DOS MERGE by default loads a special extended memory manager
called MERGEXMS.SYS. It also loads DOS into the High Memory
Area. MERGEXMS.SYS is the only Extended Memory Manager that
can used with DOS services. (Users Guide 149)
On MERGE 4+ it is called MRGXMS
DOS MERGE by default sets expanded memory to 1 meg. You can
easily request more.
NOTE: You should not request more memory
that you need because it wastes system resources. (Users
Guide 150-151).
| Command |
Result |
| dos +aems |
1 meg expanded memory |
| dos +aems# |
# = 1-8, for 1-8 megs |
dos +m2 |
2 megs of extended memory |
| dosopt +m2 +acom2 ads |
grap 2 megs of extended memory and COM2 when the script file '/usr/ias/bin/ads' is executed |
To see the way the DOS MERGE session is set press <Ctrl><Esc>
then <Ctrl><I>.
To kill a DOS session to a <Left-Ctrl><Esc> <Left-Ctrl>
<K>
NOTE: These commands will only work with Merge 3.2.2 or lower.
DOS MERGE supports loading DOS into high memory. This may not
happen during installation of ODT 2.0 or Merge 2.0. You will
need to create a new DOS Image manually for this to happen.
(See Discover Vol. 7, No. 2 for details)
# cd /usr/merge/image
# rm config.mki
# /usr/bin/mkimg
You will also need to do this if you change BUFFERS or
LASTDRIVE. See "Making new DOS images" in the Administering
DOS Services Section of the SCO System Administrator's Guide.
NOTE: If you get the following message:
Cannot find /usr/merge/dosroot/dos/boot.dsk
DOS isn't totally installed. Go into 'startx' and install
DOS.
If you can use a modem under DOS MERGE with out first
disabling the COM port. But you may have to change the
premissions for DOS MERGE to access the device.
chmod 666 /dev/tty1a
chmod 666 /dev/tty1A
NOTE: That I used the lower case device, not the upper case
as you would expect. DOS MERGE looks for the lower case
device.
NOTE: Under OpenServer5 you have to remove the MOUSE associated with
the serial port you are using the modem on. ex: COM1. If you don't
you can use the modem under ROOT but not under any other user. In
other words ROOT and grap the port to call out but the users will get
a message saying the port is in uses or has incorrect permissions.
To set up a unattended tape backup. Add a line to the
/usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root file. To set this up, do the
following:
- cd /usr/ias
- l cron.tab /* if the file exists go to step 5 */
- cat /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root root > cron.root
- vi cron.root and remove the latest line.
- vi cron.root and add the command you want.
- crontab cron.root
* * * * * [tab] {command}
1 2 3 4 5
1 - Minute of the hour
2 - Hour (24 hour clock) of the day
3 - Day of the month
4 - Month of the year
5 - Day(s) of the week
EX: 15 22 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/tar c8vp /usr/ias/indata
This will start the backup at 10:15 PM - Monday -> Friday.
DOS MERGE error VM_DIED: dos: error: the VM86 process died.
Occurs when an application in DOS MERGE attempts to use
286-protected, or 386-protected mode. Merge 2.0 or lower
supports only real mode.
Some applications allow you to invoke them in a specific mode.
The command /usr/lib/merge/instdx.sh corrects the permissions
and link to /bin/dos.
NCALL controls the size of the kernal callout table. The
kernal has the ability to schedule some action at a given real
time; this is often used by a device driver. If the system
message timeout table overflow appears, NCALL should be
increased.
NOTE: NCALL appears under CLOCK.
PSTAT can be used to determine the number of open files,
process and inodes.
To set up a /dev/u file system
sysadmsh -> filesystems -> add -> /dev/u -> {directory name}
If the directory has data in it, it will be lost when the
filesystem is constructed. So if this is the case move the
directory out of the way and copy it back.
If the system losses the file system entry but you can still
get to the data by manually mounting the filesystem. Just
make sure it is unmounted and add the filesystem again. The
data will not be lost.
/etc/devnm is called by bcheckrc which checks and mounts the
root filesystem at system initailization. There is an entry
in the /etc/inittab file which calls bcheckrc. If this file
is missing remove the entry from the inittab file and
reinstall the file under single user mode.
Your system locked up once you passed the date/time message.
You could get into single user mode, but you couldn't get
into multi-user mode. An entry in the /etc/inittab was trying
to execute the scologin script. Which locked up because the
file /usr/lib/X11/scologin/ttyFile was messed up. We erased
the file and the system recreated it when we rebooted the
system.
Listed below are the sum -r numbers for the varies /boot
files.
ODT2 - 00220 153
ODT3 - 47795 154
The devices used by DOS MERGE are defined in the /etc/dosdev
file. This file should match ours and there is a copy of this
file called /usr/lib/merge/dosdev. So if need be copy these
file to the /etc/dosdev file.
If there are having problems with 3151 terminals under DOS
MERGE like the Page/UP and Page/Down keys not working. Check
the /usr/lib/terminfo/3/3151 file and make sure it matches ours.
If not do the following:
cd /usr/lib/terminfo
tic pcssc.src

