I am posting this for a friend who cannot send or receive news....So
please mail any replies to     ...!philabs!phri!uccba!ucece1!finegan

To all concerned:
 
		I would like to know if anyone has solutions to a few of
my problems. On a Vax 11-750 running Ultrix 1.2, I am unable to get 8 bit
output from a program (which will be output to a graphics terminal) and can't
figure it out, no matter what stty settings I try. The terminal in question
is connected to the Ultrix machine via decnet - decserver 100. On the same 
machine, we are having problems getting nroff (output to an LA100f with Greek 
character ROM) to produce the square root sign. It outputs `\' where the root
sign should be, but outputs the root-en correctly (bar over argument). Is there
some science to this? I have gotten the other characters to work fine, but
this one won't, although the same sequence of octal codes works fine for
a c program. Even if I try to print one character (versus two) for the root
sign - no luck.
		I guess there is one more question, but I don't expect
an answer. Unix system V is nice, but the version on the 3B2 has no
`man' (not to mention csh). I have the man files for 4.2BSD, and would
like to have man on the 3B2. Is there a standard system V manual,
in software, that matches the command set on the 3B2 (v.2.1)? I have
access to HP-UX, but am not sure how much is system V info. Also, is
there a reference to the difference between system variable names for 
BSD on the Vax, and for Sys. V on the AT&T? 
 
			Thanks for any help,
