(Disktab entry by Roland Schwingel of 1Vision, Germany ---> Thanx a-gain Roland :-) Now here comes the problem, which does not have anything to do with the 2 OSs on this machine. 1. Situation Our SS20 is exporting its home directory (in read-only), because we have a very-nice 2nd-generation CAD-prg (BAUPLAN 2.3) which runs under Solaris 1.1.1B-Europe-format) and produces the mass-data output from house-planning and construction to send out inquires to 3rd parties who will make their offers. (The CAD-following app is called an AVA-system which unfortunately runs under DOS on SoftPC 4.0 w/ NEXTSTEP 3.3 on a P90). This SS20-home directory is used on the net to get the data on to the P90 to get it processed under DOS/SoftPC. 2. Problem We do have a pure NetInfo-Network with a couple of NeXT clients and a NeXTcube as a server. And here is the problem: When I boot the SparcStation in NEXTSTEPmode, the NetInfo-Cubeserver does not recognize the SS20 as a new NEXTSTEP-Computer , probably asks for the Solaris-/home-directory (which is defined as read only(so that the unknowing NEXTSTEP-user on the Net cannot destroy any CAD-data on the Sparc by accident) and therefore does not give any /LocalApps /LocalLibrary exports mounts to the SS20. (At first this problem shows up that the Cubeserver does not provide a "naming service"? to the SS20. The machine shows the following lines: --- Configuration server not responding to request for hostname Do nothing to keep waiting or press "c" to continue --- I certainly do not want to wait until the end of time........ ;-) So ANY help or the SMALLEST hint is appreciated A LOT! ---- > I will summarize on the NET(Hoping I will get a soloution ;-) Thanx in advance + Greetings to all of you!! --- ..

Forgot all about that, that's nearly what I want. But, why is it Finder always wants me to drag the current directory to Finder? Having a shelf in Finder is useful, but it's an addon rather than the main deal shurely. Most the the time you want to search multilevel from the current directory onwards.

Put an fixed icon on the shelf for the current directory, and I'm happy. -- __ _____ /// NeXT for work,Amiga for fun,NeXTMail loved,IRC:BucketHed| N e |\ __ /// 3DO/SNES/Jaguar/Pepsi/John Peel addict | X T | | \\\/// Now playing: 3DO GEX |_____| | \XX/ Current project: NeXT OffRoad olr: ######oooo \_____\|

The Line In on the SB16 DOES NOT work under NeXTSTEP. You can only use the internal audio connection.

NEXTIME has a hard time dealing with some QuickTime files, and will not open all of them. Any compression for which it does not have a decompressor it will not open (and it also won't open .AVI files even though it exports an icon for them). It also has big problems handling combination compression files (it only plays the first segment that uses the same compression).

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada.

Date: 2 Jul 1995 21:27:23 GMT Organization: Organizing Organisms & Organs Distribution: world Message-ID: <3t72vr$mn8@ill.msilink.com> After dealing with BSD's termcap's out-of-date limits for far too long, I'm curious if NS4 will have terminfo instead of termcap. I find terminfo to be far more capable & complete than termcap (even GNU's termcap which, while better than BSD 4.3's termcap, does not measure up to terminfo). It's worth noting that BSD will move to terminfo eventually; the new moderator for the BSD termcap file has made mention of this in comp.terminals in the past. I'm uncertain when the move will take place.

You can find the demo at ftp.cs.orst.edu and ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de. The corrupt version on ftp.cs.orst.edu has been replaced with one dated 30 June. Please be patient, communications from Lietuva can be difficult. 2. If you try the NutNews demo, don't use NutNews.preferences. It fails for some unknown reason. An interesting experiment, but perhaps it will be moved back into NutNews.app. 3. Quitting NutNews. In the July95 release a slight implementation bug prohibits quitting before all the active threads are completed. 4. Two people have mentioned that their .newsrc file was destroyed by NutNews.app. NutNews.app makes a copy named .newsrcOLD in the same directory as the .newsrc file, should this occur. The likely cause is quitting before all active threads are completed. 5. Startup is slow. Well, NutNews.app *is* multi-threaded. If the /tmp/news.<username> directory and files are not deleted, subsequent use of NutNews.app will be significantly faster. 6. Can the multi-threaded feature be turned off? Not in the July 95 version. Or, best not to use another networking app while NutNews is fetching articles, because with multi-threading, NutNews always has a request ready for the NNTP server, best to read news!

Which ones don't? I've used _many_ Windows apps that don't have these keys "builtin" to all text fields. Most of them (in fact) only work within document windows. The best example I have is Quicken -- which requires "SHIFT-DELETE" to cut something, and "SHIFT-INSERT" to paste. Plus, I can't cut-paste across most apps in Windows... If I cut in one app, there is little guarantee that I can paste in another. : Listing WPWIN and specifying that you ave to be using the 5.1 keybindings : is not an acceptable answer. Actually, I more referring to "forms" based stuff. Where you are presented with a one-line text field, and you can't cut/paste into or out of it.

What other cards have other people > try..... The NE2000 is a brain dead card for any multitasking OS... the CPU/OS has to do too much hand holding of it resulting in much higher CPU utilization than cards with a more intelligent interface. NEXTSTEP's device handling doesn't seem to handle PC oriented architectures as well as other PC multitasking OS's. NEXTSTEP seems to have a very workstation oriented design, with good reason. For NEXTSTEP, a PCI ethernet card based on the DEC 21040 (see http://www.next.com/NeXTanswers/HTMLFiles/1856.htmld/1856.html) can be bought for $140-175. It supports PCI DMA transfers with a large on-card memory buffer for those large ftp or NFS tranfers. If you only have ISA, then an Intel 82595 based card (Intel EtherExpress PRO or Cogent EM525) is the next best thing. 64k of on board memory that's memory mapped. This card is $90-$120. Finally, there's the Intel EtherExpress 16 (16k memory mapped buffer) that has been the workhorse. Plus, new drivers for the SMC Elite 16 and cousins have just been released. I don't know how well those cards work, but most likely similar to the EtherExpress 16. Avoid the 3Com EtherLink III. With only a 2k on-board buffer, it gets swamped really quick. Under DOS, where the program is usually spinning there waiting for the card, this is not big deal. The CPU isn't doing anything else anyways. The card isn't even cheap compared to the competition. In the end, is it worth saving $20-70 for a card that performs much worse, especially on $3-7k machine? Probably not. You make the call. -- Bill Chin - chin@clark.net - NeXTmail welcomed

Which ones don't? Actually _most_ apps don't support cut/paste between random text fields. Only the main document windows seem to think this is a worthwhile feature. Specific apps that seem to have problems with this command-key combination include: "Quicken (at least version 2.0)", and "Power Tools For Windows". Quicken uses: "Shift-Delete" to cut, and "Shift-Insert" to paste. I also don't seem to be able to cut/copy between quicken and other apps. The PIF editor also has this problem (but it may be due to using text fields instead of some sort of document context)... I can't cut/paste from PIF editor into any other apps. Likewise, I can't cut/paste from another app into PIF editor. I also have some cut/paste copy problems on Improv (for windows). But no sense whining about those now (since it is no longer supported)... Would you like some more examples? : Listing WPWIN and specifying that you ave to be using the 5.1 keybindings : is not an acceptable answer. I don't even know what "WPWIN" is... (WordPerfect?

I don't believe NS supports the : modem with speed exceeding 19200. Please change to 19200 and try again. : P.S. where you got ppp2.2 package for NextStep for Intel machine? NEXTSTEP will support speeds of up-to 57.6Kbps on black hardware, but it is really only reliable at speeds up to 38.4Kbps. There is a third party package called "TTYDSP" which will allow you to use your DSP port as a high-speed serial device. I think it will support speeds up-to 57.6Kbps _reliably_. On Intel hardware, the shipping serial driver is defective. It will not support most serial devices at speeds over 9600bps. However, there are 2 _good_ options: 1) MUX Driver -- which will support speeds up to 57.6kbps without problems; and 2) the _new_ NEXTSTEP 3.3 Serial driver (et. al.) -- which I haven't tried yet (not at 3.3), but most scuttle-butt says it works _great_ at 57.6Kbps. Most of the above can be FTPed from one of the archive sites.

Under the presumption that you weren't just talking out of your ass, which apparently you were, I just spent ten minutes reinstalling Windows 3.1. Lo and behond, control-x, control-C and control-V all work just dandy in PifEdit. Copying and pasting from the MSDOS prompt? Works fine. From Write? Works fine. Copying from PifEdit and pasting to the progman? Works fine. Oops. What a surprise, a NeXTSTEP user that slams another platform and makes all sorts of insinuations about "things that don't work" yet doesn't even test the example he gives.

Yet utterly fail to realize, possibly because you didn't read the original message I posted in this thread, that *yes* you *can* cut and paste in PifEdit. I just reinstalled Windows 3.1 to test it, and yes, it works just fine. Here, let Daddy show you how. Highlight the text in question (hint: you can do this from the keyboard with shift-arrow or shift-control-arrow or shift-end or shift-home). Hold doen the key labeled "ctrl" with one finger and press the one labeled "X" with the other. Whoa, the text disappeared. Now try pressing the "ctrl" key with one finger and the "v" key with the other. Wow, new text! Is that clear enough? So, did you read the pifedit example used by the previous poster and naively assume that a NeXTSTEP knew Windows from his ass, or did you, too, post an example that you didn't test in an apparent attempt to illustrate that you know absolutely nothing about Windows? Your choice. >Would you like some more examples? Yes, let's hear them. Why don't you *test* them this time.

Might it be that terminal windows are special? Well, this was meant as a real question. How do I cut with CTRL-X in a Terminal Window when CTRL-X is supposed to send CTRL-X out. So, the only possibility which appears to me is that you can't cut a text from a Terminal window using CTRL-X - you need a different key shortcut. This is bad IMHO. Maybe that's why the new MS natural keyboard has those Windows96 keys.... NeXTSTEP uses CMD-X to cut.

R S Rodgers is an example of someone with apparently so little to do in his life that, despite hating NS, Steve Jobs, who knows what, he's spent years lurking in c.s.n.* making few, if any, positive contributions. He surfaces periodically to name-call, deliver missives from his lofty position on high, above the rest of us peons, and to do whatever he can to denigrate NS whenever possible.

It work smoothly and without problems. When I tried out the Fonts on the NeXT, I found out that all the special characters like copyright signs, accented characters etc were in the wrong place. Because my native language is German, that's quite bad: I don't get the dieresis characters I need for writing. It was not hard to find out that the encoding vector of the fonts was wrong: it was set to mac encoding. So I made some conversions with fontographer (mac) and standard adobe conversion. I checked the font files I produced and they appeared to be in the correct Standard Adobe encoding (at least the afm file, which is plain ASCII). But surprise! As I installed the fonts on the next, the same ugly characters as before appeard for all special accented characters I used. I know this is a strong one... Has anyone made the same experience? Can anyone help? By the way: Original Adobe Fonts worked fine after conversion with metamorphis... Thanks in advance Chris

Based on language in contracts I have signed in the past, my guess would be that the source code rights reverted to NeXT when AppSoft went out of business. That's usually how such things are done. As someone else pointed out, WN was written almost entirely in m68k assembly language, and there are significant issues of endian-ness and storage structure packing on m68k vs. other hardware. (m68k allows tighter packing of different element types.) Fattening WN would be extremely tough. In fact, just porting the RTF converter to other architectures was no easy task, due to the structure packing problems. Even AppSoft recognized that, which is why they were trying to build an entirely new product (AppSoft Write) at the time they left the market. -- Gregory H.

Actually, I'm somehow not quite so enthusiastic about it now, although I'd still be willing to do some really terrible things to get WriteNow back. I wonder what T/Maker's planning to do with it; i.e., whether they're planning to do a port to PowerMac (and rewrite the whole thing) or just let it quietly die. If they're planning on doing a port then it'd obviously be a little easier to do it off that. Anyone have a WriteNow box with a phone number on the side? obviously a little compulsive, Dave

There is currently no way to convert a MultipleMaster font for use under NS. Unfortunately, this would be best supported at the OS level. That means that NeXT would have to do the job. I wouldn't hold my breath, since they don't give a rat's ass about publishing. At one point, I spoke to someone from GS Corporation about this and they said that they were looking into this with NeXT. That was last year.

However, there is no support at the higher levels of the system. For instance, the font panel does not allow you to instantiate a particular blend of a multiple master font. Another issue that often arises in this discussion is font fauxing or font substitution. This technique uses Multiple Master fonts along with a description of a target font (metrics, and some other info) to provide a good looking substitute for the target font. For example, your document might call for font FooBar which you do not have installed on your machine. Instead of failing or substituting Courier, font fauxing instantiates a blend of a Multiple Master font that matches the metrics and other features of FooBar. The Multiple Master support necessary for font fauxing is present in NEXTSTEP. Joe Pasqua Adobe Systems Incorporated

I had asked why a shell script that works fine from the command line cannot open the DSP when executed by "at". No one respondent got the exact answer I needed, but piecing the information together made it pretty clear. Actually, pretty clear that it wasn't exactly the brightest question.... Anyway, it was essentially just a question of permissions, apparently "at" jobs executed by a user do not have the same access privileges as that user himself at the console. I had neglected to turn on public sound server in my Preferences. Doing so allowed at to run the job properly. Also, running the at job as root works, even though it was me logged in at the console and PWS was turned off. I did not try it yet, but I'm sure that running an suid root version of the script would also work fine. So the only question I'm left with is, is it a greater security risk to have an suid script floating around, or to have PWS turned on? Given that this is a home NeXTstation linked only by PPP on occasions, I prefer the latter. Thanks also to folks who suggested running a cron job, etc. but the whole point of this was to have a simple command I could type on those *rare* occasions when I want to get up early in the morning :) A cron job would be definite overkill.

No patterns for window backgrounds - windows are for presenting information, not obscuring it. And the scrollbar is just where it belongs. (Well, actually it's a localization issue - for right-to-left languages it should be on the right. Not sure how you would configure that, because I don't think you want two apps with differing scrollbar placement though you might have two apps using different languages. Maybe the environment goes by your "primary" language or something.) And I strongly feel that NeXTstep is aesthetically beautiful.

Someone set it up before I arrived, with a Parabase front end, but due to problems with it it was never used. The Parabase front end seems to be fine -- and only a week ago was able to access the database. It doesn't work now though. There were always apparently problems with the database refusing to accept more records, stating that the memory (or file??) was full. This was rubbish, as there weren't many records in it at all. This week I upgraded to NS3.2, as well as to Parabase 2.1 (from 1.x), and trying to access the database gives "server down. The database server you are trying to access is not available at this time. The server may not be running". According to ps -aux, the server is indeed running as it should be. Also, I can log into it with isql, giving name and password as normal. That's as far as I know how to go. Trying to open the raw database file in SYBASE Administrator tells me "There is no entry in the server list corresponding to that device. Cannot start server". Does anyone out there know what the situation is here? If anyone can take the time to walk me thru a few basic steps I would be most grateful as I don't profess to know much about databases. I've read as much documentation as I can get my hands on (doesn't include any official SYBASE manuals though) but none addresses my problem.

I agree with the first two points. However, TAB is already used to page the cursor to the next field, so if you want to use TAB for completion, you'll have to pick something different for field paging.

If these were stripped from X-windows, and replaced with an elegant definition of window types (as provided by NeXTSTEP) then I wouldn't HATE X-Windows nearly as much as I do. Because of these options, I've actually seen commercial software packages that were (nearly) impossible to use on the same machine (because one actually REQUIRED that a user set their preference to "Click to Focus" and the other REQUIRED the opposite! Furthermore, important warning messages that require user action often pop up in the BACKGROUND under X-Windows. This leads to support calls: "My terminal is stuck." Yuck. Now, one can argue that this is due to bad progamming (which might include bugs in a beta release of CDE, if I were using that) but it is also due to a UI that WAS NOT DESIGNED, Xwindows just kind of happened. In contrast, NeXTSTEP acquired its reputation as high-quality software because someone THOUGHT about the implications of these types of design-decisions. If there is a god, then this will never, ever, become a user option under NeXTSTEP. jacobson wrote: >Two features that I use heavily on my X windows terminals is the >auto-focus (the active window is the window where the cursor is pointing, >and I don't need to click to change, just move the mouse) and the fact that >I can tell the window manager NOT to automatically raise the active window.

If I may point out, the problem isn't so much focus-follows-pointer or autoraising per se, but specifically X's mis-design of window typing (or perhaps bad window manager implementations...) An "elegant definition of window types" such as NeXTSTEP provides would precisely avoid the problems you cite, even under non-autoraise or pointer focus conditions. The real problem is simple screen flashing, since NeXTSTEP apps are often designed (correctly, IMHO) to have any subsidiary informational windows disappear when the app is no longer the active one, thus nicely cleaning the workspace of information that is deemed no longer important to the user. How would you like to be moving your cursor to one of those subsidiary windows, only to have it disappear because your cursor passes through an Edit window on the way there? >Because of these options, I've actually seen commercial software >packages that were (nearly) impossible to use on the same machine >(because one actually REQUIRED that a user set their preference to >"Click to Focus" and the other REQUIRED the opposite! Geez. How on earth would you *write* software that required a particular pointer model? >Furthermore, important warning messages that require user action >often pop up in the BACKGROUND under X-Windows. This leads to >support calls: "My terminal is stuck." Yuck. This is of course fixed with an intelligent window type definition, such as NeXT's tiers. An NSFloatingWindowLevel window just naturally appears above *any* NSNormalWindowLevel windows. No more missing warning messages. >If there is a god, then this will never, ever, become a user option >under NeXTSTEP. A very strong statement, but I think that in the long run, it may serve only to prove that there is no god. ;-) What's going to happen under OpenStep, when OpenStep apps are used with an X window manager configured this way? I'm sure that Sun and others have already thought about this problem, of course, and will be working on a solution which *doesn't* force the user to radically change his/her behavior. Once that solution is made workable, it may just be a matter of time before OpenStep users start asking that that feature be installed in NeXTSTEP as well. Stephen Peters

I cannot get my internal Gateway/2000 FAX modem to work. I have retrieved the latest serial drivers from NeXT and successfully installed them. However, if I tip dial1200 xxxyyyy I hear the dial, hear the ring, hear the search for matchup, get a "connect" and then nothing. If I tip a9600 (or cufa9600 or any similar from the std etc/remote) then I get less than nothing! No modem directives work, ATDT, ATH, etc. When I boot DOS/Windows I can dial out just fine, as I have done just now to enter this sad note! What *am* I doing wrong? or what can I do to get more information? What else should I try? I am not a whiz at all with unix, so explicit directions would be appreciated. advaTHANKSnce, carl jones

It's a CLI app, but it too comes with source code (if that really means anything to you) and it compiles easily on NEXTSTEP: slrn (ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slrn) You'll need both the slrn and slang source code (compile slang first). Slrn isn't finished yet, but it's quite nice (if you like newsreaders with a UI like GNUS; although the name suggests otherwise, it's not in the rn family of newsreaders) and it shows threads a lot better than any NS GUI newsreader I've ever seen (i.e., it deals with real threads--not subject header sorting or something that only approximates threads). Run it in a good vt100 (or better) emulator, like Stuart.app or (better yet) Cables.app to see the line graphics (I don't remember if Terminal.app supports them in 3.2, and I have no idea if it does in 3.3). From what I've seen, I haven't seen any NS GUI newsreader that is as capable as most CLI selections and slrn is easy-to-use as well.

It connects and works anyway, but the interractive >speed for any network activity is *AWFUL!*. As the error states, that speed is invalid and thus the system is probably falling back to a known reliable speed, like 9600 or 2400bps. Try setting it to the highest legal and reliable speed (for black hardware), 38400, and you should see some improvement. 57600 is available on black hardware, but unreliable and considering how many overrun errors you'll get, you'll go faster at 38400. If you're running it on non-black hardware, give 57600 a try.

The important thing is the SCSI device number of the CD-ROM drive. Make it lower than the hard-disk's SCSI number and the system will boot from CD-ROM.

It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

Well it started doing that to me and then it wouldn't last even 10 minutes. So I switched to Alexandra until the NetSurfer people have their newsreader. But I have been trying a zillion readers, browsers, mailers, etc...on both the Mac and the PC. It seems to me the communucations' capabilities of NEXTSTEP were taken completely by surprise by the popularity of surfing the information highway, and at this point we are a bit behind.

Well, on the other hand, XFree86 source is included in the X distribution, and this includes drivers for nearly every graphics card you can think of. And XFree86 is portable across a wide range of Intel based Unixes. Why shouldn't it be possible to get it up with NEXTSTEP as base OS ?

So I wanted to clarify a couple of things.. I didn't write the patch, although I can't remember the name of the person who posted it a few weeks back. I've been running this patch for several weeks now, and it seems quite stable. The patch alters the behaviour as far as what message headers are automatically retrieved from the server.

Frame v3.2 is the latest for NS. Since that version came years late, I wouldn't hold my breath on ever seeing any other more advanced version of Frame for NS until the NS userbase grows considerably (which, considering the users Frame caters to, will probably be never). >I have been considering the purchase of serious DTP software for a >while now, and Frame has been the frontrunner. I wonder if I should >reconsider. Although it's often expensive to do so, I suggest reconsidering your platform. NS has what it takes to be a great DTP platform programming-wise, but there are more other concerns that make NS a really bad choice for serious DTP. Other platforms have tools that make the existance of bundled PS Level 2 & TIFF support (among other things) not a big deal anymore (if they ever were that big a deal to begin with). I thought NS DTP would take off too, it's one of the reasons I bought black hardware. I based my decision in part on what I saw back around when Jobs did an interview in Publish magazine, for whatever reason, nothing worthwhile followed. Unless you're interested in providing your own support by coding your own apps, which I gather you're not since you're considering purchasing software (which is typical of most DTP & word processing users, including myself), I think you'll find that the NS word processing and DTP software has a long way to go before it can compete with what standards and software packages are in widespread use on the Mac and Windows. If you don't mind waiting and seeing, you might want to wait and see what the reviews for OpenStep-compliant DTP and word processing apps look like. I'm not 100% sure they'll get covered in Windows magazines, but if they do I think you'll find that they're not that impressive considering the total cost and what the native competition provides. Windows DTP isn't the best out there, but you're not going to find steady support for FrameMaker on NS either. I believe unless there are some major steps forward to make NS software compete with things like Quark, FrameMaker 4 and above [2], Photoshop, Fontographer and others, I think you'll find that OpenStep/WindowsNT and OpenStep/Windows95 won't be as attractive for publishing as it could have been. Good luck to you though. [1] Check comp.text.frame-related FAQs including the buglist and if you would like, I can e-mail you a copy of my own Frame for NS buglist. [2] This app has gotten worse as time goes on. Even for fully-supported platforms, the last major upgrade is not that noteworthy. I hope things improve under Adobe's handling. Again, check comp.text.frame to get an idea of the kinds of things these Frame users want and ask how long they've wanted it.