To exit out of the SCO Desktop with out using a mouse.
ALT SysRq -> Will ask if you really want to quit.
DOS MERGE drive J: should be set to the following:
-OpenServer 5 -> /usr/ldbin
+OpenServer 5 -> /usr/merge/dosroot
NOTE: Do not restore the entire 'dosroot' directory from an older
version of Merge. This will cause problems by overwriting the
new version of Merge with the older version.
If this happens the following may solve the problem.
- ln -s /opt/K/SCO/Merge/3.2.2t/usr/lib/merge/dosside
/usr/merge/dosroot/merge
- dosinstall -> 4 - MS-DOS 6.22 (from built in files)
NOTE: 'dosinstall' will remove the existing version of DOS before
installing the 6.22 version. You may also have to reconstruct the
'autoexec.bat' file.
On OPEN SERVER 5 you will need to modify the /etc/default/mapchan
file. You will need to REM out all tty entries. This will fix
problem with strange characters appearing on the main console.
NOTE: You will have to reboot the system for the change to take
effect.
To access the CD-ROM drive under DOS MERGE prior to MERGE 4.0 add the
following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
mscdex /d:mergecd1 /L:K /M:8
"K" is the drive letter you want the CD-ROM to be assigned. The
drive letter can be any number greater that "J".
(See Page 55 - SCO Merge User's Guide)
To access the CD-ROM under DOS MERGE 4.0 do the following.
- Start the SCO login or startx
- Click on Merge Tools
- Click on Merge Setup
- Highlight "Personal Merge Session Configuration: dos"
- Click on "ok" - double clicking will not work
- Click "Drives & Filesystems". A window will appear showing the
current drive configuration.
- Click on "Add"
- Use the up/down arrows next to Drive until "K" is displayed.
- Click on "CD-ROM" it should say "Devices: /dev/cd0"
- Click "OK"
- Click "Save"
To install Windows 3.1 or 3.11 under DOS MERGE, enter the following
command to start the installation.
winsetup
NOTE: On DOS MERGE versions prior to 3.2.1 install windows to the
"D:\WINDOWS" directory. Which is the users personal drive.
C> - Root main directory
D> - Users personal directory
On DOS MERGE version 3.2.1 or higher install windows to the
"C:\WINDOWS" directory. Which is the users personal drive.
D> - Root main directory
C> - Users personal directory
To install Windows 95 MERGE 4.0, enter the following command to
start the installation.
instwin95cd
Once Windows 95 is installed bring up Windows and install the following:
- change adapter to - Merge Windows/X (Win 95 Version) *
- add printers
- add com ports
- add modem
* If you don't change the adapter and try to bring Windows up on one
of the SunRiver Terminals the screen will appear on the main console.
Changing to this adapter will bring the Windows screen up on the
SunRiver terminal.
NOTE: You may have to install DOS Version 7 before you can and install
Windows. You do this with "instdos7cd". This will install DOS 7
from the Windows CD-ROM. This shouldn't take any time at all to
do. See DOS MERGE 4.0 file in this directory for more information.
NOTE: After upgrading a persons version of Merge you may get a message
similar to this when booting up:
Warning: Not automatically creating DOS image files
This means that the system can't create the DOS image files in
'/usr/merge/image/std/vga'.
Go into 'startx' under root and try the following:
Merge Tools -> Merge Setup -> System Wide Merge Administration
1) Create DOS Images
2) Install DOS
DOS MERGE allows for 32 simultaneous sessions. You can increase or
decrease this limit by changing the MERGE_MAX_SESS kernel parameter.
WARNING: {device}: Cannot install intr vecno=#, type=#, IPL=#
vector # is private.
This message means that more than 1 device is trying to use this vector.
The interrupt is either already marked as private, or it is currently
marked as shared and the driver that is requesting it is requesting it for
private use.
Check the /etc/conf/cf.d/sdevice file to see what is using the vector.
If you still can find it try using 'crash' as outlined in article
ID482059.
To change way the function keys are used to switch between partitions.
Use SWITCHKEY. By changing the sequence you can get around the way
some DOS programs use ALT FN(n) to do things.
switchkey -ca /* you will have to do a CTRL ALT FN(n) to */
/* swithc out of a MERGE partition */
switchkey -a /* will change it back to normal */
NOTE: SWITCHKEY is set back to normal everytime you do a
shutdown.
After entering your password, this error message is displayed.
No utmp entry. You must log in from the lowest level -sh
One or more of the following files have been corrupted. These are
log files. So they can have a zero length without affecting the
system.

