Below is the latest edition of the BSDI ported software list. I know that
I have not adopted alot of people's suggested changes yet, but things have
been really busy and I wanted to get the new information in and send this
out now. Maybe next issue I'll be able to have a better format ( digest
maybe... )
Steve
Welcome to the BSDI ported software list! Its purpose is to give
information about net software that has been ported to or that is known to
compile without modificaton on the BSDI BSD/386 system. I am also attempting
to list the current patches and enhancements that are available. This
list will be posted on a bi-weekly basis unless the demand is greater. I
hope to be able to find a place to set up an archive site for this list and
some of the software packages or patches mentioned here. I have also
been saving the postings to the beta list since it was started and
have been thinking about making them available too. Stay tuned for
more information about this.
I do not have more information about setting up an archive but two
people have contacted me about archives that they have set up. I have
not been able to start placing things on them yet but will be doing so
when I have coordinated it with the people maintaning them. Archives
are now listed in a section of their own.
The list is split into four sections. Section 1 describes the software
packages from the net that have been ported to the BSDI system. These are
packages that had to be worked with to make them functional under BSDI. The
changes necessary are variable from "easy" on up. The second section is
for software that compiles on BSDI without code modifications. It appears
that several X applications fall into this area at the moment. Section 3
will be for enhancements and patches written specifically for the BSDI
system such as new drivers or BSDI system patches. Section 4 lists
the current archive sites for public BSDI patches, ports and enhancements.
Please contact me if you have any corrections, suggestions, or
contributions to the list.

Section 1: Ported Software
========================================================================
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Bnews
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION:
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Pretty straight forward. System is missing ftime, so a
compatibility function had to be written.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: elm
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION: Full screen mailing interface.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: BSD toupper/tolower are broken. Elm supplies versions which
can be used. Or you can fix the one's in libc like I did.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: pcomm
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION: Communications package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Some ioctl's had to be changed. Nothing big, if I recall.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: xviewgl
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION:
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Found a bug in libc.a in fgetpos. Once this was fixed
everything worked fine.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: SB Prolog
VERSION: 3.1
DESCRIPTION: Freeware Prolog interpreter with docs.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Anonymous ftp via cs.arizona.edu for this version.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
REQUIRES: I had to change a few things. I can send mail to anyone
interested.
NOTES: None
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System)
VERSION: 5.0
DESCRIPTION: A rule-based, forward-chaining expert system shell
patterned after OPS 5, ART. CLIPS also includes the CLIPS
Object-Oriented Language (COOL). CLIPS was developed by NASA/Johnson
and is widely used.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Oddly, it may be available via anonymous ftp (see note
below). Otherwise, it is free to NASA, USAF, and their contractors.
Others can purchase CLIPS in source form from COSMIC, NASA's
commercial software developer.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
REQUIRES: No brains, anyway. Changing a line or two in the makefile.
NOTES: Recently, Brian Donnell at NASA posted the following news item:
"If you are an employee of or contractor to NASA or USAF, you may obtain
CLIPS ...<stuff deleted>... You may redistribute to NASA and USAF
employees and <contractors>.
Everyone else must purchase CLIPS from COSMIC. However, once you have
purchased CLIPS, you may do anything you want with it, including redistribute
it by posting it for anonymous FTP. Thus, a copy of CLIPS which can trace
its ultimate origins to a copy purchased from COSMIC may be freely distributed.
However, we at NASA are not allowed to do this."
Therefore, it seems that anyone who has purchased CLIPS can
effectively place it in the public domain.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: bash
VERSION: 1.12
DESCRIPTION: FSF's `Bourne Again SHell', including everything but
the kitchen sink.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: grog%le...@Germany.EU.Net

transfers, I'll put it there. Diffs also available for
the asking.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: I've been using it for 6 weeks, and have found no
bugs.
REQUIRES: (nothing special)
NOTES: (none)
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: iozone
VERSION: 1.08
DESCRIPTION: Displays neatly table of disk performance
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: No. I'm not sure whether binaries or sources
are more popular ? Or both ?
STATE OF PORT/CODE: ready
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: Added an #define bsd4_2 to include sys/time.h
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Screen
VERSION: 3.2
DESCRIPTION: Provides multiple sessions on one connection, works
over almost any line. Replacement for missing virtual
terminals.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de, bsdi stuff was already defined
AVAILABILITY: ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/soft/kommunikation/news/tmp/screen*
STATE OF PORT/CODE: works ok, has problems with characters missing etc.
but is useable.
REQUIRES:
NOTES: It did not compile out of the box, some problems with signals.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: elvis
VERSION: 1.5
DESCRIPTION: good replacement for vi
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: no, same as above
STATE OF PORT/CODE: I use it since two weeks, better then the older
elvis, had to modify prsvunix.c (extern getpwuid
is ansified and needs to be correct)
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: wonderful, the visual mark facility !
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: less
VERSION: 170 (hmm, isnt it supposed to be 177 ?)
DESCRIPTION: replacement for more
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: no.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: it works, better then the supplied more 8)
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: it requires to include <regexp.h> and define REGCOMP in search.c
to work properly, but the linstall does not recognize this.
I don't think the REGCOMP support was ever tested.
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> and thom...@ingres.com
(Tom Markson) both also report less compiled and working.
Janet's notes follow below. ]
REQUIRES: regex.c as provided by James da Silva <jds%cs.UMD.EDU>, if
you want to use regexps. I compiled regex.c into a local library
file in /usr/local/lib, which I included with -L in less's Makefile.
NO CHANGES TO THE CODE OF less ITSELF.
NOTES: when run on console using the standard terminal type (pc3, I think)
less complains that the terminal can't scroll backwards. This complaint
could probably be turned off by compiling with a lower level of help
messages.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ISODE
VERSION: 7.0
DESCRIPTION: The ISO Developers Environment which provides upper
layer support for OSI applications and includes an X.500
implementation. ISODE can use the ISO and CCITT socket
families if the appropreate hardware and drivers are
installed in your system (this is untested).
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
Future versions of ISODE will be encumbered.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal. I would have to pull
the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
them. The compiled installation (libraries, include files,
the 'quipu' X.500 server, SNMP agent, etc) can be made
available easily.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex is needed to compile the package.
Flex chokes.
NOTES:
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: PP
VERSION: 6.0
DESCRIPTION: A Message Transfer Agent capable of handling X.400,
SMTP, and other protocols.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: PP-6.0 is P/D
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Like ISODE, there were minimal changes.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex may be needed to compile
this package. ISODE-6.0 is also required.
NOTES:
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME:
MetaFont et al.
TeX, LaTeX et al.
bash 1.12
dvips 5.47 (I think)
emacs 18.58 (with X11 support)
flex (dont know which version, latest from prep)
ghostscript 2.4 + ghostview
gtar 1.10
kermit 5A(179) BETA (newer than the one in contrib)

NOTES: If you need more information about any of these packages drop
me a mail.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: minicom
VERSION: 1.2pl1
DESCRIPTION: Communications package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: s...@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Working well, one real bug.
REQUIRES:
NOTES: There is a status indicator on the bottom of the screen. If
the program thinks that the modem is on-line, scrolling does not work
properly. I'm looking for the problem. The work-around right now is
to use the hang up command as soon as you enter the program and it
works fine after that. I had to comment out a SIG_IGN call for
SIGTINT and initialize some variables before they were used in
wkeys.c.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: nethack
VERSION: 3.0 pl 10
DESCRIPTION: Character based adventure game.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: s...@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Had to put an int definition for sprintf in the nethack
system.h file under BSD. Had to add the following define to
unixtty.c:
#ifdef bsdi
#define GTTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCGETP, (char *)x))
#define STTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCSETP, (char *)x))
#endif
The rest of the config was basically generic BSD.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME:
ImakeTeX (TeX 3.14 & LaTeX) and MetaFont from labrea
xfig (R5)
ghostscript 2.4 (X & epson)
ghostview 1.1
xdvi
dvi2ps 2.31
transfig ( from R5)
zsh 2.2
tcsh 6.01
gnutar 1.09
bison 1.14
flex 2.3
mg 2a
gnu-fgrep 1.0
VERSION: See above.
DESCRIPTION: Various ported software.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging)
AVAILABILITY: I've got no Internet access (only UUCP) so it would be
great to see an archive server (preferable in Europe) where I can mail
my binary set.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I've got BSD/386 running since one week. This ported software
are the tools I'm using normally. Though - I've compiled it and
they work - but I don't know if they are really stable. I
haven't seen a bug since the porting.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
Tips for people who want to port:
Normally the software to port ask for an operating system:
First hint is BSD4.3 or BSD4.4. One of the differences is:
386/BSD is POSIX compliant. Though look for the switch -D_POSIX_SOURCE
One of the most amusing facts is that prototypes for library functions
are in 386/BSD headers. Sometimes you must delete the prototypes from
the source of the programs (a good way to look for software quality).
X-software is very easy to port. Normally xmkmf -a produces a good
Makefile.
Problems:
The only hard problem I've is: web2c from labrea doesn't work, because
either lex or yacc are producing fals C-source. So I've made the first
step (generating C-source) on an ULTRIX 4.2 machine. Then I compiled
the suite under BSD/386. I will test this with flex and bison again.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ups
DESCRIPTION: X11 based source level C debugger.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: m...@ukc.ac.uk (Mark Russell)
AVAILABILITY: Soon - it is being tested by a few people now. I will
make it available by anonymous FTP in the next week or so.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Alpha test - it has not yet been used other than by me.
REQUIRES: Access to X server (either on the PC itself or elsewhere).
NOTES:
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: tcsh
VERSION: 6.02
DESCRIPTION: a popular csh-derived shell with line editing and other
bells&whistles.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: pick it up from tesla.ee.cornell.edu:/pub/tcsh/tcsh-6.02.tar.Z
STATE OF PORT/CODE: complete.
REQUIRES: disk space :-)
NOTES: [ p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging) also reports a working port
of tcsh, but his version is 6.01 ]
If you have X11 installed, you can just run this to configure it before
building:
imake -DUseInstalled -DConfigH="bsd4.4" -I/usr/X11/lib/X11/config
Otherwise, edit as directed in README and select bsd4.4 as the system
type.
tcsh-6.02 compiles fine out-of-the-box, but to have a useful
$HOSTTYPE you need to add the attached patch.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: sc
VERSION: 6.8
DESCRIPTION: Spreadsheet calculator--your basic spreadsheet.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John T Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: Pick it up from any comp.sources.unix archive, Volume 23
(e.g. ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume23/sc6.8/*)
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Runs fine. Just compile & install!
NOTES: You'll need to configure the Makefile; should be straightforward
(look at the stuff marked 'reno' for most of it)
[ Bernhard.Schn...@physik.tu-muenchen.de also has this package
working, version is not known. ]
SC (spreadsheet) has a bunch of patches that you probably want to
pick up with the sources. The details:
Sc appears in comp.sources.misc as:
v20i035-v20i041 sc/part01-7 original (Sc6.16)
v22i095 sc/patch01a Patch01a/2
v22i096 sc/patch01b Patch01b/2 (6.16->6.17)