The only other thing I would go for are, page up/down scroll buttons next to the > regular scroll buttons. But, darn it, I must be able to ZOOM :) > I believe I'm still misunderstood a little bit, and I really like to clear these things up. First let's define some things for clearity. There is the scrollbar containing the scroller. For clearity I'll say scroller when I'm speaking of this nice little 3D-bar with the knob in the middle which changes it's size according to the scrolling area; I'll say scrollbar (which isn't very correct) when mentioning the dark gray area _around_ the scroller with the know. So scrollbar excludes the scroller. Ok. - Zooming to the spot is performed by clicking on the scroller and moving to the desired position. In addition one can press the control key to slow down the procedure. - Additionally one can today click on the scrollbar to zoom to a position too! - The only possibility today, to go by pages, is to use the arrow keys in conjunction with the keyboard. Now there are some inconviniences here which were already discovered by other applications: - you _have_ to use the keyboard to scroll by pages: therefore some Apps introduced by pages buttons connected to the whole scrollbar below the arrow buttons. - you can't use the keyboard alone to scroll by pages: therefore some Apps introduced keyboard shortcuts to do this. This is a nice approach and shows up two things: there is a need for this, and there are solutions, and to force the use of the mouse in conjunction with the keyboard causes inconvinience!!! I for myself would like to see the following changes: - don't change the behaviour of the scroller! - clicks on the scrollbar over the scroller performs a page up, clicks on the scrollbar below the scroller performs a page down. This ist much easier to do then clicking on a small pageup/down button - btw, add more functionality to the right mouse button for those 'power users' who like to have a slowed down scrolling. Eg. pressing both buttons slows down scrolling. Now, i really can't see, why you would feel inconvinient! Remember that you still can use the scroller like you are used to, there is only the required 'scroll-by-pages' feature already implemented, which you wouldn't use at all, because _you_ always like to click on the scroller :) (And moving the scroller doesn't result in scrolling by pages! It's still a smooth scrolling! Only one click below/over the scroller would perform a page wide scrolling) Best regards, Boerny. -- Bernhard Scholz (IRC: Boerny) Look at http://www.leo.org/archiv/NeXT/ scholz@informatik.tu-muenchen.de, scholz@c86501.rm.op.dlr.de 'X is what it was designed for --- to open multiple terminal windows.'

Something would have to change. Actually, NeXT chose "Command-space" for filename completion, but made ESC a secondary equivalent (I would guess that they were trying to match csh behavior there). As for "Cancel," the ui guidelines say that "Command-. (period) should let users abort the current operation in the active application. Although the Application Kit has code to support Command., it isn't automatic. An application must ask for this functionality." To me, this should include "Cancel" in alert panels, etc, but NeXT hasn't done that. (Or if they have, certainly not everywhere.) These things are documented in the ui guidelines under "Special Command-Key Combinations." The ui guidelines also specify keyboard commands for paging, and for changing the current text selection, but the Text object doesn't implement these, so few apps do. -- andrew.abernathy@mccaw.com (Seattle area) 14335 Northeast 24th Street Bellevue, WA 98007 (NeXTmail / MIME / MS Mail spoken here) I don't speak for McCaw.

We have several command line based programs which convert and quantize NEXTSTEP TIFFS with alpha into GIF images with transparent backgrounds.

Since the TeX package under NS 3.0 contains all what is needed (the corresponding *.sty, *.tfm and *.vf files included), I thought it would be easy. Even though LaTeX, TeXview and dvips don't complain if I include those style options in a latex file, the produced output looks pretty strange, i.e., it consists -- for those styles -- of some "courier font" with rather strange spacing between the chars. Strangely enough, if I use the times style everything is ok. I already have checked all possible configuration parameters, but they appear to be ok (according to the documentation). It seems to me that either - for some unknown reason LaTeX has a problem finding the corresponding *.tfm, *.vf files and thus uses as default some courier font, or - the *.tfm, *.vf are really messed up. So here are my questions: - Is this some known problem? - Has anybody encountered this problem too, and resolved it?

Well, IP multicast is supported in v3.3, and the early version of mrouted (whose release number I don't have handy) seems to compile okay (but I haven't tried using it yet). I will be posting a small multicast client and server either today or tomorrow, and these will probably help you do whichever tweeks are necessary to use either version of mrouted.

It seems to me that we have the answer staring us in the face. All it might take would be to convince NeXT to persuade TCI to port Scientific Workplace, or at least the frontend to NS (they will be doing a Unix port, probably under X I suppose). Scientific Word/Workplace would give us a complete frontend to both TeX and Maple (both of which are being kept up to date). I honestly think that the answer to modern scientific, and business typing which is finally starting to use tools beyond the high school level, is TeX (but hidden away:) ).

Hmm. PixelMagician can do some of that, but not all of that. I don't think it does anything with changing colors, for instance. I prefer TIFFany II for doing anything major with TIFFs. That might be overkill for what you want to do, but it's a pretty impressive program if you want to do higher-end image manipulation. Did you check out IconBuilder.app in /NextDeveloper/Apps? (or does that only get installed with NS-Developer?). That *might* be able to do some of the things you want, but I don't really use it much so I don't know just want it does.

That is not what I meant, although that also happens sometimes. Ex. A consultant comes down for 4 days, do I really need to make an account for him/her or just let them use the guest account? I do agree that forcing users to share accounts in general is a bad idea. But beyond that and what I really meant but didn't say clearly enough was, that users are constantly going to each others machines to help one another out. They don't bother logging out of a friend's machine that has 20 programs launched with 100 source files opened and arranged just the way they like it, when the problem is regarding some source code in a particular file that is already available on the screen, I would just grab his/her mouse and try to show the solution. But since I'm using his environment, I will likely run into problems if s/he heavily modified the work environment. This kind of thing goes on ALL the time. Furthermore, as Garance Drosehn, pointed out in an earlier post, it creates more problems for the admin when things go wrong, because things are not working in a consistent way. And even more difficult if the admin now has to fix a problem on the account in question, but operating that account may be near impossible if it is heavily customized. And it makes things more difficult if a user needs help/guidance in figuring out how to work something, when his/her environment prevents the admin from giving accurate instructions. Lack of consistency, I believe, makes many more problems than the 'gain' of having purple menu bars. >Oh, it does! If you enable the right mouse button for menu action, >you loose the possibility to (oh, I don't remember the correct >word) 'cut off' submenus and place them on the screen, _if_ you >changed the default position of the menus to be invisible. (BTW >I think this is the general setting for right mouse button enabled) No it doesn't. I'm using the pop-mouse menu right now, and it doesn't prevent me from going to the main static menu up in the upper left hand corner and 'tearing off' and placing a submenu anywhere I want. That _appears_ to happen only if you hide the main menu. But it doesn't really change things. I mean, I can hide the entire FileViewer, that too would confuse users; but it wouldn't mean I cant put things on the shelf, you still can do it, you just have to not hide the elements. Obviosly, I'm not a fan of hiding major UI components :) Now, it is true that I cannot tear off a menu from the pop-up menu, but the pop-up is an added feature, it doesn't change existing behavior, so if someone came to my machine and wanted to tear of a menu in the traditional way, they would still be able to do it. > Hey, you are right. I didn't mention this point. But remember > that there ar GUI-Guidelines which even today not much apps do > concern about. This is mostly a problem of quality ensurance. You may be wrong or right, I will not comment, but I will say that most the apps I use are incredibly UI consistent, more so than on any other OS I have ever used. But I am certain, that if heavy customization is allowed, it will exacerbate the practice of developers putting out apps that follow their own UI guidelines rather than the standard NS UI. >>> Well, not every machine I go to has my account available.

Or >wouldn't you think that it's much more inconsistant to use Windows >on your laptop for outside work and NS for desktop processing of >the collected data ;-) I think we may have to LCD's in mind here. For instance, the laptop displaying only 800X600 or worse yet 640X480 might force development of smaller windows. But I don't think it will require you to change the way in which those components work. A scrollbar should still work the same way, it would just be inside a smaller window. However, I'm even against making windows. The design of the app, and consequently the size of any windows, should be determined and made to satisfy the requirements and purpose of the program. Thus, if the program's purpose/requirement was to show 2 pages of text simultaneously, then the window size by default ought to be something like 1100X850. The hardware, everything is secondary to the requirements of the job that has to be done. In general you won't have such extreme requirements, though. But an application's requirements demand certain size UI elements, and when one doesn't provide for those demands, the usability of the app is then compromised. Anyway, I think that 800X600 in 8bit color is pretty darn usable, as far as laptops and NS go. And I don't think that at that resolution, a developer has to do anything significantly different in the way of UI, I guess the only constraint is not to make windows bigger than 800X600. As far as windows being an inconsistent LCD ... I think it is the definition of inconsistent LCD ;-) -- Thanks, Later, John monoChrome, Inc. | New York Law School | NEXTSTEP Developer John Kheit )^> %^) | Opinions expressed | MIME & NeXTmail OK--3P jkheit@cnj.digex.net | represent me only... | Telepathy...It's coming...

Constantin Szallies & Erik Dornenburg are the programmers doing all the main work on it. It's available for free, including source code, from a number of ftp sites. One place you can find it is: ftp://eclipse.its.rpi.edu/NeXT/apps/Alexandra_f (which is a folder of various archives). The official current version is 0.8b, and the above folder includes the source for that version as well as five different binaries (one quad-fat, and four single-architecture). Note that if you want to compile it yourself, you'll also need to pick up a fairly recent copy of the MiscKit. Also at the above site is a quick-hack version called 0.8b.gad1 (binaries only). It has some fixes to face-tiff processing, and also a quick-fix option which can speed up Alexandra a lot in some circumstances. It adds a "Fetch Fewer Headers" option, for those who don't have a working NOV database on their usenet servers. This is a quick hack, and could have been implemented better.

Does every user always have all the answers for everything they are doing? Is it true that they never have to ask someone else to help them -- on their account? Have you ever tried to help thousands of different users (there are literally thousands of X users at RPI, for instance) try to get something done? Do you know how frustrating it is to be asked a question, go to help the user at their unix session, and end up spending all your times try to protect yourself from their customized environment? While John did seem to be talking about machine-level changes, the same facts come up with changes that only happen at the user-level. If a user will never have to come to me to ask me some question, then they can have all the options they want, and totally change the entire look and feel of the platform. As soon as they need to talk with anyone else about that platform, having a multitude of user configurations can be a real headache. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

There is nothing more serious than consistancy. BUT I believe there are some things which might not change the consistancy. These things are (IMHO) the built in behaviour of a scroller, the mouse, the colour, etc. Notice that I was talking about _builtin_ features. If some things get user adjustable (like color, or size of fonts, window borders) this wouldn't hurt consistancy. But I agree that there are some preferences which would hurt the consistancy, like adjusting the window elements (eg. scrollbottons at the top against at the bottom) or autofocus etc. And it wouldn't make much sense to offer too much freedom to the programmers to adjust these things, because if this happens, inconsistance will propably occur. I hope this will lead us to a consense? > >But Again, this is exactly the problem. Why do you have to use > >machines, where you don't have an account on?

I was thinking of the general stuff in an company, who is used to their people and the environment. I believe a consultant to be a more professional person than this stuff, and he has to know even more caveats than the company's stuff (why should he have been called otherwise). This might look like an accuse but I think it's one thing of the consultant's job, and if a consultant would work much better with his own account, I'm sure each company would create a new account for him on the fly. Okay, I'm working in a company which is sponsored half by government and half by industry, and things are surely very much different in the real hard life outside. > [munch munch] > > Anyway, I think that 800X600 in 8bit color is pretty darn usable, > as far as laptops and NS go. And I don't think that at that Yes, and this is mostly a problem of NS (as other already pointed out) because it doesn't adjusts to the used resolution! If the window borders and icons would shrink to the dpi size, and you would use a smaller font (and bitmapped fonts are sometimes much better to read) everything would be fine at this resolution. Footnote: I can't go on talking about this too much now, because I just don't have the insight as you and many others do. I'm still a student and do only work for 4-5 months/year. Some things might even look like talking about a long time experience and this is not true for me (working as a programmer and admin only for 2 years) now.

Because ofttimes it would take them a year to do it. They called me over, b/c I'm the 'so called' expert :) in the first place. If I don't have much time to muck about I'll just do the darn change really quick, and let them figure it out on their own pace. If they don't get it, they can come back later. My job is to get things done. Moreover, it is agonizing to watch someone do something SSSSLLLOOOOOWWWLYYY. My face starts to twitch when I watch a user taking minutes to do what I can do in seconds. I don't mean to put down the beginner user or slow typer/GUI'er (I was slow once, and by some other's standards still maybe), but it is annoying. Kind of like getting caught behind a very slow driver. Sometimes it's easier/faster to do it yourself; and sometimes expediency is demanded. > Hm, maybe we might get a consense: I hate inconsistency, too! > There is nothing more serious than consistancy. BUT I believe > there are some things which might not change the consistancy. > These things are (IMHO) the built in behaviour of a scroller, > the mouse, the colour, etc. Notice that I was I'm afraid I disagree about scroller operation. It should stay the same IMHO. However, I agree, a purple background (ick) may not kill consistency. But than again, if you let user coloring go too far, to the point where they are changing color of sliders, windows, menu's, then whole UI takes on a different look and becomes disorienting. Anyway, I'll sum up in this way. When I was starting out a million years ago :-) Way back in the Macintosh days... I went on a kick of making all my documents with a million fonts, and shadow, and italic etc. etc. Because it was new and fun, but it made UGLY looking documents that were hard to read. Now I've gone a bit to the other extreme and use just Helvetica (why, because it's the default font) and Times; even though I have hundreds of fonts installed-and now my documents look much better. Later, I added all kinds of doo-dads to the mac interface to make it look cooler. I wasted way too much time making the UI look cool, and really made it just a gaudy mess. Now I don't touch a thing on NS. I have complete faith in NeXT making it look great and usable. I thought I knew better when they were adding color back in 3.0 and that it would ruin things.

Apple has released beta copies of the Desktop Integration Libraries. These libraries allow authors of Macintosh and Windows programs to integrate Newton connectivity directly into their applications. I don't know if Apple has plans to write DILs for the UNIX or NeXTSTEP communities. According to my last correspondence with Michael Tibbott, manager of Newton tools at Apple, the specifications for Newton package formats and communications has not yet been released. He said it should be out by the end of July. I've got the foundation for a NeXTSTEP/Newton package downloader laid out in IB, and am just waiting for the serial specification so I can finish my communications object. Once I've got this freeware app up and running, I'll start work on a shareware or commercial NS connection kit. Also, if there's enough interest, my partner and I are considering writing a services/object library similar to Apple's DILs to allow NS software authors to include Newton connectivity in their applications. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. kris --- Kris Noland Partner Primordial Software kris@entigran.com

Does > anybody have a texsys.cfg file that works with initex on NeXT? Don't do that. Just ignore the error messages and use the standard texsys.cfg. NeXT-TeX has the non-standard-feature to search for files in the TEXINPUTS-directories if it can't find them in the current directory. ltxcheck reports this as an error, but it doesn't cause any problems when working with TeX and I'm afraid that undefining the current directory will do no good.

One of these that comes to mind immediately is doing searches/replaces on books. I've got huge books where opening each Frame file, doing the replace work and saving is too tedious to consider. In my opinion, if Frame wants to continue to recieve good reviews from end-users, they had better start implementing most or all of the things I read listed time and time again over in comp.text.frame's "most wanted" threads. > Otherwise, however, FrameMaker is an old reliable WYSIWG text processor > that isn't too hard to use and can produce good results.

There hasn't ever been something that fills this need; Pages lacks the configurability to be considered a competitor, in my opinion. Since you can get more up to date versions of Frame on Mac and Windows, perhaps that's enough of a reason to consider moving.

It's been slightly buggy for quite some time and even though it's extensible, there has been no third-party support for it (in terms of add-on WetPaint filters). I've also received word that it won't see another update until at least next year sometime. It showed promise early on, but WetPaint has been stagnant for too long for me to recommend it above the educational price. I would investigate educational discounts on Adobe Photoshop if there is no requirement that the software run on NS. You can find educational third-party software vendors in popular PC magazines, if your educational institution doesn't offer Photoshop.

The simple trick I found (if Postscript is one page only) is to drag and drop the PS file in Create.app then use Save To... (selection, EPS) and that's it! Now your PS file is EPS without you hacking it. However, I believe most NeXT applications put a lot of header stuff, so the file size might increase more than if you did it yourself. I've moved EPS files to windows with no problems, but I tried once an EPS file in PowerPoint for Mac: It showed the rectangle with the header info, but not the image and I thought "That's how Macs deal with EPS" But when I sent it to the slide maker machine, all the other elements showed up (background, borders, etc..) except the actual EPS file, it was omitted!!! If you are still having trouble, then here are two hacks you can try (not guaranteed to work): 1. If you are going to embed the EPS file in other EPS files it is better to change: %%Pages: whatever 1 to %%Pages: 0 and comment out any %%Page: 1 1 Otherwise you might get the "Pages out of order" error message. 2. Some software cannot deal with (atend) directives. Move the information from the end of the file up to the header. (BoundingBox, DocumentFonts etc..) Good luck -- Wassim M.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

My swapfile just keeps growing and never shrinks. Should I upgrade to recent version to get rid of the problem? Or is there any trick I can do to keep the condition under control? I'm running mathematica on NS 3.0. Thanks Mathematica has the neat feature that it preserves _every_ result ever generated -- which is why after days of running you can still access that umpteen megabyte variable as "%12" even though you stopped caring about "%12" quite some time ago. IMHO, this is an example of poor design for those of us who program or do data analysis with Mma. Since the Mma folk don't believe this is a design flaw, it is not likely to be changed any time soon. (Unfortunately, neither Xmath or MATLAB ran under NEXTSTEP so I'm stuck with using the wrong tool for the data analysis job.) Enough diatribe, what you can do to fix the problem is to insert the commands... $HistoryLength = 3; (* prevent storing extreme numbers of past results *) Unprotect[Out]; $Post = ((Out[$Line - $HistoryLength] =. ; #) &); into your init.m file or execute them at the beginning of a session. This will clear out the history file of results older than $HistoryLength. However, you'll still be able to use "%", "%%", etc. to grab the most recent results during an interactive session. You'll get a few error messages at the beginning of a session until you run out of undefined (negative) results.

The problem is that the disk appears to be write protected (i.e., no space available appears in the bottom left corner of the File Viewer Shelf and all but the Open items in the Workspace File menu are gray), yet the write protect window is closed! Even the Workspace Disk Initialize menu item is gray. The workaround is to open a terminal window and delete everything on the diskette using "rm -r *". After all of the file are deleted, the amount of space available reappears and the disk is no longer write protected. Strangely, this problem began after I installed Developer 3.3 last week. I have not noticed this on NeXT or Intel computers running NEXTSTEP 3.2 or 3.3 with Developer 3.2. I considered informing NeXT using BugNeXT, but they never seem to respond to my reports (probably because I am an EDU customer). This is an annoyance for myself, but would be very difficult for most of my users to deal with (open a Terminal window and they freeze like a deer in headlights).

Of course, this for NS intel. A few things are happening to me. * NS crahsed twice (system panic in the nice little windows :-)) Though this may be only a serial device problem. (ISASerialPort, TTYServer,SerialPointing device) * Pni starts two sh processes, one pni0 and one pni19 (!!!). The later (pni19) did not happen before. * The command /etc/pni/bin/pnistat -c down does not work any more. Apparently it can't bind to the process (Can't find it) Another problem stems from netinfo hanging all the time. Is there any quick fix for that? Glad to hear comments on these subjects.

Beyond that, if you want good screen fonts you'll have to find some hand-edited bitmaps or crete them yourself. Then, you'll need to get those bitmaps into BDF form. I believe Fontographer on the Mac can do that, though you'll want to check. I don't know of any NeXT programs that will. Once you have the BDF files, read up on the man page for prebuild. That will build the .bepf and .lepf prebuilt files that are used on the screen.

Please forgive me with my ignorance regarding this area, I'm still new at this. Can anyone help me with the following questions? 1.)According to the NS manual I should have a fully working copy of TeX and Emacs, however I can not find them in my account. I went to installer and opened the respective .pkg files, but they say they are already installed. What am I doing wrong? 2.)How do I set up my modem? I have a generic fax modem 14.4 with a Rockwell chip. Can I get drivers for this thing somewhere on the net? Also what kind of communication software is there for NSFIP? 3.)Lastly, I have a HP 4L laser printer, it is not postscript, can I still use it? And if there is a driver where can I get it?

I don't recall the exact changes (3.x in particular went through a number of CPU revisions), but 3.3 (the latest version for black) should be a fair bit faster. 3.X has support for windows - basically a special display driver that displays on the NeXT. 2.0 can run windows, but it uses VGA, which is then redrawn on the NeXT sceen - VERY slow. 3.0 is quite usable considering the speed of the machine. 4.X is for Intel only, and uses the real CPU to do most of the work, hence its pretty quick.

You should certainly report any bugs you find using BugNeXT. (a) If you're the only person to encounter whatever it is, you'll let them know about a problem they probably won't find or hear about otherwise, and (b) the number of bug reports on a particular problem gives NeXT a good indication of how high a priority they should assign to fixing that problem Secondly, Bug_NeXT is *not* a support alias, which is what NeXT's autoreply states.

All you have to do to put in ANY picture you want is open up the inspector panel in Netsurfer. Then drag and drop any graphic file into the icon well in the inspector, and thats it. What I usually do is open up the web page, and the page usually has a picture representing it, I then drag from the open web page to the inspector icon well, and the image is automatically sized.

One thing that's especially nice about it is that when it creates a backup tape, it also creates an index for the tape on your disk so that if you need to recover a file it can _very_ quickly find it on the tape. SafetyNet also makes it a snap to schedule regular backups. Write to info@systemix.com for more info. Denise (a very satisfied customer)

If you're having problems with it I'd suggest looking at your NetInfo and HostMangler stuff because that is probably where the problem lies, not with PNI.

While the >software is primarily intended to drive the NSM CD jukebox I have >ordered a week ago, the support of the internal CD drive should be >only matter of small controller bundle for the general front-end. NSM CD jukebox? Tell me more! I've been itching to get a 100-disc CD-player for a while now (ever since I got used to having a rock-ola 100-disc jukebox at my club in college), so I've been really happy to see them hit the home market and have been watching the ones from Sony, JVC (I think), and pioneer, waiting for them to drop a little more in price. The problem with all of them though is that it appears they can't program too many tracks (fewer even than the total number of CDs it'll hold). A computer interface would be perfect. So what's NSM? How many CDs does this jukebox hold? How much does it cost and where did you order it from? >I suppose the software should be available in alpha version till >September, the final full-featured version soon afterwards. I'll Will your program be quad-fat, or is it going to be limited to one particular hardware architecture? How is the computer going to be hooked up to the jukebox? >Let me please know (using email) what features you will prefer to >have in the CD Player. Oh come on, let's have a good discussion of cool features (since everyone complains about the current program). For computer software, it should have the works (and if you can't implement all of it, make the source code available and I'm sure someone else will add new features that you'll enjoy too -- who knows, maybe even me if I get a good CD player soon :-) ). Here's a list of things I'd like to see (though I don't really expect anything to have all this, but that would be nice): - Unlimited number of songs in programmed sequence (up to memory limits). - A nice scrollable list of CDs with their songs to select songs or for programming (just click on the line of the song). Ideally, the list should work like an outliner (like Concurrence's outline mode or OmniWeb's browser for bookmarks) except of course that there will be only 2 levels (album and song). But like the outliners, it would be nice to be able to double-click on the album to collapse or expand it (show or hide its songs). Also, global collapse/expand to get only the album titles or all the songs, respecitvely. Heck, maybe you could even allow people to group sets of CDs into groups or categories, and then you could have more than 2 levels to the listing. - Of course, in the listing, the time for each song will be listed next to it, and the time for the whole album will be listed next to it. - For programming, there would be another window listing the songs in the program so far, in order. You could re-order the songs in the program just by clicking anywhere on the line for that song and dragging to the new position in the order. Next to each song in the order would be the time for the song, the total time from the beginning of the program to that song and the total time remaining from there till the end of the program. At the bottom or top will be the total time for the program. - All these times should be displayed while the program is playing (time left, time left in song, etc.). - Adding a whole CD to a program means select one song randomly from the disc. - Adding a special random symbol, or the entry for the entire collection or something like that, means add a random song from any available disc to the program. - A separate random play mode would just keep playing random songs. You could have a binary mode of whether to sample with or without replacement. When sampling without replacement, obviously, once every song had played, it would stop. - For each song and/or by album, you could put the song/album in or out of the list from which to draw randomly (in other words you could turn off the chance for certain songs you don't like to be picked or certain albums you don't want to hear right now). If you want to be really extreme, you could assign a weight, rather than an all-or-none, but I think this is going a bit far. - Of course, you should be able to label songs and CDs with names of the songs, CDs, and artists. - If you have 100 CDs, with ~10 songs each, you might want to have a simple search capability, to search for the name of the song you want. - I don't know if this is possible with the way the computer will be hooked up to the CD player, but certainly you want fast-forward and rewind, while the song is playing, plus advance one song and go back to the beginning of the song, just like normal CD players and the current program that comes with NEXTSTEP. - Volume control if possible. That's about it, I guess (as if that isn't enough :-) ). What else does everyone want? -Karl

If you are in random mode, and a song you don't like so much comes on, you can have the computer lower it's chance of coming up in the future, and the opposite for songs you do like. You can even get fancy and have priorities for all other songs an artist did go up or down depending on if the song before was one by the same artist (kind of a two for tuesday, or artists blocks radio thing). Or more likely that two tracks would be played in sequence (for an opera, or for something like Queens' "we are the champions"). In short, it would be a custom tailored home radio station. Something I've always wanted. And you can have different sets of these weight schema's depending on your mood.

