New Features in Version 4.1 Smart SubSets 15 The features described in this section have been added to the INTERACTIVE UNIX Operating System since Version 4.0. Within the three product bundles, INTERACTIVE UNIX System Version 4.1 subsets have been changed to better reflect the logical grouping of files. Some extraneous files have also been removed. The results will allow users to better tailor their installation, adding only the files they need and optimizing the use of disk space. For example, a complete operating system can now be loaded onto less than 20 MB of hard disk. Improved On-Line Documentation New Commands Man pages with multiple entries are now available under the name of each entry. For example, the str ing manual page contains entries for strcpy, strcat, and strncpy; now the command man strcat will find the correct manual page. The man pages are now supplied in two formats: preformatted (to be used with the man or xman command) and troff source. The troff files are on a separate subset on the User Manual Entries disks and are placed in /usr /man when installed (to save disk space, these files are not installed by default). Users familiar with the nroff and troff commands can format the troff source man pages for a particular printer. For that purpose, the troff and nroff programs and some related files are supplied as well. • cdrom This command allows mounting and unmounting of CO-ROMs at runtime by regular users, not just the superuser. • defread Designed for use in shell scripts, this command provides a consistent, simple interface to the /etc/default files and the settings (values) stored within.

(A boot-loadable driver is a driver loaded during the installation process.) The following controllers are now supported, using the mechanism outlined in the next section: Adaptec® AHA-174x SCSI EISA Adaptec AHA-274x SCSI EISA Adaptec AHA-284x VESA Local Bus NCR® 53C710 SCSI I/0 Controller NCR 53C810, 53C820, and 53C825 PCI SCSI controllers BusLogic SCSI UltraStor 14/24/34 SCSI Controller The aha 1740 and BusLogic controllers were already supported in previous versions of the product. However, it was necessary to first install the system in aha1540 compatibility mode, then later configure a kernel for native mode and switch the controller. Using the boot-loadable drivers, these systems can now be installed in native mode. The NCR 53C710 processor is the one found in most Compaq® ProSignia models.

Boot-Loadable Device Drivers<br />
The <strong>INTERACTIVE</strong> <strong>UNIX</strong> <strong>System</strong> Version 4.1 adds support for a number of<br />
additional disk controllers by providing drivers for each in "boot-loadable<br />
driver" form. (A boot-loadable driver is a driver loaded during the installation<br />
process.) The following controllers are now supported, using the mechanism<br />

The aha 1740 and BusLogic controllers were already supported in previous<br />
versions of the product. However, it was necessary to first install the system in<br />
aha1540 compatibility mode, then later configure a kernel for native mode<br />
and switch the controller. Using the boot-loadable drivers, these systems can<br />
now be installed in native mode.<br />
