SCO Xenix VP/ix 1.1 Update A Patch

[N. Del More]

A  few  weeks  ago  I  posted  an  article  describing  the  problems  I
experianced  using  MS-DOS  applications  under  SCO  Xenix  VP/ix after
intalling the VP/ix Update A package.

Specifically, the symptoms I experianced was a failure  to  refresh  the
screen  until  a  key  was pressed on the terminal.  This occurred using
Wyse 60 terminals on  both  the  standard  com  ports  as  well  as  the
Digiboard Com 8/i multiport board.  The MS-DOS applications were know to
work properly on the previous VP/ix release.

The following is a patch which will correct  the  problem,  please  note
that  you  be  root to apply the patch and you must ensure that you have
installed the correct release of Vp/ix as follows:

	grep rel /etc/perms/vpix.UA

which should return:	
	
	#rel=1.1.1e

or

	strings vpix | fgrep vpixid

which should return:

	vpixid 1.17

once you have established that you do indeed have  the  correct  release
installed  apply  the  adb  patch.   The following script will apply the
patch "painlessly":


	cd /usr/bin
	cp vpix vpix1A.org
	adb -w vpix < [your_path]/vpixpatch.data

Appended below is the actual patch which you can cut and save to a file.