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: XLISP-PLUS
VERSION: 2.1d
DESCRIPTION: Common Lisp-like (getting closer!) interpreter.
Originally developed by David Michael Betz for the PC, this version was
significantly revised by Tom Almy and others.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Original 2.1d sources are ftpable from
glia.biostr.washington.edu 128.95.10.115
bikini.cis.ufl.edu 128.227.224.1
STATE OF PORT/CODE: I've not tested completely, nor eliminated all
compiler warnings, but things I have tried work fine and the
documentation is good.
REQUIRES: Minor changes
NOTES: I will respond to email if anyone has problems.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Gnu sed
VERSION: 1.08
DESCRIPTION:
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Larry Jones <scjo...@thor.sdrc.com>
AVAILABILITY: [ This is one of the things that I'm looking to send to
one of the archive sites if they don't already have it. ]
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
A number of people have complained about sed being defective. I finally
got some time to look into it and fix it. In a nutshell, the way sed
was handling subprograms ('{' and '}') was completely wrong. I've sent
the fixes to GNU, but I thought people here would appreciate having the
fixed version, so I'm sending this shar.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: epoch
VERSION: ??
DESCRIPTION: Enhanced X only version of emacs.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: RWALD...@cs.tcd.ie
AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi [ And most other gnu archives. ]
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
a poor executable, which does not do:
a) save / dump to disk, so loadup.el has to run every time..
b) fork processes (e.g. TeX on region) -> it dumps core
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Problems that I have not had time to track down yet.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: gcc
VERSION: 2.1
DESCRIPTION: GNU C and C++ compilers
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: an...@lajax.pp.fi (Antti-Pekka Virtanen)
AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu
STATE OF PORT/CODE: there are both ready to run binaries and sources.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
The bsd386 binary package contains also libg++-2.0 library binaries.
I am sorry but I lost my libg++-2.0 sources due to an archive error, but
at least the library seems to work okay. The compressed libg++.a file
is the original one directly from the sources. The current library I use
has a few bug-fixes which were needed to get InterViews 3.0.1 run.
(I will provide my InterViews 3.0.1 binaries/sources if there is interest.)
I hope these will make you happy! But ofcource I cannot promise anything
to work and I don't provide any support. If you have fixes , please send
them also to me.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: InterViews
VERSION: 3.0.1
DESCRIPTION: X based document package, WYSIWYG editor and drawing
package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: an...@lajax.pp.fi (Antti-Pekka Virtanen)
AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
[128.214.6.100] in directory ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/X11/InterViews.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I hope this is enough to make InterViews compile on your machine.
I have only used doc document-editor so I cannot say if the other
clients work. At least doc seems to work allright.
REQUIRES:
To compile this you will need Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 or later
which will have some fixes in the iostream library. You can
use the Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 binaries available in nic.funet.fi
under ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu.
NOTES:
There has been some questions of what this InterViews is...
You will find attached some information which I cut out from
one document (you can find the full papers in interviews.stanford.edu)
I myself use only the sample client "doc" which is a simple
WYSIWYG document editing tool. It stores it's files as LaTeX-like
format and outputs postscript for printing. You can also include
pictures and draw them with the sample application idraw.
It is very nice for writing little documents!
Also, there is ibuild, an interactive interface builder ( which
I haven't even tried ) which let's you design your user interfaces.

I made a small modification to the kernel source file
i386/isa/pccons.c to allow
SCO-style terminal escapes to change colors on a character-mode screen, for
those of us who haven't gotten X to work yet. The escape sequences are:
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n
where n is one of the following:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
For the background settings, colors 8-15 are the same as 0-7, and the 0x8 bit
turns on blinking (at least on my hardware). This can be changed by
reprogramming the meaning of the bit in the hardware, but I haven't done that
yet. Kent Peacock <kentp@svmp03>

I have a new version of the console terminal emulator code (kernel pccons.c)
with a number of changes from various beta sites, as well as some fixes
that I have made and a lot of cleanup. It is based on fixes from
John Haugen for the PS/2 machines and the code from Dirk Husemann
to do (most of) the German keyboard stuff using the ALT key(s).
It does not (yet?) have Greg Lehey's code for German multiple-key
sequences. The current tables use ALT as a meta key except where
it is used for alternate characters.
Because the files are moderately large, I have put them out for
anonymous FTP from liberty.BSDI.COM for the moment; they are in
/hidden/pccons.shar. I will mail them on request to folks
without FTP access, and will mail them now those who have already
requested them.
I think it fixes these problems:
o left and right shift, control and alt keys are recognized separately,
and it correctly deals with pressing both keys and then releasing one.
o it recognizes extended-keyboard keys separately from the main keyboard
(or keypad) equivalents (this was needed for right control and alt).
As a result, arrow keys and editing keypad keys no longer produce digits.
o The arrow keys are now supported.
o The num lock key is recognized and used, and the keypad produces numbers
only when num lock is on. Num lock is set at initialization.
o the normal, standout and kernel foreground/background colors are settable
by SCO-compatible escape sequences (from Kent Peacock), and the cursor
can be changed to a block cursor.
o a problem resulting in reentrance of sput is fixed, and output reordering
problems that resulted seem to be fixed. A side effect may be that
more of the output processing, including scrolling, will be done
at base priority rather than spltty. (This may help reduce silo
overflows on machines where the console is in use but X is not.)
o a lot of the code has been cleaned up, and even uses manifest constants
for many of the magic numbers (not yet all)
o no longer crashes when cursor addressing, etc. are out of range
o the cursor is kept in sync during most kernel output (during autoconfig,
for kernel input, etc.)
At least the following are not yet fixed:
o recognition of the stupid pause key code sequence (it still toggles num lock)
o function keys, arrow keys, still do nothing useful, although the keys
are recognized and they can now be defined to produce a string.
Similarly for numeric keypad keys when num-lock is not set.
I don't know what these keys should send.
o the standalone kbd.c has not been converted yet; I compile it using
the old pcconstab.* files for now.
Notes on the new escape sequences:
Color codes:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
For foreground, the following "intense" color variants are available.
(In background, these set the corresponding value above plus the blinking
attribute.)
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n (default white)
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n (default black)
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n (default black)
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n (default white)
ESC[=nK - set kernel foreground color to n (default hi white, had been yellow)
ESC[=nL - set kernel background color to n (default blue)
ESC[1_ - set block cursor
ESC[0_ - set underscore cursor

Section 4. BSDI Archive Sites
========================================================================
[ There are currently two sites that are willing to archive stuff for
the BSDI system. They are numbered and described below. Please
contact the person listed in the description with problems, not me. I
won't be able to help you. ]
1. nic.funet.fi
Please, if possible, ftp all binaries/sources/patches of BSD/386 to
nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100). There is plenty of disk space available
and I'm willing to try to keep things in order there.
The directory in nic is ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/incoming . I just got added
to beta list, after being reading the idle alpha list for a while, so
please tell me about the other archive sites containing bsd/386 material!
We have had this directory in nic since we got the alpha release, but the
only material I have had there is some xview3 patches.
Send me a note at <an...@nic.funet.fi> , if you upload something to nic,
describing the bits you sent.
Happy hacking, Antti-Pekka
2. ftp.unm.edu
In addition, on the machine ftp.unm.edu is available via anon ftp.
It has a directory called pub/BSDI-386 (to hopefully cut some of the
confusion with 386BSD) and at the moment contains very little.
Any patches relating to BSD/386 that I receive (via email or
other means) will be place there. At the moment, I only have
~60 megs of space to deal with so I can't deal with too many
full sources, but we are working on a 2 gig ftp server and
when that becomes a reality, I don't think space will be
a problem.
Any patches posted to the beta list from this point on will
appear there, if you have posted a patch to the list in the
past, please mail it to me directly.

Welcome to the BSDI ported software list! Its purpose is to give
information about net software that has been ported to or that is known to
compile without modificaton on the BSDI BSD/386 system. I am also attempting
to list the current patches and enhancements that are available. This
list will be posted on a bi-weekly basis unless the demand is greater.
This list and some of the software packages or patches mentioned here
are archived on bsdi.com. I have also been saving the postings to the
beta list since it was started and have made them available too. See
the archive section for specifics on the bsdi.com archive.
The list is split into four sections. Section 1 describes the software
packages from the net that have been ported to the BSDI system. These are
packages that had to be worked with to make them functional under BSDI. The
changes necessary are variable from "easy" on up. The second section is
for software that compiles on BSDI without code modifications. It appears
that several X applications fall into this area at the moment. Section 3
will be for enhancements and patches written specifically for the BSDI
system such as new drivers or BSDI system patches. Section 4 lists
the current archive sites for public BSDI patches, ports and enhancements.
Please contact me if you have any corrections, suggestions, or
contributions to the list.

Section 1: Ported Software
========================================================================
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Bnews
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION:
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Pretty straight forward. System is missing ftime, so a
compatibility function had to be written.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: elm
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION: Full screen mailing interface.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: BSD toupper/tolower are broken. Elm supplies versions which
can be used. Or you can fix the one's in libc like I did.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: pcomm
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION: Communications package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Some ioctl's had to be changed. Nothing big, if I recall.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: xviewgl
VERSION:
DESCRIPTION:
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: thom...@ingres.com
AVAILABILITY:
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Found a bug in libc.a in fgetpos. Once this was fixed
everything worked fine.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: SB Prolog
VERSION: 3.1
DESCRIPTION: Freeware Prolog interpreter with docs.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Anonymous ftp via cs.arizona.edu for this version.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
REQUIRES: I had to change a few things. I can send mail to anyone
interested.
NOTES: None
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System)
VERSION: 5.0
DESCRIPTION: A rule-based, forward-chaining expert system shell
patterned after OPS 5, ART. CLIPS also includes the CLIPS
Object-Oriented Language (COOL). CLIPS was developed by NASA/Johnson
and is widely used.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Oddly, it may be available via anonymous ftp (see note
below). Otherwise, it is free to NASA, USAF, and their contractors.
Others can purchase CLIPS in source form from COSMIC, NASA's
commercial software developer.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
REQUIRES: No brains, anyway. Changing a line or two in the makefile.
NOTES: Recently, Brian Donnell at NASA posted the following news item:
"If you are an employee of or contractor to NASA or USAF, you may obtain
CLIPS ...<stuff deleted>... You may redistribute to NASA and USAF
employees and <contractors>.
Everyone else must purchase CLIPS from COSMIC. However, once you have
purchased CLIPS, you may do anything you want with it, including redistribute
it by posting it for anonymous FTP. Thus, a copy of CLIPS which can trace
its ultimate origins to a copy purchased from COSMIC may be freely distributed.
However, we at NASA are not allowed to do this."
Therefore, it seems that anyone who has purchased CLIPS can
effectively place it in the public domain.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: bash
VERSION: 1.12
DESCRIPTION: FSF's `Bourne Again SHell', including everything but
the kitchen sink.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: grog%le...@Germany.EU.Net
AVAILABILITY: When I have the people at unido accept incoming uucp
transfers, I'll put it there. Diffs also available for
the asking.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: I've been using it for 6 weeks, and have found no
bugs.
REQUIRES: (nothing special)

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: iozone
VERSION: 1.08
DESCRIPTION: Displays neatly table of disk performance
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: No. I'm not sure whether binaries or sources
are more popular ? Or both ?
STATE OF PORT/CODE: ready
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: Added an #define bsd4_2 to include sys/time.h
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: Screen
VERSION: 3.2
DESCRIPTION: Provides multiple sessions on one connection, works
over almost any line. Replacement for missing virtual
terminals.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de, bsdi stuff was already defined
AVAILABILITY: ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/soft/kommunikation/news/tmp/screen*
STATE OF PORT/CODE: works ok, has problems with characters missing etc.
but is useable.
REQUIRES:
NOTES: It did not compile out of the box, some problems with signals.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: elvis
VERSION: 1.5
DESCRIPTION: good replacement for vi
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: no, same as above
STATE OF PORT/CODE: I use it since two weeks, better then the older
elvis, had to modify prsvunix.c (extern getpwuid
is ansified and needs to be correct)
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: wonderful, the visual mark facility !
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: less
VERSION: 170 (hmm, isnt it supposed to be 177 ?)
DESCRIPTION: replacement for more
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: no.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: it works, better then the supplied more 8)
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: it requires to include <regexp.h> and define REGCOMP in search.c
to work properly, but the linstall does not recognize this.
I don't think the REGCOMP support was ever tested.
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> and thom...@ingres.com
(Tom Markson) both also report less compiled and working.
Janet's notes follow below. ]
REQUIRES: regex.c as provided by James da Silva <jds%cs.UMD.EDU>, if
you want to use regexps. I compiled regex.c into a local library
file in /usr/local/lib, which I included with -L in less's Makefile.
NO CHANGES TO THE CODE OF less ITSELF.
NOTES: when run on console using the standard terminal type (pc3, I think)
less complains that the terminal can't scroll backwards. This complaint
could probably be turned off by compiling with a lower level of help
messages.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ISODE
VERSION: 7.0, and 8.0
DESCRIPTION: The ISO Developers Environment which provides upper
layer support for OSI applications and includes an X.500
implementation. ISODE can use the ISO and CCITT socket
families if the appropreate hardware and drivers are
installed in your system (this is untested).
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
8.0 is available from misc.glarp.com [128.138.240.101]
STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal. I would have to pull
the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
them. The compiled installation (libraries, include files,
the 'quipu' X.500 server, SNMP agent, etc) can be made
available easily.
8.0 fails some of the tests for psap echo and psap isode/echo
but dish and quipu appear to work at first glance.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex is needed to compile the package.
Flex chokes.
NOTES [8.0]: When compiling, be sure to "unlimit" all resource limits
related to virtual memory size. It takes alot of space to
compile some of the pieces.
Among these patches, are patches to the lex code which
allow it to be compiled with "flex" (gnu version of lex)
which is now the standard lex shiped with BSD.
Since gcc pays meticulous attention to function prototypes
it was nessesary to blast some of the redundant and errant
external function delcaration statments.
setenv() takes 3 arguments under BSD not 2. A #define
solved the problem. Similarly, dirent(3) was disabled
since it comes built in to BSD386.
The file system queary calls in snmp/unixFs.c were adapted
to the new 4.4BSD getfsstat() and fsstat() interfaces.
A few incompatible tweeks were made. "mkdirhier" takes the place
of "mkdir" in the top leval Makefile for making make-dirs.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: PP
VERSION: 6.0
DESCRIPTION: A Message Transfer Agent capable of handling X.400,
SMTP, and other protocols.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: PP-6.0 is P/D
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Like ISODE, there were minimal changes.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex may be needed to compile
this package. ISODE-6.0 is also required.
NOTES:
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME:
MetaFont et al.
TeX, LaTeX et al.
bash 1.12
dvips 5.47 (I think)
emacs 18.58 (with X11 support)
flex (dont know which version, latest from prep)
ghostscript 2.4 + ghostview
gtar 1.10
kermit 5A(179) BETA (newer than the one in contrib)

