The front entrance to McVey Hall (across from Kastle Hall) and the southside handicap entrance off Funkhouser Drive are open. The rear door on the northside of McVey Hall (the same side as the Data Center) offers limited access, i.e., you'll have to go between McVey Hall and the Grehan Building (Journalism) to use it. ASTECC construction is expected to last for some time, and we appreciate your patience. ********************************************************************* ATTENTION: COURIER HST 9600 BAUD MODEMS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY HERE! A number of people have recently purchased Courier 9600 baud HST modems from University Stores, and possibly from other sources. These modems use a proprietary 9600 baud protocal (HST) rather than the standard V.32/V.32bis protocol. These modems will NOT work properly with the 9600 baud modems in the dialup modem pool (8-1996). The HST modems will drop back to 2400 baud using the V.22 protocol, as will the modems in the pool, so they may appear to connect properly. However, they will issue the message "Connect 2400" to the terminal or microcomputer. If you have one (or more) of these modems, please contact the University Stores or your vendor about exchanging it for a V.32 or V.32bis model as soon as possible. ********************************************************************* UK CLASS SCHEDULE NOW ON VIEW A listing of UK classes is now available online View.

If all your userids are CMS, you needn't worry about any conversion changes affecting you. However, if you have both MVS and CMS userids, you may have been affected by the conversion. GETTING HELP If you need help with or want more information at any time about the conversion, contact Janet Hyatt at 257-2212, hyatt@ukcc.uky.edu, 130 McVey Hall; Larry Johnson at 257-2217, johnson@ukcc.uky.edu, 130 McVey Hall; or Jack Coffman at 257-2273, uka051@ukcc.uky.edu, 218 McVey Hall. ACF2 LOG ON ERROR MESSAGES If you receive one of the following ACF2 messages, don't panic. Just follow the steps outlined below. ACF01013 LOGONID logonid SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF PASSWORD VIOLATIONS This message means you've tried to enter more than six incorrect passwords. The only way to correct this is to contact Janet Hyatt or Larry Johnson (listed above) during normal business hours. If you receive this message during off-hours, an Operator can allow you to make one more attempt to log on. Call 257-2900, and request that you be allowed one more chance to log on. If this last attempt fails, you'll need to contact Janet Hyatt or Larry Johnson during the next business day. ACF01012 PASSWORD NOT MATCHED This message means that the password you're entering doesn't match the password that is stored in ACF2. There are several options you may follow in this case. First of all, rekey your password, just in case you misspelled it the first time. Try another one of your passwords. Check your batch jobs for incorrect passwords, and replace them with your CMS password. If none of these solutions correct the problem, contact one of the people listed above for help as soon as possible. ACFAC5218E INCORRECT ACF2 PASSWORD ENTERED This message also means that the password you're entering doesn't match the password that is stored in ACF2. There are several options you may follow in this case. First of all, rekey your password, just in case you misspelled it the first time. Try another one of your passwords. Check your batch jobs for incorrect passwords, and replace them with your CMS password. If none of these solutions correct the problem, contact one of the people listed above for help as soon as possible. ACF01017 PASSWORD FOR LOGONID logonid HAS EXPIRED This message means that you haven't yet changed your password. If you're logging onto CMS, enter old password/new password The system will ask you to repeat the new password. If you enter your old password incorrectly, the system will tell you that the password does not match. If you receive this message on your batch job output, check the password in your batch job to be sure it corresponds to the batch job's userid. If it doesn't correspond, put the statments //*LOGONID logonid //*PASSWORD old password/new password in your JCL.