Thanks in advance. Well see the Latex.pkg on the NeXTStep CD. Just a double click as root. That's enough for Latex 2.09. If you'd like to have the new Latex2e you should get a new Latex Package from the next CTA (ftp.dante.de or look out for a local site, please!) Latex2e uses all the old things (initex), don't remove the old latex.pkg first. Follow the installation for a unix type machine. Get the new hyphenation pattern file for french, or whateven you like to write in. Insert it in the file language.dat as metioned in the installation guide. Be care full to end any line in the file language.dat with a expllicit Ctrl+M Character (as a selfish PC user developped the handling of language.dat) Finally see the base package inputenc with the file next.def to use all special characters of the next encoding.

Date: 27 Jul 1995 01:59:54 GMT Organization: University of Otago, Dunedin, NZ Distribution: World Message-ID: <3v6ruq$uih@celebrian.otago.ac.nz> Here's a sad little story. In 1992 we purchased an OCR package called ElectroWorX. Great package, does what we want and does it well. ElectroWorX uses the ScanWorX OCR engine from Xerox. What follows is not directed at Insight, but at Xerox. We recently re-organised the University's network. We were one big (un)happy family on a single class B net (yep 3000 hosts on one net!) We split it into subnets, so the machine we were running on is now called farli.csarc.otago.ac.nz instead of farli.otago.ac.nz. ScanWorX uses one of those pain in the but hostid/hostname copy protection systems, so quick as a flash it didn't work. After finally getting hold of Insight we requested a new key for the new hostname. The response from Xerox was: No, you've got to pay an upgrade fee of $500 to get a new key. This is not a new version of the software, it's the same machine running the same copy of the software - since it's also keyed to hostid it must be the same machine. No joy. So, what are my options? I could just pay the new license fee, I could find something else - but what is there? Or, as I am extremely tempted to do - I could hack the thing to let me run it with the new name - isn't software protection a good thing. (Not!) So, if any of you are considering purchasing a Xerox product that has some form of copy protection - don't! -- Alastair Thomson, | Phone +64-3-479-8347 Manager, | Fax +64-3-479-8529 Computer Science Applied Research Centre | NZ Mobile 0-25-353-994 University of Otago, | alastair@BlackAlbatross.otago.ac.nz Dunedin 9015, | NeXTmail/MIME Welcome New Zealand. | http://www.csarc.otago.ac.nz:805/

Please, all of you, test the S3Link you have (it should be the mentioned 1.0.1 beta; if not, download it from ftp.cs.orst.edu), namely its ability to transmit files to the Series3/3a/Workabout. Try to transmit bigger files. Then please let me know either that you had no locks, or how often and on which files the transmission locks. Thanx. BTW, I have decided to add a simple script feature to the 1.0 final - you will be able to prepare a list of files to be copied and then run whole script to transfer all files automagically.

I have an Intel system with the Microsoft Windows Sound System running NEXTSTEP 3.2 and I'd like to add a SoundBlaster 16 to my system without removing the Windows Sound System. In NEXTSTEP, I'd like to keep using the Windows Sound System, but when I boot to DOS/Windows, I will use the SoundBlaster. (Since more DOS/Windows stuff supports the SoundBlaster, but the NS3.2 SoundBlaster driver is more buggy than the Windows Sound System driver.) Is this possible hardware-wise? I.e., just plug each one into an ISA slot and it should work, right? With a single set of speakers, the speakers will have to be unplugged from one card and plugged into the other every time I reboot to switch operating systems, but that's okay. I haven't tried actually putting the SoundBlaster card into the computer yet. Is it possible software-wise? I've just ftp'ed the SoundBlaster16 driver for 3.2 from Next's ftp site and used configure to add it to the system's drivers. I had to resolve a DMA conflict but that was easy. I had a real nasty problem on the first attempt which rendered the computer unbootable (hung just before the login-panel but accepting remote tty logins). Took me a while to solve that. Finally got it back to the state with just the Windows Sound System. Removed that and THEN added the SoundBlaster. Booted fine. Then added the Windows Sound System back and booted fine again this time, with sound working through the Windows Sound System no problem.

Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

Typically, what you need to do is run fsck (first without making changes, so to see that how much it can recover). Because the master block of the file system has with 99.9% probablility been overwritten, you would have to specify the -b option to specify an alternate master block (you were given a list of alternate master blocks when you first newfs'd the disk, you of course printed those out, didn't you?). On NeXTstep, block 16 is always an alternate master block, but I'd think it highly likely it was also overwritten (one way to find out the alternate master blocks would be to take an identical hard disk and partition/newfs it identically). Refer to "man fsck" for further details. If all else fails and the disk is really of great value, local hard disk dealers can probably direct you to data recovery companies who deal with this kind of stuff almost daily. PS.

ND is (was?) explicitly supported in the Black releases of SPC. Previously you had a hard disc file in your home directoy which is no longer there, but SPC remembers it, and is simply upset that its not there any more. OOPS!!! I just powered up my cube, and checked the 3.0 version - you're right that is rather nasty!!! It doesn't give you the chance to make a new one. This is fixed in 4.0 (not that this helps you of course). The workaround is petty simple - you just need to remove the default value: dremove SoftPC DOS_Drive_C This will make SPC forget about your old disk file and prompt you to make a new one.

This is a little outside my remitt, but strictly off the record: The problem is that its such a shame to waste the fact you've got a real CPU. It runs so much faster than anything we could build in software (at least on a PC - the alpha version flies!). 286 type stuff is easy (ish!), as it doesn't do much system munging. Enhanced mode stuff tries to mess with things like the GDT (for non-hacking types thats where ALL addressing for the entire system begins - there's only one, and NeXTStep is rather protective of it). The existing product will infact run 486 (or better) code provided it doesn't try and munge the system - like windows enhanced does. The work required for windows enhanced involves hacking inside the NextStep kernel to give us access to these tables - hairy stuff. NeXT are actually pretty cooperative on this, but its a lot of work, and its high risk. Win95 is another spanner, that could make work on 3.1 enhanced a waste of time. None of these problems apply on the non-intel SoftWindows platforms, and hence they will get 486 real soon now (Macintosh shipped last week!). A spin-off from these into non-intel NeXT systems is possible, but no promises (I'd love to do it, but marketing get to decide). I'm personally kicking to get as much NeXT work done as possible, but I'm just a lowley hacker (albeit the lowley hacker who fixes all the NeXT bugs). I can make small changes, but the big guys need to OK the sort of serious work involved here. I'm working on them though... Ian (this is all unofficial, and nothing to do with Insignia policy)

No. Or, rather, yes and no. I suppose you will have two opportunities: 1) Player runs in its main window (probably you are just _listening_). This will be a standard window, containing - the selection name - the magazine name and number, if the player uses magazines - the disc name and number - the track name and number - all the relevant times - a resizable list of previously played tracks - a resizable list of tracks which will be played next - controls... - direct access to track/disc database, which will allow you to select disc/track which has to be played by name. 2) Player runs in its miniwindow (probably you are _programming or so_, while listening 'on background').

The magazines are freely interchangeable (the only slight drawback is that you can not change magazine while playing a disc from the other one) and you can order any number of them. It is quite fast - the disk is changed in 10 seconds at worst, average time is <5s. On the other hand, the disc lift is relatively noisy. You can control the player via the RS-232 interface.

This problem is unlikely to go away anytime soon. Fortunately, I have a hack ("fix" is really too strong a word) that makes these files useable on the NeXT.

Please reply directly to >esterbro@vt.edu. > >-Chuck Esterbrook > Orca Computer, Inc. ---------------------------- I have had exactly the same experience as this! I was building a DOS partition on my boot drive about one month ago. I created the DOS partition and then rebooted the computer with the DOS floppy disk. The setup program started and offered to format my disk and install dos. MS-DOS 6.22 formatted my 100 meg dos partition, and then begain immediately formatting my 1 gig NEXTSTEP partition. I saw this and stopped it after about 2-3%. I was livid, and made some phone calls to Microsoft demanding that they pay to recover my lost data. I finally got connected to someone at tech support at Microsoft who made the brilliant suggestion "can't you just run unformat on the partition?". I had to pay $25.00 to hear this and other similar calibre suggestions. It turns out that Microsoft says that my dos 6.22 disks were an OEM product with the company that I bought my computer from (Packard Bell), and Microsoft said that Packard Bell had modified the boot floppy for dos. They also said that THEIR dos disk would not automatically format a second hard drive. I didn't believe it, and when I talked to Packard Bell, their tech support said that they really don't make any big changes to dos setup - just change some parameters. They said it must be a problem with Microsoft. At that point, their only suggestion was to write a letter to Packard Bell explaining what happened. Packard Bell said that for most people, this would not be a problem since they only have one drive, and they use the entire drive for DOS. I tried many things to recover my data. I tried building another disk with NEXTSTEP, and then manually mounting my damaged disk. It could not mount the disk. I then deleted the DOS partition and remade the NEXTSTEP partition using fdisk. I still could not mount the disk. I tried running the "disk" utility with the raw SCSI device and searching for backup boot blocks and running fsck with the alternate boot blocks. Nothing worked, and eventually I had to reformat the disk. I did lose some important data from the drive, and I'm being much more careful since then with my data. I now have my main NEXTSTEP files on a disk with 1024 byte sectors, so it isn't even recognised by DOS! The setup program is a very poorly handled install program by Microsoft, with total ignorance of any other operating system. It's disgraceful that a company with such an inferior product has become such a dominating position in the computer world. Varun

But with OpenStep, would not even a plain vanilla Solaris version of Frame still be usable? And with Solaris, you get Display Postscript with or without OpenStep. I have NEXTSTEP running on HP PA-RISC. There is an HP-UX version of Frame (version 4 at least, and maybe 5), but it doesn't do me any good unless I want to boot HP-UX instead, which I definitely do not.

First, PostScript as such is device independent. What you have is not a "real" PostScript file (.ps) but a file that contains a bitmap. Most likely this bitmap is rendered for output to a laser printer (i.e. 300 dpi, where your screen has ~72 dpi --- dpi == dots per inch) I've heard that GhostScript (for X) does a better job of making these texts look better but you really should blame the people who insist on distributing device *dependent* information instead of device *independent* files. And in the case of [La]TeX there's a perfect alternative: distribute the DVI file instead --- then I can output nice looking copies on my 400 dpi printer, which I can't when someone rendered the DVI file into "PostScript" at 300 dpi... I nearly forgot: new fonts won't help; a 300 dpi screen would :-) Not much help, I know.

Daydream from Quix of Switzerland is a software/ROM combination that, when plugged into the NeXT's DSP, creates a virtual "Macintosh environment." By that I mean that you are actually running System 7.x, not just an emulation window within NEXTSTEP. Executor is an emulation window. > 2. What are their latest versions, what are the improvements ? Daydream is currently version 2.11. Improvements over previous revs include System 7.5 compatibility, a previous color bug has been fixed for compatibility with Illustrator and Photoshop, and the Daydream now supports the NeXT Dimension in 24 bit/pixel color. The most recent non-experimental release of Executor/NEXTSTEP is version 1.3. There may be 1.99 experimental demos available. There are several planned improvements for 2.0 including color support. > 3. How do these apps on 25MHz NeXTstation color compare a real MacIntosh > computer ? With the Daydream, it will be just like running on a 25 MHz Mac Quadra (with a better monitor ;-) With Executor, expect decreased performance. > 4. How is it with compatibility? Do they emulate System 7 ? Daydream actually runs System 7.x (which you must provide and install). The only immediately noticeable difference being the lack of system sounds (no sound or MIDI support). By ARDI's own admission: Because the OS and Toolbox have been rewritten from scratch, Executor has many limitations, including no AppleTalk, no sound, no System 7, no INITs, no CDEVs and no Internationalization. Executor can read and write 1.4 Mb Mac formatted floppy disks, but can not format floppies, nor can it read or write 800 Kb floppy disks. Incidently, Daydream doesn't support 800 Kb floppies either. > 5. What about graphics? Which modes/resolutions are supported? Other than the fact that Daydream supports color up to the Dimension's 24-bit and Executor doesn't, I'm not sure. > Thank you very much, have a nice day, > > Rudy Blazek > student at MSU > blazek@stt.msu.edu Though you didn't ask, here's a thumbnail comparison: Daydream converts the NeXT computer to a virtual Macintosh capable of running System 7.5. Executor works on NEXTSTEP for either Motorola or Intel processors. It is not System 7 compatible. Under Daydream, you are running System 7.x full-screen. With Executor, you are running a Macintosh window from within NEXTSTEP. Daydream does not support sound, but it does support color, AppleTalk, and the vast majority of Macintosh applications. Executor does not support sound, color, AppleTalk, etc. and many applications to not run adequately. As it is a hardware (ROM box) / software bundle, there are no demo versions of Daydream available. A demo of Executor is available from ftp.cs.unm.edu in /pub/ardi Daydream is $655. Executor is $500. I hope this information is of use.

I agree that Kiwi is well on its way to being the best. I tried it but elected not to buy it because you can not get all of your subscribed newgroups into one browser and have it show you the number of unread articles therein (at least I did not see a way). Other than that, Kiwi's author has implemented a very nice multi-window gui in the classic NeXTStep style. Its simple, intuitive and even more flexible than Newsgrazer with its one window approach. I have tried all of the others except for Netsurfer (its not out). Newsgrazer is still the best IMO, except that it dies in certain situations. I really like Alexandra's ability to show a picture of an article's author. I dislike its use of a one window interface (a la NewsGrazer) and of course it still has a way to go before it is in NewsGrazer's class. -- Felipe A.

Hocker > email: american@aztec.asu.edu > I had a similar problem trying to create handouts of example programs for a class. I knew that control-L starts a new page, but Edit ignores that. So here's a workaround. Add control-L's where you want page breaks. I create them in vi because they don't show up in Edit. But once you have one, you can copy and paste it. Let's say your file is named example.cc. Use enscript to create a PostScript file named example.ps using: enscript -2r -pexample.ps -B example.cc Then open the (2-up with no headings) file with Preview. No, it isn't using Edit directly, but it does work. And you can fiddle around with enscript's options to get different effects such as the file name on the top. Try 'man enscript'. I suppose you could create a terminal service that automated some of this. Beth Katz katz@cs.millersv.edu

Is it feasable to use NEXTSTEP for this? I'm using Intel hardware.>> Wow, maybe this should go in a FAQ somewhere. Yes, there is a great deal of Web server software available, most (if not all for NEXTSTEP) being free. You need to be able to compile source for just about every server I'm aware of. (or at least be able to compile source for the language it is written in, in the case of the Perl server) Is it feasable? Yes and No depending on what kind of performance and usage issues you are looking at. The two biggest problems we've faced have been with: lookupd This little baby is pretty much an all-around bad thing. It integrates NetInfo (not necessary for us and not desired) as well as being a tremendous bottle-neck on machines required to do many DNS lookups. The workarounds are relatively severe as well, basically requiring that you compile a replacement and re-compile your server software (and any other software that does DNS resolution) to use the replacement instead. Haven't got around to this yet, we may switch platforms first before making the effort. ifconfig It doesn't support the aliasing feature so you're pretty much stuck serving for only one unadulterated URL (a URL without a '/directory' suffix on the end). Looks like there is a workaround here too (fake up some interfaces with PPP, say) but we haven't got around to attempting this one either. That's some complaining, so what is good about NEXTSTEP? Well, in our case we had a Cube laying around and we've been able to make use of it as a Web server. The above problems are causing us some issue with regard to growing our service, but up to this point it has been very servicable. In addition most of the desired software will compile, some even sort of easily! - Gary

It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted.

This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here.

Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

It doesn't have to work like this. Under NEXTSTEP clicking into a window to activate it doesn't change the selection of text, regardless of where you click. I find it *annoying* to hell that under Windoze this is not the case. You select some text, go into some other window (or app), e.g. help, and then want to go back. ARGH. In your case, I'd say this is an implementation error/oversight, rather than bad design. Bye, Uli

You already can see that in the number of words I had to use. Another example: you are at a certain position within a document. You want to go back there soon. You position the mouse above the middle of the slider (little knob position). You use the keyboard ('Find' or even simple cursor keys) to go somewhere else. Now you just have to press the mouse button (you haven't used/touched the mouse inbetween) to go back to (if the document is small enough) quite exactly the original position. No way if you have to move the mouse first. I'd agree with the page-scrolling knobs like WriteNow has them. A few other points mentioned in other postings: - scrollbar on the left: There's actually a reason for this: with standard left-to-right written text most documents are left-aligned. So most windows have more text on the left than on the right side. So the probability to have your eyes (reading the text) and the mouse (selecting some text) focussed in the left window half is higher. And so the way to the scrollbar (both: eyes and mouse) is shorter and as such more easy to use. Obviously this isn't true for right-to-left or even vertically written languages. With right-to-left languages (Hebrew and Arabic) not only the position of the scrollbars, but also the order of browser windows should change. Since some right-to-lefties might be too used to our way this should be an option. And there are multilingual documents as well. - activating applications/windows with the keyboard: This works. There's a hack (posted by someone who's name I've forgotten) for /usr/lib/NextStep/windowPackage.ps which causes cmd-alt-cursor up/down to not only bring up/down a window (like cmd-cursor does), but also to activate the window that's now on top. By the way: windowPackage.ps hasn't changed from 2.1 days (or even further back, 2.1 is what I started with) except for whitespace. - Close-window-button on top right of the window: Even W95 has them. Even with the same design (cross). But without the broken cross if the document has been changed ;-). There are quite a lot of cases where the W95 designers looked at NEXTSTEP and copied a few things... - Resizing windows somewhere else than the bottom: Yes and no. Normally, the resize areas are lost space on screen. Especially on small resolutions. Making them narrower (which is possible under Windows) IMHO is no solution because they get more difficult to use. - Full-sized windows: No. At least not on real screens. On laptop resolutions this might seem ok, I haven't worked with NEXTSTEP on 640*480. But on larger screens this seems unneccessary. It somehow isn't unneccessary under Windows. But this is only due to the Multiple Document Interface (big app-window including small doc-windows), for you cannot assign 3/4 of your screen to one application, and 1/4 to another app easily. This not being possible, you tend to use not 3/4 but 4/4 of the screen. And if you use 4/4, you can as well use all of it. One aspect of this also is the way menus are organised under Windows. NeXT's way of putting them into a single window on their own has been copied by Microsoft again: look at VisualBasic. You wouldn't want to use VB in a full-sized window. It doesn't make much sense.

BibFrame uses macros to invoke the various shell scripts and to format the citation variables. Unfortunately, in the NeXT version, it appears that macros can't traverse the dialog boxes. Has anyone found a workaround to this problem? I have also tried fmbib and have managed to get it to work satisfactorily so I will probably use it, but I like bibFrame's ability to use bibTeX files. I would appreciate hearing from anyone else doing references with the NeXT version. I am curious about the FrameMath in mo re recent versions of Frame. The equations in FM3.1 are not very pretty so I have resorted to using EquationBuilder.app and importing all of the equations as graphics. This looks great and is much easier to use, but when there are many equations, FM slows down. -- ..STeve ------------------------------------ Insert pithy maxim here... steve@tweedledee.ucsb.edu (NeXT mail) earing from anyone else doing references with the NeXT version.

I just checked back on the doom-list and one possibility is to play the game as root - this might enable the host_processor_set_priv() calls to work, and stop it running with a standard scheduling policy. I seem to remember Tim Wood reporting that it ran fine in the Omni labs, but have yet to meet anyone who has had DoomII running at reasonable speeds on NeXTstation hardware outside of Omni. You might like to mail the DoomII list for more input <nextdoom-l@omnigroup.com> on this subject. Hope this helps a little, Andrew

Well, I grabbed this neat program called MacFont1.2 and it is supposed to create the AFM info from the FOND resource in the binary. Well, the utility can't find metrics or bitmaps in the resource.

The proximate model is MediaView, the original NS interactive multimedia teaching tool. ANything from animations to simuulations of code, physics, etc... Includes all sorts of known media: audio, pictures, included files, etc. Just drag and drop. 2) hypermedia: Allows linking between multimedia documents. Each document has metainformation (from the document inspector) such as title, author, etc. Each document also has a parent slot for weaving together hierarchical webs Just click in the margin to get a link to a document, or make a bookmark around a region and drag on the bookmark endpoint to link to a specific region. 3) authoring: works just like Edit: multiwindow, multifont (use drag-and-drop font chips from the Tagging Fonts Inspector to mark various levels of emphasis) spell-check, undo, emacs keybindings... 4) tool: it's not an end in itself, it's designed to spit out these works int LaTex, ASCII, C, RTF... and HTML. Only other caveats: eText needs a default location to store its eText files and a plaec to store the .htmld files it can create.

The latest version I know is 2.1 which should be available in the US real soon (remembering a posting of a German distributor). On peanuts we offer a demo of version 2.00.2 for NeXT and Intel.

(You don't need all modules, e.g. if you already own Tayler, or SuperDraw/Create, ...., then the price is much lower) The demo CD costs DM 50 which is about 35US$.

The problem I have is that it takes a lot of time to find out what apps (and demos) are available - if you want to do it on line. Therefore I was thinking about an app which would ask me for a ftp host, the directory I am interested in and also a dir where I would like to store the info to. Then it would connect to the ftp archive, copy the directory structure to the dir I specified and then download all the *readme* and similar files to the directory tree on my disk. Next time it would just compare the files in my tree with the ftp archive and download only the new stuff. And create a directory with links to the new files. (Like dir's 1 and 2 on ??peanut?? (not sure) ). This app would let me to check all the descriptions of the apps off line. And would keep me informed about new stuff. Now, why do I post it here? I would like to know if there is an app similar to what I just described. And I would like to ask you, if the above app makes sense. Would you find it useful? Have a nice day, thanks for all the answers in advance. Rudy Blazek student at MSU blazek@stt.msu.edu

The problem is, I cannot bring the line up/down multiple times. The first time I bring it up works great. Then, if I bring it down using 'pnistat -c down pni0', the next time I try to bring it up, it gives an error: cannot register with portmapper. What seems to be happening is that the first time it registers the RPC, and the second time it is not allowed to register because it already did earlier. Has anyone encountered this? Is there a workaround? Also, is there something equivalent to SLIPCommander that works to bring PNI up and down? Thanks for any assistance, Michael GIddings

HELP--does anyone know > >how the fix the length of the print out? This is a followup my own posting about including control-L in an Edit text file to force a page break when the file goes through enscript. I set this up through both Terminal services and Edit's facilities. I've tested them briefly. Your mileage may vary. Refer to the on-line help for Edit and Terminal for adding your own commands. In Terminal services, I created Insert Control-L with the command of echo -n " " | tr " " "\014" where the empty spaces are spaces. (Thanks to Kelly Cunningham) For options, use accepts no input, uses the selection as input, returns output and uses the fast C-shell. Also in terminal services, I created Two-up PostScript with: cat > /tmp/$$edit; enscript -2r -B -p/tmp/$$out.ps /tmp/$$edit; open /tmp/$$out.ps; rm /tmp/$$edit all on one line. This saves the selection as a file in /tmp, runs that file through enscript, opens the result with the default app for opening PostScript files, and removes the selection file. It doesn't remove the result of enscript because you have a race condition with the app opening the result. This doesn't add headers because the filename is not meaningful. Use the same options as above. I had never used Edit's command facilities, so I gave that a try. There is already an Enscript File command (Utilities/User Commands) but it sends the result directly to the printer. Argh. You can edit your ~/.commanddict file to have the following two commands: Two Up & Headers enscript -2r -p/tmp/$$out.ps $file; open /tmp/$$out.ps Two Up No Headers enscript -2r -B -p/tmp/$$out.ps $file; open /tmp/$$out.ps where the second line of each (open ...) is really part of the first line. There are tabs after the names for the commands. BEWARE: this does the saved version of the file. If you haven't saved, your changes aren't reflected in the output. Finally, I defined an abbreviation for control-L (Utilities/Expert/ Expansion Dictionary) so if I type l and press Escape, I get a control-L. I obtained the control-L by copying one I created with the terminal service version. You could also create one with vi and then open that file in Edit and copy that. You have to turn on Key Bindings to use abbreviations. I didn't see how to do this with RTF files. Edit ignores the page break command in RTF. Perhaps that could be added to Edit in 4.0. If you have a lot to format, maybe you should be using WriteUp. I'll probably use the Terminal Services approach for Control-L because that's where I'll look first. I'll use the Edit version for listings to get the file name. I use it to break program listings between functions for pedagogical purposes. Maybe this is useful to more than one person.