NOTES: If you need more information about any of these packages drop
me a mail.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: minicom
VERSION: 1.2pl1
DESCRIPTION: Communications package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: s...@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Working well, one real bug.
REQUIRES:
NOTES: There is a status indicator on the bottom of the screen. If
the program thinks that the modem is on-line, scrolling does not work
properly. I'm looking for the problem. The work-around right now is
to use the hang up command as soon as you enter the program and it
works fine after that. I had to comment out a SIG_IGN call for
SIGTINT and initialize some variables before they were used in
wkeys.c.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: nethack
VERSION: 3.0 pl 10
DESCRIPTION: Character based adventure game.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: s...@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Had to put an int definition for sprintf in the nethack
system.h file under BSD. Had to add the following define to
unixtty.c:
#ifdef bsdi
#define GTTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCGETP, (char *)x))
#define STTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCSETP, (char *)x))
#endif
The rest of the config was basically generic BSD.

tcsh 6.01
gnutar 1.09
bison 1.14
flex 2.3
mg 2a
gnu-fgrep 1.0
VERSION: See above.
DESCRIPTION: Various ported software.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging)
AVAILABILITY: I've got no Internet access (only UUCP) so it would be
great to see an archive server (preferable in Europe) where I can mail
my binary set.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I've got BSD/386 running since one week. This ported software
are the tools I'm using normally. Though - I've compiled it and
they work - but I don't know if they are really stable. I
haven't seen a bug since the porting.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
Tips for people who want to port:
Normally the software to port ask for an operating system:
First hint is BSD4.3 or BSD4.4. One of the differences is:
386/BSD is POSIX compliant. Though look for the switch -D_POSIX_SOURCE
One of the most amusing facts is that prototypes for library functions
are in 386/BSD headers. Sometimes you must delete the prototypes from
the source of the programs (a good way to look for software quality).
X-software is very easy to port. Normally xmkmf -a produces a good
Makefile.
Problems:
The only hard problem I've is: web2c from labrea doesn't work, because
either lex or yacc are producing fals C-source. So I've made the first
step (generating C-source) on an ULTRIX 4.2 machine. Then I compiled
the suite under BSD/386. I will test this with flex and bison again.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ups
DESCRIPTION: X11 based source level C debugger.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: m...@ukc.ac.uk (Mark Russell)
AVAILABILITY: Soon - it is being tested by a few people now. I will
make it available by anonymous FTP in the next week or so.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Alpha test - it has not yet been used other than by me.
REQUIRES: Access to X server (either on the PC itself or elsewhere).
NOTES:
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: tcsh
VERSION: 6.02
DESCRIPTION: a popular csh-derived shell with line editing and other
bells&whistles.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: pick it up from tesla.ee.cornell.edu:/pub/tcsh/tcsh-6.02.tar.Z
STATE OF PORT/CODE: complete.
REQUIRES: disk space :-)
NOTES: [ p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging) also reports a working port
of tcsh, but his version is 6.01 ]
If you have X11 installed, you can just run this to configure it before
building:
imake -DUseInstalled -DConfigH="bsd4.4" -I/usr/X11/lib/X11/config
Otherwise, edit as directed in README and select bsd4.4 as the system
type.
tcsh-6.02 compiles fine out-of-the-box, but to have a useful
$HOSTTYPE you need to add the attached patch.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: sc
VERSION: 6.21
DESCRIPTION: Spreadsheet calculator--your basic spreadsheet.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John T Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: Pick it up from any comp.sources.unix archive, Volume 23
(e.g. ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume23/sc6.8/*)
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Runs fine. Just compile & install!
NOTES: You'll need to configure the Makefile; should be straightforward
(look at the stuff marked 'reno' for most of it)
[ Bernhard.Schn...@physik.tu-muenchen.de also has this package
working, version is not known. ]
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> has this package working at
version 6.21, her notes are below. ]
SC (spreadsheet) has a bunch of patches that you probably want to
pick up with the sources. The details:
Sc appears in comp.sources.misc as:
v20i035-v20i041 sc/part01-7 original (Sc6.16)
v22i095 sc/patch01a Patch01a/2
v22i096 sc/patch01b Patch01b/2 (6.16->6.17)
v22i104 sc/patch02 Patch02 (6.17->6.18)
v23i035 sc/patch03 Patch03 (6.18->6.19)
v24i020 sc/patch04a Patch04a/2
v24i021 sc/patch04b Patch04b/2 (6.19->6.21)
STATE OF PORT/CODE [Janet]:
My machine has no math coprocessor. To cope with a floating-point
emulation bug, I have made minor changes. Everywhere (I hope!) that
0.0 is used as a double, I have replaced it with (double)0,
because 0.0 gets treated as NaN. This meant, for example,
that a cell entered as "0.25" would become NaN!
The only other bug I've noticed is that the row numbers are sometimes
messed up when you scroll the screen.
NOTES [Janet]:
I had to configure the Makefile.
I can supply my Makefile and patches for the C files if people want them.
I have also written a thing called sc-extract (and sent it to the
comp.sources.unix moderator, who has not yet processed it) for doing links
between spreadsheets using sc's external function mechanism.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: XLISP-PLUS
VERSION: 2.1d
DESCRIPTION: Common Lisp-like (getting closer!) interpreter.

STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
A number of people have complained about sed being defective. I finally
got some time to look into it and fix it. In a nutshell, the way sed
was handling subprograms ('{' and '}') was completely wrong. I've sent
the fixes to GNU, but I thought people here would appreciate having the
fixed version, so I'm sending this shar.

REQUIRES:
NOTES:
The bsd386 binary package contains also libg++-2.0 library binaries.
I am sorry but I lost my libg++-2.0 sources due to an archive error, but
at least the library seems to work okay. The compressed libg++.a file
is the original one directly from the sources. The current library I use
has a few bug-fixes which were needed to get InterViews 3.0.1 run.
(I will provide my InterViews 3.0.1 binaries/sources if there is interest.)
I hope these will make you happy! But ofcource I cannot promise anything
to work and I don't provide any support. If you have fixes , please send
them also to me.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: InterViews
VERSION: 3.0.1
DESCRIPTION: X based document package, WYSIWYG editor and drawing
package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: an...@lajax.pp.fi (Antti-Pekka Virtanen)
AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
[128.214.6.100] in directory ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/X11/InterViews.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I hope this is enough to make InterViews compile on your machine.
I have only used doc document-editor so I cannot say if the other
clients work. At least doc seems to work allright.
REQUIRES:
To compile this you will need Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 or later
which will have some fixes in the iostream library. You can
use the Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 binaries available in nic.funet.fi
under ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu.
NOTES:
There has been some questions of what this InterViews is...
You will find attached some information which I cut out from
one document (you can find the full papers in interviews.stanford.edu)
I myself use only the sample client "doc" which is a simple
WYSIWYG document editing tool. It stores it's files as LaTeX-like
format and outputs postscript for printing. You can also include
pictures and draw them with the sample application idraw.
It is very nice for writing little documents!
Also, there is ibuild, an interactive interface builder ( which
I haven't even tried ) which let's you design your user interfaces.

I have a patch for the tty compatibility code that makes it more
careful about setting the ISTRIP flag when doing TIOCGETP followed by
TIOCSETP. With this change installed in the kernel
(/usr/src/sys/kern/tty_compat.c), I was able to run vi in 8-bit mode
and edit a file with non-ASCII characters on the console. (I'm using
a derivative of Dirk Husemann's keyboard modifications to use ALT as a
meta key.) Mike Karels ( sent by Jeff Polk <p...@bsdi.com> )

I made a small modification to the kernel source file
i386/isa/pccons.c to allow
SCO-style terminal escapes to change colors on a character-mode screen, for
those of us who haven't gotten X to work yet. The escape sequences are:
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n
where n is one of the following:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
For the background settings, colors 8-15 are the same as 0-7, and the 0x8 bit
turns on blinking (at least on my hardware). This can be changed by
reprogramming the meaning of the bit in the hardware, but I haven't done that
yet. Kent Peacock <kentp@svmp03>

Fix for select(2) inadvertently turning a very short timeout value into

Some people have not had great success using uucp as supplied with

I have an older Wangtek QIC150 tape drive that does not fully support
SCSI-1. The drive seems to be support some of the features of SCSI-1
so, to better support it I have made some modifications to the scsi tape
device driver. These changes may be usefull to others who have drive
that do not fully support SCSI-1. visenix!beat...@uunet.uu.net
(Brian Beattie)
-----
I have a new version of the console terminal emulator code (kernel pccons.c)
with a number of changes from various beta sites, as well as some fixes
that I have made and a lot of cleanup. It is based on fixes from
John Haugen for the PS/2 machines and the code from Dirk Husemann
to do (most of) the German keyboard stuff using the ALT key(s).
It does not (yet?) have Greg Lehey's code for German multiple-key
sequences. The current tables use ALT as a meta key except where
it is used for alternate characters.
Because the files are moderately large, I have put them out for
anonymous FTP from liberty.BSDI.COM for the moment; they are in
/hidden/pccons.shar. I will mail them on request to folks
without FTP access, and will mail them now those who have already
requested them.
I think it fixes these problems:
o left and right shift, control and alt keys are recognized separately,
and it correctly deals with pressing both keys and then releasing one.
o it recognizes extended-keyboard keys separately from the main keyboard
(or keypad) equivalents (this was needed for right control and alt).
As a result, arrow keys and editing keypad keys no longer produce digits.
o The arrow keys are now supported.
o The num lock key is recognized and used, and the keypad produces numbers
only when num lock is on. Num lock is set at initialization.
o the normal, standout and kernel foreground/background colors are settable
by SCO-compatible escape sequences (from Kent Peacock), and the cursor
can be changed to a block cursor.
o a problem resulting in reentrance of sput is fixed, and output reordering
problems that resulted seem to be fixed. A side effect may be that
more of the output processing, including scrolling, will be done
at base priority rather than spltty. (This may help reduce silo
overflows on machines where the console is in use but X is not.)
o a lot of the code has been cleaned up, and even uses manifest constants
for many of the magic numbers (not yet all)
o no longer crashes when cursor addressing, etc. are out of range
o the cursor is kept in sync during most kernel output (during autoconfig,
for kernel input, etc.)
At least the following are not yet fixed:
o recognition of the stupid pause key code sequence (it still toggles num lock)
o function keys, arrow keys, still do nothing useful, although the keys
are recognized and they can now be defined to produce a string.
Similarly for numeric keypad keys when num-lock is not set.
I don't know what these keys should send.
o the standalone kbd.c has not been converted yet; I compile it using
the old pcconstab.* files for now.
Notes on the new escape sequences:
Color codes:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
For foreground, the following "intense" color variants are available.
(In background, these set the corresponding value above plus the blinking
attribute.)
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n (default white)
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n (default black)
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n (default black)
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n (default white)
ESC[=nK - set kernel foreground color to n (default hi white, had been yellow)
ESC[=nL - set kernel background color to n (default blue)
ESC[1_ - set block cursor
ESC[0_ - set underscore cursor