I would like to gripe about that big rental truck illegally parked in front of McVey Hall. It's been there in the middle of the way since last Friday night! >>>ASTECC construction is beginning between McVey Hall, the Robotics Center, and Anderson Hall, and is expected to continue for several months. We know it's an inconvenience, and we're doing all we can to make things easier for everyone. 2. We could use a few more PrimeWord manuals up here on the public tables. >>>Thanks for letting us know; we'll put some more out for you. 3. Someone in 111 McVey Hall is making it very difficult to work at night. She has been belligerent and loud and started smoking cigarettes, despite everyone's objections. What can we do? >>>Any disruption of the use of the computing facilities is a violation of UK's computing use policy. We'll look into this. Please continue to report these instances to us. 4. Is there anyway to reject incoming mail? If this cannot be done, I'd like to have my account monitored because of constant harassment from several people. Can my account be anonymous so people can't know when I'm on? If not, I'd like the telephone number of the administrators so I can press charges against these users if this harassment continues. >>>There is no way at the present time to limit your incoming mail, and we do not allow anonymous accounts. If you wish to be anonymous, the best way is to log on, do your work, and get off without talking to anyone else. As for the harassment, we suggest you go to the campus police. Their phone number is 257-1616. 5. Is there a reason that the only job list online VIEW is from July 5th? Will the online version always run two weeks late? >>>The University job listing comes out every Thursday. We are trying to have it updated each Thursday night, but due to some technical complexities, we're running a little late. 6. There are several terminals in McVey 103 with sticking keys and other terrible things. They have been this way for several weeks now. >>>Thanks for reporting it; we'll see what we can do. 7. I know you have said before, but please tell me again what the termies in the new King micro lab emulate? Is it 910p or vt100? >>>Emulate tvi955s. We apologize for the confusion earlier this summer, but the wrong terminals got ordered. 8. Recently, the ability to telnet has been cut off at the micro labs. Usually, it is back up in a few minutes. Is there work being done on the Sun? Please let me know when these problems will be taken care of. >>>We had to replace a piece of hardware which may have caused the delay. All is well now, and we apologize for the inconvenience. 9. What happens if your .term and .pwterminal variables are different? >>>As long as the software that uses each of these knows what the terminals mean, and how to use them and you have set the correct type, it will all function properly. If you use TSET to set your terminal variables you shouldn't have any problems. 10. Why can't UKnet do a search before it tries to connect? Why can't it do a search on all available servers in some kind of an array? Then, if it is in the array, try to connect. >>>Actually, UKnet does do a search, but it can't tell if a name is invalid. Individual NIUs simply do not have the capacity to do this. 11. The Finger program apparently dosen't like hyphens in Internet addresses. Fine, unless you want to FINGER someone at, say, Ohio State, which uses hyphens in its Internet address. >>>Thanks for pointing this out; FINGER will now accept hyphens in the domain name. 12. I have been using Zmail, and the options on it are much better than those offered by the regular Prime mailer. Is there any way to get something like that installed? Not that there's anything wrong with the existing one, but it is just too slow sometimes. If not, how about at least showing the actual sender and the subject of the letter? >>>Zmail is only the front end to our mailer, so it can't be faster. We are in the progress of writing a new mailer which should be faster and easier to use. 13. Do you think maybe the new mailer could handle PASSTHRUs? >>>Yes, the new mailer will have the capacity to handle PASSTHRUs. 14. The Prime keeps locking up when getting a phone -disp or a who listing with user names. If I CONTROL-P, the listing continues for a few lines then quits. I have let it hold for as long as five minutes before breaking the sequence. I have only received this on the 2400 bps so far. >>>We are having modem problems. Please report the phone number of the line you're connected to, not the phone number you dialed. You can press BREAK, put your connection on hold, list your connection, and get the phone number. 15. Suppose that you are editing a file, and you press DEL-F to save it. If you type in a filename with an extra space on the end, the editor will inform you that your filename has spaces in it and to try again. I don't recall previous versions of the editor having this problem. >>>It does seem a little silly not to strip out the blank lines; we'll pass the information on. 16. The Gripe manager is using tab or something at the top of this letter and you receive a <3145 or whatever. Can't this be stopped? >>>We're working on improving GRIPE and making more interface changes. Stay tuned for details as soon as they're available. 17. Ports 10, 11, and 13 on UKnet's telnet are frozen. >>>This is a recurring problem, and we'll clear the ports. We apologize for the inconvenience. 18. The number is 258-4838, niu 735488A. After about every 800 characters output just stops until you send a CONTROL-P. >>>Thanks for reporting this; we've removed the modem. 