Toronto ON Canada Lines: 31 ws7m@ws7m.UUCP (Mark R. Holbrook) asks lots of good questions about A/UX and chuq@Apple.COM (Spot the Wonder Dog) gives some good answers. So here's another one for Chuqie or any other A/UX gurus out there. We're using MPW with projector, which has a really cool interface [although I wish "checkout" had the same project interface as "checkin"..] However, we find it is insufficient because we cannot use our file server as a compile server as well. With straight Unix we could use RCS on a Unix file system and spawn compiles in the background. However, we really like the user interface to projector, which leads me to these questions: o Can MacOS systems use AppleShare to mount A/UX volumes [with the A/UX side running some sort of appleshare daemon] and then treat said volumes as if they were MacOS volumes? o If so, and a projector database is kept on a Unix file system, is there a "Projector" for Unix? Can I check out files from the A/UX side of things so I could then compile etc? [which implies I need C++ 2.01 on A/UX as well...] Thanks Chuq! :) "And I had fun fun fun till my daddy took my timeslice away." -- Tron -- Reid Ellis 264 Broadway Avenue, Toronto ON, M4P 1V9 Canada rae@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu || rae%alias@csri.toronto.edu || +1 416 487 1383
