I would like to get any input on whether or not the book "Using C with
Curses, Lex and Yacc" is worth getting to learn about using curses. I am
also interested in anyones comments on the window shell that the book says
you will build as you go thru the book. Has anyone typed this in? Is it
possibly available from an ftp site, for one to try out before one buys?

I have not seen "Using C with Curses, Lex, and Yacc" but here is a good book that explains curses thouroughly: UNIX Curses Explained Berny Goodheart Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-931957-3 About 280 pages It covers curses windows, curses.h, video attributes, pads, terminfo capabilities, and low lever terminfo library, and more. A good reference book covering curses.

I am trying to load Unix System V Release 4.0 2.1 on a 25mhz 386 with AMI Bios. The system has a 330 meg ESDI drive and 8 meg of RAM (80ns). I have been running Unix System V 3.2.2 and MS-DOS on this system for over a year and a half without a hitch. Upon loading 4.0 2.1, however, I get the delightful message "PANIC: vfs_mount: cannot mount root" and my system procedes to dump 1952 pages and then tells me to "Reboot the system". I tried ripping out the AMI Bios and installing Phoenix Bios to no avail. I even pulled out the ESDI drive and board and put back in my old MFM controller and drives. I tried turning off everything in the system bios (shadow ram, video ram shadowing, etc, etc, etc) and it kept giving me the same message everytime. BTW, I loaded the system on a 20mhz AT&T WGS system here, so I *know* that the software is O.K., because it is running perfectly on the WGS. The only difference between the WGS system and the AMI system is that the WGS has 16meg and the AMI has 8meg of RAM. So, is there anyone out there who knows anything about this and could be of assistance? How about memory requirements, do I need more than 8 meg? (If I do, then the people who developed this, ought to be put out to pasture...) I've given up for now, so I'll await any answers I might receive from anyone out here....... Thanx in advance, Raist att!ihlpl!stg archmage@merlin.ih.att.com