it dies, allow more creative line speeds, leave the line speed

Section 4. BSDI Archive Sites
========================================================================
[ These are the sites that are currently willing to archive stuff for
the BSDI system. They are numbered and described below. Please
contact the person listed in the description with problems, not me. I
won't be able to help you. ]
1. nic.funet.fi
Please, if possible, ftp all binaries/sources/patches of BSD/386 to
nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100). There is plenty of disk space available
and I'm willing to try to keep things in order there.
The directory in nic is ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/incoming . I just got added
to beta list, after being reading the idle alpha list for a while, so
please tell me about the other archive sites containing bsd/386 material!
We have had this directory in nic since we got the alpha release, but the
only material I have had there is some xview3 patches.
Send me a note at <an...@nic.funet.fi> , if you upload something to nic,
describing the bits you sent.
Happy hacking, Antti-Pekka
2. ftp.unm.edu
In addition, on the machine ftp.unm.edu is available via anon ftp.
It has a directory called pub/BSDI-386 (to hopefully cut some of the
confusion with 386BSD) and at the moment contains very little.
Any patches relating to BSD/386 that I receive (via email or
other means) will be place there. At the moment, I only have
~60 megs of space to deal with so I can't deal with too many
full sources, but we are working on a 2 gig ftp server and
when that becomes a reality, I don't think space will be
a problem.
Any patches posted to the beta list from this point on will
appear there, if you have posted a patch to the list in the
past, please mail it to me directly.
Steve Freed <sfr...@ariel.unm.edu>
3. bsdi.com
An archive is now available for programs, patches, information, and ports
for BSD/386 systems. The archive is at bsdi.com [192.48.96.23] in the
directories under "/bsdi.sw/sw". Please report problems with the site
to mcco...@bsdi.com or s...@acd4.acd.com. Sorry it took me so long to
get things going but I think that you will like it.
The archive includes all of the patches that have been posted to the beta
mailing list and a list of all postings to the bata list, stored by month.
Also available are whole ported programs or patches to some well known
packages to make them run under BSD/386. If you have software or patches
that you would like to contribute to the archive, please drop me a message.

Welcome to the BSDI ported software list! Its purpose is to give
information about net software that has been ported to or that is known to
compile without modificaton on the BSDI BSD/386 system. I am also attempting
to list the current patches and enhancements that are available. This
list will be posted on a bi-weekly basis unless the demand is greater.
This list and some of the software packages or patches mentioned here
are archived on bsdi.com. I have also been saving the postings to the
beta list since it was started and have made them available too. See
the archive section for specifics on the bsdi.com archive. The gamma
mailing list is also being archived and will be placed on bsdi.com.
The list is split into four sections. Section 1 describes the software
packages from the net that have been ported to the BSDI system. These are
packages that had to be worked with to make them functional under BSDI. The
changes necessary are variable from "easy" on up. The second section is
for software that compiles on BSDI without code modifications. It appears
that several X applications fall into this area at the moment. Section 3
will be for enhancements and patches written specifically for the BSDI
system such as new drivers or BSDI system patches. Section 4 lists
the current archive sites for public BSDI patches, ports and enhancements.
This version of the list uses "Subject:" headings for each of the
sections to make it easier to go directly to each section with most
common newsreaders.
Please contact me if you have any corrections, suggestions, or
contributions to the list.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System)
VERSION: 5.0
DESCRIPTION: A rule-based, forward-chaining expert system shell
patterned after OPS 5, ART. CLIPS also includes the CLIPS
Object-Oriented Language (COOL). CLIPS was developed by NASA/Johnson
and is widely used.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Oddly, it may be available via anonymous ftp (see note
below). Otherwise, it is free to NASA, USAF, and their contractors.
Others can purchase CLIPS in source form from COSMIC, NASA's
commercial software developer.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
REQUIRES: No brains, anyway. Changing a line or two in the makefile.
NOTES: Recently, Brian Donnell at NASA posted the following news item:
"If you are an employee of or contractor to NASA or USAF, you may obtain
CLIPS ...<stuff deleted>... You may redistribute to NASA and USAF
employees and <contractors>.
Everyone else must purchase CLIPS from COSMIC. However, once you have
purchased CLIPS, you may do anything you want with it, including redistribute
it by posting it for anonymous FTP. Thus, a copy of CLIPS which can trace
its ultimate origins to a copy purchased from COSMIC may be freely distributed.
However, we at NASA are not allowed to do this."
Therefore, it seems that anyone who has purchased CLIPS can
effectively place it in the public domain.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: less
VERSION: 170 (hmm, isnt it supposed to be 177 ?)
DESCRIPTION: replacement for more
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: no.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: it works, better then the supplied more 8)
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: it requires to include <regexp.h> and define REGCOMP in search.c
to work properly, but the linstall does not recognize this.
I don't think the REGCOMP support was ever tested.
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> and t...@usblues.rt.com
(Tom Markson) both also report less compiled and working.
Janet's notes follow below. ]
REQUIRES: regex.c as provided by James da Silva <jds%cs.UMD.EDU>, if
you want to use regexps. I compiled regex.c into a local library
file in /usr/local/lib, which I included with -L in less's Makefile.
NO CHANGES TO THE CODE OF less ITSELF.
NOTES: when run on console using the standard terminal type (pc3, I think)
less complains that the terminal can't scroll backwards. This complaint
could probably be turned off by compiling with a lower level of help
messages.

families if the appropreate hardware and drivers are
installed in your system (this is untested).
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
8.0 is available from misc.glarp.com [128.138.240.101]
STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal. I would have to pull
the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
them. The compiled installation (libraries, include files,
the 'quipu' X.500 server, SNMP agent, etc) can be made
available easily.
8.0 fails some of the tests for psap echo and psap isode/echo
but dish and quipu appear to work at first glance.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex is needed to compile the package.
Flex chokes.
NOTES [8.0]: When compiling, be sure to "unlimit" all resource limits
related to virtual memory size. It takes alot of space to
compile some of the pieces.
Among these patches, are patches to the lex code which
allow it to be compiled with "flex" (gnu version of lex)
which is now the standard lex shiped with BSD.
Since gcc pays meticulous attention to function prototypes
it was nessesary to blast some of the redundant and errant
external function delcaration statments.
setenv() takes 3 arguments under BSD not 2. A #define
solved the problem. Similarly, dirent(3) was disabled
since it comes built in to BSD386.
The file system queary calls in snmp/unixFs.c were adapted
to the new 4.4BSD getfsstat() and fsstat() interfaces.
A few incompatible tweeks were made. "mkdirhier" takes the place
of "mkdir" in the top leval Makefile for making make-dirs.

NOTES: There is a status indicator on the bottom of the screen. If
the program thinks that the modem is on-line, scrolling does not work
properly. I'm looking for the problem. The work-around right now is
to use the hang up command as soon as you enter the program and it

DESCRIPTION: Various ported software.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging)
AVAILABILITY: I've got no Internet access (only UUCP) so it would be
great to see an archive server (preferable in Europe) where I can mail
my binary set.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I've got BSD/386 running since one week. This ported software
are the tools I'm using normally. Though - I've compiled it and
they work - but I don't know if they are really stable. I
haven't seen a bug since the porting.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
Tips for people who want to port:
Normally the software to port ask for an operating system:
First hint is BSD4.3 or BSD4.4. One of the differences is:
386/BSD is POSIX compliant. Though look for the switch -D_POSIX_SOURCE
One of the most amusing facts is that prototypes for library functions
are in 386/BSD headers. Sometimes you must delete the prototypes from
the source of the programs (a good way to look for software quality).
X-software is very easy to port. Normally xmkmf -a produces a good
Makefile.
Problems:
The only hard problem I've is: web2c from labrea doesn't work, because
either lex or yacc are producing fals C-source. So I've made the first
step (generating C-source) on an ULTRIX 4.2 machine. Then I compiled
the suite under BSD/386. I will test this with flex and bison again.

AVAILABILITY: pick it up from tesla.ee.cornell.edu:/pub/tcsh/tcsh-6.02.tar.Z
STATE OF PORT/CODE: complete.
REQUIRES: disk space :-)
NOTES: [ p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging) also reports a working port
of tcsh, but his version is 6.01 ]
If you have X11 installed, you can just run this to configure it before
building:
imake -DUseInstalled -DConfigH="bsd4.4" -I/usr/X11/lib/X11/config
Otherwise, edit as directed in README and select bsd4.4 as the system
type.
tcsh-6.02 compiles fine out-of-the-box, but to have a useful
$HOSTTYPE you need to add the attached patch.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: sc
VERSION: 6.21
DESCRIPTION: Spreadsheet calculator--your basic spreadsheet.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John T Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: Pick it up from any comp.sources.unix archive, Volume 23
(e.g. ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume23/sc6.8/*)
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Runs fine. Just compile & install!
NOTES: You'll need to configure the Makefile; should be straightforward
(look at the stuff marked 'reno' for most of it)
[ Bernhard.Schn...@physik.tu-muenchen.de also has this package
working, version is not known. ]
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> has this package working at
version 6.21, her notes are below. ]
SC (spreadsheet) has a bunch of patches that you probably want to
pick up with the sources. The details:
Sc appears in comp.sources.misc as:
v20i035-v20i041 sc/part01-7 original (Sc6.16)
v22i095 sc/patch01a Patch01a/2
v22i096 sc/patch01b Patch01b/2 (6.16->6.17)
v22i104 sc/patch02 Patch02 (6.17->6.18)
v23i035 sc/patch03 Patch03 (6.18->6.19)
v24i020 sc/patch04a Patch04a/2
v24i021 sc/patch04b Patch04b/2 (6.19->6.21)
STATE OF PORT/CODE [Janet]:
My machine has no math coprocessor. To cope with a floating-point
emulation bug, I have made minor changes. Everywhere (I hope!) that
0.0 is used as a double, I have replaced it with (double)0,
because 0.0 gets treated as NaN. This meant, for example,
that a cell entered as "0.25" would become NaN!
The only other bug I've noticed is that the row numbers are sometimes
messed up when you scroll the screen.
NOTES [Janet]:
I had to configure the Makefile.
I can supply my Makefile and patches for the C files if people want them.
I have also written a thing called sc-extract (and sent it to the
comp.sources.unix moderator, who has not yet processed it) for doing links
between spreadsheets using sc's external function mechanism.

REQUIRES:
NOTES:
The bsd386 binary package contains also libg++-2.0 library binaries.
I am sorry but I lost my libg++-2.0 sources due to an archive error, but
at least the library seems to work okay. The compressed libg++.a file
is the original one directly from the sources. The current library I use
has a few bug-fixes which were needed to get InterViews 3.0.1 run.
(I will provide my InterViews 3.0.1 binaries/sources if there is interest.)
I hope these will make you happy! But ofcource I cannot promise anything
to work and I don't provide any support. If you have fixes , please send
them also to me.

AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
[128.214.6.100] in directory ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/X11/InterViews.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I hope this is enough to make InterViews compile on your machine.
I have only used doc document-editor so I cannot say if the other
clients work. At least doc seems to work allright.
REQUIRES:
To compile this you will need Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 or later
which will have some fixes in the iostream library. You can
use the Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 binaries available in nic.funet.fi
under ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu.
NOTES:
There has been some questions of what this InterViews is...
You will find attached some information which I cut out from
one document (you can find the full papers in interviews.stanford.edu)
I myself use only the sample client "doc" which is a simple
WYSIWYG document editing tool. It stores it's files as LaTeX-like
format and outputs postscript for printing. You can also include
pictures and draw them with the sample application idraw.
It is very nice for writing little documents!
Also, there is ibuild, an interactive interface builder ( which
I haven't even tried ) which let's you design your user interfaces.

