There are a lot of people that aren't happy about this.  J This means that people also can't access older Mac's or Unix boxes runningI Netatalk.  I'm hoping that there are enough people that this is causing a K problem for that either Apple will put the feature back in, or someone will  release a 3rd party solution.   K I downloaded and have installed 'XonX' with XFree86 v4.0.3, and it seems to J work just fine to talk to a Solaris workstation (my OpenVMS server doesn'tJ have DECwindows installed, and I didn't have a chance to check the cablingK and turn on one of my OpenVMS Workstations).  If you try it, just make sure L you know the keystrokes to get back to Aqua.  I'll probably use XonX until aA native version of 'eXodus' is released, and then upgrade to that.   L By running X-Windows I should be able to remap an Xterm to have the keyboardF correctly mapped for VMS, but I'd still like to find a good native OSX terminal program.   K So, now my only real problem remaining is accessing the Appletalk shares on K my VMS box (I still can't get that to work via NFS).  I'm starting to think H that the problem with accessing the OpenVMS box via NFS might be how theL braindead OSX box is ID'ing itself.  I just telnet'd to it, and it says it'sI 'localhost', instead of 'odin'.  I'm now trying to figure out how to make I sure it's hostname is set to 'odin' when I reboot.  Why, oh why, did they 5 have to keep NeXTsteps networking configuration mess!   E BTW, anyone trying to get OSX working will probably want to do a 'man I niload' so you can figure out how to load your own /etc/hosts if you need  to.    			Zane    ------------------------------  # Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 01:44:12 GMT ( From: "Mrvax" <mr.nospamvax@hotmail.com>" Subject: Alpha 4000/4100 memory FS8 Message-ID: <Mlbw6.898$zK6.174717@typhoon.austin.rr.com>  L I have the following memory sitting in surpluss and will consider selling ifK any interest: All server were upgraded to 4GB so we don't need them anymore J all are working.

The performance penalty during merges isF mostly due to the type of I/Os done on unmerged sections of disks, notG the I/O from the merge itself.