The application controls the serial communication between any NEXTSTEP computer and PSION SIBO machines (as MC200, MC400, HC, Series3, Series3a or Workabout). You must ensure a physical serial connection between PSION and desktop (eg using the PSION Serial Link for Series3/3a). S3Link then uses this connection to communicate with the Link process on SIBO machine, exactly same way as the supplied MS DOS 'MCLINK.EXE'. * FEATURES * - automatic connection as soon as PSION is ready - PSION file system browsing - sensing PSION file/directory attributes - receiving PSION files to NEXTSTEP - transmitting NEXTSTEP files to PSION - automatic generation of a PSION file name (8+3) based on a NEXTSTEP (long) file name - both graphical and text progress indicators - wide set of preferences, allowing a rich customization (using 'dwrite') - standard NEXSTEP look and feel - full NEXTSTEP help The application was released as soon as possible to allow testing on diverse configurations. It is the reason it lacks some features intended for the next versions. Mainly these are only cosmetic details (eg setting preferences using 'dwrite' command in Terminal), the most serious is the impossibility to transfer whole directories. * PRICING * The application is $40 shareware. For testers and localizers is the application naturally free. * AVAILABILITY * S3Link 1.0 is available at ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/binaries/comm Download the S3Link.pkg.NIS.tar.gz.README file and check if the 1.0 was already moved to the comm folder. If not (the README still for 1.0.1 beta), try the submissions folder. Then download the package in S3Link.pkg.NIS.tar.gz. Supported architectures: NeXT, Intel, SPARC (sorry for the HP - still problems, will be solved) Supported software: NEXTSTEP 3.2 or higher (might work on older, untested) * ABOUT THE COMPANY * OCSoftware is a small private company in Prague, Czech Republic, specialized in NEXTSTEP and PSION software development. Although mainly focused to the vertical market with proprietary software packs, it had prepared a number of general applications as well, as - PSION NewEncoding Kit, which allows to use any code page on PSION Series3/3a - PSION Software Localization Kit, which allows to localize Series3/3a to any language - NEXTSTEP NewEncoding Kit, which allows to use any code page with NEXTSTEP (developed with H.C.C., the premium driver writer) - NEXTSTEP FIDONet Message Editor - NEXTSTEP KeySwitch application to select wanted keyboard by one click - NEXTSTEP Czech spellchecker - NEXTSTEP Universal spellchecker, using ASCII file as dictionary - NEXTSTEP RTF Filter, converting RTFD to ASCII with numbered paragraphs and figures - PSION Ophir application, to supervise accounts - some games to attract users :) * FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT * OCSoftware Email: ocs@earn.cvut.cz

The enhancements I'd make are minor (parallel image grabbing, display-as-you-download text and links and enhanced cache control and more index tabs to name a few) and the functionality it offers over the competition is too big to ignore (decent-sized and customizable icons for URLs, an index where one can separate by function as well as by URL name, separate and more functional interfaces for different URL types [e.g., FTP versus gopher/web]).

And it fixes the bug where NewsGrazer crashes if you try to "catch up" before it has fetched the headers of all the newsgroups. I agree, this is probably not welcomed by the recent entries into the NeXTstep newsreader market. (On the other hand, it was already available for Intel - by far the biggest NeXTstep market. Besides, it's years old now and standing still. Also, there's at least one other free [and very usable] newreader available for NeXTstep, so I don't know that this will have any real impact on the market.) As for NeXT's web site, yes - it's dramatically improved. Looks like NeXT has decided to take the net very seriously - we'll see if this continues. And it's got a couple of other toys besides the quad-fat NewsGrazer. There's also a .pkg for the NCSA HTTP server, with point & click install. And, for those of us with NeXTstep 3.3, there's a Mail.app bundle called Urlifier: stick it in ~/Library/Mail, restart Mail.app, and now any URLs in mail messages have link icons - they're draggable, and you can double-click on them to have the link opened in whatever web browser you use. -- andrew.abernathy@mccaw.com (Seattle area) 14335 Northeast 24th Street, Bldg B Bellevue, WA 98007 (NeXTmail / MIME / MS Mail spoken here) I don't speak for McCaw.

NeXT's new Web site is definitely one of the very nicest I've seen. I've downloaded the new NewsGrazer and it seems that the long header problem has been resolved (at least my test of the two versions failed to get the new version to bomb out where the old version does). Kudos to NeXT. It seems that NeXT is on a roll having addressed both the serial ports driver and NewsGrazer. Now if they'll just take a look at lookupd. -- Felipe A.

Well, there's one that's better than the CDPlayer demo app, though it's not quite as good as it should be. I can say that, as I'm the author... You can't enter the artist, disc title, and song titles as the program is running, but you can recompile the program to add them. It's been tested on NeXT and Intel hardware (by me), and seems to work fine. Others have claimed they were going to try it out on HP and SPARC hardware, and no one has come back to me with problems or bug fixes.

(Again: No, I will not do any port to any other platform beside Nextstep at the moment) - Called BeYap (BetterYap), current release 1.0beta4 - No, not public avaible at the moment, as I am still adding features. 8-) - Distribution is not fixed yet, I have invested quite a bit work in this tool so I really like to get something back... Anyone interested? Any features you want to see in such a tool? Just Email me... .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. Parts of the readme from the current version: _Features_ - Multiple documents (just like YAP) (binary PS ok) - Toolbar control (just like a VCR control) - Separate error/status messages console - Interactive input window - multiple breakpoints in the PS code - easy export to bitmap, just drag in the output window - Stop on error (either when single stepping and during normal run) - Single step (handled correctly even for binary passages / image data) - Support for EPS - realtime graphical traceing of current point, current path, current clip path (SmartMode) - (near) realtime stack display - 'literal' printing of the PS code _Known bugs and shortcomings in 1.0 beta4_ - If you zoom the output on a later page and the code issue a restore the former non-scaled state is restored. BeYap tries very hard to force the state to what it believes is true but sometimes this can fail. Doing a reset, set the zoom to the desired value and press the execute button until your reach the desired page is the only solution for such documents at the moment. - Immediate evaluated names of operators will not work as advertised when running in Smart Mode. The reason is outlined in the Red Book Ch. 3.11 Page 103-104. BeYap will redefine the following operators in smart mode to return context information back to the application: token, read, readhexstring, readline, scale, rotate, translate, setmatrix, moveto, lineto, rmoveto, rlineto, curveto, arc, arcn, arcto, rcurveto, closepath, rectfill, rectstroke, strokepath, charpath, newpath, fill, eofill, stroke, clippath, initclip, rectclip, clip, eoclip, grestore, grestoreall, initgraphics, restore, show, ashow, widthshow, awidthshow, xshow, yshow, xyshow, glypthshow, cshow, kshow To force the PS interpreter to do the Right Thing(tm) BeYap will force all occurences of immediate evaluated names of operators that match his list of redefined operators to be evaluated on lookup. This may break on some PS code, so in this case you should switch off SmartMode. - EPSs that has a "point zero" somewhere in sibiria (Virtuoso/Freehand created comes to mind) does not show (actually they do but a few meters above your viewing area). To prevent this BeYap perfroms a -#x_point -#y_point translate where %%BoundingBox #x_point #y_point # # as it find the first BoundingBox. This work only for documents that claims to be EPS in the header. .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. - Frank --- Frank M.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This is very frustrating because if the first attempt fails to get through (eg phone busy), I have to reboot the system to try again! After the first time pni is run, subsequent attempts fail at registering with the portmapper. This is where it always bombs out. Please, if you run the PNI package, let me know how you bring your line up and down, and whether you have this problem.

Question: Which version of NS 3.3 Developer must we buy in order to do this? Since applications developers are distributing quad fat products, some version of NS 3.3 must allow this. However, we purchased NS 3.3 Developer for Intel, and found that it would not allow us to compile for the RISC architectures. Any help in this would be most appreciated.

(don't ask why.) The only networking protocol available on the Series 1 is SNA. Everything is done using LU0, which from my limited knowledge of SNA is very low-level. I am looking for software to run on the Next PC to talk SNA LU0. Source code is preferred, but com'l packages would be considered.

(and other drag error messages) and --- there is no way to INITIALIZE a floppy - the menu item is always disabled. Is this normal? Or what? 2. How do I get to the NMI monitor - the manual suggests both command keys and the tilde on the numerical keypad, which latter item my keyboard does not have. 3. How to set the brightness from the keyboard? There are keys, but these do not work. (The volume keys work ok.) 4. vm_read() always returns KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (in a program which works fine on a NeXT) What can I do? The manual does not mention any Sparc peculiarities for vm_read(). And a last question - I want to send and receive faxes and send data. The Sun PCMCIA modem and NXFax come to mind. Has anybody any experience with this combination? Or any other suggestions - other PCMCIA modems, other software? Thanks a lot for any help! Gerriet.

If you have PNI 1.13 and are running your computer standalone without an ethernet connection, _downgrade_ to PNI 1.11 #2. If the problem you described above happens, you need to type the following logged in as root: /etc/ifconfig pni0 down (change pni0 to whatever your config is) I have this set as a script in /usr/local/bin called slipfix: #!/bin/sh /etc/ifconfig pni0 down Change this script to run suid root for anybody in group wheel: chmod 6755 /usr/local/bin/slipfix Whenever you have this problem, simply type 'slipfix' from a shell. This should fix your problems when they occur. As an additional note, I was having very annoying problems when trying to bring down the pni connection. I would type: /etc/pni/bin/pnistat -c down pni0 and get an error to the effect "Cannot connect to RPC. Is it running?" The modem would not hang up, and I would have to manually kill the pnid process to close the connection. I have a fix for this problem as well: I created a script that simply searches for the pnid process and kills it off the brute force way. It works great! pnikill: #!/bin/sh pniid=`ps -aux | grep pnid | grep etc | awk '{ print $2 }'` echo Killing PNI process: $pniid kill $pniid (yes, I know - there's probably a much more elegant way of doing this...) Make this script suid as well, and simply run this instead of your usual (failed) way of ending your slip connection through pni. Hope this helps!

From: dcl@panix.com (David C. Lambert) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.advocacy,comp.sys.next.software,comp.sys.next.misc Subject: The "stability" of Fiend version 1.3 (longish) Date: 15 Aug 1995 10:26:53 -0400 Organization: PANIX Public Access Internet and Unix, NYC Message-ID: <40qard$sdk@panix.com> Hi. I have been loosely following the discussion concerning Fiend in the various newsgroups, and thought some info might be useful. Some people are probably wondering why one group of people seem to have the opinion that "Fiend is as stable as Netscape's stock price" (amusing quote of the year for the c.s.n groups, in my opinion), while others vehemently protest, insisting that it is as stable as a rock. There are in fact two completely repeatable ways to crash Fiend v1.3. One is due to a very stupid bug that I left in the release distribution, even though I fixed my own copy months ago. To wit - If you launch an application from the command line like this: unix> MyApp & then Fiend v1.3 will die when the app terminates. If you launch it like this: unix> ./MyApp & then Fiend will be fine. Obviously, people who don't launch from the command line, or people who use fully qualified paths on the command line, never see this problem. The mistake I made was in assuming that app delegate messages sent by the Workspace would always contain an absolute path. As many people subsequently discovered, this is not the case, and when there is no forward slash in the path returned by the Workspace, a section of code in Fiend v1.3 winds up dereferencing a null pointer. I would like to apologize to anyone who has been unduly inconvenienced by this bug. Once I got married, I found a lot less time to work on Fiend, and since my copy was working, and there was a simple workaround, it didn't seem to be a high priority. The other is, if you delete a Fiend Dock level with persistent icons on it, Fiend will crash. The only workaround is to make sure that any icons attached to a given level are not persistent. In any case, both of these bugs are fixed in the coming release of Fiend, which will be out within two weeks. Finally, as some people have already pointed out, Fiend is in fact the _only_ dock extender, commercial or otherwise (that I know of) that is capable of showing the animation of absolutely _every_ animated app icon.

I used WP for 4 years on a NeXT system at college, and it was terrible. None of the advanced features worked well (every try to index a 60 page document on a NeXT? Well, when I tried it it locked up and we had to PULL THE PLUG to get it to respond.) And don't even think about using image files, they jump all around, go to different pages, and generally just frustrate the heck out of you. The vertical/horizontal lines are impossible to use and difficult to get rid of. Going from a NeXT WP to an IBM WP was a nightmare. A document written in NeXT WP gets a printcode for the NeXTPrinter which screwed up the display on an IBM byond belief. THEN there was my favorite. Every now and then when I tried to save a document (even if it had already been saved) WP would tell me that I had to create a new name, and then it would tell me that an error had occurred and I couldn't save it at all. SO I'd have to copy everything I was working on, kill WP, start it up again, paste and HOPE that MAYBE it would work. If you are going to write just text and print it on your own printer, and someone gives you a free copy of it (maybe even gives you a couple of bucks for taking it off their hands) then you might possibly consider it. If you intend to do any serious wordproccessing, get PasteUp or whatever it is called now. You'll add years to your life and make me happy as well. I have also heard from others that trying to get support from WP/Novell/whoever has been a nightmare. others may have had better/other experiences, but mine were terrible On 15 Aug 1995, Danny Ramotowski wrote: > > >

The interesting question this bundle brings up is: "Why is this a Mail.app bundle?" Or to phrase it another way, why isn't this a more general service? One would think that it'd also be ideal for all the news reader applications that are popping up, or maybe some other kinds of applications that may have a text window with a URL in it.

I never had so pleasant a backup setup as with SafetyNet! I have just three very small comments (there we go again): Choosing incremental backups is somewhat hidden in the interface. It uses compress instead of gzip for compressed online archives Double-clicking a .prof in Workspace runs it instead of just opens it. This is a violation of NS UI (I want to double click a .prof to open it, inspect it, change it, etc and *maybe* execute it). But if that is all on a program doing so much of a job, it's not much. This is the best program for NS that I have ever bought! (Now if it could backup NetWare servers too, that would mean a big win!). Back to work. --Gerben

Right now, it rings whatever number on my ISDN line has been dialed (I can have up to 10 numbers for 8 different ISDN device - If any of those 10 numbers [from 661 16 70 to 661 16 79] is dialed, the ZyXEL rings when it is not supposed to} - How can I set up my PPP connection to use this new ZyXEL ? I'll be using serial port. Does anyone have a pppup.zyxel scrip that'll work with ISDN lines ? In V.120 ? - Does NXFax work flawlessly with this new ZyXEL ? If not, what do I have to do in order to have it work ? - How can I set up an ISDN 64Kb/s UUCP link ? Thanks a lot for all help --- Jacques GARBI TOUGA MANAGEMENT Ltd.

The internals are _not_ documented and so it would be a try-and-error game to write a driver for HPFS. And NeXT would have a lot of problems because of the violation of copyrights. This is odd, by last looking at the DOS world, there are about 10 or so HPFS readers (& a few writers) out for DOS by shareware authors. Linux adds read-only capability as well. It IS possible for someone to write an IFS for NeXT on OS/2, but seeing how closed NeXT is about certain things, I don't know about the opposite. -- //--------------------------------------------------------------------- // Robert Worne rworne@primenet.com OS/2-NeXT -=Starving CS Undergrad=- //--------------------------------------------------------------------- // Microsoft Network is prohibited from redistributing this work in // any form, in whole or in part.

This is very frustrating > because if the first attempt fails to get through (eg phone busy), > I have to reboot the system to try again! I spent a fair amount of time getting TransSys PNI SLIP up and running on my NeXTstation at home. This was complicated by the fact that I have to deal with dynamically-assigned IP addresses, and the transsys package wants fixed IP addresses (where you have the same IP address every time you dial in). Once I got it completely worked out, I am quite happy with the results. I can bring the link up and down, multiple times, and pretty much everything works as expected. This is true even though I'll get a different IP address every time I bring it up. I wrote up the things I did, the scripts I use, and the reasons I do things the way I did. Those result is available in: ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/demos/comm/PNI-DynamicIP.README ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/demos/comm/PNI-DynamicIP.rtfd.compressed While some of the extra things I did were needed because of the dynamically-assigned IP addresses, other things might be helpful for people in other situations. Might even be a few clues there for people working with PPP -- though I'm not sure on that. The RTFD file includes the scripts I use, which address issues that might be a problem for any PNI SLIP user. Also I've only tried it on a NeXTstation, so I'm blissfully unaware of any problems that would be specific to NS/Intel boxes. I don't claim to address all such problems. Some things that I consider perfectly fine might annoy other people; the main one being that I "su" to root to run some of my slip-related scripts. I shouldn't have to do that, but I haven't bothered to set it up so I don't have to. I won't offer to do personalized debugging of other people's SLIP setup. The effort to get my own working was rather tedious, and it'd be even worse to try and help someone else figure out problems via email with a server that I don't use. However, the writeup may indeed be helpful to others setting up their own links, and I wrote it up hoping I'd save someone else at least a little time... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

So it's in the config file, not a separate shell script. It generally works better that way. Check my writeup though; I'm not at home to check my SLIP setup right now, and I wouldn't trust my memory on what commands I did where. > As an additional note, I was having very annoying problems when > trying to bring down the pni connection.

References: <9508151839.AA00352@gustilo> Hello, NXFax is expected to work with the new ZyXEL Elite and Omni series modems. ZyXEL's DTE speed register settings for the 2864 are currently different from the settings for the 1496 series. As a result, anyone Beta testing a 2864 who wishes to receive incoming fax and data calls should temporarily define an AuxATCommand for NXFax as follows: - Launch the Terminal app. It is located in /NextApps. - Choose Shell from the Terminal menu. - Choose New from the Shell menu. - su to root (unless you are already logged in as root) - type the following commands, pressing Enter after each. Note: use the name or your modem for <your_modem_name> dwrite <your_modem_name> AuxATCommand "ATS18=<value>" Note that in the above, <value> should be replaced by: 3 if your MaxDTERate is 57600 4 if your MaxDTERate is 38400 5 if your MaxDTERate is 19200 Caveats: If and when ZyXEL changes the S18 registers on the Elite and Omni series modems to match those of the 1496 series, this command will have to be removed. If it is not, it could prevent you from properly receiving faxes. If and when this happens, you will have to remove the AuxATCommand in the manner described above to keep NXFax from improperly initializing the modem. dwrite <your_modem_name> AuxATCommand "" Please refer to the NXFax on-line help for more information on MaxDTERate. The DTE rate used in the AuxATCommand must match the MaxDTERate value specified for NXFax. Refer to the NXFax on-line documentation for more information on MaxDTERate. Whether or not ZyXEL decides to change the S18 registers in the Elite and Omni series modems to match those of the 1496 series, a future version of NXFax is expected to support these modems directly without the preceeding patch. --- Best Regards, Susan Marks sales@bandw.com Black & White Software, Inc.

Help! If you still don't have answer. The output of the getmetric.ps goes to the console if you use YAP. It goes to the stdout if you use ptf. Before running the getmetric.ps you must modify it to produce output for the desired font. See the end of the getmetric.ps file. Unfortunately the output of the getmetric.ps is to directly usable as afm file under NeXTSTEP. I made shell-script with a few awk files based on pcATMtoNeXT package, which made the conversion of pfb fonts a little bit easier. If you are interested in, I can send it to you. There is also another possibility how to obtain the afm files for your font. The Adobe has the whole directory with afm files on their anonymous ftp server at ftp.adobe.com.

Date: Sun, 20 Aug 1995 06:35:00 GMT Message-ID: <1995Aug20.063500.13205@proximus.north.de> Hi. I have just finished a perl script that can be run from rc.local and checks if there are some crontab entries that have been missed out while the machine was down. This is especially useful if you use a standalone UNIX(tm) box. (Which is more likely to be turned off at certain times.) Some features include: * Exclude list with commands to ignore (e.g. atrun) * usage: crontab-checker.pl [--debug] [--nodebug] [--exec] [--noexec] [--file f] [--help] [--mail user] [--quiet] [--noquiet] [--syslog] [--nosyslog] [--verbose] [--noverbose] --debug print debugging output (still executing commands) --nodebug do not print debugging output (DEFAULT) --exec execute scheduled commands (DEFAULT) --noexec do not execute the scheduled commands --file f all output goes into file f --help print this help --mail user mail output to user --quiet do not output any messages (even no errors) --noquiet print at least error messages (DEFAULT) --syslog use syslogd for output (DEFAULT) --nosyslog do not use syslogd for output (errors and warnings still go to syslogd except `--quiet' is set) --verbose verbose execution --noverbose no verbose execution (DEFAULT) CAVEATS: * You need Perl5 * Carp.pm, Syslog.pm, GetOptions.pm and GetDate.pm is used * It has been tested and runs perfectly for me on a NEXTSTEP 3.3 environment. However, you will probably have to change some global variables (such as the place of /usr/adm/messages, which su command to use and what format your syslogd spits out) if you want to use it on a different UNIX. I would be very interested how it runs on non-NEXTSTEP boxes, BTW. If you are interested, drop me a mail, I'll send the script and pod file to you.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada.

RTF is certainly very rich and should allow a document saved from one word processor to be opened in another without loss. Unfortunately, however, many word processors are poor in the extent of the RTF specification that they can read and write - usually not being able to save and open a document created on the same word processor without loss! With NEXTSTEP's heavy use of RTF, both as a file format and for pasteboard use, we felt it would be pointless to create a word processor that had (yet) another file format for it's document files. Our product's RTF(D) files can be read by Edit, however since Edit is an editor and not a word processor, it does lose the headers & footers and ignore features like full justification, non left tabs, etc. ----------------------------------------------- Cedar Systems email: cedar@cedar.demon.co.uk telephone: +44 1242 239221 facsimile: +44 1242 254367 -----------------------------------------------

I beg to differ. WriteUp _does_ export headers and footers, it's just that the Text object doesn't know what to do with those directives. Librarian uses the Text object, so that's why it throws them away. And by the way, WriteUp does come with a Librarian indexing filter for _all_ types of documents you can import. -- Gregory H.

I always play it safe (10%) but I am curious. > >Robert The 10% value is related to the algorithm used for allocating new blocks as files are created and grown. One of the underlying desing principles of the berkely fast file is to reduce the problems caused by fragmentation of large files. The older v7 file system had serious scaling problems with fragmentation. The file system is layed out in pieces called cylinder groups. Each group of cylinders is a contiguous ring of blocks at a similar seek offset. Access to blocks within the same cylinder group requires minimal (or no) seek time (it is dominated by rotational latency alone). The file system code has 2 basic algorithms. The first (used when free space is below the 10% hold-back) is optimized for time. When a new file is created in a directory, the file system code is likely to allocate the blocks for that file in the same cylinder group. When a new directory is made, it is likely to go in the different cylinder group. When a large file is extended, the new block is likely to go in the same cylinder group. When a cylinder group has been utilized to 90% new files for directories in that group will be placed in another cylinder group. Space optization is used, when explicitly selected via tunefs, or when the holdback percentage has been exceeded. This uses a denser packing which no longer tries as hard to allocate space to reduce seeks. It tries to fully utilize the space in each cylinder group. When a disk fills up, and space rather than time optimization is being performed, extending a file will no longer gaurantee that the next block is anywhere near the previous block. The result is more head movement on average. For some file-systems, large trees of compressed tar files, archival storage, etc., you will not suffer from using space optimization. For live file systems, in which file access, and modification are frequent, you will likely suffer a performance hit on files which were grown extensively after the %90 threshold was reached.. So, the world will not end if you use tunefs. And you will not suffer great performance penalties for doing so. But, there is a trade-off. If you are *really* starved for space, go for it. If you are not, leeave it alone. Try to leave your root partition alone anyway. That fs deserves both the %10 holdback, and aome free space. -- ___ ___ | James E.

