Bruce Perens --------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bob Larson Subject: error in os9/68000 manual: echo Keywords: 68k, shell There is one significant error in the os9/68000 users manual that I have found: The numbers used with the \ escape are DECIMAL not hex. The examples are also wrong. \49 will give you a 1, use \65 to get A. This was a little confusing when trying to send escape sequences to my printer to change modes. Bob Larson innp4!sdcrdcf!oberon!blarson --------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bruce Perens Subject: request for tutorial postings I need some material for OS-9 beginners: 1. A glossary of OS-9 terms. 2. A `what is OS-9' article, or series of articles. 3. An OS-9 tutorial. If you are interested in writing anything like this, or if you have one written and in machine-readable form, Please send mail to nyit!os9. Pointers to good machine-readable OS-9 material on other networks would be appreciated, as well. I am looking into material on Compuserve right now.