4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
For the background settings, colors 8-15 are the same as 0-7, and the 0x8 bit
turns on blinking (at least on my hardware). This can be changed by
reprogramming the meaning of the bit in the hardware, but I haven't done that
yet. Kent Peacock <kentp@svmp03>

I have a new version of the console terminal emulator code (kernel pccons.c)
with a number of changes from various beta sites, as well as some fixes
that I have made and a lot of cleanup. It is based on fixes from
John Haugen for the PS/2 machines and the code from Dirk Husemann
to do (most of) the German keyboard stuff using the ALT key(s).
It does not (yet?) have Greg Lehey's code for German multiple-key
sequences. The current tables use ALT as a meta key except where
it is used for alternate characters.
Because the files are moderately large, I have put them out for
anonymous FTP from liberty.BSDI.COM for the moment; they are in
/hidden/pccons.shar. I will mail them on request to folks
without FTP access, and will mail them now those who have already
requested them.
I think it fixes these problems:
o left and right shift, control and alt keys are recognized separately,
and it correctly deals with pressing both keys and then releasing one.
o it recognizes extended-keyboard keys separately from the main keyboard
(or keypad) equivalents (this was needed for right control and alt).
As a result, arrow keys and editing keypad keys no longer produce digits.
o The arrow keys are now supported.
o The num lock key is recognized and used, and the keypad produces numbers
only when num lock is on. Num lock is set at initialization.
o the normal, standout and kernel foreground/background colors are settable
by SCO-compatible escape sequences (from Kent Peacock), and the cursor
can be changed to a block cursor.
o a problem resulting in reentrance of sput is fixed, and output reordering
problems that resulted seem to be fixed. A side effect may be that
more of the output processing, including scrolling, will be done
at base priority rather than spltty. (This may help reduce silo
overflows on machines where the console is in use but X is not.)
o a lot of the code has been cleaned up, and even uses manifest constants
for many of the magic numbers (not yet all)
o no longer crashes when cursor addressing, etc. are out of range
o the cursor is kept in sync during most kernel output (during autoconfig,
for kernel input, etc.)
At least the following are not yet fixed:
o recognition of the stupid pause key code sequence (it still toggles num lock)
o function keys, arrow keys, still do nothing useful, although the keys
are recognized and they can now be defined to produce a string.
Similarly for numeric keypad keys when num-lock is not set.
I don't know what these keys should send.
o the standalone kbd.c has not been converted yet; I compile it using
the old pcconstab.* files for now.
Notes on the new escape sequences:
Color codes:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
For foreground, the following "intense" color variants are available.
(In background, these set the corresponding value above plus the blinking
attribute.)
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n (default white)
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n (default black)
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n (default black)
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n (default white)
ESC[=nK - set kernel foreground color to n (default hi white, had been yellow)
ESC[=nL - set kernel background color to n (default blue)
ESC[1_ - set block cursor
ESC[0_ - set underscore cursor

I believe the below patch fixes at least 2 bugs from the bug list (#455 and

Hopefully it won't create any new ones. :-)
This patch fixes the problems:
- 'kill -HUP 1' did not respawn a job if you've changed its command line.
- init restarted too fast (I stuck in 2 second pause before job spawning)
- init respawned a job too fast after it was respawning too fast. I split
one define into two.
Let me know if I've done something bad here but our system has been up for
hours (and numerous kill -HUP 1 calls) with no problems.
Also, the logout.patch from the patch directory that I applied, generate tons
of "can't register logout..." messages (1 for each time a job restarted) so I
removed the else and the warning. Anyone else have this problem?

(GAMMA) Recently I purchased a Longshine LCS-8880 el-cheapo 4-port serial card
from Altex Electronics for about $75 plus shipping. The card has a single DB37
on the back panel with a cable that fans out to four male DB25 connectors, has
socketted 16450-style UARTs (easy to swap out for 16550's if needed), and in
general looks like pretty solid hardware.
It supports two address ranges, 0x1a0-0x1bf, or 0x2a0-0x2bf in the 'enhanced'
mode where all four ports share one interrupt line, which can be 2/9,3,4,5,6,7.

Subject: Section 4. BSDI Archive Sites
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1992 09:00 EST
========================================================================
[ These are the sites that are currently willing to archive stuff for
the BSDI system. They are numbered and described below. Please
contact the person listed in the description with problems, not me. I
won't be able to help you. ]
1. nic.funet.fi
Please, if possible, ftp all binaries/sources/patches of BSD/386 to
nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100). There is plenty of disk space available
and I'm willing to try to keep things in order there.
The directory in nic is ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/incoming . I just got added
to beta list, after being reading the idle alpha list for a while, so
please tell me about the other archive sites containing bsd/386 material!
We have had this directory in nic since we got the alpha release, but the
only material I have had there is some xview3 patches.
Send me a note at <an...@nic.funet.fi> , if you upload something to nic,
describing the bits you sent.
Happy hacking, Antti-Pekka
2. ftp.unm.edu
In addition, on the machine ftp.unm.edu is available via anon ftp.
It has a directory called pub/BSDI-386 (to hopefully cut some of the
confusion with 386BSD) and at the moment contains very little.
Any patches relating to BSD/386 that I receive (via email or
other means) will be place there. At the moment, I only have
~60 megs of space to deal with so I can't deal with too many
full sources, but we are working on a 2 gig ftp server and
when that becomes a reality, I don't think space will be
a problem.
Any patches posted to the beta list from this point on will
appear there, if you have posted a patch to the list in the
past, please mail it to me directly.
Steve Freed <sfr...@ariel.unm.edu>
3. bsdi.com
An archive is now available for programs, patches, information, and ports
for BSD/386 systems. The archive is at bsdi.com [192.48.96.23] in the
directories under "/bsdi.sw/sw". Please report problems with the site
to mcco...@bsdi.com or s...@acd4.acd.com. Sorry it took me so long to
get things going but I think that you will like it.
The archive includes all of the patches that have been posted to the beta
mailing list and a list of all postings to the bata list, stored by month.
Also available are whole ported programs or patches to some well known
packages to make them run under BSD/386. If you have software or patches
that you would like to contribute to the archive, please drop me a message.
I will also be setting up a "gamma" directory under /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma
for storing programs and patches for the gamma release of BSD/386.
The gamma mailing list will also be archived there on a monthly basis.

Welcome to the BSDI ported software list! Its purpose is to give
information about net software that has been ported to or that is known to
compile without modificaton on the BSDI BSD/386 system. I am also attempting
to list the current patches and enhancements that are available. This
list will be posted on a monthly basis unless the demand is greater.
This list and some of the software packages or patches mentioned here
are archived on bsdi.com. I have also been saving the postings to the
beta list since it was started and have made them available too. See
the archive section for specifics on the bsdi.com archive. The gamma
mailing list is also being archived and will be placed on bsdi.com.
The list is split into four sections. Section 1 describes the software
packages from the net that have been ported to the BSDI system. These are
packages that had to be worked with to make them functional under BSDI. The
changes necessary are variable from "easy" on up. The second section is
for software that compiles on BSDI without code modifications. It appears
that several X applications fall into this area at the moment. Section 3
will be for enhancements and patches written specifically for the BSDI
system such as new drivers or BSDI system patches. Section 4 lists
the current archive sites for public BSDI patches, ports and enhancements.
This version of the list uses "Subject:" headings for each of the
sections to make it easier to go directly to each section with most
common newsreaders.
Please contact me if you have any corrections, suggestions, or
contributions to the list.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System)
VERSION: 5.0
DESCRIPTION: A rule-based, forward-chaining expert system shell
patterned after OPS 5, ART. CLIPS also includes the CLIPS
Object-Oriented Language (COOL). CLIPS was developed by NASA/Johnson
and is widely used.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Oddly, it may be available via anonymous ftp (see note
below). Otherwise, it is free to NASA, USAF, and their contractors.
Others can purchase CLIPS in source form from COSMIC, NASA's
commercial software developer.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
REQUIRES: No brains, anyway. Changing a line or two in the makefile.
NOTES: Recently, Brian Donnell at NASA posted the following news item:
"If you are an employee of or contractor to NASA or USAF, you may obtain
CLIPS ...<stuff deleted>... You may redistribute to NASA and USAF
employees and <contractors>.
Everyone else must purchase CLIPS from COSMIC. However, once you have
purchased CLIPS, you may do anything you want with it, including redistribute
it by posting it for anonymous FTP. Thus, a copy of CLIPS which can trace
its ultimate origins to a copy purchased from COSMIC may be freely distributed.
However, we at NASA are not allowed to do this."
Therefore, it seems that anyone who has purchased CLIPS can
effectively place it in the public domain.

-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: less
VERSION: 170 (hmm, isnt it supposed to be 177 ?)
DESCRIPTION: replacement for more
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
AVAILABILITY: no.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: it works, better then the supplied more 8)
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: it requires to include <regexp.h> and define REGCOMP in search.c
to work properly, but the linstall does not recognize this.
I don't think the REGCOMP support was ever tested.
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> and t...@usblues.rt.com
(Tom Markson) both also report less compiled and working.
Janet's notes follow below. ]
REQUIRES: regex.c as provided by James da Silva <jds%cs.UMD.EDU>, if
you want to use regexps. I compiled regex.c into a local library
file in /usr/local/lib, which I included with -L in less's Makefile.
NO CHANGES TO THE CODE OF less ITSELF.
NOTES: when run on console using the standard terminal type (pc3, I think)
less complains that the terminal can't scroll backwards. This complaint
could probably be turned off by compiling with a lower level of help
messages.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ISODE
VERSION: 7.0, and 8.0
DESCRIPTION: The ISO Developers Environment which provides upper
layer support for OSI applications and includes an X.500
implementation. ISODE can use the ISO and CCITT socket
families if the appropreate hardware and drivers are
installed in your system (this is untested).
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
8.0 is available from misc.glarp.com [128.138.240.101]
STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal. I would have to pull
the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
them. The compiled installation (libraries, include files,
the 'quipu' X.500 server, SNMP agent, etc) can be made
available easily.
8.0 fails some of the tests for psap echo and psap isode/echo
but dish and quipu appear to work at first glance.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex is needed to compile the package.
Flex chokes.
NOTES [8.0]: When compiling, be sure to "unlimit" all resource limits
related to virtual memory size. It takes alot of space to
compile some of the pieces.
Among these patches, are patches to the lex code which
allow it to be compiled with "flex" (gnu version of lex)
which is now the standard lex shiped with BSD.
Since gcc pays meticulous attention to function prototypes
it was nessesary to blast some of the redundant and errant
external function delcaration statments.
setenv() takes 3 arguments under BSD not 2. A #define
solved the problem. Similarly, dirent(3) was disabled
since it comes built in to BSD386.
The file system queary calls in snmp/unixFs.c were adapted
to the new 4.4BSD getfsstat() and fsstat() interfaces.
A few incompatible tweeks were made. "mkdirhier" takes the place
of "mkdir" in the top leval Makefile for making make-dirs.
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: PP
VERSION: 6.0
DESCRIPTION: A Message Transfer Agent capable of handling X.400,
SMTP, and other protocols.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: PP-6.0 is P/D
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Like ISODE, there were minimal changes.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex may be needed to compile
this package. ISODE-6.0 is also required.
NOTES:
-----
SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME:

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: minicom
VERSION: 1.2pl1
DESCRIPTION: Communications package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: s...@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Working well, one real bug.
REQUIRES:
NOTES: There is a status indicator on the bottom of the screen. If
the program thinks that the modem is on-line, scrolling does not work
properly. I'm looking for the problem. The work-around right now is
to use the hang up command as soon as you enter the program and it
works fine after that. I had to comment out a SIG_IGN call for
SIGTINT and initialize some variables before they were used in
wkeys.c.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: nethack
VERSION: 3.0 pl 10
DESCRIPTION: Character based adventure game.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: s...@acd4.acd.com ( Steve McCoole )
AVAILABILITY: Can do some limited mailing of diffs.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Had to put an int definition for sprintf in the nethack
system.h file under BSD. Had to add the following define to
unixtty.c:
#ifdef bsdi
#define GTTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCGETP, (char *)x))
#define STTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCSETP, (char *)x))
#endif
The rest of the config was basically generic BSD.

VERSION: See above.
DESCRIPTION: Various ported software.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging)
AVAILABILITY: I've got no Internet access (only UUCP) so it would be
great to see an archive server (preferable in Europe) where I can mail
my binary set.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I've got BSD/386 running since one week. This ported software
are the tools I'm using normally. Though - I've compiled it and
they work - but I don't know if they are really stable. I
haven't seen a bug since the porting.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
Tips for people who want to port:
Normally the software to port ask for an operating system:
First hint is BSD4.3 or BSD4.4. One of the differences is:
386/BSD is POSIX compliant. Though look for the switch -D_POSIX_SOURCE
One of the most amusing facts is that prototypes for library functions
are in 386/BSD headers. Sometimes you must delete the prototypes from
the source of the programs (a good way to look for software quality).
X-software is very easy to port. Normally xmkmf -a produces a good
Makefile.
Problems:
The only hard problem I've is: web2c from labrea doesn't work, because
either lex or yacc are producing fals C-source. So I've made the first
step (generating C-source) on an ULTRIX 4.2 machine. Then I compiled
the suite under BSD/386. I will test this with flex and bison again.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ups
DESCRIPTION: X11 based source level C debugger.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: m...@ukc.ac.uk (Mark Russell)
AVAILABILITY: Soon - it is being tested by a few people now. I will

STATE OF PORT/CODE: Alpha test - it has not yet been used other than by me.
REQUIRES: Access to X server (either on the PC itself or elsewhere).

