RE: [U2] Printer Creeping

We had several okidata printers at CSI Donner when I worked there - we
killed more trees with these little things than you could throw a rock at.
Any who, there was a part on the tractor assembly that wore out on a regular
basis.  For us it was about every 6 to 8 months, and the maintenance guys
would be changing that piece.

Instead of a chain, or a gear assembly, it's just two rollers rubbing
against each other to advance the paper and sooner or later they're a goner.
That's when you get the slow creeping of the paper, and the creeping feeling
you should have bought an Epson. :)

I oil the slidebars monthly with 3-in-1 oil. They are very clean and shiny
still.

RE: [U2] Printer Creeping SOLVED

Karl:

It's amazing how back in the old days the first thing we'd have looked for
is bad hardware.  Now, the first think we look for is bad software.  :-(

Okay, the printer is a creep... (creap?)... I took it in and after
removing just about everything, the service guy found the spring-lock that
holds the top gears against the bottom gears had come off. I guess that
paper jam last month was worse than I thought. In any case, they put it
back on and the printer is back to 'normal' and giving service as
expected.

I wish I had been onsite when the jam occurred. The person who cleared the
jam mentioned that the paper was in pretty tight...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think the principle mentioned that if it's
less than one line, it's mechanical and if it's a line-sized creep, it's
software. Very good rule of thumb. Thanks Jeff, for sending that along.

[U2] Program Mgmt System

  To all,

      We are in process of getting new systems here, which will be
allowing us to segregate
the programming people from the live system In this light, we will
actually be setting up a
form testing to implementation environment.

Question:  Does anybody know of a good  'software management' program
out there  that will
	    allow us to manage program version control, implementation
process, auditing
	    capabilities, etc, etc.    Any suggestions will be much
appreciated.

RE: [U2] UV FILEINFO( Fvar, FINFO$HDRLAYOUT ) gone at 10.1, 10.2?

<snip>

After 10.0, does UNIVERSE.INCLUDE FILEINFO.H still have
   EQUATE FINFO$HDRLAYOUT TO 99
followed by a section of FH$... equates?
The documentation, by a sin of omission, suggests otherwise.

</snip>

The FILEINFO.H file in UV 10.2 appears to be the same as 10.0.8 except with the addition of FINFO$ENCINFO for
ecryption. The FH$... stuff is all the same.

>From the 10.2 file:

0054: EQUATE FINFO$HDRLAYOUT        to 99  ;* Special key to retrieve hdr layout

You might want to contact Susan Joslyn (SJ +)  - she sells a configuration package. For deployment I'll make a
shameless plug for mvInstaller (www.brianleach.co.uk)

PRC from Susan Joslyn at SJPlus.  I have used it, installed it and it is
easy to work with, as is Susan.  It really works.

And I probably should have said PRC comes from www.sjplus.com ... That would
have been helpful.

RE: [U2] Program Mgmt System

Your best bet for a U2 aware integrated environment is PRC -- it's what we
use (and probably most people who do U2 development) -- you can get CVS to
do what you want, but it's more work from the integration standpoint - PRC
will 'wrap' the editors you typically use and ensure changes are captured.

It's like most Change management - you reap what you sow.  It's a royal pain
when you want to do a one line change and have to complete 10 steps to do
it.  But, ultimately, that's what you're trying to get control of - it's the
one line changes that wreak havoc as well!

YMMV, but it's what I've been using...

Barry,

So Susan J (list member) doesn't have to toot her own horn, I will. We have been using PRC Revision Control
Software since 2001 and could be happier with it.  (www.sjplus.com)

Handles programs, data items (if desired), etc... 

Thanks,
