Seems I'd built the Turbo C config file by changing the integrated environment settings and then running TCCONFIG on it. The online environment settings had debugging code turned on by default. Fixing that made my .EXE file 345K, and 160K after PKLITEing it. Unfortunately, the whole exercise didn't get me much more available memory on the DG1; after a few minutes, it's gotten itself an 88K heap, with 2700 bytes of core remaining. The good news is that it'll do about three things at once noe before running out of heap. This is with just about everything turned off, and represents about the maximal configuration the DG1 will support. Phil, are you planning on integrating RSPF into the stock code? If/when you do, I'll probably switch back on the DG1... ...Jay, K5ZC ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Feb 91 17:19:48 -0500 From: cep4478@ultb.isc.rit.edu (C.E. Piggott) Subject: remote-sysop crashes more frequent To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu Hello - I have noticed that if I'm on a remote ax.25 connection (i.e. from school) and I type 'ifconfig' , the system crashes. Sometimes it hangs, often it issues a PANIC because of a timer loop. Anybody else experienced this? I'm going through the remote op commands to see if anything else is causing any trouble. Incidentally, in the 2/1/91 code in the nrcmd.c routine, there are a few places where the factor '1000' (for 1000ms/sec) was not typecast as 1000L, if your "netrom nodetimer" or "netrom obsotimer" loops funny from the net> prompt, this could be the cause. Finally, has anybody implemented some sort of watchdog timer for NOS, so that if it "hangs" the machine can automatically reboot and let autoexec.bat handle the rest?