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: tcsh
VERSION: 6.02
DESCRIPTION: a popular csh-derived shell with line editing and other
bells&whistles.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: pick it up from tesla.ee.cornell.edu:/pub/tcsh/tcsh-6.02.tar.Z
STATE OF PORT/CODE: complete.
REQUIRES: disk space :-)
NOTES: [ p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging) also reports a working port
of tcsh, but his version is 6.01 ]
If you have X11 installed, you can just run this to configure it before
building:
imake -DUseInstalled -DConfigH="bsd4.4" -I/usr/X11/lib/X11/config
Otherwise, edit as directed in README and select bsd4.4 as the system
type.
tcsh-6.02 compiles fine out-of-the-box, but to have a useful
$HOSTTYPE you need to add the attached patch.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: sc
VERSION: 6.21
DESCRIPTION: Spreadsheet calculator--your basic spreadsheet.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John T Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: Pick it up from any comp.sources.unix archive, Volume 23
(e.g. ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume23/sc6.8/*)
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Runs fine. Just compile & install!
NOTES: You'll need to configure the Makefile; should be straightforward
(look at the stuff marked 'reno' for most of it)
[ Bernhard.Schn...@physik.tu-muenchen.de also has this package
working, version is not known. ]
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> has this package working at
version 6.21, her notes are below. ]
SC (spreadsheet) has a bunch of patches that you probably want to
pick up with the sources. The details:
Sc appears in comp.sources.misc as:
v20i035-v20i041 sc/part01-7 original (Sc6.16)
v22i095 sc/patch01a Patch01a/2
v22i096 sc/patch01b Patch01b/2 (6.16->6.17)
v22i104 sc/patch02 Patch02 (6.17->6.18)
v23i035 sc/patch03 Patch03 (6.18->6.19)
v24i020 sc/patch04a Patch04a/2
v24i021 sc/patch04b Patch04b/2 (6.19->6.21)
STATE OF PORT/CODE [Janet]:
My machine has no math coprocessor. To cope with a floating-point
emulation bug, I have made minor changes. Everywhere (I hope!) that
0.0 is used as a double, I have replaced it with (double)0,
because 0.0 gets treated as NaN. This meant, for example,
that a cell entered as "0.25" would become NaN!
The only other bug I've noticed is that the row numbers are sometimes
messed up when you scroll the screen.
NOTES [Janet]:
I had to configure the Makefile.
I can supply my Makefile and patches for the C files if people want them.
I have also written a thing called sc-extract (and sent it to the
comp.sources.unix moderator, who has not yet processed it) for doing links
between spreadsheets using sc's external function mechanism.

DESCRIPTION: Common Lisp-like (getting closer!) interpreter.
Originally developed by David Michael Betz for the PC, this version was
significantly revised by Tom Almy and others.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Original 2.1d sources are ftpable from
glia.biostr.washington.edu 128.95.10.115
bikini.cis.ufl.edu 128.227.224.1

NOTES:
A number of people have complained about sed being defective. I finally
got some time to look into it and fix it. In a nutshell, the way sed
was handling subprograms ('{' and '}') was completely wrong. I've sent
the fixes to GNU, but I thought people here would appreciate having the
fixed version, so I'm sending this shar.

a poor executable, which does not do:
a) save / dump to disk, so loadup.el has to run every time..
b) fork processes (e.g. TeX on region) -> it dumps core
REQUIRES:

DESCRIPTION: GNU C and C++ compilers
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: an...@lajax.pp.fi (Antti-Pekka Virtanen)
AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu
STATE OF PORT/CODE: there are both ready to run binaries and sources.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
The bsd386 binary package contains also libg++-2.0 library binaries.
I am sorry but I lost my libg++-2.0 sources due to an archive error, but
at least the library seems to work okay. The compressed libg++.a file
is the original one directly from the sources. The current library I use
has a few bug-fixes which were needed to get InterViews 3.0.1 run.
(I will provide my InterViews 3.0.1 binaries/sources if there is interest.)
I hope these will make you happy! But ofcource I cannot promise anything
to work and I don't provide any support. If you have fixes , please send
them also to me.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: InterViews
VERSION: 3.0.1
DESCRIPTION: X based document package, WYSIWYG editor and drawing
package.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: an...@lajax.pp.fi (Antti-Pekka Virtanen)
AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
[128.214.6.100] in directory ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/X11/InterViews.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I hope this is enough to make InterViews compile on your machine.
I have only used doc document-editor so I cannot say if the other
clients work. At least doc seems to work allright.
REQUIRES:
To compile this you will need Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 or later
which will have some fixes in the iostream library. You can
use the Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 binaries available in nic.funet.fi
under ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu.
NOTES:
There has been some questions of what this InterViews is...
You will find attached some information which I cut out from
one document (you can find the full papers in interviews.stanford.edu)
I myself use only the sample client "doc" which is a simple
WYSIWYG document editing tool. It stores it's files as LaTeX-like
format and outputs postscript for printing. You can also include
pictures and draw them with the sample application idraw.
It is very nice for writing little documents!
Also, there is ibuild, an interactive interface builder ( which
I haven't even tried ) which let's you design your user interfaces.

SCO-style terminal escapes to change colors on a character-mode screen, for
those of us who haven't gotten X to work yet. The escape sequences are:
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n
where n is one of the following:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
For the background settings, colors 8-15 are the same as 0-7, and the 0x8 bit
turns on blinking (at least on my hardware). This can be changed by
reprogramming the meaning of the bit in the hardware, but I haven't done that
yet. Kent Peacock <kentp@svmp03>

I have a new version of the console terminal emulator code (kernel pccons.c)
with a number of changes from various beta sites, as well as some fixes
that I have made and a lot of cleanup. It is based on fixes from
John Haugen for the PS/2 machines and the code from Dirk Husemann
to do (most of) the German keyboard stuff using the ALT key(s).
It does not (yet?) have Greg Lehey's code for German multiple-key
sequences. The current tables use ALT as a meta key except where
it is used for alternate characters.
Because the files are moderately large, I have put them out for
anonymous FTP from liberty.BSDI.COM for the moment; they are in
/hidden/pccons.shar. I will mail them on request to folks
without FTP access, and will mail them now those who have already
requested them.
I think it fixes these problems:
o left and right shift, control and alt keys are recognized separately,
and it correctly deals with pressing both keys and then releasing one.
o it recognizes extended-keyboard keys separately from the main keyboard
(or keypad) equivalents (this was needed for right control and alt).
As a result, arrow keys and editing keypad keys no longer produce digits.
o The arrow keys are now supported.
o The num lock key is recognized and used, and the keypad produces numbers
only when num lock is on. Num lock is set at initialization.
o the normal, standout and kernel foreground/background colors are settable
by SCO-compatible escape sequences (from Kent Peacock), and the cursor
can be changed to a block cursor.
o a problem resulting in reentrance of sput is fixed, and output reordering
problems that resulted seem to be fixed. A side effect may be that
more of the output processing, including scrolling, will be done
at base priority rather than spltty. (This may help reduce silo
overflows on machines where the console is in use but X is not.)
o a lot of the code has been cleaned up, and even uses manifest constants
for many of the magic numbers (not yet all)
o no longer crashes when cursor addressing, etc. are out of range
o the cursor is kept in sync during most kernel output (during autoconfig,
for kernel input, etc.)
At least the following are not yet fixed:
o recognition of the stupid pause key code sequence (it still toggles num lock)
o function keys, arrow keys, still do nothing useful, although the keys
are recognized and they can now be defined to produce a string.
Similarly for numeric keypad keys when num-lock is not set.
I don't know what these keys should send.
o the standalone kbd.c has not been converted yet; I compile it using
the old pcconstab.* files for now.
Notes on the new escape sequences:
Color codes:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
For foreground, the following "intense" color variants are available.
(In background, these set the corresponding value above plus the blinking
attribute.)
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n (default white)
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n (default black)
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n (default black)
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n (default white)
ESC[=nK - set kernel foreground color to n (default hi white, had been yellow)
ESC[=nL - set kernel background color to n (default blue)
ESC[1_ - set block cursor
ESC[0_ - set underscore cursor

I believe the below patch fixes at least 2 bugs from the bug list (#455 and
???) . The second one I turned in the other day but forgot the auto-response
number.
Hopefully it won't create any new ones. :-)
This patch fixes the problems:
- 'kill -HUP 1' did not respawn a job if you've changed its command line.
- init restarted too fast (I stuck in 2 second pause before job spawning)
- init respawned a job too fast after it was respawning too fast. I split
one define into two.
Let me know if I've done something bad here but our system has been up for
hours (and numerous kill -HUP 1 calls) with no problems.
Also, the logout.patch from the patch directory that I applied, generate tons
of "can't register logout..." messages (1 for each time a job restarted) so I
removed the else and the warning. Anyone else have this problem?

(GAMMA) Recently I purchased a Longshine LCS-8880 el-cheapo 4-port serial card
from Altex Electronics for about $75 plus shipping. The card has a single DB37
on the back panel with a cable that fans out to four male DB25 connectors, has
socketted 16450-style UARTs (easy to swap out for 16550's if needed), and in
general looks like pretty solid hardware.
It supports two address ranges, 0x1a0-0x1bf, or 0x2a0-0x2bf in the 'enhanced'
mode where all four ports share one interrupt line, which can be 2/9,3,4,5,6,7.

We aquired a used DEC hard drive which did not seem to spin up at all.
After digging around an Ultrix system, we discovered that the drive
needed a START_UNIT command to get it going. Here is a fix for the
scsi/sd.c driver which will issue a start unit upon boot (only to a
DEC drive at this moment. Issueing the start unit did not
cause problems for other drives, so I think the DEC compare can be
safely removed). If anyone else is having trouble getting unknown drives
to spin-up this will probably fix the problem.

I can't live without my 8 port serial card, so I quickly hacked
gamma 0.9 com.c to support it with my generic multiport modifications.
While testing the bidirectional line usage, I discovered a bug, at
least in my opinion, in the DCD detection (fix included).
This version isn't as robust as the latest stuff I had for beta 0.3.3,
but it works. Also, something is interfering with the bidirectional
line usage.
(Sorry about posting this to both gamma and beta lists, but I wasn't
sure if a gamma list exists)
You have to add something along the lines of the following to your config
file:
# COM ports
# APT HSS08 multi-port serial card
device com0 at isa? port 0x100
device com1 at isa? port 0x108
device com2 at isa? port 0x110
device com3 at isa? port 0x118
device com4 at isa? port 0x120
device com5 at isa? port 0x128
device com6 at isa? port 0x130
device com7 at isa? port 0x138
The HSS08 shares one IRQ for all the ports, so I get warnings about
conflicting IRQs from the autoconfigurator during boot, but it works.
I also added:
stty -f /dev/com0 clocal
stty -f /dev/com1 clocal
...
to my /etc/rc.local, so things would stop blocking unexpectedly.

Subject: Section 4. BSDI Archive Sites
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1992 09:00 EST
========================================================================
[ These are the sites that are currently willing to archive stuff for
the BSDI system. They are numbered and described below. Please
contact the person listed in the description with problems, not me. I
won't be able to help you. ]
1. nic.funet.fi
Please, if possible, ftp all binaries/sources/patches of BSD/386 to
nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100). There is plenty of disk space available
and I'm willing to try to keep things in order there.
The directory in nic is ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/incoming . I just got added
to beta list, after being reading the idle alpha list for a while, so
please tell me about the other archive sites containing bsd/386 material!
We have had this directory in nic since we got the alpha release, but the
only material I have had there is some xview3 patches.
Send me a note at <an...@nic.funet.fi> , if you upload something to nic,
describing the bits you sent.
Happy hacking, Antti-Pekka
2. ftp.unm.edu
In addition, on the machine ftp.unm.edu is available via anon ftp.
It has a directory called pub/BSDI-386 (to hopefully cut some of the
confusion with 386BSD) and at the moment contains very little.
Any patches relating to BSD/386 that I receive (via email or
other means) will be place there. At the moment, I only have
~60 megs of space to deal with so I can't deal with too many
full sources, but we are working on a 2 gig ftp server and
when that becomes a reality, I don't think space will be
a problem.
Any patches posted to the beta list from this point on will
appear there, if you have posted a patch to the list in the
past, please mail it to me directly.
Steve Freed <sfr...@ariel.unm.edu>
3. bsdi.com
An archive is now available for programs, patches, information, and ports
for BSD/386 systems. The archive is at bsdi.com [192.48.96.23] in the
directories under "/bsdi.sw/sw". Please report problems with the site
to mcco...@bsdi.com or s...@acd4.acd.com. Sorry it took me so long to
get things going but I think that you will like it.
The archive includes all of the patches that have been posted to the beta
mailing list and a list of all postings to the bata list, stored by month.
Also available are whole ported programs or patches to some well known
packages to make them run under BSD/386. If you have software or patches
that you would like to contribute to the archive, please drop me a message.
I will also be setting up a "gamma" directory under /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma
for storing programs and patches for the gamma release of BSD/386.
The gamma mailing list will also be archived there on a monthly basis.

