Alias in SCO network configuration
We have many remote servers that are running different versions of the SCO operating system. The current server inventory includes the usage of SCO 3.2v5.0.5 3.2v5.0.6 and 3.2v5.0.7.
Recently, there have been some ongoing problems when a re-boot is done with some of these remote servers. Afetr the re-boot, we have run an "ifconfig -a" command, and we find an alias exists for the network address of the remote server. This problem is resolved when we mannually run an "ifconfig" command to remove the alias. We also run an "arp" command to clear it's settings.
What is needed to fix this problem for the longer term is not known because we do not know how an alias is being generated? When existing servers are up and running, there are no existing aliases in the network configurations. We did several scans of our existing servers, but have not yet been able to determine the root cause of this problem.
Would this problem show up in some configuration file such as /etc/rc2.d/S85tcp? Does the scoadmin command (for the network config mgr) need to be run to verify and to re-store the tcp settings? Should the SCO kernal be re-linked? Are there any other items that could be checked for a problem cause?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

load_dat_font
load_dat_font(3alleg4) Allegro manual load_dat_font(3alleg4)
NAME
load_dat_font - Loads a FONT from an Allegro datafile.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *load_dat_font(const char *filename, RGB *pal, void *param)
DESCRIPTION
Loads a FONT from an Allegro datafile. You can set param parameter to point to an array that holds two strings that identify the font and
the palette in the datafile by name. The first string in this list is the name of the font. You can pass NULL here to just load the first
font found in the datafile. The second string can be used to specify the name of the palette associated with the font. This is only
returned if the pal parameter is not NULL. If you pass NULL for the name of the palette, the last palette found before the font was found
is returned. You can also pass NULL for param, which is treated as if you had passed NULL for both strings separately. In this case, the
function will simply load the first font it finds from the datafile and the palette that precedes it.
For example, suppose you have a datafile named `fonts.dat' with the following contents:
FONT FONT_1_DATA
FONT FONT_2_DATA
FONT FONT_3_DATA
PAL FONT_1_PALETTE
PAL FONT_2_PALETTE
Then the following code will load FONT_1_DATA as a FONT and return FONT_1_PALETTE as the palette:
FONT *f;
PALETTE pal;
char *names[] = { "FONT_1_DATA", "FONT_1_PALETTE" }
f = load_dat_font("fonts.dat", pal, names);
If instead you want to load the second font, FONT_2, from the datafile, you would use:
FONT *f;
PALETTE pal;
char *names[] = { "FONT_2_DATA", "FONT_2_PALETTE" }
f = load_dat_font("fonts.dat", pal, names);
If you want to load the third font, but not bother with a palette, use:
FONT *f;
char *names[] = { "FONT_3_DATA", NULL }
f = load_dat_font("fonts.dat", NULL, names);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it to
avoid memory leaks.
