IBM Risc migration
Hi all,
I have been dealing with the following problem one week now without any progress.
I've a source code written in C which is using X libraries in order to create a graphical interface to visualise results produced by another code written in Fortran.
The README file of the C code says clearly that it is written only for IBM Risc 6000 machines.
Does anyone know if this code can run on any other unix/linux platform.
I have to add that the makefile uses the xlc compiler made by IBM for certain IBM platforms.
My feeling is that this code is impossible to run somewhere else.
Is it correct?
I appreciate any feedback because I have DEATH-lines (deadlines0 to respect

I am trying to find PCI Ethernet cards that are compatible with the IBM RISC 6000 - B50 Power PC. None of the regular NIC's seem to have AIX drivers. Does anyone know of AIX drivers for standard PCI Ethernet NIC's or a non IBM NIC that works with the Model B50 at 10/100 MB ? (0 Replies)

vos_help
VOS_HELP(1) AFS Command Reference VOS_HELP(1)
NAME
vos_help - Displays help for vos commands
SYNOPSIS
vos help [-topic <help string>+] [-help]
vos h [-t <help string>+] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The vos help command displays the complete online help entry (short description and syntax statement) for each command operation code
specified by the -topic argument. If the -topic argument is omitted, the output includes the first line (name and short description) of the
online help entry for every vos command.
To list every vos command whose name or short description includes a specified keyword, use the vos apropos command.
OPTIONS
-topic <help string>+
Identifies each command for which to display the complete online help entry. Omit the vos part of the command name, providing only the
operation code (for example, specify create, not vos create). If this argument is omitted, the output briefly describes every vos
command.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The online help entry for each vos command consists of the following two or three lines:
o The first line names the command and briefly describes its function.
o The second line lists aliases for the command, if any.
o The final line, which begins with the string "Usage", lists the command's options in the prescribed order. Online help entries use the
same symbols (for example, brackets) as the reference pages in this document.
EXAMPLES
The following command displays the online help entry for the vos create command:
% vos help create
vos create: create a new volume
Usage: vos create -server <machine name> -partition <partition name>
-name <volume name> [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
[-verbose] [-help]