The program holds statistics and asks seldom for older (better known) words. At least my wife (to enter the words) and children (to learn them) didn't have problems to use it. The problem might be that you need a microphone (or black hardware) to enter the words, there is no software in there to pronounce written words:-) Thus, you need some extra free space on the harddisk.

Now everything is exactly as it was except for one thing. The NeXT PC serves as an NFS server to both a PC and a Mac. To do this one of the things I used to run was "PCNFSD" which is called rpc.nfsd in NEXTSTEP. Serveral people helped me out with this last time over the net and sent me versions and instructions which made everything work. I've lost all of these!! So help... I need to know where I start rpc.nfsd (i.e. which file I have to edit to get it going) and what file(s) I have to edit in order to export NeXT volumes and a printer. It appears that pcnfsd is expecting /usr/spool/lp as the printer spool directory but I must have been using something else. In any case could some e-mail me specific files that I have to change in order to export say the volume "cat" and the printer "dog" (i.e. the files which pertain to pcnfsd). Thank's a lot.

However at the institute I work for everyone works with Macintosh and MacDraw.

At the moment our secretary has to re-draw everything I make on my NeXT with Draw. You can imagine that she is not too keen about this situation. ;-) So here the question goes: Is there a filter planned between Diagram! and MacDraw? Would that be possible? Does it maybe even exist?

Most editors should be able to handle it, but unfortunately all editors I know first read everything in memory and then start editing. However, I guess that vi (or better yet, vim) and emacs should handle the files best. Both can search and tell the line where you're in. (I always use vim) If you just want to read and not to write the information, I strongly sguggest to use "most". It can search and tell you the line you at, and has the real advantage that it does not read in the whole file, but only how much is really needed. This is faster and saves swapspace. Unfortunately there is no editor that can do this. ;-) Good luck, Gerhard. -- N < principiis obsta! >------------------< PGP Key available on request > N e Gerhard Moeller, Amselweg 16, 26122 Oldenburg (FRG) [*: 02/21/1968] e X Private: gemoe@proximus.north.de Phone (voice): +49-441-507856 X T Uni: Gerhard.Moeller@Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.DE NeXTmail & MIME T NoGeNUG - Northern German NeXT User Group: NoGeNUG@proximus.north.DE

I purchased OpenWrite in April after spending a good chunk of time evaluating it vs. WriteUp; I felt OW to have a nice UI and to be more extensive in its features, and although both apps were young, I felt OW had more potential. So, I'm not *eager* to take AFS up on its offer to switch, but I'll really feel like a chump if Lighthouse guts the Xanthus apps for their OOE, and I'm left with an app that has both its feature-set and buglist frozen in amber for all eternity. Certainly the press release (http://www.lighthouse.com/PressReleases/) gives the impression that this will be the case; the apps involved in the purchase aren't mentioned at all, while the OOE technology is discussed at length. It is worth noting, of course, that the Lighthouse police won't break down my door and delete the app from my hard drive if the company kills it. Still, I bought the app as much for its perceived potential as what it delivered. FWIW, I send mail to info@lighthouse.com, asking about this, and have received no answer to date. Given that they are advertising WriteUp on their home page (and have been for a while), my hopes for a positive (or any) response are not good. Meanwhile, the clock on the AFS offer ticks...

I haven't yet felt the aura of Bill Gates floating about my monitor. (I didn't notice a halo around his head, anyway.) WINDOWS 95 does have lots of advantages, though. And it is important that you make the best possible use of WINDOWS 95 should you decide to fork over your hard- earned bucks to get the second coming of WINDOWS. I have an informative and fun newsletter about the new stuff--and thought you might like to see it. Free, of course. I'm cheap, too! Forgive me, I mean FRUGAL! E-mail me at helpme-95@zoom.com for the newsletter, and I will be most happy to rush it back to you. From one computer user to another--we all try to do this better and faster whether it's our livelihood or our hobby. Try me! C'mon, people, lighten up. It's WINDOWS 95...

Moldier sighed as he looked up to the stars in the dark night sky. "Yeah, sure," replied Scuzzy, "you keep sayin' that but we never go anywhere except those dark buildings where we get to use our flashlights." "Trust me." "Yeah, sure--like I trusted you with my car and you got it all banged up and then left me in the clutches of that alien? I don't trust nobody no more." Moldier begged, "Ah, come on, please let me drive just once more? I promise no more aliens for this week." Scuzzy mumbled under her breath something about red shoes and diaries and handed him the keys. At that moment, the sky above them came alive with lights flashing and weird soundss. "What the @#%?><&???", yelled Moldier as he dove to the ground, grabbing Scuzzy. It was huge and white and was disc shaped with two side rockets. It tried to strafe them with bolts of energy, but luckily missed them. The car, however, got a toasted paint job and the tires melted. Meanwhile, above in the spacecraft, a strange being with pointed ears and his friend were arguing. "Look at that--you MISSED them! I can't believe this!" The friend was having trouble. "I don't know what it is-- I know I programmed this scenario okay." "The pointy- eared fellow laughed and said, "You don't have that new program from Microsoft, do you? How many times did I tell you that it'll make your calculations easier and more accurate? But would you listen to me? Noooooooo!" Church turned around to take a swipe at Speck, but Speck was too fast for him and did a tuck-and- roll out of they way. Church turned again to his computer screen, but Speck stopped him. "Let's try this on my computer," he said. Church gave in grudgingly and Speck set up the run. Down below, Scuzzy and Moldier were zig-zagging through the field, trying to evade the alien ship. I'll get you for this, Moldier," panted Scuzzy, as she dodged another energy bolt. Moldier was too busy to reply, since he was sprinting faster than an Olympic- class runner. Seconds later, after a particularly nasty surge of energy, all that lay in the field were two piles of ash and some melted rubber. "Got em!", yelled Speck. "I told you that program was easier to set up!" Church stood by and glumly replied, "Yeah, but I bet I can beat you the next system we're in. Let's go someplace we've never been before." Speck turned to Church and asked, "Boldly, sir?" "But of course", laughed Church. As the ship turned and soared away, the two friends looked out the window up at the stars in the dark night sky. %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%# For a good time, e-mail me for my newsletter at: helpme-95@zoom.com.

I believe NTSC is common in USA, and conversion may be expensive. However, if enough people wanted NTSC I may get a discount for the conversion - I will find out the cost later this week and post a follow-up. I had not expected so many would like a copy, so I have not done my homework on cost of postage to USA - however I expect to be able to provide copies for 15 or at most 20 pounds in PAL format (about 23-30 dollars). If you are interested, let me know - preferably with NTSC or PAL in subject header to make it easier to calculate numbers for conversion if it is financially reasonable. Regards, Paul Heffernan.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

Both can search and tell the line where you're in. (I > always use vim) Unfortunately that it not the case for Emacs. The standard versions of emacs 18 and emacs 19 up to version 19.28 have a file size limit of 8 MByte. Emacs for NS 4.1 and (I believe) xemacs have been hacked to increase that limit to 32 MByte which should be enough for most practical purposes. Emacs 19.29 finally has done away completely with that limit and file sizes up to the machine wordsize (4 GByte on all current NS machines) are possible. However that change required a major restructuring of Emacs 19 internals and hence is unlikely to find its way into xemacs or Emacs for NS any time soon. Also, no version of Emacs is good at line numbers. Internally Emacs has no concept of lines, but only of characters. So every time you want to find out the current line number, you essentially have to go through the entire file counting the number of newlines before the point. That is what the various emacs functions like e.g. line-number-mode do. For reasonably sized files the delay is hardly noticable on a modern machine. But I'd hate to think how long it would take to calculate the current line at the end of a multi MByte file. I'm afraid Emacs is not the right editor for this purpose. Carl Edman

Well, you can always switch to Emacs for NS. With a single dwrite it goes into ISO Latin-1 mode and will use it for all encoding. And if you really miss vi, you can always run one of the several included vi-under-emacs packages. Carl Edman

Well - your problem can be solved even for 3.x. There is the NewEncoding application, which can change the NEXTSTEP encoding from the NeXTEncoding to virtually any other encoding (some slight limitations, eg you cannot change the hardspace position (0x80)). As soon as the 4.0 is out, the NewEncoding will be _surely_ extended there. BTW, using NewEncoding, we have here couple of NEXTSTEPs using - Latin2 encoding - ISO Latin2 encoding - Windows EE encoding More information available - ask me freely using e-mail. -- Ondra Cada ocs@earn.cvut.cz NeXTMAIL and MIME OK

I can then press CTRL-C several times and then it hangs telling me that it cannot open /etc/exports ... and after many more CTRL-C presses it finally says the boot is complete and I get a mouse pointer and a black screen FOREVER! Well, at least until I press the reset button. I have tried, in single user mode after a hang, changing /etc/hostconfig one option at a time and I have it pegged to everything BUT the time and hostname field. Whenever anything else is changed it hangs. I have even gone so far as to copy everything from the NSFIP 3.3 CDROM /etc to //etc which resets all netinfo related things. At which point I repeat everything else and generally it hangs in other nasty ways. I am at a loss here.

I believe quoting in this liniar mannar would reduce the number of misquotes and misunderstandings (flames et. al.). You could even get rid of the little '>' symbols since it is clear where each section of text came from and no longer need the '>'s to demonstrate where you are in the nest. 2) To have an option that will auto-matically re-wrap text to 75 columns or so, much like the TickleServices script that many of us use evertime before we post a message.

But then I was paged from another 3.2 site where the application crashed for the same reason. I looked at the backtrace of the core dump and noticed that each funtion or method has a different entrant address than the one on 3.3, for the same executable. My understanding is since my developer version is 3.2, it won't make any difference on whether the program is running on 3.2 or 3.3, but I am obviouly wrong. Can anyone explain a little bit?

I guess by "Softwindows" you are refering to SoftPC for Windows. The SoftPC factsheet [http://www.insignia.com/documents/5507.html] says - "SoftPC 4.0 takes advantage of the native Intel processor to maximize performance. This technology, combined with special NeXT technology for improving graphics speed, results in 486-level performance from your DOS ----------------------- and Windows applications. ". It could be something with your particular install. We have been using it and it is slow but definately not 8088 level performance. Maybe you should call Insignia [Tel: 508-682-7600] and hopefully their technical staff might be able to help. They were pretty responsive when I was trying to install SoftPC.

". > SoftPC4.0 "takes advantage of the native Intel processor" if you HAVE a native Intel processor. The original poster whas a NeXT Dimmension system - 68K based. This is NOT a "REAL HIGH END SYSTEM" anymore - it least in terms of mips, which is where SoftPC needs it. On an intel box you should get 486(ish!) performance, but be realistic - a real modern PC is about six times faster than the black NeXT systems, and you've got the emulation overhead as well. With a Dimmension system you should therefore expect to get prehaps 1/10th of the speed of a modern PC. The claimed performance on black is(was) that of a 12MHz 286. If you consider the performance of the 68K processor then thats a pretty reasonable target. The reason we could sell something like that, was that AT THE TIME thats what PCs ran like - that version of the Software is about 5 years old, running on five year old hardware, and runs like a five yer old PC! If your getting performance worse than that, then prehaps you have a config problem, and we might be able to help, but I suspect that its simply that your expectations are unrealistic. Remember how much software has bloated in the last few years - find some five year old Windows software, and it actually runs pretty well. Ian

This will probably be added in the next version (if we figure out how). Currently available is the source code (with PB file, etc) and a m68k executable. The files are available (or will be shortly) as ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/code/PingPong.tar.gz and ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/code/PingPong.src.tar.gz or on WWW page under http://www.rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de/~alexlehm/png/png.html For anywho who is not familar with the PNG effort, PNG is a bitmap image file format, which is intended to obsolete GIF, which is now taxed by Unisys due to their LZW patent. It uses the deflate (zip) compression algorithm which usually leads to files 10-20% smaller than the GIF or TIFF representation. Also supported are 24 bit images and alpha channel plus a few other features.

Any other leads for : making portable tiffs and gifs? What is the problem with NEXT tiffs and : gifs? Thanks for the info EPS - There may be font problems, but I have transferred EPS images to a mac with no difficulties. Note, macs do not directly support display of EPS files, so if you want to see the image on the screen in your word processor (like FrameMaker or Word), you need to make a special EPS file with a preview image imbedded in it. Ghostscript contains a utility that does this conversion. In any case, printing on a postscript printer should work even if you can't see the image on the screen. TIFF - The only problem here is compression. NeXTs support the full range of compressions in the TIFF standard. Most machines don't. On non-NeXTs it depends on the specific program you're using. Storing a tiff with no compression is the safest way, but images are extremely large. You can use tiffutil to change the compression used on a tiff image. GIF - There should be no problem with GIFs or JPGs created on NeXTs. I have gone both ways (mac/pc <-> NeXT) MANY times with no problems. If you're having problems with this, I suspect it's something wrong with the way you're getting the files from one machine to another. If you're using FTP make sure you're using binary mode, not text mode for GIFs and TIFFs, and use text mode for EPS. Copying to disk should work ok, but again in some cases the CR/LF issue comes into play. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Ludtke | Physics Dept., Rice Univ. steve@ion.rice.edu | stevel@alumni.caltech.edu | * Those who do ARE * 72335,1537 @ compuserve | The converse also holds

Sort of. There is a way around this which I stumbled onto by accident and then found out that everyone around me had known about for a long time. Unhide Preferences.app and <control>-click on the hated module and drag it off to the right hand side. That way when you click onto Preferences.app, it will not be first. You can arrange all the modules exactly as you wish with the <control>-drag method (or, for you non-GUI types, you can fiddle with the order via 'dwrite Preferences LayoutOrder' if you feel comfortable doing that. When I tried it and messed up,I simply dremoved the prefrece and it reverted to the original setup before I messed with it). Hope that helps. I'd _still_ like to know how to _autoload_ preferences, so this message doesn't appear in console.log when Preferences.app is unhidden for the first time: /LocalLibrary/Preferences/Whatever.preferences needs to be autoloaded TjL -- Timothy J.

The only thing utilities add is a preview bitmap image that allows for previewing the image on a dump operating system incapable of rendering PostScript. If you don't need that feature, there's no need to convert. BUT: PostScript is a text (ASCII) format, and thus subject to all problems relating to the use of line terminator chars between platoforms.

Even worse, some NeXT applications apparently don't support alpha channels, I remember one app that constantly gave error messages until I disabled it and used Icon or something. One other problem with exchange of TIFFs may be the endian indication that TIFF uses. Other than e.g. GIF or JPEG, TIFFs may either be stored in little endian (like Intel) or big endian (like Motorola) format, marked by either II or MM at the start of the file. It seems like some broken TIFF readers only support the native CPU format. Depeding on whether you are on a black or white NeXTstep (since Mac is big endian), the may be a problem. pnmtotiff is capable of writing both formats, so that can be used to fix it. bye, Alexander -- Alexander Lehmann, | "On the Internet, alex@hal.rhein-main.de (plain, MIME, NeXT) | nobody knows alexlehm@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de (plain) | you're a dog." http://www.rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de/~alexlehm |

That's not the point... The problem is that texts I write with ISO encoding cannot be used throughout the NEXTSTEP system. For example at the moment I use a terminal with ISO encoding connected to my NeXT. When I type Umlauts, they get encoded in ISO. Now when I'm back at my NeXT and open them in Edit.app or move them to DataPhile or do whatever with them I get garbage. The other way round it is the same unfortunate situation. When I write something in German on the NeXT and later work eith it from the terminal, I get garbage again. So I have to make really heavy use of recode. (Yes, I have mapped recode to a key...) But sometimes it is not so obvious whether a certain text has to be recoded from or to ISO or if the text has been recoded already to the right format. Using emacs with ISO encoding would be the same using the terminal. Besides, I really like emacs, but I use vim as it is much faster starting up.

Of course you can always rename them. However, if you need them rarely but you need them, you can drag the preference modules inside the preferences with the Control key down. So just Ctrl-Drag the modules that take long to activate to the end of the list.

To do this, use the ps4014 emulator in the extended distribution: ps4014 -R -S 7 < infile.tek > outfile.ps The resulting ps file can be viewed using Preview. You can also run it through Darcy Brockbank's program ps2eps and produce an eps file that can inserted into documents, etc. X Windows. This gives you access to the many graphics tools, including spinplots, scatterplots, histograms, box plots, etc. Make the following changes to the modifiable part of the Makefile will compile xlispstat using co-Xist libraries for X Windows. It assumes that you have installed co-Xist and xlispstat in the default location. I'm told that it also compiles with mouseX, but haven't checked this myself. ------------------------------cut here---------------------------------- #Makefile for xlispstat #Minor modifications by Hal Varian (HRV) for NeXT

Don't worry. If all it took to destroy an operating system's C2 security rating was to run some other software on top of it, then C2 security would not be worth all that much would it? Security depends primarily upon the operating system and file system. Since the NEXTSTEP *operating system* is based in large part upon BSD Unix, it is no suprise that it would not ever be a candidate for a high security certification. Unix was definitely NOT designed to be a secure operating system. But OpenStep is NOT an operating system. It is an API - effectively a library of classes that applications can use to manage GUIs among other things. There can/are/will be several OpenStep implementations - for different operating systems (NT/Unix/Solaris) -- Alex Blakemore alex@genoa.com NeXT, MIME and ASCII mail accepted

A solution is to use PowerScan.app that we got with a HSD scanner. It can open *.fax files directly and can display/page-forward/reverse through multipage documents, and can forward faxes without degradation of quality, as it does not shrink pages by 5%. I don't know the status of HSD. Other scanner application may work as well. All other paint/image viewer apps I tried failed to deal with multi-page tiff files (which *.fax files are) correctly.

If it is possible for some add-on routines to break the security of the operating system, then the operating system was not secure to start with. NeXTSTEP is an operating system.

It isn't able to play at least 5% of the AVI files on our server. And exactly 0% from the most popular AVI formats. The reason is quite simply: it can't support the interesting CODECs. > Of course one cannot run Windows DLL code on a NEXTSTEP system, > but DLLs are just a mechanism for dynamic loading and sharing > of library code. In NEXTSTEP you can implement the same "generic > way" by using shared libraries, NXBundles, etc. ... After five years of NEXTSTEP development we noticed that there are bundles and shared libraries and that a MS DLL is not compatible on another system. But that doesn't solve the problem, that most of the interesting CODECs used aren't available in source as that you could make a bundle out of them. AVI ist just a file name with some certain agreements about it's iternal structure. It doesn't say very much about the data format used in that file. It could be plane RGB or a vendor specific encoded compression. To be able to read and display the data you need a module/component/DLL or whatever, which is able to decode that compression. Most AVI files are based on the VfW DLLs, you can have that as part of VfW, and play back such movies on W.. again. But as long as MS wont make a component for NEXTIME or publish the source, you won't be able to use that format on NS. The same it is for QuickTime and NEXTIME. > > ALSO what do people think of NeXTIME??? What can it play? > NeXTIME plays Quicktime movies (.mov format), but: not all > compressions are supported either. Have a look in the /NextLibrary/NEXTIME/Components directory, and you'll know what it might be able to decode. BTW you would write NT component to integrate a new format in NT, not a bundle. This is not intended to be a flame, but may be to bring a bit more light into that animation file-vs.-format problem. -- jens ch. gloede ____________________________________________________________ interpersonal-computing Imagination.

Many applications claiming to read most classes of TIFF fail when trying to read TIFF images with 4 bits/sample. Class R TIFF readers are not required to read 4 bits/sample. Our commercial application, Pixel Magician, can handle this problem by writing either an 8 bit paletted tiff or a true color 8 bits/sample tiff. Pixel Magician also has other output options that ensure that the resultant TIFF image can be read by applications on other platforms. Eric Bloom Bacchus, Inc. eric@bacchus.com

The appropriate libraries are linked into the bottom of the Web page Alexander mentions -- I sure wish I had scrolled down before posting. Even with the appropriate libraries, though, I can't get this to build, as it appears that certain elements of the libraries only work for the moto architecture (at least, that's how I interpret the error messages in ProjectBuilder).

It's very robust, the inspector for it is one of the more roubust and well laid out chart controlling mechanisms I've seen. The only thing that is missing in the way of charts are 3D charts. I'm hopeful those will come soon. Also they added, what I gues most closely resembles 'pull down shades' for getting new rows or columns onto the spreadsheet. It's a little different from the old Lotus 'toilet paper rolling.' I like it, its neeto. The only other shortcoming is that it still cannot open binary lotus improv files, so you'll have to convert them to .ipx (the lotus improv ascii format) first.

Let's call such language GUINIB and assume its syntax and semantics is an officially established (even very complex) NS standard. An implementation of the public domain parser of GUINIB wouldn't be a difficult task for the community of NextStep Programmers. The 'next&final step' would be a construction of the compilers, which translate GUINIB to other platforms e.g. X-Windows, MS-Windows and whatever you want. I find the NS GUI-objects hierarchy so smart, transparent and intuitively convincing, that finding their equivalents on other platforms shouldn't be a big problem - for gurus on each other platform in any case ... Conclusion: Making the output of the InterfaceBuilder accessable, would speed up the expansion of the software constructed under NS and would attract much more attention to InterfaceBuilder as a fast prototyping tool. Since the whole project is conceptually and technically `relatively' easy, what's actually the reason why such option doesn't exist ? I'd be very interested in your opinion on the topic above.

Thanks for the tip. > My question is wouldn't faxing out through one of these apps still require > the document going through the faxing program and thereby getting mauled? > Or is it just FaxReader that creates this problem? Fax files are still in the form of bitmaps usually with 1728 pixels along H dimension and variable # of rows (depending of sheet length and low/high resolution). Yes, it is still tricky with any other program to get exact 1:1 mapping to duplicate the original for forwarded faxes, but it is possible with proper scaling. It would be best if, for fax forwarding, the process of converting fax tiff to PostScript and rerendering at 200x100 or 200x200 (again) is bypassed, except for the cover page, since *.fax files are already in the desired form. It's too messy to make special handling work, however. I suppose this is a constant problem, as someone said, in preparing pre-press stuff that includes scanned images. You have to carefully choose resolution of original photo scans to the resolution of final output devices to prevent Moire patterns. And the same problem applies to faxes, except that the problem for regular fax is not Moire patterns, but legibility of small font text and graphics due to resampling of original bitmaps at the time of PS rendering. At the least, 95% shrinking should not be done, which seems to be hardcoded in FaxReader.app. Even if you use PowerScan or Pixel Magician for priting/forwarding, you still need FaxReader to obtain fax files via network from the fax server. There is a way to open fax files directly in PowerScan from FaxReader's received fax list by using a service with an undocumented "NeXT temporary filename pasteboard type". -- Izumi Ohzawa <izumi@pinoko.berkeley.edu> [ $@Bg_78^=;(J ] USMail: Univ. of California, 360 Minor Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720-2020 Tel: 510-642-6440, Fax: 510-642-3323, (NeXT & MIME mails welcome)

It doesn't have anything to do with OmniWeb vs. Netscape. Rather, it's an issue of what gamma factor the monitor you're using is. If you want the images to look right on other systems, there are utilities to do gamma correction, but then they'll look wrong on YOUR system, as well as some others. The only real solution is to use an image format that supports gamma encoding, such as PNG and some (all?) TIFF variants. Then the image viewer should theoretically read what gamma factor the original image was intended for, and correct it to your monitor's particular gamma. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nathan Urban | e-mail: nurban@mail.vt.edu Undergraduate {CS,Physics}, Virginia Tech | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

SoftPC would have to do better than to emulate a 286, which it > does not at present except for some minor exceptions. I'll confirm that (semi-officialy). Strictly, the problem isn't that we're doing a 286 - we actually use the processor that you have, and let it run almost all the instructions, so 486 _instructions_ are OK (run msd, and it'll spot a 486). The problem is with the Ring 0, windows DPMI routines which have to be specially handled - NeXTStep needs to have control over the system descriptor tables, so the windows ones can't work. We therefore have to emulate bits of the windows memory management routines. These we do to the standard of a 286 + a few extensions. win95 would need a new set of routines to handle its MM routines on an Intel based SoftPC. Ian

Printing is one of the few things I haven't changed! I wasn't aware that printing was a problem - printing to a Postscript printer from DOS should only be a problem if your DOS software can't drive postscript (just like a real PC).

