Annotation of 43BSD/contrib/notes/HINTS, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: Here are a few hints for installing notes on random machines or
        !             2: upgrading from previous releases.
        !             3: 
        !             4: @ Pyramid users should compile this program in the 4.2 BSD Universe
        !             5: instead of the ATT Universe.
        !             6: 
        !             7: @ PDP-11 users will undoubtedly have to include the "-i" flag in
        !             8: Makefiles for "CFLAGS" since the code will require split-I/D.
        !             9: 
        !            10: @ If you are upgrading from a previous release, there's a fair
        !            11: chance that your database will have to be reformatted. Look
        !            12: into the programs "nfload" and "nfdump" which help you
        !            13: to convert between formats. You may also want to make use
        !            14: of the "fieldzero" program in the utility directory which will
        !            15: fill in default values for some of the more recently added 
        !            16: fields.
        !            17: 
        !            18: @ Perkin-Elmer users: A comment from a PE site with notesfiles
        !            19:  == Due to certain strangeness in PE's implementation of the loader, it is
        !            20:  == necessary to use a -k 8000 (or so) as a loader flag.  The runtime stack's
        !            21:  == maximum size is fixed at load time and the default 4097 is too small, this
        !            22:  == results in core dumps and other unfortunate things.
