This is A-Few-Questions... in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 30-Jun-1989 06:07:47 From: Unknown Subject: A Few Questions... Since we just received our Next at work last Friday afternoon, I have a few elementary questions. Please reply via email as I'm sure most of this newsgroup has no interest in the answers.... 1) In /usr/adm/messages, I see a lot of unable to open /dev/tty messages. What's causing this, and what can I do about it ? 2) Can someone point me to a port of Kermit, as I have the file-transfer bootstraping problem -- the machine is not networked, so it looks like I'm going to have to bring in uuencoded stuff with tip...which doesn't seem quite able to keep up with 2400 baud in a Terminal window.... 3) Will there be a combined Terminal/Shell, ala xterm sometime ? I note that Apollo also got this wrong... 4) I'm trying to display some scrolling text in a panel. The obvious (to me) approach didn't quite work. I got the text up, but no scrollbar. I'm trying to put a Text-class object into a ScrollView, and make that the ContentView of the panel. Can someone provide some hints ? 5) This is really silly, but: I can't get the workspace manager's autolaunch on login feature working on my account, it works fine on the me account Next provides...I haven't checked whether or not it will work for root. What, if anything, do I need to do to get this working ? 6) Is there a Mach book around the level of _The Design and Implementation of 4.3 BSD Unix_, (Karels, McKusick, et al.) Or even, where can I order mach manuals from ? 7) Why did lint go away ? Well, I'm posting from home, and that's all I can remember. Please don't waste net.bandwidth on these....

It's the Workspace talking to itself, I think; no need to worry about it. >4) I'm trying to display some scrolling text in a panel. The obvious (to me) >approach didn't quite work.

This is most easily done by using one of the ScrollingText objects from Interface Builder. Make it the outlet of some object, and, on initialization of that outlet, you can set the text in the ScrollView with a simple: [[anObject docView] setText:"Hello World."]; Or, you can use readText:, or, even better yet, readRichText:. In some cases you might have to recalculate the frame of the Text object with a call to getMinWidth:...; see the ScrollingText class in the Yap sources on how to do this. >7) Why did lint go away ? With an ANSI compiler, you probably won't need it. Ali Ozer, NeXT Developer Support aozer@NeXT.com >From: woo@pioneer.arc.nasa.gov (Alex Woo)

It is stated in the documentation that NeXT will make their mods to the GNU C compiler available. Has anyone posted these to one of the repositories? 3. Has anyone built GNU g++ or libg++?