Here it is! I should warn you that this will just kill the app -- it will not give you a chance to save files, nor will it bring up a nice panel asking if you really meant to do that. To use it, simple hold down alternate and right click on any window owned by the application or its icon on the dock. This will not kill some apps like Terminal because they run as root. In order to install it, you will have to edit /usr/lib/NextStep/windowpackage.ps. Make sure that you make a backup of this file before editing it! It is owned by root, so not just anyone can do this. Below are the lines that should be inserted (somewhere around line 1319 on 3.3 systems). You end up replacing rmdownEvProc, the procedure that gets executed when a normal window receives a right mouse down. The commented out procedure at the bottom shows what the original looks like. Disclaimer: you should not attempt this if you do not know what you are doing. You may be unable to log in (you will have to boot single user to restore the windowpackage.ps) if you mess it up. You can kill apps that you did not mean to kill. I cannot be responsible for what happens!

If you don't have Partner but are looking to do file sharing between Mac and NEXTSTEP, you might consider running NFS/Share on the Mac. There's a support bulletin on our web site that explains how to do it: http://www.gscorp.com/Support_Bulletins.html Making the NEXTSTEP (server) machine "speak AppleTalk" has the advantage of requiring no changes on the Apple (client) side. Running NFS/Share on the Macs has the advantage of better performance (TCP/IP and NFS are more efficient protocols than AppleTalk & AppleShare), but require that MacTCP be installed and configured and installed on each Mac.

A quick example is Print. In almost any app you find, pressing COMMAND and p will bring up the Print window. Well, some menu items don't have keys assigned to them, so you can add your own in the form: dwrite AppName NXCommandKeys MenuItem,key. However, this can be tedious and rather cumbersome, especially when trying to add a new menu item to an existing list. HOW IT WORKS (if it works ;-) 1) Copy everything from the #!/bin/sh line and below and put it into an Edit window (non RTF). 2) save it 3) do 'chmod 755 WhateverYouSavedItAs'. 4) Move the file to some folder in your $PATH 5) type 'rehash' on the commandline. Then invoke it as yourPrompt> WhateverYouSavedItAs It will ask you for the name of the app (ie Mail, Edit, etc), and then the menu item (be sure to enter it EXACTLY as it appears in the Menu) and then it will ask you for the key you want to assign to it. Then it will ask you if you want to do it all over again for another entry.... and so on. NOTE: you can make NXCommandKeys for every app through the Preferences.app, or using this script and telling it to use the app "System" NOTE2: if you want to make NXCommandKeys for the File Viewer, you have to call the app WM. This took me a little while to figure out. Robert Nicholson <robert.nicholson@mccaw.com> gets an honorable mention as provding me with the 'sed' line I needed (see below) This all came about because I just bought a book on UNIX: Title: Inside UNIX Authors: Chris Hare, Emmett Dulaney, George Eckel Publisher: New Riders Publishing, Indianapolis, IN ISBN: 1-56205-401-5 Year: 1994 Cost: $40 (US) Which I found to be the best UNIX book around for an intermediate user like myself (someone who has used UNIX and knows the common commands, but doesn't know all that much about some of the more complex commands). The book also comes with a disk of all the scripts in the book (which unfortunately has DOS ^M at the end of each line ;-) That plus the UNIX FAQ from comp.unix.questions was all it took (well, with the exception of the little 'sed' help previously mentioned) Consider the script email-ware... if you like it, send me email, if you don't well, it's free! If you know how to improve it, by all means let me know.... I'm new at this and pieced this together from other people's work....

Correct your image for NEXTSTEP and it looks too dark under Windows. I wrote and use McFilter (yet another image filter service) under NEXTSTEP for on-the-fly gamma correction for GIFs and JPEGs. It allows one to correct images for other platforms, yet still view them satisfactorily using NS. A version which supports transparent GIFs is included on the latest TIFFany CD and is the last version I'll produce. If there's interest, I'll post this final version to the NeXT FTP sites.

I was interested in the graphics package that has been added. I loaded in some of my data and tried to make some charts, but so far, I am not impreseed, except for one thing You can set the date scaling on the X-axis. We found you can copy formulae directly from Improv to Quantrix, but we had to do it one formula line at a time, which could be a problem for a large list. However, being able to do it at all is a great conversion tool. They all worked exactly the same. This is a nice touch. Beyond that, compared to Improv, the plotting capabilities still seem primitive in many respects. In particular, there does not seem to be a way to overlay a broken line on a solid line, which is important to me. Where the line breaks, Quantrix seems to assume the value is zero. I use this capability in Improv to plot the S&P and to show on it when our indicators are positive and negative. A lay in a light grey line chart of the S&P and on top of it I put a black line chart of the S&P when we are positive. The underlying grey line then shows when we are negative. It is a very neat trick that Improv does beautifully but Quantrix may not be able to do at all. Quantrix may do this but we couldn't figure out how last night. Another thing I do in Improv is to stack two or more charts on a page. I may plot the S&P in the top clip and then show some idicator in the bottom clip. Quantrix may do this, too, but we couldn't figure out how last night. ----- Bob Peirce Venetia, PA 412-941-6883 me@venetia.pgh.pa.us [HOME (NeXT)] rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us [OFFICE]

In the UK there seems to be two forms of training courses. A five day and a 12 week (normally with 12 people on site).

It would affect my project, but I don't know how much I would gain or loose in time to deliever. I have managed to pick up an adequate understanding of a language within 4 to 6 weeks (eg Pascal, Clipper, Visual BASIC, Informix/Brock) in order to start producing reasonable code. I have already spent this amount of time on NeXTSTEP without achieving the same level of understanding. I don't have a gauge to compare, so I don't know if this is slow going or 'normal'. - How good are these courses? - What preparation is sensible to get the most out of them. - Are there alternative training materials available?

But that's beside the point. You were on the right track to solve your problem. Start loading the group, and go the bottom and note the largest article number. Then, edit your .newsrc, go to the proper line, and add " 0-95000" (no quotes of course). You'll have to put a comma and a space before it if there are any other numbers on the line. Next time you start NewsGrazer, it should say "No unread articles" when you pick that group. What finally made me give up on NewsGrazer is groups like comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.misc, where there are presently articles that reference a large number of newsgroups.

As I mentioned to the original author, the best solution I know of would be to change to the manual retrieval PLUS getting CheckMail.app (formerly called MailCall.app) ftp://peanuts.leo.org/pub/comp/platforms/next/Mail/apps/CheckMail.3.1.NIHS.b.tar.gz CheckMail checks your mail every 10 seconds or so, and pops up a little window showing you the FROM and SUBJECT line of the mail AND will show you if the message has a MIME or NEXTMAIL attachment. CheckMail creates a file in /tmp called MailHeaders.$USER (which it removes when you quit the APP) which holds the FROM, SUBJECT and attachment information, so you can check the file to see a) if you have mail and b) if the mail has attachments. It is very helpful when working to tell you whether your waiting mail merits immediate attention or "eventual" attention.

Well that's fine and as I said, I appreciate that people are interested in updating NS apps. But the demo version which is around is version 3.0 I believe.... what happened to v1.0? I wish it had been left around so that those of us who didn't mind not having all the new features could still use an earlier, if less fancy, version. (for those who are wondering, the reason I didn't keep v 1.0 myself was that it was on an NFS system I was on, until the new version came out, and the sys admins removed the old version, and v1.0 was just gone from all the ftp sites.)

I am now trying to run it on my NeXTstation 040, running NS 3.0. My ppp link is dynamic as opposed to static. When I access my ppp account, I interrupt kermit and try running the pppgo script from the distribution (I've modified the IP addresses and phone numbers). I then get a continuous stream of what looks like a mixture of garbage and messages, where the messages repeatedly say "sent id n", where n steadily increments. I am unable to kill the process without closing my terminal (turning off the modem has no apparent effect). I can't tell if my ppp connection has actually been established at this point. Upon boot up, I see a series of ppp related messages, including "server ppp starting up" in the boot up monitor. I've never tried to configure a ppp account before, so if anyone has experience with this particular package and would be willing to give some email help, I'd really appreciate it.

Another alternative would be to use one of the other newsreaders that are now available for NeXTSTEP. If you're into "free", there's Alexandra.app: ftp://eclipse.its.rpi.edu/NeXT/usenet/Alexandra_f There are also a few other commercial (and reasonably priced) newsreaders available. Um.

There is a setting in 'stty' that's being automatically setup for you when you telnet in. Sometimes the setting is turned on when it should not be.

It's not really a matter of your .cshrc files, it's being setup automatically based on negotiations between the two sides of the telnet connection.

NeXTMail sucks the messages out of /usr/spool/mail and sticks them in a file where neither your POP daemon nor /bin/mail can find them. Either set NeXTMail to only check the mail spool manually, turn NeXTMail off entirely, or accept that you cannot access those messages from your PC. Jacques Distler

I assisted Jean Fran ois Groff to give the Developers Workshop here in Geneva last year. You will save yourself a tremendous amount of time by taking the course, rather than simply taking it on by yourself. Sensible preparation would be to first start with a quick review of the C language. I highly recommend C by Dissection, The Essentials of C Programming Al Kelley & Ira Pohl The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc 2727 Sand Hill Road Menlo Park, California 94025 copyright 1987 (may have been updated since then) ISBN 0-8053-6861-2 You will want a reference book for Objective C, the language. You will probably want to pick up a copy of OBJECTIVE C Object-Oriented Programming Techniques Lewis J. Pinson & Richard S. Wiener Addison-Wesley Publishing Co., Reading Massacheusetts, Menlo Park California, New York, Don Mills Ontario, Wokingham England, Amsterdam, Bonn, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo, Madrid, San Juan, Milan, Paris copyright 1991 (has been reprinted with corrections-get the latest) ISBN 0-201-50828-1 -this compared the Stepstone (rights recently were purchased by NeXT) and NeXT versions of Objective C, so this might give you some hints of NeXT's future plans... Focus particularly on the way classes/ objects are designed. Study the concepts rather than the details. This way you get the maximum from your course. Alternate & Additional Training Material NeXTSTEP Programming Step One: Object - Oriented Applications Simson L. Garfinkel & Michael K. Mahoney TELOS- The Electronic Library of Science, Springer Verlag New York Inc. Springer Verlag Publishers 3600 Pruneridge Avenue, Suite 200 Santa Clara, CA 95051 Copyright 1993 ISBN 0-387-97884-4 An excellent book, with diskette of examples particularly valuable for its description of the Text object, RTF, Multiple Processes, Client/Server example, Multi-threading - a must read for these juicy subjects to make your applications real killers... You may want to browse through once and give it a second pass later after the following. NeXTSTEP Programming Concepts and Applications Alex Duong Nghiem P T R Prentice-Hall Inc. Tel. 201-592-2863 Fax. 201-592-2249 copyright 1993 ISBN 0-13-605916-3 Well written, more basic text, with excellent references, illustrations The latest book out is by Gene Backlin, Developing NeXTSTEP Applications SAMS Publishing 201 West 103rd Street Indianapolis, Indiana 46290 ISBN 0-672-30658-1 You get a very good for beginners, with accompanying diskette. I have been reviewing it, making suggestions to improve it. There may be a second printing coming up soon. Check before you buy. This last book is the only one to have a whole chapter on drag and drop, making it worthwhile to add to your bookshelf. This last book is more oriented for the self-learner than the others... Type your own version of each file yourself and try to compile. You will be amazed at your own typing mistakes. The point is you will learn to figure out the compiler error messages, right away, because you can always look at the code as per the accompanying diskette. You do not get the theory here, but the nitty gritty to get going. You will build lots of small applications with this book, building a solid foundation. To thoroughly learn a subject, you always need to work with several texts in parallel. The advantage is that some cover the subject in greater depth, or from their own unique angle. The ideal is to do a Chapter or two of the books of your choice each day. Write lots of apps! (Make sure you have a good wrist support). Gerold Rupprecht Geneva, Switzerland

Compile with the "-pipe" option to the compiler. It will use pipes for communication between the stages of the compiler instead of creating files in /tmp. Of course, this is very memory-intensive. Your system should have at least 24 MB of RAM for this to improve compilation speed, and 32 MB or more would be recommended. Pay attention to vm_stat. The general case of creating a filesystem in system RAM is supported under some versions of Unix (the "tmpfs" filesystem under Solaris, for example), but does not currently exist under NEXTSTEP. However, Unix systems buffer filesystem activity *much* better than the DOS/Windows world does, and NeXT's Mach kernel performs better than most other Unix systems in this regard. You can almost always do whatever work you want via pipes instead of via temp files in a RAMdisk, so the lack simply doesn't matter. > If as I suspect this does not exist, has anyone compared compilation > times using a flash or DRAM based PCMCIA disk card against those when > using a fast SCSI or EIDE drive? You certainly do *not* want to use a flash-RAM disk card as a general-purpose RAMdisk. Flash RAM can only be written to on the order of 10,000 times or so, and then you can't change it's data any more. -Chuck -- Charles Swiger -- chuck@its.com | Information Technology Solutions, Inc. --------------------------------+--------------------------------------- CrashCatcher Development, Systems and Networking Administrator

I >really don't want to allocate 1.2gigs to win95, so is there a solution to >partitioning this drive with one partition DOS and the other NS? The booter stashes away bios information about each dos partitioned drive so the kernel and things like disk and fdisk can be smart about finding things. Unfortunately this info is constructed in a weird manner by the bios and the kernel can't really guess how the bios will claim the disk is laid out (since PC bios' are brain dameaged and lie about these things). Anyway, the booter asked the bios about your third drive and the bios effectively replied "I ain't tellin." So fdisk can't fill in the fields in the partition table. Still you may not be SOL. Try moving the drive to make it the second one. I bet the bios will then give up the goods on the drive and you will probably be able to partition it. Then when you move it back to the third drive, the kernel (I think) will only use the absolute numbers from the partition table to find the NS partition. It should work just fine, since NS only needs the bios numbers to boot from a disk or to create dos partitions. cheers, -sam

I remember running into this problem several months back in NCSA HTTPD v1.3. I didn't make any notes on how I fixed the problem (nor did I RCS the changes...), but a brief look back at the source code jogged my memory. I don't have the original source code to compare, but I think I just added the following lines to httpd.h: #ifdef NEXT #define HTTP_TIME_FORMAT "%A, %d-%b-%y %H:%M:%S GMT" #else #define HTTP_TIME_FORMAT "%A, %d-%b-%y %T GMT" #endif The NEXTSTEP strftime function doesn't support %T. Again, this code may have already been in the original NCSA HTTP 1.3 and I may be confusing this problem with another problem somewhere else. If this indeed fixes the time stamp problem, I hope it helps someone out. Peter Wyngaard InterConnect of Ann Arbor

Matlab-for-PCs runs in "enhanced mode" even though the box doesn't list it as one of the requirements. SoftPC doesn't emulate enhanced mode. Hence, Matlab won't run on SoftPC. I don't know of any way to get Matlab to run on NeXTStep. If someone else knows of a way, I hope they speak up. Eric

I'm not sure of this, but it seems to me that most apps these days require v3.2 (a handful require 3.3, more will as time goes on). In my opinion, the supply of word processor/DTP software on NS is very limited and not having the latest version of the OS limits it further. Since it will take some money to upgrade your cube to a workable point, I'd recommend considering another platform to do word processing/DTP on. For whatever reason, NS just isn't the place to get good apps with consistant support. OpenWrite, the best general-purpose native word processor for NS, probably needs v3.x and the support for it is uncertain. It's not the most capable app and the UI needs a lot of work also. FrameMaker is also your best choice for long and regular DTP on NS. PasteUp is another choice, but it is really not going to compare well in the same area as Frame, and I think you'll find better layout apps on the Mac (perhaps even cheaper and definately used by more people). FrameMaker on NS is also largely unsupported and you'll be paying a lot of money for old software if you invest in FrameMaker 3.2 for NS (money you could have spent on the latest Frame if you move to Windows or the Mac). Pages recently went out of business (another company now handles the app) and it lacks an design model editor, so you're stuck with whatever design models you purchase (or whatever ones you're willing to pay for). Given the price of Pages, I don't find that an attractive option. > Maybe that Mac Emulator? and anything else that may be interesting.. Unless you simply *must* make use of your cube, I recommend getting a real Mac over getting an emulated Mac. Daydream, the only NS Mac emulator that will give you near-100% emulation, is slower than the Power Macs you can get today. If you buy a new Power Mac you will get PCI slots (which stand a much better chance of being able to support current video/audio/etc boards than a NeXT cube). Lighthouse recently released a spreadsheet that looks quite a bit like Lotus Improv, check their web page for details. I don't use spreadsheets every day, so I don't have too much comment on this particular app, but I'd be a little hesitant about buying this app because I've not found Lighthouse to be so responsive in bug-fix upgrades (e.g., WetPaint and Diagram) or telling people what will happen to apps (e.g., OpenWrite).

I "sovled" (if you can call it that :-) my problem by *temporarily* disabling my internal disk (already partitioned into two drives, both DOS), and setting my *external* disk to SCSI 0. When the Adaptec sees only the *one* drive on the system, it seems very happy with that one drive. I think you will be able to partition it any way you like. Once built, I reconnected my internal disk, and reset the external disk to sd2. (Stay with me now ... :-) OK. Now, I can no longer boot NS directly from the boot partition of my internal drive (as there is no way that I can determine to mention a different scsi device from the one that got booted, sigh :-(). Here's what I do. First, on my *external* disk, I change the /etc/fstab to mount /dev/sd2a onto / rather than the default sd0a. Now, whenever I want to boot NS (this gets gross, but works flawlessly :-), I stop the boot process with a CTRL-A (the Adaptec utitilies entry point), and then I DISABLE BIOS SEARCH FOR SD0! NS then automatically boots off of my second drive. I do have to supply the parameter: rootdev=sd2a (at the Boot: prompt). Whew! I know this is a little convoluted, but it does work and gives me tremendous flexibilty. You can also easily boot off of a floppy and say "rootdev=sd2a" as well and that will work fine as well. I personally prefer the adaptec way, though lord knows why. P.S. even when disabling the bios scan for sd0, the drive still *automatically* mounts as /ms_dos_6 on my NS drive so it is completely available. It was only cut out during the bios scan, not disabled completely from the adaptec card! Feel free to drop me a line if this stuff isn't clear enough. -- Hadar Pedhazur Global Equity Derivatives Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS)

This may mean that no solution that requires the Zyxel modem (on the Cube) will work (if the serial port can't keep up).

Date: Wed, 13 Sep 1995 10:34:38 GMT Hi All, I ran across the following problem under NS 3.3 Intel. I booted to the single-user mode with the root device on CD-ROM. I wanted to mount the floppy on the /tmp for the obvious reason, but I cannot. The mount response is as follow: # /etc/mount -n /dev/fd0a /tmp mount: /dev/fd0a on /private/tmp: Read-only file system mount: giving up on: /private/tmp # I can mount floppy on non-existing directory without any problems. The previous mount command on /tmp works well under 3.2 Intel in the same situation. This bug(?) makes the emergency single-user boot from CD-ROM under NS 3.3 Intel almost unusable for any serious work.

Date: 14 Sep 1995 09:12:37 GMT Organization: Network Intensive Message-ID: <438rm5$esb@ni1.ni.net> References: <RDL.95Sep13002931@world.std.com> First, just so that no one gets the wrong impression. A Pentium 90 w/32meg is more than enough computer to run and compile under NeXTStep. This machine "feels" faster under NeXTStep than it does under either Windows 3.1 or NT. Nonetheless, while doing a complete build I was hearing a great deal of disk I/O, which in my mind meant a fast processor was wasting time. Incorrectly, I thought this was mostly the compiler writing object files to disk (about 1 meg's worth in the test project). The consensus recommendation was that I should use the -pipe compiler switch. At best this made no difference and at worst it was 5-20% slower. Chuck Swiger and Michal Jaegermann suggested I use vm_stat to see why the -pipe switch did not help. vm_stat showed that a substantial amount of swapping was occurring in my system. Furthermore, doing a ps axv showed me what I should have known and that is that I do not really have as much free memory as I thought. In particular the fact that I am running the display at full color gobbles up memory (about 2x what another machine with 16bit color uses). Boy do I feel dumb. :-() The best solution seems to be: get more memory and use the -pipe switch. I'm hoping that an additional 32meg will do it. As for my original concern regarding the time required to write .o files to disk there seems to be no solution under NeXTStep. As pointed out by Chuck Swiger, SUN has a neat little utility called tmpfs which is a sort of dynamically resizable RAMdisk but unfortunately its proprietary and depends upon VM mechanisms in SUN OS's.

The usual caveats apply with free software (a couple of bugs), but the version I'm running is pretty stable and seems to do the job but I haven't pushed it hard yet and haven't actually used Matlab. The normal behaviour is to use the Plplot library which is X11 based, but I've been able to get it running with Gnuplot.app and it seems to work actually pretty well. Most of the code is built on f2c converted FORTRAN libraries which are pretty mature and bug free (it seems), but the main code is C. There is a URL: http://www.eskimo.com/~ians/rlab.html giving the good oil on it.

From: art@cubicsol.com (Art Isbell) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: zsh problem Date: 15 Sep 1995 05:53:54 GMT Organization: Sense Networking Seattle (www.oz.net) Distribution: world Message-ID: <43b4di$os9@emerald.oz.net> Even though NeXT is now including zsh with NS 3.3, I don't recall anyone commenting on it. I use bash now because I prefer a Bourne shell derivative as zsh is. When I visit our other offices, I end up using csh which I don't prefer because bash isn't part of NS, so using zsh is now an option. However, when I make zsh my login shell and Terminal's shell, every time I enter a command, the Terminal window scrolls a full window height. For example, if my Terminal window is 24 rows high when a new shell is opened, the prompt will appear at the top of the window in what appears to be row 1, but 23 or 24 rows of apparently blank lines are above the prompt line with the Terminal window scroller visible. If I enter a command or just press return, another 23 or 24 blank lines appear above the 2 prompt lines which aren't separated by any blank lines and appear normal. If I disable the scrollback buffer, everything seems to work normally, but that's not a feature I want to do without. This sort of feels like some sort of terminal emulation problem although it might be some sort of bad interaction between zsh and the scrollback buffer. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? If so, how does one fix it? Is anyone using zsh? If so, does it work well or is it buggy? --- Art Isbell NeXTmail: art@cubicsol.com NeXT Registered Consultant Voice/Fax: +1 408 335 2515 Trego Systems Voice Mail: +1 408 335 1154 CaseServ: NEXTSTEP managed care US Mail: Felton, CA 95018-9442 contract and case management solutions

Yes, mounting the floppy on nonexistent directory works in particular situation. I already mentioned it in my original post. Unfortunately this does not solve this problem, because the floppy _must_ be mounted on /tmp directory. Remember that the root file system is on CD-ROM and there is a lots of programs like man,vi,more,restore etc., which creates temporary files in /tmp directory. The /tmp directory exist on CD-ROM so the these progmams cannot create their temporary files and fails. The only solution is to mount floppy or another read-write filesystem on /tmp directory. If you do so, you can use these programs. The mounting the floopy on /tmp works under 3.2 (Intel), but it fails under 3.3 (Intel) as far as I can tell. Note: Due to another bug in 3.3, the driverLoader is unusable under 3.3 with file system on 3.3 CD-ROM. Therefore you must have Floppy driver on separate floppy disk and load Floppy driver as external driver.

