The files ending in .z have been reduced in size using the SCO XENIX pack(C) utility. These files must first be unpacked using unpack(C). Files ending in .ltr are the cover letters and installation instructions for the corresponding Supplements. The cover letters assume you have received the Supplements on diskette. To install a Supplement, you must first transfer it to a diskette using this procecure: 1. Request UUCP to transfer to your system the SLS file and cover letter file for the desired supplement. 2. Expand one or both of the files as necessary using unpack(C). 3. Format a diskette that is large enough to contain the supplement file. 4. Use the dd(C) command to transfer the supplement file to the diskette. For example, if the supplement file is "xnx102" and is in the /usr/spool/uucppublic directory on your system, and the diskette is a 5.25-inch, 360K, the command would be: dd if=/usr/spool/uucppublic/xnx102 of=/dev/rfd048ds9 Substitute the appropriate device name for "/dev/rfd048ds9" if transferring to a diskette of another capacity. However, always used the character device. The diskette must be formatted using the format(C) command before the data can be transferred. 5. Follow the installation instructions given in the cover letter file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Support Level Supplements available by UUCP request File name Size(bytes) Description xnx087.z 7500 386 Shadow Sperry 4 Port xnx087.ltr 774 xnx089.z 129423 SunRiver Driver for 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 xnx089.ltr.z 11017 xnx096.z 173028 286 Shadow Sperry 4 Port xnx096.ltr 782 xnx098.z 11441 Irwin 20-megabyte format(C) xnx098.ltr 620 xnx102.z 44994 Multiple Mountain Tape Drives xnx102.ltr 9592 xnx104.z 420319 Excelan TCP/IP Supplement for XENIX 2.3 xnx104.ltr 1246 xnx105.z 43077 RTS/CTS Handshaking Supplement for 2.3 xnx105.ltr 872 xnx107.z 2490 /etc/rc for 286 2.2.3 xnx107.ltr 619 xnx108.z 123531 SunRiver Driver for SCO XENIX 2.3.1 386 xnx108.ltr.z 18637 xnx114.z 138839 DiSCOver technical articles xnx114.ltr 763 xnx115.z 5845 Fixes Slow parallel printing problems for xnx115.ltr 1064 SCO XENIX 386 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 xnx116.z 14435 Allows SCO XENIX 2.3 to read mapkey files xnx116.ltr 1033 from SCO XENIX 2.2 xnx118.z 60749 QIC-40 tap driver for SCO XENIX 386 xnx118.ltr 4688 releases 2.2.3 and 2.3.1. xnx120.z 36527 Corrects "ps seek error" for SCO XENIX xnx120.ltr 1164 386 release 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 xnx122.z 52511 Driver for Archive VP409 Microchannel xnx122.ltr 6065 tape drive controller xnx124.z 32708 Corrects fsck abort problems for SCO XENIX xnx124.ltr 1422 386 releases 2.3.0 through 2.3.3 xnx126.z 22648 Allows kernels larger than 640K to boot xnx126.ltr 1191 For SCO XENIX 386 2.3.1. xnx128.z 262004 Corrects "garbage or loose cable" error using xnx128.ltr 1812 certain internal modems. xnx130.z 84017 Driver for SCO XENIX 386 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 that xnx130.ltr 3151 supports all of the following drive models: 125, 145, 185, 225, 245, 285, 2020, 2040, and 2080. xnx133.z 59248 Corrects problems with using the WD1007A xnx133.ltr 1927 disk controller.
