I think you can shut it up with the "-w" flag. /bin/hc1.4 seems to be the only compiler that will work in most cases. All the others crapped out when I tried to compile emacs 18.52. >4) Rup, rusers, and rwall do not work correctly. rup and rusers is >fine between the 2 RTs, but the output from rstatd on the rt is garbage >when read by rup on a VAX 11/750's running BSD 4.3 Unix from Mt Xinu. >Rup on the RT does net even see the Vax on the net.

All of these worked right out of the box for me. Are you sure you ifconfig'd the interface correctly? We have 4 RT's sharing a subnet with Sun3's, Sun4's and Sun386i's running 4.0 and an SGI IRIS 4D. They all recognize the rwho/ruptime info correctly between each other. >5) The X windows version 11 R2 that came with the distribution does not >support our IBM6154 color monitors.

I have it running only on the megapel display (We have 8514's and apa8c's, but it doesn't work on them). -e -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Pearce ARPANET eap@bu-it.bu.edu Boston University Information Technology CSNET eap%bu-it@bu-cs 111 Cummington Street JNET jnet%"ep@buenga" Boston MA 02215 UUCP !harvard!bu-cs!bu-it!eap 617-353-2780 voice 617-353-6260 fax BITNET ep@buenga