So connect 2-3 and 3-2 and then (I quote) "pin 20 of the plotter is cross connected to pins 5 and 6 of the computer to implement hardwire handshake".

When I open a new 24-row Terminal window, the prompt is placed on the bottom line of the window because zsh (I guess) has sent 23 carriage returns to Terminal. But Terminal immediately scrolls so that the prompt line appears at the top of the window. When the next command is entered, zsh sends enough carriage returns to again place the new prompt line on its idea of line 24 and Terminal scrolls to keep the two prompt lines at the top of the window. So if a return is entered instead of a command, 22 carriage returns are sent to Terminal to move the prompt line to the bottom of the window. This nonsense stops once 24 prompt lines exist. To see how bizarre this is, open a Terminal window running zsh and scroll it up to the top so that the prompt line is at the bottom of the window. Now press Return. The new prompt line appears to be below the bottom of the window, so scroll down about half way. You'll see prompt lines at the top and bottom of the window. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and you'll see 2 prompt lines at the top. Scroll back to the top and the prompt line that was visible when scrolling down before has disappeared! This is probably more wierd than it is bad. I had thought that each command entry added 24 lines to the terminal buffer, but once 24 lines of output exist, no extra carriage returns appear to be added to the terminal buffer. Must be some sort of termcap problem, or zsh isn't using termcap escapes correctly, or Terminal isn't handling the escapes correctly or is giving zsh bogus info about the row number. Who knows? Who cares? Who else can observe this behavior?

You could use HyperSense, which has built-in commands to easily access the serial ports and send any commands you like. As an interpreted environment, it should be very easy to experiment with sending different commands to your plotter to find out what works. For example, taking the BASIC code sent in by another poster: > 10 OPEN "COM1:9600,S,7,1,RS,CS65535,DS,CD" AS #1 > 20 PRINT #1, "IN;SP1;PA500,500" > 30 PRINT #1, "LBCOMMUNICATION OK"+CHAR$(3) > 40 PRINT #1, "PA1,0;SP0;" > 50 END the equivalent in SenseTalk (HyperSense's scripting language) would be something like: open port a -- (set baudrate & other params. first if needed) write "IN;SP1;PA500,500" & CRETURN to port a write "LBCOMMUNICATION OK" & NumToChar(3) & CRETURN to port a write "PA1,0;SP0;" to port a close port a The nice thing is that you could issue these commands (or variations on them) one at a time from the Message Box to figure out what works, then wrap up the useful functionality into your own commands (moveTo, drawTo, etc.) to make it even easier to work with. You can pick up a copy in the HyperSense directory at ftp.cs.orst.edu and try this in demo mode (get the HyperSenseApp and HyperSenseDocs packages to try this). I'd be happy to help you out if it's not clear how to do what I'm suggesting. Note: As a student, you can buy a full developer license for just $99. Disclaimer Notice: As the chief architect of HyperSense, I can hardly be expected to have an unbiased opinion of the program :-) ... but give it a try -- I think you'll like it!

Date: 19 Sep 1995 03:17:06 GMT Organization: Deakin University Message-ID: <43lcni$57c@sol.ccs.deakin.edu.au> Hello, It is often said that there is a lack of software for the NS OS, but unless I'm mistaken this is also true of accounting software, since I can't find too much. Am I mistaken(?), and if so could someone tell me what software there is. I do know of a couple like CheckSum which is way underpowered for my use, and the Quanta demo which I had a look at but which never really grooved with me. I'd really like something which would enable me to incorporate scanned documents - even if only by having a hot pointer to it so that it would open that document elsewhere in the appropriate application. Actually that may be preferred than having that functionality of storing documents built in? I'd like to be able to import and export figures easily, so that I might be able to do further analysis elsewhere, although I'd still like to have the option to use a certain number of built in reporting function s. One thing I'd like to have also is to be able to manage the accounts of more than one business/entity/company easily. But all these "I'd likes" are not absolutely essential. In the category of absolutely essential I'd be inclined to put such things as: the interface doesn't suck; it has payables and receivables (aka creditors and debtors); is well supported; it allows modification for local rates of unknown taxes and so on (Australia in this instance); it allows modification of presentation of inputting information, reports, etc, again partly for localisation issues. The use to which it would be put is for a couple of small businesses which I alone operate. I doubt if I could use much of the functionality of a larger package initially, but I would ultimately do so and would like to have some of those extra features there. One of which might be one of the nice things about Quanta, which is that it was client/server based, but at the moment that would have to go into the category of the "I'd likes". So can anybody help with info or a pointer to info? Please send any info here or to me via email: thoran@pedder.csse.swin.edu.au. If I get desperate maybe some of those essentials might turn into I'd likes, so send info on anything. If I get emailed any info I'll repost here as a thread unless someone specifically asks me not to. May the smiley be with you, : ),

If I understand you correctly you want to run an "alien" TCP/IP stack on your NeXT at school as well as a ppp emulator. You will then connect to it using another such setup on your home machine. The problem that I see is that you are defeating most of the advantages of having native support for TCP/IP. Furthermore, not only will you have a poorly implemented network but you still have the potential of a security breach due to some obscure hole in your semi-custom and probably little tested schema. My advice is that your network administrators setup a Firewall and locate the student modem pool outside of it. A standard ppp will then work for you and depending on your setup OmniWeb (from what I understand) supports proxy access to the Web. -- Felipe A.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

From: art@cubicsol.com (Art Isbell) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: zsh problem followup Date: 20 Sep 1995 00:43:53 GMT Organization: Sense Networking Seattle (www.oz.net) Distribution: world Message-ID: <43no4a$dvh@emerald.oz.net> Several days ago, I posted about wierd behavior with the version of zsh included with NS 3.3. Basically, zsh sends enough blank lines to the scrollback buffer to position the prompt line at the last row of the window. This happens when a new Terminal window is opened and when a clear command is entered. This can add quite a few blank lines to the scrollback buffer, but isn't a serious problem as problems go. Scott Hess (shess@winternet.com), Terminal and Stuart author and terminal emulator designer extraordiaire, has discovered that zsh is sending the vt100 \E[[J (clear from cursor to end of screen) when it draws its prompt. Scott has suggested adding echo "\033[99H" to .zlogin to cause the prompt line to be positioned at the bottom row so that the number of blank lines is minimized. Aliasing the clear command to include echo "\033[99H" might deal with another aspect of the problem. Frank Siegert (frank@miranda.tue.schwaben.de) has discovered where in zsh source this is happening and has suggested a possible fix for those who wish to rebuild zsh. --- Art Isbell NeXTmail: art@cubicsol.com NeXT Registered Consultant Voice/Fax: +1 408 335 2515 Trego Systems Voice Mail: +1 408 335 1154 CaseServ: NEXTSTEP managed care US Mail: Felton, CA 95018-9442 contract and case management solutions

Don't do that. Make two partitions on the first hard disk. Load up Windows95 first, then NeXTSTEP--not the other way around. I've split up a 700M drive in half for Windows95 and NeXTSTEP. Lot's of room for Windows95, not so much room for NeXTSTEP. NeXTSTEP pretty much fills up the 350M (User + Developer) and leaves about 40M. Better get another drive for all the local stuff (/tmp, /usr/local/..., /LocalApps, /LocalLibrary, /Library, ...) watch that swapfile! There's a NeXTanswers thing that talks about putting DOS and NeXTSTEP on the same machine. It says that you _should_ put both OS's on the same disk to avoid booting off a floppy. It also said that you only need to make a real small partition on the first drive to get NeXTSTEP booting and put most of NeXTSTEP on another drive, but you have to install NeXTSTEP on the second drive first. I _strongly_ urge you to put both Windows and NeXTSTEP on the same drive. I tried to use separate drives at first, but it was a major pain in the **** to do and I gave up after two days. It loads from the CD's ok, but I had a lot of trouble making the second drive the boot drive to finish up the install. Now if only DOS and NeXTSTEP could agree on how to set the real time clock on the PC. I had to resort to ntp to get the time automatically set for me no matter what OS I boot up. Good thing I'm on a network. How do you do this with out an ntp server? PS.

From: anstine@orion.sas.upenn.edu (David R. Anstine) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: Mail.app and .signature Date: 20 Sep 1995 20:12:58 GMT Organization: University of Pennsylvania Message-ID: <43pska$k53@netnews.upenn.edu> Is the following still the recommended way to add a .signature to outgoing messages? If so, where are all the improvements in Mail.app 3.3? -dave #!/bin/sh { if test -r ${HOME}/.add-header; then cat ${HOME}/.add-header; fi cat - if test -r ${HOME}/.signature; then echo "--"; cat ${HOME}/.signature; fi }| /usr/lib/sendmail "$@" A good name for this file would be "sendmail-addheader". If you want to and can install it for system-wide use put this file in e.g. /usr/lib. Otherwise your private ~/Unix/bin directory is also fine. Make certain that this file has execute permission. To set that, use e.g. "chmod 755 /usr/lib/sendmail-addheader". Next, open up the preferences panel in Mail.app. Switch to the expert options. Change the Mailer option from "/usr/lib/sendmail" (which it should originally be) to "/usr/lib/sendmail-addheader" (or whatever the name of the file you created is). OK this and you should be set. From now on your ~/.signature file should always be appended to all mail sent out with Mail.app. In addition if you have a file called add-header in your home-directory it should automatically be prepended to your outgoing mail. To implement a reply-to line, you would simply give it the following content: Reply-to: My Real Human Name <name@my.real.address> IMPORTANT: Make certain that you have one and exactly one newline at the end of ~/.add-header. Anything might break outgoing mail. Beware ! BUG: The ~/.signature file is not added properly for NeXT mail containing attachments. The headers will still be added properly. This could be fixed but probably is more of a hassle than it is worth.

They provide SLIP/PPP connection through the shell, but they must be installed at the server side. You dial into a host running Slirp/TIA and use your normal Slip or PPP implementation at home, activating the shell emulator in your login script. Unless you are dialing into your own NeXT box on campus (in which case you could just install the version of SLIP on the archives), you will have to convince your sysadmin to install "Slirp". I don't know if non-root users can install the shell emulator programs. If you get Slirp installed on the campus server, all you will have to do is get and configure one of the vanilla Slip/PPP programs located on the next ftp sites. I access TIA on mordor.com, and most everything works fine with an old version of DialUp_IP. _steve

Um, I *really* don't want to get into an arguement about all of this. If you can help me, great. If you can't, great. ;-) However, you're wrong. I ran Slirp through my shell account for months without root access. That's the beauty of Slirp. It emulates (fakes) a Slip or PPP connection. If I had root access, why would I screw around with Slirp? I'd have installed PPP from the start. As it was, I ran MacPPP off of my Power Mac at home and, with the aid of Slirp on the Ultrix system we used to have at my school, I was able to surf the WWW from the comfort of my own home. Now that my school has switched all of its systems to NextStep, what I'd like is a Slirp-like program that can be compiled under NS. The one condition is that I have to be able to hook up to it with my Mac (i.e., no Term/Tip Top-like NS to NS programs). So, thank you for the advice. It doesn't help much but I appreciate the effort. If you know of any programs out there that will help me out, let me know. :-) ======= == ====== == ====== == ======= == ====== == ====== == ====== N A T H A N O L S E N nolsen@csulb.edu ======= == ====== == ====== == ======= == ====== == ====== == ======

From there converting them to GIF or JPEG is a simple matter of running them through OmniImage or PixelMagician. Because eXTRATIFF installs as a printer driver, it can be accessed from any app that prints, even from Macs or Windows. The output is excellant. Have a look at our web site: all the graphics were created in Virtuoso and TIFFany II, then output using eXTRATIFF. You can find out more by visiting this page: http://www.gscorp.com/eXTRAPRINT.html In particular, you might want to download the brochure (Acrobat format) and have a look at the "before" and after examples.

So far everytime (if I don't put in either "-v" or "rootdev=sd0a") the hard drive light comes on for about 2 seconds like it's going to boot the OS and the screen goes blank then the server freezes. The system is totally halted and you have to power down and tell it an option at the boot prompt. Everytime I have to boot up you have to enter "-v" or "rootdev=sd0a" at the boot prompt or the system locks. Anyone have any sugestions...

You haven't mentioned AFS's WriteUp, though, which I think is now better than OpenWrite was -- it has a much cleaner interface, and works more elegantly. It now also supports a similar number of foreign file imports as OpenWrite used to (this was my overriding concern at the beginning of the year), and has the advantage of now sharing file compatibility with PasteUp.

My beef is that they haven't released a "user" version of it. Installing the MusicKit means installing a failry large number of MBs of stuff, most of which is only of interest if you're developing music apps. What I'd like is just the ability to play the scores that came with the 2.x distribution; that used to be a very effective part of my standard demo of NeXT's capabilities. But I don't want to invest some 50MB of HD space to do this, and unfortunately don't have the capability of weeding out what I don't need. Stefano

If you do that LaTeX will *know* that there is no such feature and in particular ltxcheck.tex will stop trying to test for it. Instead it will print a message saying that \@currdir is empty and perhaps you might like to set it to something else:-) However in practice LaTeX will probably act in the same way even if you leave the default setting of ./ so it is probably not worth rebuilding the format just for that (not that it takes long just to initex latex.ltx) David

Getting my internal Web server up via the Next downloaded NCSA stuff was easy. I am using the O'Reilly Managing Internet Information Services (ch 19) book as a reference and everything is pretty straightforward. It all (maybe this is where I am naive) seems to track to the documents provided with the next Web download. The error message I on my client side OmniWeb viewer get when attempting to access any clickable bitmap is This server encountered an error: Couldn't open configuration file: /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/imagemap.conf The permissions for this file are the same as all the others, namely they are owned by root.daemon. The only thing misplaced about the whole process was the lack of an imagemap.conf file AT ALL in the initial, uncompressed package. There was indeed ... /usr/local/etc/httpd-1.4.2/conf but the apparently requisite imagemap.conf file was not there. I simply created it, matching the permissions of the other files.

Rameri, The interface is designed to work with serial ports, but you can assign each logical port (a,b,c, etc.) to any device (e.g., "/dev/cua", "/dev/cufb", etc.). Whether it would work with anything other than a device which is actually a serial port, I really don't know. If you've got a driver in /dev which acts the same as a serial port I would think it might work (but I'm no expert at all on device drivers). Why not pick up a copy of HyperSense (it's available by ftp at orst) and try it. You can try it out in demo mode, by typing something like this in the Message Box: set the device of port a to "/dev/mystrangedevice" open port a write "someCommandMyDeviceUnderstands" to port a wait 10 ticks -- 1/6th of a second, just in case read from port a for 50 -- arbitrary max. # of chars. put it into responseFromDevice -- do whatever you want with any response received close port a I'd be interested to know whether this works for you at all, and for what sort of device. If you have any other questions, please ask. Regards, Doug Simons Thoughtful Software

You can edit multiple files in multiple windows and cut and paste between them. You can display and edit data in hex, octal, decimal, binary, ascii, or ebcdic formats. You can display data in byte, word, or long word formats in either Intel or Motorola byte ordering. You can send the formatted display mode to a file or printer. BEAV is based on the source for emacs for display and keyboard handling functions. The binary file handling and display formats are special to BEAV. There is a full manual included in this release."

'describe-mode' (C-h m - if you want to use keyboard) says, among other things: "There are several ways to change text in hexl mode: ASCII characters (character between space (0x20) and tilde (0x7E)) are bound to self-insert so you can simply type the character and it will insert itself (actually overstrike) into the buffer. C-q followed by another keystroke allows you to insert the key even if it isn't bound to self-insert. An octal number can be supplied in place of another key to insert the octal number's ASCII representation. M-C-x will insert a given hexadecimal value (if it is between 0 and 0xFF) into the buffer at the current point. M-C-o will insert a given octal value (if it is between 0 and 0377) into the buffer at the current point. M-C-d will insert a given decimal value (if it is between 0 and 255) into the buffer at the current point. C-c C-c will exit hexl-mode." I would guess that this should give some ideas. :-) Michal

I decided to take a look at CDPlayer's .nibs this evening (procrastination's great, isn't it?) and found some neat goodies. They're all hidden buttons. The first is directly under the track number display, flush with its left edge. When you press it a little window with "Track" as its title appears. It contains a TextField in which you can type a track number. You'll be taken directly to that track. The others are side-by-size, directly under the time display. The one that's flush-right with the time display prints the CD's table of contents to the console (I have no idea if it's actually to stdout or stderr.) One to the left of this one prints the play mode (left to right as the buttons go), the tracks that will be played, and some other stuff. Nothing all that useful, but nifty nonetheless.

In the world of X, displays are specified in the format (stuff in [] is optional) [host]:display[.screen] where host is the name of the host on which the X server is running; this must be resolvable to an IP address (it may also be specified as an IP addr) display is a positive integer specifying the display to use; this is likely to always be zero, though there are two-headed monsters lurking out there screen is a positive integer specifying which screen to use on the display; some window managers (like fvwm) use this to do virtual "large screens", but it is usually omitted Now that the general format is out of the way, let me say this: you probably don't have to specify ANY display when starting up your window manager. The default is ":0", which is roughly equivalent to "localhost:0.0" (although it's not exact since :0 goes over a UNIX domain socket instead of wandering thru the TCP stack and thus is usually faster). Changing permissions on /dev/vid0 is correct, but ditch the "-display vid0:" from your .xinitrc. Also, you may want to start up your window manager as the last thing in your .xinitrc and DON'T BACKGROUND IT. This has the effect that when you quit your window manager, your X session terminates. Good luck, and e-mail with any more questions, -cj -- // Disclaimer: Words above are owned & spoken by Chris Cleeland & // not Envision Solutions.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

I acquired the 14MB MusicKit package and installed it. The docs say to select a driver ...it appears that it only supports 4 sound cards, Turtle Beach, Ilinki56, MIDIdriver, and the ArielPC56D. There is some confusion, at least on my part, where the documentation says to go into the configure.app....here is the actual quote: 2. In Configure.app, Click Other. Click Add... Click Add. Select the driver (from the "other" category) and make sure that the I/O port corresponds to your hardware configuration. From Menu/Configuration, select Save. You've now "added" the driver. For one thing I have looked and looked and cannot find any option that says OTHER in the configure.app. Also I am wondering if this is the ONLY sound hardware that this kit supports? I have a Sound Blaster AWE 32....is this card supported by the Music kit? If so could someone explain to me this archaic and cryptic lore on how to get the damn thing to work? If it is not supported could someone share that bit of all-to-important knowledge...that I should have acquired before I spent the many hours getting a, seemingly, useless 14MB piece of software.

After working with such students in Chattanooga, TN, I believe I have found the answer. Using large color objects to represent real world tools, such as paper and pencil, I am attempting to introduce these students into the world of computing. We have already been using existing products in combination with a Macintosh computer and have produced an amazing result. One student is now able to type papers, paint, draw, and do just about everything else by hitting his head against a switch, I wish to go further. The wonderful color, development tools, and captivating interface of the NeXT computer are exactly what I need. Unfortunately, as I am a high school student, I have absolutely no funds to pay towards such a project. What I require is a NeXTstation Color or NeXTdemension computer complete with cables, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I will be able to pay for shipping, however. This computer will be used to develop a new way for students with limiting physical conditions to interact with current computing technology. Your donation is, of course, tax-deductable. So, before you sell that old NeXT computer for a few bucks or throw it in the trash, please send it my way. Who knows?

One is fine. I can't find any info that says "<!--" is a >special html code. Is this a bug? Well, it's not actually a bug in OmniWeb. More a bug in the document you are viewing. "<!--" indicates the start of an HTML comment. The designated terminator is supposed to be "-->", which is what OmniWeb looks for. This is used so that HTML markup can be commented out. However, many sites screw this convention up an just terminate the comments with a ">". Netscape and Mosaic have gone out of their way to accept this bad HTML, thus causing the problem to grow since people don't realize that they're doing anything wrong. I think I remember the Omni folks saying once upon a time that they were going to add code to try and catch malformed comments in a future version of OmniWeb.

(Authorware is a multimedia authoring program from Macromedia.) Just comes in as blank, zilch, nada.

The > mac and the MeXT are both on the network. I've heard that this can't > be done. I'll bet someone has. > -steve clark Hi Steve: It's definately possible to print from a Mac to a NEXTSTEP computer. Probably the easiest solution is IPT Partner. It's pricy, but delivers bidirectional file sharing and print spooling using AppleTalk and AppleShare. There is a problem with the current version of IPT so that if the NEXTSTEP computer is Intel running 3.3 print spooling doesn't work. 3.3 Motorola or 3.2 FAT work fine. Info: info@iptech.com Another option which is less expensive, but less elegant is Intercon's InterPrint. This lets the Mac spool print jobs to a NEXTSTEP print queue. It requires MacTCP to be setup on the Mac side, and you have to assign an IP address for the Mac. Most Mac uses have this setup already if they're using the web, etc. The biggest drawback here is that you have print the file to disk using the LaserWriter 8 driver then spool it in order to get conforming PostScript output. The LaserWriter 7 driver makes horrible PS, which is why Adobe rewrote the Mac's PS printer driver. Info: http://www.intercon.com and http://www.gscorp.com/CaseStudies.html Hope this help, John C.

Partner has had its share of hassles. Interprint was a 5 minute setup. Export the NeXT printer as "macnext" say, and from the Chooser select macnext. How much easier do you want it?! One might compare this to uShare and uPrint which worked on and off...Anyway, I guess it's a matter of preference. Interprint is a really neat product.

Okay. They are both multimedia mail transport mechanisms. The former is an Internet standard, the second is not. MIME mail is understandable even on non-MIME mail readers; NeXTmail is not. NeXTmail is better integrated into NEXTSTEP, and most people probably like NeXTmail better. > Which OS's use MIME mail? This isn't a question of OS's. You can get many different kinds of mail software for any given OS. A modern mail reader understands MIME.

As pointed out by >Chuck Swiger, SUN has a neat little utility called tmpfs which is a sort >of dynamically resizable RAMdisk but unfortunately its proprietary and >depends upon VM mechanisms in SUN OS's. SUN is not the only system with a tmpfs, and I would think it is possible to implement such a filesystem under NEXTSTEP (but it may require knowledge about the kernel which is not public). However, since you are short on memory, I don't think a tmpfs would help you all that much. Remember that the tmpfs also takes up VM. Thus, if you are out of physical memory, writing to a tmpfs causes VM paging, and you wind up doing physical disk accesses anyways. SUN's tmpfs also has the unfortunate defect of not allowing file locking. File locking is necessary to do parallel builds, which is another very good way to speed up large compilations when you have multiple CPUs or multiple networked hosts available (in general, compiling a file takes long enough that it is worth it to read the file over a network, compile it on a free machine, and write it back over the net). Note that it's not even necessary for extra network hosts to be NEXTSTEP systems if you install a gcc cross-compiler. (Yes, I know file locking could also be done with lockfiles, but that is slower and requires more Makefile hacks than with a working file locking system call.) -ccwf

The problems we experienced may not have cropped up for you if you're just printing to the NeXT Laser Printer. In order to setup a PostScript print job correctly a printer driver needs to send information about page size, color, fonts, etc. The original LaserWriter 7 driver on the Mac didn't do this, so it was up to the application to do it. LaserWriter 8 works a lot like the elegant printing architecture under NEXTSTEP. The PPD file (PostScript Printer Description) is read and the user can select options such as paper tray, color depths, and so forth. This information is critical for successful output; without it the default is for a black and white Letter size page. So, the problem I mentioned is not the InterPrint product so much as the fact that it creates its own Chooser Level driver on the Mac that is based on the funtionality of LaserWriter 7. If you want to print from the Mac to a Tabloid size color printer (e.g. NeXT Color Printer, Canon CLC, etc) the page is cropped (to Letter). IPT Parnter doesn't have this problem because it doesn't create its own Chooser Level driver, just a new available printer that you see when you click on the standard LaserWriter driver. I've spoken at length with the folks from Intercon and they are aware of the problem, but haven't commited to any date for an update that would eliminate this problem. Hope this info helps.

