Hi everyone,

Thanks to the immense popularity of John's scsiinfo tool amongst the
Solaris community, I got lots of feedback and we now have a new modified
version that fixes the issues that were reported..

Download URL:
http://step.polymtl.ca/~coyote/scsiinfo-4.7.0.7.tar.gz

MD5 file:
http://step.polymtl.ca/~coyote/scsiinfo-4.7.0.7.tar.gz.md5

Inside the tarball, you'll find the available source + my diffs and two
Solaris 8 sparcv9 binaires (for use on Solaris 8 with a 64bit kernel):
scsiinfo-4.7 : Solaris 8 64 bit binary of scsiinfo 4.7 src.
scsiinfo-4.7.0.7 : Solaris 8 64 bit binary of scsiinfo 4.7 modified src.

Problems fixed:
- scsiinfo now probes SCSI devices on qus cards (Thanks Ric Anderson)
- scsiinfo now probes SCSI devices on qlc cards (wouldn't have been
able to find the trick without Ric)
- scsiinfo now compiles under gcc-3.2.x and Forte 6.x (Thanks to Chuck
Seeger for a better vargars/stdarg fix).
- A few other cleanups/bug fixes in qlc/qus..

Here's an example of 'scsiinfo -q -p' on that trusty V880 with 1*qus and
5*qlc:

bash-2.03# ./scsiinfo -q -p

Cheers and many thanks to all who helped, I'm sure John will be very
happy. :)

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars - on stars where no human race is
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places. - Robert Frost
