Xref: watmath net.lan:653 net.wanted:5741 {+ != -} We have two Codata microcomputers connected by ethernet. These run Fusion Release 2.0; by Network Research Corporation. Fusion provides a number of utilities : send,recv,rlogin,... And also a "Fusion Programmer's library". These are library routines for implementing process-to-process communication (using sockets and XNS protocols). The Problems: - the utilities hang up every now and then. For example in the middle of an rlogin the connection is lost and zombie processes can not be removed. - the documentation on the library routines is poor. There are no example programmes. We would like to rewrite the utilities but the information is not there. - we only have pre release-2.0 include files. - when we complain to our supplier in this country, they say that a new release with proper documentation is forthcoming. They have been saying that for a long time. We would be interested to hear from other users of Fusion. In particular the following would be of interest: - experience in writing programmes using Fusion libraries - new/better documentation for Fusion stuff - UUCP or real address of NRC. - Information on release 3 of Fusion - experience in interfacing Fusion and UUCP Please reply by mail. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - F.
