Yes we do.  {Ice}<Lisp> and <Lispusers> both have write permission to Lispcore^.pa.  Thanks.'

I have just started a brownie run to update {ice}<lispusers>, <lisp>library>, and some of the <lisp>current> files from ERIS.  I am not transferring site-specific files, such as INIT.CIS and InstallFull.othello, assuming that you will want to modify these to refer to local file servers.'

It seems that someone turned off my machine during the weekend, so that the brownie run didn''t complete successfully.'
'
However, after chatting to ice, it seems that most of the files were transferred sucessfully.  I used the following brownie script':'
'
[verbose]'
// copyCarol'
copy/ua [ice]<lisp>library> _ [eris]<lisp>library>*'
copy/ua [ice]<lispusers> _ [eris]<lispusers>*'
'
copy/ua [ice]<lisp>current> _ [eris]<lisp>current>*.sysout'
'
copy/ua [ice]<lisp>current> _ [eris]<lisp>current>Lisp.run'
'
copy/ua [ice]<lisp>current> _ [eris]<lisp>current>*.eb'
'
copy/ua [ice]<lisp>current> _ [eris]<lisp>current>LispSAx000Initial.db'
'
'
It looks like the library and lispusers updates went OK, and all of the sysouts, except for DEMO.SYSOUT (it only has ~800 pages!).  I will redo the transfers on the last three lines.  If you want the new DEMO.SYSOUT, you can transfer it yourself.'

I will update your directories if you could':'
'
(1)  Give LispCore^.pa read/write/append/create/connect permission on the directories [ivan]<lisp> and [ivan]<lispusers>, so I can put files there.'
'
(2)  Increase the allocations of these directories, so I have room to put new versions of all of these files.'
'
(3)  Tell me whether you want the <lisp>library> files updated.  You do not seem to have any files on [ivan]<lisp>library>.  Do you want to have these files around?  Where?'
'
I await your response...'

Thanks.  We can probably live without the DEMO.SYSOUT (I don''t know if anyone around here would need it).'

In order to update [ivan]<lisp>current> and copy the <lisp>library> files, I need about 10,000 free pages.  Currently, there are about 1000 free pages in this directory.  I could update [ivan]<lispusers>, but I would prefer to do this all in one chunk.'

Is it really that tough to get disk space?'
