Annotation of 43BSD/contrib/notes/HINTS, revision 1.1.1.1

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.
