for the adventuresome) mpp1749 has been put back on the disk new files: nfs.1111 cobol.1112 snaserv.1713 tcpip.1727 x11.1727 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/09/27 snaserv.1713 has disappeared from alien and been replaced with snaserv.1712 x11.1727 has been reported to have bugs on matrox displays -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/10/18 new file: tcpip.1728 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/10/20 if you have tcpip.1727 installed replace it with 1728 soon. rcp is badly broken in 1727. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/11/2 new file: x11.1731 (not on alien yet - see below) Date: 1 November 89, 11:19:16 PST From: Myron Flickner 457-1776 (408)927-17 FLICK at ALMADEN To: DAN at YKTVMV Dan - I sent you x11.1731. I put it on my machine last night and I haven't had any problems with the various parts I've apared. Support told me two apars didn't make it thru test - one involves the matrox card, the other problem involves the 6154 or 6153 I don't remember which. Tom Engelsiepen has a test case that causes the server to mess up when XPutImage is called under certain conditions. He will send his test case to support for an apar and fix. My 24 hour impression is this is the best fix level I've seen since 1721, not perfect but okay. I think you should put it on rttools. imaging away / flick -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/11/3 delete file: x11.1731 (not the right version of 1731) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89/11/13 Look at MAINTLVL ANSWERS on IBMUNIX for the latest available fixes to AIX.

Could you add it to 221UPDTP PACKAGE? The image is in restore/backup format, and has not been compressed by any means. I hope this is correct.
