There may be a limit but it's much greater than 3. In the
july 90 patch  tape release notes there's a patch (160) that
fixes a bug in prflib when you have more than 132 print
servers registered with the glb. Three should be no problem.

Don't know.

I think you should contact apollo if you haven't already
done so, then if you're not satisfied with their responce
submit an APR.

You might be interested in something that appeared in a
Mentor newsletter I recently received.

" In September, in response to strong customer demand,
Mentor Graphics will ship a software update to our 7.0
release. The key benefit of this release is that it will be
running on Apollo's 10.3 Operating System."

For what it's worth we have had problems with /bin/ksh and
crp. There's a patch on the july tape to fix this for sr10.1
(patch 164). The problem is that the shell will hang when
you do a crp to another node.
