I don't recall that I changed anything. >What is it that doesn't work? Right. It works if you install HDB on Top of ATE. Problem comes only if you have to do a system restore. You have to put the HDB on last.. after you put the phone manager, and ATE. The reason is due to some UA specific stuff from the phone manager like: /usr/lib/ua/Phones.form, /usr/lib/ua/Phonesinit.for, /usr/bin/Phones.sh, /usr/bin/Phonesinit.sh, and from ATE: /usr/bin/CMB232.sh, /usr/bin/RS232.sh, /usr/lib/ua/CMB232.menu, /usr/lib/ua/RS232a.form, /usr/lib/ua/RS232b.form /usr/lib/ua/RS232d.form, and /usr/lib/ua/RS232e.form. The versions of these which come with Phone manager, and ATE must be replaced by the HDB versions. That's all. Actually, if you can set things up without using ua, no problem. All I did was to remake the ATE and Phone Manager installation discs using the HDB ua files above instead of the ones that came on them. That way, it doesn't matter if you put the ATE disc or Phone manager on top of HDB or not. If you have to remove a package, you can just put it back in instead of having to put it back in and then put HDB back in on top. Pretty simple really. (while I was at it, I also put the pertinent Fix disk stuff on the discs as well.) I used them alot until I got the tape drive. :-) -- Ray Schafer |Internet: 5004 Emerald Forest Circle |micro@micrtk.cactus.org Austin, Texas 78745 |UUCP:..!cs.utexas.edu!bigtex!micrtk!micro +1 (512) 441-1010 |"All we are saying is give peace a chance"