| /etc/wtmp |
| /etc/utmpx |
To fix enter into single user mode and type in the following.
cd /etc

touch utmpx
touch wtmp
If you have bad spots develope on a SCSI hard disk. You have to run
either 'scsibadtrk' or 'badtrk' depending on what version of SCO UNIX
you have.
scsibadblk /* Older Versions */
badtrk -s tn -r /* OpenServer 5 and Newer */
NOTE: You must be in "single user mode".
You can start a program directly under DOS MERGE by keying:
dos {name} /* where name is the name of the program ie:ticfs
You can start a program without executing the AUTOEXEC batch file:
dos +p{name} /* where name it name of the program ie: +pj.bat
NOTE: I the last cast the name must match exactly. If the name is in
lower case letters. You must key in lower case letters. It you keyed
in caps the system will not find the program.
NOTE: The program must be the current directory or you must speify the
full path. ie +p$HOME/j.bat

DOS MERGE if the person is having problems running programs.
Run a VERIFY on the MERGE to see if any programs are messed up.
Valley had a problem where some rating programs but not all would
lock up. I turns out that the file list below was damaged. The
permissions and size were correct, but the 'sum -r' was wrong.
/usr/lib/merge/bios.rom
Run '/usr/ias/bin/fixdos' to correct the permissions on the files.
/usr/ias/bin/fixdos jam /usr/merge/dosroot/erie
Manual method.
find {directory} -type f -exec chmod 666 {} \;
To install single files under OpenServer 5 use CUSTOMEXTRACT.
customextract -m /dev/cd0 {name of file}
NOTE: You will have to look up the name in SCOADMIN to get the
true path and name.
customextract -m /dev/cd0 ./var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.0Cl/usr/bin/lp
To set up a '/dev/u' file system under OpenServer5 take the INTERACTIVE
option durning hard disk initialization. The last thing it asks is
the size of the file system and what you want to call it.
MAXUP (the maximum number of processes per user) is system wide not by
terminal. So if the person has a lot of people logging in with the
same initials this number may have to be increased. If not you may
get messages saying the maximum number of processes is exceeded.
You can change the default printer class for a DOS MERGE user by
adding a line similar to the line below to their personal
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
printer lpt1 unix "lp -d99"
dir >lpt1 /* to test */
Root can print but users cannot print. May also generate 6201 error
when printing from IAS. You need to check the '/usr/bin/lp' file.
Either the permissions are wrong or the file is damaged. (ID 481605)
Check the premissions and if need be change the premissions.
NOTE: /usr/bin/lp is linked to /usr/bin/lpr
ie: chmod 2111 /usr/bin/lp
To restore the file use customextract under OpenServer and Sysadmsh
with older system.
customextract -m /dev/cd0 ./var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.0Cl/usr/bin/lp
NOTE: On OpenServer 5 the '/usr/spool/lp/temp/.SEQF' file doesn't
seemed to be reconstructed if removed. With out this file the
system will not print at all. You will have to manually
reconstruct it. I did the following, so it would match ours.
cd /usr/spool/lp/temp
vi .SEQF
The file should lool something like these: 1:999999:1:12341
NOTE: I had a case where they were printing though a NETWORK printer.
Which was attached to '/dev/null'. They could print under
'root' but not under the users. The permissions on '/dev/null'
were wrong. I did a 'chmod 666' on it and the users could then
print.
NOTE: I had one case under OpenServer 5 where nothing would print
through spooler but would if piped directly to the port. It
kept saying somthing like "UX:lp:ERROR Cannot execute print
options". I had to 'tic /usr/lib/terminfo/terminfo.src' to
get it to print.
OpenServer 5 does not use the '/etc/perms' files. They look in
'/opt' and '/var/opt' directories. I had to remove the 'iasv11.02'
from a customers machine in order to install 'iasv12.0'. I had to
remove the "iasv11.02" directories under the '/var/opt' directory.
rm -r /var/opt/K/misc/iasv11.02
rm -r /var/opt/P/misc/iasv11.02
also check
rm -r /opt/K/misc/iasv11.02
rm -r /opt/P/misc/iasv11.02
The "K" directory holds the perm file entries.
The "P" directory holds the product date base files.

