Since we want to replace our 11/780 with ten DS5000/200, and therefore
have a DS3100 here to test ULTRIX (we used VMS up to now), I encountered
several problems. First of all, I have the feeling that the machine is
only usable by one user alone, since performance of screen output on
the graphic screen slows down, when other users log in.  

Furthermore, I would be interested, whether you all like this dxdb?
I have lot's of problems with it, e.g. I can set a break point, hit
go, and nothing happens. After some more go's, it will reach the break
point. If I want to go there by steps, the machine will produce a 
stack low fault.

And if you call FORTRAN from C, it could be, that the fourth integer
parameter, which should be passed with something like a register,
is recognized by FORTRAN as being on address 0, which produces a
segmentation fault, which is obvious. If you change the program a little
bit, to find a workaround, f77 will produce the segmentation fault.
Nice, isn't it?

Am I the only one with this problems?

CU Carsten.