19. Are there any modems with v.42bis compression online? As far as I can tell, both the 258-2400 and 258-1996 lines support only MNP5 compression. >>>We do not have v.42 error correction at this time. 20. When doing anything requiring screen scrolling, the process begins and then stops, leaving all keys inoperable. Nothing works. This forces me to disconnect and log on again. Is this a problem with my modem, or is it a problem with ukpr software? >>>This is a modem problem that has been reported to the network group. If it happens again, try hitting BREAK, or CONTROL-P; this seems to allow you to continue. Then put the connection on hold, find out which modem number you're connected to (type LIST at the network prompt), hang up, dial back, and report it again. We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing. 21. I've used the command CHFN to change my office and phone numbers, however, the old information always returns when I FINGER my own account. What am I doing wrong? >>>The loaded database is updated periodically. After you use CHFN, the file is updated, but not the database. You only have to wait for the update to occur. 22. I tried to print a file on the laser printer in 111 McVey Hall, and nothing happened. I checked the printer and the connections, and everything was okay. What do I do now? >>>You should report this via GRIPE during the day, and tell an Operator at night. 23. The printer at Nursing cuts off the tops of every word. >>>Thanks for letting us know; we'll check it out. 24. What happened to the CATA command? >>>CATA was removed in favor of LD. CATA did not report all information, and reported other information incorrectly. 25. I have encountered two problems using C on Prime. I have written around one of them, but the other still has me puzzled. I get an xxx error when I use EXEC to compile and bind code. I'm not sure what the deal is, and I haven't tried it to see if it is BIND or the CC compiler that does it. Nor have I checked to see if the bug happens when EXEC is not used. >>>The time() function takes an argument that is a pointer to a time_t. If you want to return the value from your code, simply change the call to ts = time((time_t *) NULL); 26. My terminal keeps locking up! Every time I'm in the middle of a large output my terminal locks up completely, and I can't even ESC DI out of it. I have to hang up and call back. >>>If your lockups are happening while you are logged on to a modem on UKnet, go back to UKnet and type SET FLOW NONE or S F N. 27. I was looking through subroutines to see if I could figure out how to find out how long a user has been idle on their connection. It would be nice to know because in some cases, a person has been away from their terminal for about three hours. I was also wondering if this information could be added to the FINGER command. >>>Thanks for the suggestion; we'll look into it. ********************************************************************* SUGGESTIONS 1. Is there any way to include parts of the original message when replying to electronic mail ? >>>Yes; just use the REPLY TEXT command on the command line in MAIL. Press the Help PF key in mail and select Reply for more information. 2. How do I set the PF keys in MAIL? The help indicates "If screenmode = send (for example), then set ." However, these are to be set in the MAILUSER XEDIT file, and XEDIT does not have the if, then construction. >>>XEDIT doesn't have the if, then construction, but Rexx does. MAILUSER XEDIT is a macro written in Rexx that you can have on your disk to tailor MAIL to your liking. can be a SET PFn something other than the default. If you want a PF key set differently every time, put it into the MAILUSER XEDIT file. Mail has three different modes, Read for reading mail, Send for sending mail, and Menu for listing the letter in the notebook. Enter HELP PROFILE while in MAIL for more information. To set your PF keys differently for different modes, use the if, then construct or the Select construct in the MAILUSER XEDIT file: /* Profile for MAIL & MAILBOOK */ Arg Type Select When Type = "INITIAL" Then Do ... End When Type = "SEND" Then Do ... End When Type = "READ" Then Do ... End When Type = "MENU" Then Do ... End Otherwise Say "Unrecognized Type: '"Type"'" End 3. Is there any list of the many minidisks to which users access via the GRAB command? Is the knowledge of the existence of these disks not subject to public inspection? >>>Thanks for the good idea. Watch for something in VIEW UKCC. 4. When I GRAB a resource, why do I have to be told who else has access to it? This becomes a problem when you GRAB PUBLIC using a slow terminal. >>>Use the QUIET option to prevent GRAB from displaying all of those other links; GRAB PUBLIC (QUIET. QUIET is not the default because sometimes is it useful to see who has what kind of access to a disk; it can affect the kind of link you can make. For instance, two people can't both get write access to the same disk at the same time. 5. I believe you need to update the Helper PASSWORD command on menu 9 to work with ACF2/VM. I had to shell out of Helper to make a password change that would stick. >>>Thanks for reporting the Helper password problem. It works now, but it is a little different than it was before ACF2/VM. 6. Has anyone reported that the CP QUERY READER ALL XFER ALL command sometimes fails? >>>Yes, we know about this problem. We had a local mod put into our VM/XA 2.1 code that changed the origin when a file was transferred. It was assumed that code added to VM/ESA to support secure origin of reader files would allow us to do without the mod for ESA. We're working on it. ************************************************************************* UKCC SERVICE DIRECTORY McVey Service E-Mail Address Phone Hall Vice President, Information Services Eugene R.
