Information for people who have requested a 2.9BSD tape from
The Center for Seismic Studies or Harvard University.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

O Happy Days...

All of the tapes I have received as of 30 August 85 are in the mail.
Therefore, if you haven't received a tape from me by the end of next
week, you probably want to let me know immediately.  If anyone's
interested, I've sent out around 100 tapes so far.

Which brings up a slightly more painful subject.  I will be posting, to
net.bugs.2bsd, as often as necessary, a list of problems/explanations.
Otherwise known as Where Bostic Messed Up, or, perhaps, Why They Done What
They Did.   I am also mailing this first posting to my list of people known
to have an unhealthy interest in 2.9BSD.  If you DO NOT receive net.bugs.2bsd
at your site, please send me mail letting me know this and your favorite
e-mail address.  I will then add you to a mailing list at seismo that
distributes copies of all postings to net.bugs.2bsd.  Please do this
immediately, and continue to send me mail until I respond.  Otherwise you
won't get the copies of the stuff people send to Usenet.

Also, I know I keep repeating this, but we are actively seeking out bug
reports -- we expect this system to work and we want to know when it doesn't.

Well, on to the good stuff!

Bug/Question:
	Where or what is isr.o?
Answer:
	sys/conf/makefiles/Make.sys and sys/conf/makefiles/Makefile think
	that you need to have a file called isr.[so] in the sys/sys directory.
	They're wrong.  It can be removed totally.  Here are the diffs.

diff Make.sys.wrong Make.sys.right
25,30c25
< all: ${SYS} ${CONF} isr.o
< 
< isr.o:	../sys/isr.s
< 	${CPP} ${CPPFLAGS} ../sys/isr.s > isr.i
< 	${AS} -o isr.o isr.i
< 	-rm isr.i
---
> all: ${SYS} ${CONF}

diff Makefile.wrong Makefile.right

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug/Question:
	Localopts.h doesn't define MENLO_JCL and UCB_SYMLINKS anymore.

Answer:
	This is not a bug.  These two defines (I think they were the only
	two) have been removed from the includes and source files.  Basically,
	you don't have a choice as to whether they are turned on or not, they
	are on all the time.  They have been left in the namelist, though,
	so no software should break.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug/Question:
	If you define UCB_SUBM in localopts.h routines like acct.c and slp.c
	you don't have a flag SSUBM defined anywhere.

Answer:
	Well, as far as I can tell, SSUBM was never defined, so your guess
	as to what it should be is as good as anyone elses.  UCB_SUBM is a
	2.9 specific define that has to do with the submit(2) and killbkg(2)
	calls in the C library.  Since the calls are not implemented in 4.[23],
	I suspect that it will go away in my version of 2.9 and any future
	releases Harvard and/or I make in the future.  Job control and "stty
	nohang" pretty much cover the ground.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug/Question:
	Where is include/sys.s?

Answer:
	Ulp, missed that one.  It's included below, or you can take the one
	from your 2.9 distribution tape, either one will work fine.

Bug/Question:
	libcurses compiles fine, ld complains about some missing signal
	calls.

Answer:
	True, so true.  The solution is to comment out the calls, honest.
	Here is the diff.