Welcome to the BSDI ported software list! Its purpose is to give
information about net software that has been ported to or that is known to
compile without modificaton on the BSDI BSD/386 system. I am also attempting
to list the current patches and enhancements that are available. This
list will be posted on a monthly basis unless the demand is greater.
This list and some of the software packages or patches mentioned here
are archived on bsdi.com. I have also been saving the postings to the
beta list since it was started and have made them available too. See
the archive section for specifics on the bsdi.com archive. The gamma
mailing list is also being archived and will be placed on bsdi.com.
The list is split into four sections. Section 1 describes the software
packages from the net that have been ported to the BSDI system. These are
packages that had to be worked with to make them functional under BSDI. The
changes necessary are variable from "easy" on up. The second section is
for software that compiles on BSDI without code modifications. It appears
that several X applications fall into this area at the moment. Section 3
will be for enhancements and patches written specifically for the BSDI
system such as new drivers or BSDI system patches. Section 4 lists
the current archive sites for public BSDI patches, ports and enhancements.
This version of the list uses "Subject:" headings for each of the
sections to make it easier to go directly to each section with most
common newsreaders.
Please contact me if you have any corrections, suggestions, or
contributions to the list.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System)
VERSION: 5.0
DESCRIPTION: A rule-based, forward-chaining expert system shell
patterned after OPS 5, ART. CLIPS also includes the CLIPS
Object-Oriented Language (COOL). CLIPS was developed by NASA/Johnson
and is widely used.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: Doug Dyer/dd...@afit.af.mil
AVAILABILITY: Oddly, it may be available via anonymous ftp (see note
below). Otherwise, it is free to NASA, USAF, and their contractors.
Others can purchase CLIPS in source form from COSMIC, NASA's
commercial software developer.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Everything works as far as I can tell.
REQUIRES: No brains, anyway. Changing a line or two in the makefile.
NOTES: Recently, Brian Donnell at NASA posted the following news item:
"If you are an employee of or contractor to NASA or USAF, you may obtain
CLIPS ...<stuff deleted>... You may redistribute to NASA and USAF
employees and <contractors>.
Everyone else must purchase CLIPS from COSMIC. However, once you have
purchased CLIPS, you may do anything you want with it, including redistribute
it by posting it for anonymous FTP. Thus, a copy of CLIPS which can trace
its ultimate origins to a copy purchased from COSMIC may be freely distributed.
However, we at NASA are not allowed to do this."
Therefore, it seems that anyone who has purchased CLIPS can
effectively place it in the public domain.

AVAILABILITY: no.
STATE OF PORT/CODE: it works, better then the supplied more 8)
REQUIRES: -
NOTES: it requires to include <regexp.h> and define REGCOMP in search.c
to work properly, but the linstall does not recognize this.
I don't think the REGCOMP support was ever tested.
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> and t...@usblues.rt.com
(Tom Markson) both also report less compiled and working.
Janet's notes follow below. ]
REQUIRES: regex.c as provided by James da Silva <jds%cs.UMD.EDU>, if
you want to use regexps. I compiled regex.c into a local library
file in /usr/local/lib, which I included with -L in less's Makefile.
NO CHANGES TO THE CODE OF less ITSELF.
NOTES: when run on console using the standard terminal type (pc3, I think)
less complains that the terminal can't scroll backwards. This complaint
could probably be turned off by compiling with a lower level of help
messages.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: ISODE
VERSION: 7.0, and 8.0
DESCRIPTION: The ISO Developers Environment which provides upper
layer support for OSI applications and includes an X.500
implementation. ISODE can use the ISO and CCITT socket
families if the appropreate hardware and drivers are
installed in your system (this is untested).
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntt...@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
8.0 is available from misc.glarp.com [128.138.240.101]
[ The isode 8.0 patches are now also available from bsdi.com.
in the directory /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma/app.patches. SMM ]
STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal. I would have to pull
the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
them. The compiled installation (libraries, include files,
the 'quipu' X.500 server, SNMP agent, etc) can be made
available easily.
8.0 fails some of the tests for psap echo and psap isode/echo
but dish and quipu appear to work at first glance.
REQUIRES: The encumbered version of lex is needed to compile the package.
Flex chokes.
NOTES [8.0]: When compiling, be sure to "unlimit" all resource limits
related to virtual memory size. It takes alot of space to
compile some of the pieces.
Among these patches, are patches to the lex code which
allow it to be compiled with "flex" (gnu version of lex)
which is now the standard lex shiped with BSD.
Since gcc pays meticulous attention to function prototypes
it was nessesary to blast some of the redundant and errant
external function delcaration statments.
setenv() takes 3 arguments under BSD not 2. A #define
solved the problem. Similarly, dirent(3) was disabled
since it comes built in to BSD386.
The file system queary calls in snmp/unixFs.c were adapted
to the new 4.4BSD getfsstat() and fsstat() interfaces.
A few incompatible tweeks were made. "mkdirhier" takes the place
of "mkdir" in the top leval Makefile for making make-dirs.

STATE OF PORT/CODE: Working well, one real bug.
REQUIRES:
NOTES: There is a status indicator on the bottom of the screen. If
the program thinks that the modem is on-line, scrolling does not work
properly. I'm looking for the problem. The work-around right now is
to use the hang up command as soon as you enter the program and it
works fine after that. I had to comment out a SIG_IGN call for
SIGTINT and initialize some variables before they were used in
wkeys.c.

STATE OF PORT/CODE:
REQUIRES:
NOTES: Had to put an int definition for sprintf in the nethack
system.h file under BSD. Had to add the following define to
unixtty.c:
#ifdef bsdi
#define GTTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCGETP, (char *)x))
#define STTY(x) (ioctl(0, TIOCSETP, (char *)x))

DESCRIPTION: Various ported software.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging)
AVAILABILITY: I've got no Internet access (only UUCP) so it would be
great to see an archive server (preferable in Europe) where I can mail
my binary set.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I've got BSD/386 running since one week. This ported software
are the tools I'm using normally. Though - I've compiled it and
they work - but I don't know if they are really stable. I
haven't seen a bug since the porting.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
Tips for people who want to port:
Normally the software to port ask for an operating system:
First hint is BSD4.3 or BSD4.4. One of the differences is:
386/BSD is POSIX compliant. Though look for the switch -D_POSIX_SOURCE
One of the most amusing facts is that prototypes for library functions
are in 386/BSD headers. Sometimes you must delete the prototypes from
the source of the programs (a good way to look for software quality).
X-software is very easy to port. Normally xmkmf -a produces a good
Makefile.
Problems:
The only hard problem I've is: web2c from labrea doesn't work, because
either lex or yacc are producing fals C-source. So I've made the first
step (generating C-source) on an ULTRIX 4.2 machine. Then I compiled
the suite under BSD/386. I will test this with flex and bison again.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: tcsh
VERSION: 6.02
DESCRIPTION: a popular csh-derived shell with line editing and other

YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: pick it up from tesla.ee.cornell.edu:/pub/tcsh/tcsh-6.02.tar.Z
STATE OF PORT/CODE: complete.
REQUIRES: disk space :-)
NOTES: [ p...@xs0001.at (Peter Pflaeging) also reports a working port
of tcsh, but his version is 6.01 ]
If you have X11 installed, you can just run this to configure it before
building:
imake -DUseInstalled -DConfigH="bsd4.4" -I/usr/X11/lib/X11/config
Otherwise, edit as directed in README and select bsd4.4 as the system
type.
tcsh-6.02 compiles fine out-of-the-box, but to have a useful
$HOSTTYPE you need to add the attached patch.

SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: sc
VERSION: 6.21
DESCRIPTION: Spreadsheet calculator--your basic spreadsheet.
YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: John T Kohl <jtk...@kolvir.elcr.ca.us>
AVAILABILITY: Pick it up from any comp.sources.unix archive, Volume 23
(e.g. ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume23/sc6.8/*)
STATE OF PORT/CODE: Runs fine. Just compile & install!
NOTES: You'll need to configure the Makefile; should be straightforward
(look at the stuff marked 'reno' for most of it)
[ Bernhard.Schn...@physik.tu-muenchen.de also has this package
working, version is not known. ]
[ Janet Jackson <ja...@cs.uwa.edu.au> has this package working at
version 6.21, her notes are below. ]
SC (spreadsheet) has a bunch of patches that you probably want to
pick up with the sources. The details:
Sc appears in comp.sources.misc as:
v20i035-v20i041 sc/part01-7 original (Sc6.16)
v22i095 sc/patch01a Patch01a/2
v22i096 sc/patch01b Patch01b/2 (6.16->6.17)
v22i104 sc/patch02 Patch02 (6.17->6.18)
v23i035 sc/patch03 Patch03 (6.18->6.19)
v24i020 sc/patch04a Patch04a/2
v24i021 sc/patch04b Patch04b/2 (6.19->6.21)
STATE OF PORT/CODE [Janet]:
My machine has no math coprocessor. To cope with a floating-point
emulation bug, I have made minor changes. Everywhere (I hope!) that
0.0 is used as a double, I have replaced it with (double)0,
because 0.0 gets treated as NaN. This meant, for example,
that a cell entered as "0.25" would become NaN!
The only other bug I've noticed is that the row numbers are sometimes
messed up when you scroll the screen.
NOTES [Janet]:
I had to configure the Makefile.
I can supply my Makefile and patches for the C files if people want them.
I have also written a thing called sc-extract (and sent it to the
comp.sources.unix moderator, who has not yet processed it) for doing links
between spreadsheets using sc's external function mechanism.

STATE OF PORT/CODE: there are both ready to run binaries and sources.
REQUIRES:
NOTES:
The bsd386 binary package contains also libg++-2.0 library binaries.
I am sorry but I lost my libg++-2.0 sources due to an archive error, but
at least the library seems to work okay. The compressed libg++.a file
is the original one directly from the sources. The current library I use
has a few bug-fixes which were needed to get InterViews 3.0.1 run.
(I will provide my InterViews 3.0.1 binaries/sources if there is interest.)
I hope these will make you happy! But ofcource I cannot promise anything
to work and I don't provide any support. If you have fixes , please send
them also to me.

AVAILABILITY: nic.funet.fi
[128.214.6.100] in directory ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/X11/InterViews.
STATE OF PORT/CODE:
I hope this is enough to make InterViews compile on your machine.
I have only used doc document-editor so I cannot say if the other
clients work. At least doc seems to work allright.
REQUIRES:
To compile this you will need Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 or later
which will have some fixes in the iostream library. You can
use the Gcc 2.1 and libg++-2.0 binaries available in nic.funet.fi
under ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/gnu.
NOTES:
There has been some questions of what this InterViews is...
You will find attached some information which I cut out from
one document (you can find the full papers in interviews.stanford.edu)
I myself use only the sample client "doc" which is a simple
WYSIWYG document editing tool. It stores it's files as LaTeX-like
format and outputs postscript for printing. You can also include
pictures and draw them with the sample application idraw.
It is very nice for writing little documents!
Also, there is ibuild, an interactive interface builder ( which
I haven't even tried ) which let's you design your user interfaces.