We had a problem with nothing printing under OpenServer 3.2v5.0.4+. It
turned out that the following line in the '/usr/spool/lp/model/lj3.p'
file was causing the request id to be echoed twice. This caused nothing
to print. It has been fixed in the V12.00 model files, so run 'lpadmin'
to fix the problem. ie: lpadmin -plaser4 -mlj3.p
dest=`echo $request|sed "s/^\(.*\)-.*$/\1/p"`
You can also remove the "p" at the end of the line to solve the problem.
PANIC: exit cannot exec /etc/init (PID 1) status 9.
If you get this message while booting up under OpenServer 5 means that
either/both of the folling files are corrupted/missing. Use their
emergency BOOT & ROOT floppies or their original BOOT floppy to reinstall
the files. Bring the system up into single user mode and run
'scoadmin'.
/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.0Cl/usr/etc/init
symbolic link to /etc/init
ln -s /opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.0Cl/usr/etc/init /mnt/etc/init

NOTE: You may have to copy the files to both places to bring
the system up. Once you run 'scoadmin' it will complain about this
an recreate the symbolic links.
NOTE: You have to give the full path names for the line to work.
To disable the 'scologin' type in the following command.
scologin disable
If the colors under DOS MERGE 4.0 don't look right. Change the color
scheme to 'DOS primary colors' under 'srstartx'.
srstartx -> options -> preferneces editor -> color -> DOS Primary Colors
Check the '/usr/lib/grafinfo/grafdev' file to see what the resolution
the SunRiver terminals are set to.
The SUBST command under DOS MERGE is valid only for actual
directories.
AUTOEXEC.BAT
SUBST F: D:\USR\IAS\FDRIVE
To create a virtual drive for DOS MERGE.
/usr/lib/merge/mkvdisk -s /usr/ias/fdrive.dsk 10000
This will create a file called '/usr/ias/fdrive.dsk' that is 10 megs in
size.
dos +af:=/usr/ias/fdrive.dsk
On OpenServer systems you will need the BOOT diskette if the system
crashes. This disk takes the place of the old N1 and N2 diskettes.
At the Boot: type in "tools". Continue through the installation screens
until the following menu appears.
- Execute a shell on ramdisk filesystem
- Shut down the system
- Run IRQ to Start Initial System Load
Take option "1", this will drop you to an installation prompt.
BLTD for SCO OpenServer 5.
- Insert the SCO OpenServer Boot Disk (Volume: 1 of 1)
- At the Boot: prompt enter the string:
defbootstr ahslink="dptr5"
- The system will load the Unix kernel from the boot disk and then
prompt for the "dptraid installation floppy" (this disk is created
when running the DPT Manager for the initail system installation).
The system will copy the necessary object files from the floppy and
link them into the Unix kernel. A line similar to the following line
should appear on the boot hwconfig screen:
"%adapter type=dptr5 ha=0 id=7 Bus Master"
- From here on you go through the noraml SCO installation. At some
point you will be prompted to insert the "dptraid install disk" again.
All of the necessary files will be copied off the disk and stored in
memory. Near the end of the installation when the install script is
setting up the Link Kit for the currently installed hardware
configuration, you will be prompted to install the "dptraid driver"
into the Link Kit.
When the user attempts to log in, the file '/etc/group' is used to set
their group. If this file is corrupt or does not exist, system logins
are disabled.
- Verify that there are no blank lines in '/etc/group'. If the file
does not exist, or you are unable to notice any discrepancies,
shutdown the system and bring it back up in single user mode. Replace
'/etc/group' from backups or from your installation floppies.
Remove the file '/etc/auth/system/gr_id_map' it it exists. Run the
command:
/tcb/bin/authck -av
This will create a new '/etc/auth/system/gr_id_map' file. A user
attempting to log in will also create this file.
- Verify that there are no blank lines in '/etc/passwd'. If the file
does not exist, or you are unable to notice any discrepancies, shutdown
the system and bring it back up in single user mode. Replace
'/etc/passwd' from backups or from your installation floppies.
Remove the file '/etc/auth/system/pw_id_map' it it exists. Run the
command:
/tcb/bin/authck -av
This will create a new '/etc/auth/system/pw_id_map' file. A user
attempting to log in will also create this file.
To install MERGE 4.0.2 you will need the following:
- SCO Version 5.0.4c or higher
- Merge Certificate of License and Authenticity
- Merge 4.0.2
- Boundless 3.0.8 Drivers
- SCO OSS467A

NOTE: You may have to change the permissions for you can write
to the file.
*** Set up a mouse for each Boundless terminal. You may have to modify
'/usr/lib/event/devices' and '/use/lib/event/ttys' to put the mouse back
in for the main console. Adding the first Boundless mouse erases this
entry.
NOTE: Next time try setting up a mouse on COM2 first to see it will
retain an entry for the main console.
**** Add the following lines to the end of the file.
/* New Stubs */
int asy_is_assigned() { return 0; }
int asy_key_fordos() { return 0; }
int mrgGetMem() { return 1; }