Recently, Kenji Okamoto posted his diffs for Ingres89 to comp.unix.bsd.
I applied those diffs, tweaked a couple of Makefiles and was able to get
Ingres89 running remarkably well.
I have sent two files to bsdi.com: ingres89.tar.Z and Ingres.diff.Z.
ingres89.tar.Z is the original Berkeley ingres code with Kenji's diffs
applied plus my makefile tweaks. Ingres.diff.Z consists of only Kenji's diffs.
If you get ingres89.tar.Z, you do not need to pick up Ingres.diff.Z.
I stuck both in the sw/gamma/progs directory. I did this for two reasons:
1) it was one of the only places I had write permission.
2) I have only tested this against gamma.
Since Kenji's diffs were for 386BSD, I don't suppose beta should have any
problem whatsoever. I added a README.bsdi file to ingres89.tar.Z which
describes what the tar file consists of and tells you how I ported it.
Basically, with the tar file, you should have to type make and very little
else.
It is impressive seeing a relational database running under BSD/386. Amaze
your friends! Perhaps the BSDI people may want to think about packaging
this in as standard software (or at least sticking it in an unsupported
directory!)
I've been using it for about a week and have found only 2 bugs (both minor).
One is an Embedded QUEL/C bug and another is creating a secondary index with
six columns (five works fine. Six SEGV's).
Oh, yes, I am looking at postgres right now and have found really only two
major problems: 1) Lack of shared memory (this can be fixed with those kernel
hacks, I know). 2) Lack of System V Semaphores. If anyone has a good
solution to this one, please let me know.

I made a small modification to the kernel source file
i386/isa/pccons.c to allow
SCO-style terminal escapes to change colors on a character-mode screen, for
those of us who haven't gotten X to work yet. The escape sequences are:
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n
where n is one of the following:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
For the background settings, colors 8-15 are the same as 0-7, and the 0x8 bit
turns on blinking (at least on my hardware). This can be changed by
reprogramming the meaning of the bit in the hardware, but I haven't done that
yet. Kent Peacock <kentp@svmp03>

I have a new version of the console terminal emulator code (kernel pccons.c)
with a number of changes from various beta sites, as well as some fixes
that I have made and a lot of cleanup. It is based on fixes from
John Haugen for the PS/2 machines and the code from Dirk Husemann
to do (most of) the German keyboard stuff using the ALT key(s).
It does not (yet?) have Greg Lehey's code for German multiple-key
sequences. The current tables use ALT as a meta key except where
it is used for alternate characters.
Because the files are moderately large, I have put them out for
anonymous FTP from liberty.BSDI.COM for the moment; they are in
/hidden/pccons.shar. I will mail them on request to folks
without FTP access, and will mail them now those who have already
requested them.
I think it fixes these problems:
o left and right shift, control and alt keys are recognized separately,
and it correctly deals with pressing both keys and then releasing one.
o it recognizes extended-keyboard keys separately from the main keyboard
(or keypad) equivalents (this was needed for right control and alt).
As a result, arrow keys and editing keypad keys no longer produce digits.
o The arrow keys are now supported.
o The num lock key is recognized and used, and the keypad produces numbers
only when num lock is on. Num lock is set at initialization.
o the normal, standout and kernel foreground/background colors are settable
by SCO-compatible escape sequences (from Kent Peacock), and the cursor
can be changed to a block cursor.
o a problem resulting in reentrance of sput is fixed, and output reordering
problems that resulted seem to be fixed. A side effect may be that
more of the output processing, including scrolling, will be done
at base priority rather than spltty. (This may help reduce silo
overflows on machines where the console is in use but X is not.)
o a lot of the code has been cleaned up, and even uses manifest constants
for many of the magic numbers (not yet all)
o no longer crashes when cursor addressing, etc. are out of range
o the cursor is kept in sync during most kernel output (during autoconfig,
for kernel input, etc.)
At least the following are not yet fixed:
o recognition of the stupid pause key code sequence (it still toggles num lock)
o function keys, arrow keys, still do nothing useful, although the keys
are recognized and they can now be defined to produce a string.
Similarly for numeric keypad keys when num-lock is not set.
I don't know what these keys should send.
o the standalone kbd.c has not been converted yet; I compile it using
the old pcconstab.* files for now.
Notes on the new escape sequences:
Color codes:
0 - black 1 - blue 2 - green 3 - cyan
4 - red 5 - magenta 6 - brown 7 - white
For foreground, the following "intense" color variants are available.
(In background, these set the corresponding value above plus the blinking
attribute.)
8 - gray 9 - light blue 10 - lt green 11 - lt cyan
12 - lt red 13 - lt magenta 14 - yellow 15 - hi white
ESC[=nF - set normal foreground color to n (default white)
ESC[=nG - set normal background color to n (default black)
ESC[=nH - set reverse video foreground color to n (default black)
ESC[=nI - set reverse video background color to n (default white)
ESC[=nK - set kernel foreground color to n (default hi white, had been yellow)
ESC[=nL - set kernel background color to n (default blue)
ESC[1_ - set block cursor
ESC[0_ - set underscore cursor

I believe the below patch fixes at least 2 bugs from the bug list (#455 and
???) . The second one I turned in the other day but forgot the auto-response
number.
Hopefully it won't create any new ones. :-)
This patch fixes the problems:
- 'kill -HUP 1' did not respawn a job if you've changed its command line.
- init restarted too fast (I stuck in 2 second pause before job spawning)
- init respawned a job too fast after it was respawning too fast. I split
one define into two.
Let me know if I've done something bad here but our system has been up for
hours (and numerous kill -HUP 1 calls) with no problems.
Also, the logout.patch from the patch directory that I applied, generate tons
of "can't register logout..." messages (1 for each time a job restarted) so I
removed the else and the warning. Anyone else have this problem?

(GAMMA) Recently I purchased a Longshine LCS-8880 el-cheapo 4-port serial card
from Altex Electronics for about $75 plus shipping. The card has a single DB37
on the back panel with a cable that fans out to four male DB25 connectors, has
socketted 16450-style UARTs (easy to swap out for 16550's if needed), and in
general looks like pretty solid hardware.
It supports two address ranges, 0x1a0-0x1bf, or 0x2a0-0x2bf in the 'enhanced'
mode where all four ports share one interrupt line, which can be 2/9,3,4,5,6,7.

We aquired a used DEC hard drive which did not seem to spin up at all.
After digging around an Ultrix system, we discovered that the drive
needed a START_UNIT command to get it going. Here is a fix for the
scsi/sd.c driver which will issue a start unit upon boot (only to a
DEC drive at this moment. Issueing the start unit did not
cause problems for other drives, so I think the DEC compare can be
safely removed). If anyone else is having trouble getting unknown drives
to spin-up this will probably fix the problem.

I can't live without my 8 port serial card, so I quickly hacked
gamma 0.9 com.c to support it with my generic multiport modifications.
While testing the bidirectional line usage, I discovered a bug, at
least in my opinion, in the DCD detection (fix included).
This version isn't as robust as the latest stuff I had for beta 0.3.3,
but it works. Also, something is interfering with the bidirectional
line usage.
(Sorry about posting this to both gamma and beta lists, but I wasn't
sure if a gamma list exists)
You have to add something along the lines of the following to your config
file:
# COM ports
# APT HSS08 multi-port serial card
device com0 at isa? port 0x100
device com1 at isa? port 0x108
device com2 at isa? port 0x110
device com3 at isa? port 0x118
device com4 at isa? port 0x120
device com5 at isa? port 0x128
device com6 at isa? port 0x130
device com7 at isa? port 0x138
The HSS08 shares one IRQ for all the ports, so I get warnings about
conflicting IRQs from the autoconfigurator during boot, but it works.
I also added:
stty -f /dev/com0 clocal
stty -f /dev/com1 clocal
...
to my /etc/rc.local, so things would stop blocking unexpectedly.

Someone reported a problem with slip where they would get host unreachable
errors even though the routing entries looked fine. I found a bug
in slip that would cause this error if the line was not using hardware
carrier detect, but instead used the clocal flag. Slip was checking
carrier detect without checking clocal as well. The fix is appended.

I find it quite annoying that stock ps reports the name of /dev/com1 to
be co, the same as for /dev/console. The following 4 additional lines to
print.c in the ps directory fixes that:

The distributed new sed is unable to compile regular expressions
like this one (occuring frequently in GNU configure scripts, found
this one from the gdb 4.7 configure)
s/^[-a-z_]*=//
The problem is with the first character in the [] character set.
Traditional sed (BSD 4.3) allows a single - to be treated as a
ordinary character.
As sed uses the regex stuff in libcompat, I fixed it to allow
this syntax in /usr/src/lib/libcompat/regcomp.c See the case
that was removed by #ifdef notdef
This problem also exists in the libc regexp version. But as
I do not know what POSIX has to say about this syntax, I haven't
bothered to fix it there too.

Tcpdump patches:
Patch 1
This is a real bug. If you have NE[12]000 Ethernet card or
3Com EtherLink III(ef?) or EtherLink Plus(ep?) card, you should
better to apply this patch.
Patch2
Yesterday, I posted my fix to here. Today, I found a much
better way to fix this problem. If you already applied my
previous fix, please restore files(both net/bpf.c and
i386/isa/if_ne.c) and then apply the following fix.

If you are running version 8.9 of Ingres on BSD/386, you may have noticed
some problems with the locking deamon. The biggest problem, which I fixed,
is that the ingreslock program is using older semantics for select. They
used long's with select instead of fd_set's so select gets horribly
confused. I assume this is a relic of the days when the second parameter
to select was just an int.
Anyway, I removed the bit fiddling and changed all of the manipulations to
their correct FD_XXX counterparts. Plus, I initialized a table that
seemed to need it (maybe it didn't, but it doesn't to hurt!)
If you have picked up ingres89.tar.Z from bsdi.com or applied the
Ingres.diff file sent there, just:
cd /usr/ingres/source/support (or your source area/support)
patch -p <this_file
I have found a couple of other changes from the Lynix port. I'll be posting
those very soon:

Below is a shar archive with the necessary changes for BSDI. They
has been tested on gamma 1 and gamma 3. I do not know if they will
work on the beta release.
To configure and compile smail, you will need to install a current version
of bash as /bin/sh. The shipped version of /bin/sh (ash) will not work,
and neither will older versions of bash. Also, at least on gamma 1, you will
need to create the file mkdriv.perl by running mkdriv.awk through
a2p (awk to perl). THe makefile shipped with smail3-28 will then know
to do the right thing.

Subject: Section 4. BSDI Archive Sites
Date: Thu Dec 10 19:00:29 EST 1992
========================================================================
[ These are the sites that are currently willing to archive stuff for
the BSDI system. They are numbered and described below. Please
contact the person listed in the description with problems, not me. I
won't be able to help you. ]
1. nic.funet.fi
Please, if possible, ftp all binaries/sources/patches of BSD/386 to
nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100). There is plenty of disk space available
and I'm willing to try to keep things in order there.
The directory in nic is ~pub/unix/386ix/bsd386/incoming . I just got added
to beta list, after being reading the idle alpha list for a while, so
please tell me about the other archive sites containing bsd/386 material!
We have had this directory in nic since we got the alpha release, but the
only material I have had there is some xview3 patches.
Send me a note at <an...@nic.funet.fi> , if you upload something to nic,
describing the bits you sent.
Happy hacking, Antti-Pekka
2. ftp.unm.edu
In addition, on the machine ftp.unm.edu is available via anon ftp.
It has a directory called pub/BSDI-386 (to hopefully cut some of the
confusion with 386BSD) and at the moment contains very little.
Any patches relating to BSD/386 that I receive (via email or
other means) will be place there. At the moment, I only have
~60 megs of space to deal with so I can't deal with too many
full sources, but we are working on a 2 gig ftp server and
when that becomes a reality, I don't think space will be
a problem.
Any patches posted to the beta list from this point on will
appear there, if you have posted a patch to the list in the
past, please mail it to me directly.
Steve Freed <sfr...@ariel.unm.edu>
3. bsdi.com
An archive is now available for programs, patches, information, and ports
for BSD/386 systems. The archive is at bsdi.com [192.48.96.23] in the
directories under "/bsdi.sw/sw". Please report problems with the site
to mcco...@bsdi.com or s...@acd4.acd.com. Sorry it took me so long to
get things going but I think that you will like it.
The archive includes all of the patches that have been posted to the beta
mailing list and a list of all postings to the bata list, stored by month.
Also available are whole ported programs or patches to some well known
packages to make them run under BSD/386. If you have software or patches
that you would like to contribute to the archive, please drop me a message.
I will also be setting up a "gamma" directory under /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma
for storing programs and patches for the gamma release of BSD/386.
The gamma mailing list will also be archived there on a monthly basis.