It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada. USING NEXTANSWERS VIA THE WORLD-WIDE WEB To use NeXTanswers via the Internet World-Wide Web connect to NeXT's web server at URL http://www.next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY ANONYMOUS FTP To use NeXTanswers by Internet anonymous FTP, connect to FTP.NEXT.COM and read the help file pub/NeXTanswers/README. If you have problems using this, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY MODEM To use NeXTanswers via modem call the NeXTanswers BBS at (415) 780-2965. Log in as the user "guest", and enter the Files section. From there you can download NeXTanswers documents. FOR MORE HELP... If you need technical support for NEXTSTEP beyond the information available from NeXTanswers, call the Support Hotline at 1-800-955-NeXT (outside the U.S. call +1-415-424-8500) to speak to a NEXTSTEP Technical Support Technician.

If you have the Real Black Thing, your 2.x license to print postscript through the system is still valid. I use the free driver djf on a 3.2 system and an HP Deskjet 500, and it works just fine.

How do I specify in the makefile where the .h files are located? malloc.h does not exist on nextstep. The definitions for malloc(), calloc(), etc. are found in the header file <stdlib.h>. If you want to keep the sources clean, i.e. do not want to change the C sources at all, then simply create malloc.h in the current directory, and add the flag "-I." to the cc command line. You will probably compile OK with either an empty file 'malloc.h' or with a file containing '#include <stdlib.h>' The down and dirty approach is simply to either remove or change the reference to malloc.h. -- ___ ___ | James E.

Two possible solutions. 1) Add -I/usr/include/bsd/sys to CFLAGS in the Makefile (sort of answering the original question). 2) Fix the code to use the ISO standard header file for these routines - stdlib.h - instead of malloc.h which is platform specific.

Well, I too would be disappointed if OpenWrite isn't developed further, but I hardly think this kind of negative attitude is called for. Lighthouse has done incredible favors to the NeXTSTEP community with their academic pricing. Calling them the "MS of NeXTSTEP" over one issue is unfair and uncalled for.

I have no problems running PNI 1.11 with NS3.3. It can take several readings through the info files to get it configured if it is your first time, or you are not compfortable with tcl. Just start simple. Also, rather than trying to use pnirun to begin with write a little script that you can run as root that will produce more debugging info. I used: /etc/pni/pnid -C -d -n pni0 -f /etc/pni/config/pni0.config Run this as root in one window in the foreground, while you edit config files in other windows. ^C to kill !! to try again. -- ___ ___ | James E.

Just wondering...why does everyone expect they will shut down OpenWrite? They currently don't have a wp app. WriteUp does not belong to them...I don't think it does...if someone knows differently, please say so.

Well, it appears that these niches are indeed filled in the Windows world---ah, the joys of bountiful apps :-)---in fact, moreso than in the NeXT world: (a') for UNIX utilities/shell (KornShell) ported to Win95/NT, check out ``Mortice Kern Systems'', makers of UNIX utilities for Windows 95/NT (and DOS, OS/2) http://www.mks.com/ Not only have they apparently ported virtually all UNIX utilities and commands (plus a KornShell) to Windows, they have even GUI-ified several of them! (GUI-ified Vi editor, and GUI access from KornShell command line/scripts, several other GUI-ied commands). Sounds like they have one-uped NeXT in providing a UNIX environment coupled to a GUI (and they didn;t have a UNIX OS to start from!) (that is: NeXT never coupled their UNIX command line to their GUI in any serious fashion) (Cost: $299 for their humongous toolset) (b') for a good TeX environment, check out TCI Software Research http://www.bf.com/tcisoft The seem to have built a truly GUI-ified (and it sounds well done) version of TeX/LateX, and went one step further by coupling it to a MAPLE kernel for inline symbolic calculations, graphing, etc. Check it out! Blows away the TeX environment on NeXT, no comparison. (Not sure of price, but I've seen academic versions for $150) See you in the Windows world :-) PS: I have no connection to the above companies, but their products look cool..just what I've been looking for to ease my migration. -- Barry Merriman UCSD Fusion Energy Research Center UCLA Dept. of Math bmerriman@fusion.ucsd.edu (Internet; NeXTMail is welcome)

Should the text is drawn on gray background (or on the "initializing - please wait" initial image), then you are in problems (sorry, my fault). The quick-and-dirty workaround might be to (1) prepare any TIFF you like to have in text background (eg. using IconBuilder or Grab). The TIFF should have exactly 700(H)x560(V) pixels and for the sake of readability of the text should be rather dark. (2) replace all the TIFFs in the application package by your TIFF (or by links to it, to save disk space). Let me please know if the fix work well.

I'd like to tidy things up a bit and make subdirectories along the lines of NextLibrary/TeX/tex/inputs/latex209 NextLibrary/TeX/tex/inputs/latex NextLibrary/TeX/tex/inputs/latex/packages NextLibrary/TeX/tex/inputs/latex/packages/amslatex ....... QUESTION: How do I tell NeXTeX to search the latex209 subdirectory if I invoke the old latex209 format and to search the latex subdirectory if I invoke the new latex format? I struck out with Lambert's book and The LaTeX Companion. There doesn't seem to be anything in the CTAN distribution files that's specific for the NEXTSTEP implementation. And though the NeXTeX UserGuide has a couple of sections on "Environment Variables", there's nothing to cover this sort of case. (And the extant discussion seems directed only to close friends of the Cshell.)

Your right with NextTeX but did you ever used TeXmenu ??? In our department 4 out of 5 use TeXmenu instead of ScientificWorkplace and that's because if you have to type a lot of mathmatical formulas it's annouing to click trough 3 menues to get an \alpha in your text. So for the starter it's nice, but it's also buggy and you have to work hard to come around these bugs (ever tried to produce a table in SciWP?). It's nice for correctig big formulas that can be really ugly in TeX-source.

At the first time we put win95 on a partition allready used by dos and win3.11: The result is : The destruction of the boot prompt ! so at this time we must used a floppy to be able to boot on NS. So for convenience we have reinstall NS and every things seems to be OK! An alternative procedure give us a lot of troubles: Installing NS and W95 on two separate SCSI disk (an internal with SCSI ID 1 and an external sometimes with ID 0 and sometimes with ID 2 or more... That works very fine before you try to boot with w95 after that w95 writte something on NS disk (that seems to be an UNLABELED dos partition with a strange behaviour) that let NS disk unable to boot once more.... So it may be a solution to repair the NS disk without reinstalling everythings and I will be very pleased to learn it.... but be very cautious (everytime that Win95 can read a NeXTSTEP disk it cause some damage) Denis

It's wrong to trash Lighthouse's rep without any real info. The only thing they can be accused of at this point is not dedicating enough time to customer relations. Has anyone tried the phone ? Also, I imagine they are pretty busy working on multiple projects. I'm willing to bet they are talking to SunSoft about getting their stuff on OPENSTEP (since they publicly announced their support of OPENSTEP), plus upgrades and enhancements to Diagram, Concurrence, a couple of spreadsheets.

From: frank@this.net (Frank M. Siegert) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software,comp.sys.next.misc Subject: Playsony is avaiable Date: 6 Oct 1995 00:34:49 GMT Organization: my own Message-ID: <451tj9$p2j@gate.seicom.net> Hello everybody! I'm pleased to announce the availability of playsony, a little program to get audio data direct digital into your NeXT system using a Apple CD300 or any other Sony CD-8003A CDROM device. It was hacked out of play3401 from Carl Edman <cedman@princeton.edu> and is available on my home page (use the uudecode version, as the ftp links are still not up yet) http://hades.tue.schwaben.de/~frank . And yes, it is only tested on Black hardware yet... Please let me know if it works for you. The usual hack warning applies: If this burns your harddisk, computer, mouse, cat, house or car (including but not limited to) you are the only one to give the blame. Here is the man page: playsony(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual playsony(1) NAME playsony - play audio CDs through NeXT sound system SYNOPSIS playsony [ -e ] [ -p ] [ -r ] [duration ...] DESCRIPTION Playsony reads the digital audio samples from audio CDs through the SCSI bus and then plays them on the NeXT system itself. Currently playsony only supports the Sony CD-8003A (Apple CD 300, NOT the 300e!) series of CD-ROM drives. The audio CD should be inserted only after playsony has prompted the user for it. Unless the -e option is given playsony will eject the CD again when it has completed play- ing. Optional you could mount the Audio CD using the Workspace (NeXT's CD Player will open) and start playsony from the command line (As a by-effect you will see all tim- ing in the CD player display...) If you wish to record a standard 16-bit stereo 44.1 kHz soundfile to the standard output specify the -r option. By default playing of the sound is disabled while recording. If you wish to play and record use the -p option as well as the -r option. The arguments to playsony are a series of `durations' which are played by playsony in the order specified. A number of different formats for durations exist. - play the entire CD. -time play the CD from the beginning until time. time- play the CD from time to the end. time1-time2 play the CD from time1 to time2. time play just the specified time. repeat start over playing the list of durations from the beginning. Times may be specified in several different formats down to frame (= 1/75th of a second) accuracy. #n The n-th track. mm Minute mm of the CD. mm:ss Second ss of minute mm of the CD. mm:ss:ff Frame ff of second ss of minute mm of the CD. EXAMPLES Play the entire CD over and over again. playsony - repeat Play and record to the file threetracks.snd the tracks 7, 5 and 9 of the CD (in that order) and then stop. playsony -r #7 #5 #9 >threetracks.snd BUGS Currently playsony has only been tested on m68k systems with Sony CD-8003A (Apple CD 300) CD-ROM drives. It is conceiv- able that it might also work on i386 based system with the proper sound cards. As there is currently no standard SCSI command set to read audio CDs, if playsony worked on CD-ROM drives different from the Sony CD-8003A (Apple CD 300) that would purely coincidental. The author is very interested in experiences of users with different hardware configurations. Every time an audio CD is inserted a large number of warning messages will appear on the console. All those messages indicate is that the CD ROM is not in one of the standard data formats which should not come as a surprise. Sometimes a SCSI error will occure during play or record, at the moment you should ignore them, as playsony does an automatic retry. Seems to be a feature of the CD300... DIAGNOSTICS `playsony was not installed SUID root': playsony needs raw access to the CD ROM. On NeXTs this access is only granted to the root user. So to work properly playsony needs to be run either by root or has to be installed SUID root. `Can't find Sony CD-8003A (Apple CD 300) CD player -- play- sony only works with it.': playsony explicitly checks that the CD ROM drive used is a Sony CD-8003A (Apple CD 300) as sending random non-standard SCSI commands to a different device may have tragic consequences. `Can't eject CD.': Possibly the drive was installed with the eject prevention jumper installed. `No free generic SCSI device': playsony needs to use generic SCSI device of which there are only four. This message indicates that all four of them are being used by other processes. NOTES Two points about recording: playsony writes out the complete unabridged and unmodified sound data from the audio CD which results in sound files more than 10 MBytes/minute in size. If your uses don't require sound of quite so high a quality, you can use sndconvert and sndcompress to significantly reduce the size of the sound files. Most available audio CDs are copyrighted. Making direct digitial recordings of them for your own use may or may not be a violation of that copyright. Completely copying your favorite CDs to your harddisk and then uploading them to every ftp server in sight is not only almost certainly a violation of that copyright but also the greatest waste of network resources since the creation of misc.activism.progressive.

I'd need to save a pack of loaded HTML pages to disk so that I can later run the OmniWeb and normally browse the saved subnet on a computer which is *not* connected to Inet. I'd tried to save the pages via the "View source" feature to the same folder where the *.gifs are; unfortunately this does not work - the 'cache' information is lost. I can load every saved page to OmniWeb, but OmniWeb does not know that the images and the other referenced pages are available on disk and tries to connect to Inet... Theoretically I can manually edit all the saved pages, replacing the html references by the local ones, but it is almost impossible due to number of saved pages... is there some way to automate the conversion? (The main problem is that OmniWeb seems to allocate names for saved HTML pages randomly, and I don't know how to extract the original page name from its content.) Any advice will help.

Actions and such are all menu based i.e. examining/picking up/dropping things and moving are all handled by menu items. A bit cumbersome at first but you get used to it. Just tear off all the appropriate menus and have at 'er :) Haven't played it much yet, but so far, the only problem I've had is that sometimes the white text can be a bit hard to read on top of the background image.

I have it and it really is great...The only limitation is that it 'only' generates tiffs upto 100dpi (but downt to something obscene like 18dpi???). Anyway, it would be great if it would generate tiffs all the way upto something like 1200dpi or 5000dpi... But other than that it is great, particularly for generating really nice elements for Webpages. -- Thanks, take care, later, John Kheit )^> %^) monoChrome, Inc. | New York Law School NEXTSTEP Developer | Opinions expressed represent me only...

Dial-on-demand can be convenient, but it also tends to bring the line up for DNS lookups and so forth when you didn't want to have the system call out. Is entering "pppup" in a Terminal window really so onerous? If so, perhaps you should alias it to "p", or maybe make a TickleService out of it so you can bring your line up and down from the Services menu of any application.

This is highly irritating. The hardware we know works fine, it's a TRITON motherboard 100Mhz Pentium system with 256K cache, 32MB fast page mode RAM, DPT 2024/PCI SCSI controller, COGENT 960 PCI ethernet, and ATI GUP 64. I have the NextDeveloper 3.2 CD loaded but we have tried coimpiling with a freshly built GNU 2.7 compiler as well. When compiling we tend to use libposix as it is the only way it seems we can get most things to compile (and that can be problematic at times on some apps yielding ld errors during link for duplicate symbols). I'm wondering if we are going about compiling these utilities the wrong way. Any advice? -- -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Mike F. Santangelo, Dept.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada. USING NEXTANSWERS VIA THE WORLD-WIDE WEB To use NeXTanswers via the Internet World-Wide Web connect to NeXT's web server at URL http://www.next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY ANONYMOUS FTP To use NeXTanswers by Internet anonymous FTP, connect to FTP.NEXT.COM and read the help file pub/NeXTanswers/README. If you have problems using this, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY MODEM To use NeXTanswers via modem call the NeXTanswers BBS at (415) 780-2965. Log in as the user "guest", and enter the Files section. From there you can download NeXTanswers documents. FOR MORE HELP... If you need technical support for NEXTSTEP beyond the information available from NeXTanswers, call the Support Hotline at 1-800-955-NeXT (outside the U.S. call +1-415-424-8500) to speak to a NEXTSTEP Technical Support Technician. If your site has a NeXT support contract, your site's support contact must make this call to the hotline. Otherwise, hotline support is on a pay-per-call basis. Thanks for using NeXTanswers!

However, the people who responses my e-mail gives me an alternative way to have this software, which is I can copy it from someone who has it. In order to give the credibility of what I said, I enclose the original e-mail message as following: Actually we're taking MetroTools off the market. The volume just wasn't there to support the application. If you know someone who has it I'll give you my personal permission to copy it. Just send me the disk# off the label and the persons name.

That would seem to do the trick.... There are two things in the works that should help y'all out. The first is that the next version of Gatekeeper will have a significantly changed GUI that will make it much much much easier to bring up/down sessions to multiple providers.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. This has been pointed out 1,000,000 times before in this forum, but why not make it 1,000,001 ? Maybe this time somebody will remember it. First of all, don't compile posix, unless you have to. Posix support under NS is still not entirely stable and tends to bloat the size of even the smallest executables. Most programs on the net using posix features can be compiled posix-free, possibly after munging the configuration slightly. Second, if you do have to compile posix, do _NOT_ (!) -D_POSIX_SOURCE or '#define _POSIX_<FOOBAR>' or -lposix. The effect will be to compile in an environment which has been only partially posixified with entirely unpredictable effects. The correct way to compile posix is to add the '-posix' switch to all invocations of cc. The most simple and reliable way to do that is to define 'CC' in the makefile to be 'cc -posix' (and you may want to throw in the -pipe switch at the same place). And, yes, ncftp 2.x will work just fine when compiled in this manner. Carl Edman

I immediately submitted a new version to the FTP-Servers, which should be in the submission directories. PLEASE replace your current Version ! The bug was caused by the fact that I ran out of diskspace, implemented that EditSound can handle gzip'd mod-files. Then I gzip'd all my mod-files and just opened ungzip'd files from CDROM where they couldn't get deleted ... ... bad luck ... There is no new version number in submission files to override the old version and prevent anybody from getting it. There is a new Version number on the Info Panel: V 2.1 NS 3.2 And the bug warning is mentioned in the README FILE !

Its really nice. Currently, the beta is free. However, it will expire and you will have to buy it in Dec. I hope that they price it accordingly.

NeXT does not have a driver for this. However, such a driver would open up the possibility of using all sorts of generic Notebook systems with NS in color. This has left me wondering how hard it is to write a video driver for NS 3.3? Not that I have time to do it, but I am curious. . . .

It's available at ftp.netsurfer.com I think it's a great browser, and it seems that by the end of the year it will do everything that Netscape does and more. For example, right now, it plays back QuickTime videos from within a page. It can handle multiple movies at the same time, and you can drag and drop still frames while the movie is playing. We demonstrated this facility at the Seybold Conference two weeks ago. I too am hungering for a Java implementation, and am confiident we'll see one sooner or later. Many of the nice technologies out their like Acrobat, the Web, Doom, and the like were born using NEXTSTEP. It's nice to see that we're getting up to date implementations of these technolgies.

I don't know about Java. Netsurfer is another alternative that in it's current version is a bit more up to date. It supports backgrounds and a number of other Netscape extensions, and the authors have communicated to me that they are working on further extensions, including tables, etc. Also I heard a rumor (can anyone confirm) that Netsurfer is working on Java compatibility?

Open ./configure script and change line number 485 from: CFLAGS="-g -O" to: CFLAGS="-g -O -posix" The magic behind this is that NeXT's cc needs extra flag '-posix' to compile posix source code. 2. Run ./configure script 3. Open ./Makefile and change line number 33 from: LIBS = -lposix to: LIBS = -lposix -posix We also need -posix flag for linking. 4. slirp uses putenv function, which is not in the NeXT libraries, so here is its implementation taken from NA #1893: extern int putenv(char *newval) { extern char **environ; static int firstTime = 1; char **ep; char *cp; int esiz; char *np; if (!(np = strchr(newval, '='))) return 1; *np = '\0'; /* look it up */ for (ep=environ ; *ep ; ep++) { /* this should always be true... */ if (cp = strchr(*ep, '=')) { *cp = '\0'; if (!strcmp(*ep, newval)) { /* got it! */ *cp = '='; break; } *cp = '='; } else { *np = '='; return 1; } } *np = '='; if (*ep) { /* the string was already there: just replace it with the new one */ *ep = newval; return 0; } /* expand environ by one */ for (esiz=2, ep=environ ; *ep ; ep++) esiz++; if (firstTime) { char **epp; char **newenv; if (!(newenv = malloc(esiz * sizeof(char *)))) return 1; for (ep=environ, epp=newenv ; *ep ;) *epp++ = *ep++; *epp++ = newval; *epp = (char *) 0; environ = newenv; } else { if (!(environ = realloc(environ, esiz * sizeof(char *)))) return 1; environ[esiz - 2] = newval; environ[esiz - 1] = (char *) 0; firstTime = 0; } return 0; } Add this implementation of the putenv function to the end of the misc.c file. 5.

If I > simply wait (usually some period of days) the problem will > oftentimes take care of itself. There are certain kinds of usenet articles that older versions of newsgrazer will choke on. One kind of problematic article is one that's posted to too many newsgroups (for NewsGrazer to handle, at least). Another one, if I remember right, is an article where the "Lines:" information in the header is bogus. One solution is to get the latest version of NewsGrazer, which is release 3.0 version 77. This was just released a few months ago. All it has is a few bug fixes on top of the previous version -- NewsGrazer is still an unsupported application and the source code to it is not available. Another solution is to check out many of the other news reader programs that are now available. That includes Alexandra, Kiwi, NutNews, and a number of others. A new entry in this (suddenly crowded) field is called RadicalNews, but I haven't seen that yet. When you say "NewsGrazer 2.0", I'm wondering if you're still running NeXTSTEP 2.x. If so, it may be true that *none* of these newsreaders will work on your system (including the newer version of NewsGrazer). You can go thru the rather tedious process of finding the article that NewsGrazer is having trouble with. Note that most people have turned on the "Preferences..." option called "Prefetch article titles", which makes it tougher to pin down the problematic article. With that on, what happens is that while you're looking at one list of articles, NewsGrazer is working in the background to fetch the headers of other articles. Thus, the article that causes the crash can be something *totally* unrelated to what you're doing or looking at when NewsGrazer crashes. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

So the piece of software that I really liked on the NeXT was Diagram! Of course it was my only piece of software -- other than that my NeXT's were used to get me through engineering school. It's hard to compete with a UNIX machine at home. But I've been out of school for a while and the NeXT's are long gone. I sold them when the dust gathered so thinkly that the mere sight of them started me sneezing. Something about sitting in front of a UNIX computer at work made me not want to do so when I got home. I bought a mac. Sometimes it really hacks me off, but most of the time I like running applications that I like bought at the store. (Wow!) Can you believe I still remember when you could buy NeXTWorld at Walden Software? Still, I was a subscriber. Anyway, I have yet to find a Diagram! replacement for the Mac. MS PowerPoint is pathetic. Kaetron's TopDown is OK -- but only passably so. Does anyone have any pointers to Diagram! like applications for the Macintosh? Email responses are preferred. Thanks! -Chris songer@lexmark.com

The web site is > http://www.netsurfer.com/ Speaking of which, I have the newest beta (1.01 PR6) and I went to open the ToyStory.htmld document to see the inline video examples. I got a message "Unable to open NEXTIME server" or something to that effect -- do I need to have NEXTIME installed on my system? I was under the impression that NetSurfer internalized all of that... (??) And BTW, what does everyone think of the implementation of in-line video compared to that of MS's Internet Explorer? (I haven't seen Netscape's yet.) A brief summary of the different implementations follows. This is straight from MS's and Netsurfer's respective descriptions: ******************************* Microsoft Implementation: IMG Inserts a picture, video clip, or VRML window Attribute: DYNSRC=URL Explanation: Specifies the address of a video clip or VRML world to be displayed in the window. It stands for Dynamic Source. Example: <IMG SRC="foo.gif" DYNSRC="bar.avi"> If your browser supports inline video, you will see the movie "bar.avi"; otherwise you will see the picture "foo.gif" Attribute: START=FILEOPEN and/or MOUSEOVER Explanation: For video clips: specifies when the file should start playing. FILEOPEN means start playing as soon as the file is done opening. This is the default. MOUSEOVER means start playing when the user moves the mouse cursor over the animation. The user can specify both together. Examples: <IMG SRC="preview1.gif" DYNSRC="skiing.avi" START=FILEOPEN> The above video will start playing as soon as it is opened. <IMG SRC="preview2.gif" DYNSRC="curling.avi" START=MOUSEOVER LOOP=5> The above video will start playing when the user mouses over it, and will loop 5 times before stopping. <IMG SRC="preview3.gif" DYNSRC="windsurfing.avi" START=MOUSEOVER,FILEOPEN> The above video will play once as soon as it opens and thereafter will play whenever the user mouses over it. Attribute: CONTROLS Explanation: For video clips & VRML: if present, a set of controls is displayed under the clip. Examples: <IMG DYNSRC="fun.avi" CONTROLS> The above video has a set of transport controls under it. <IMG DYNSRC="vrml:foo.wrl" CONTROLS> The above VRML world has a set of "flying" controls under it. Attribute: LOOP=n or LOOP=INFINITE Explanation: Specifies how many times a video clip will loop when activated. If n=-1, or if LOOP=INFINITE is specified, it will loop indefinitely Examples: <IMG SRC="preview1.gif" DYNSRC="movie.avi" LOOP=3> The above video will loop 3 times when activated. <IMG SRC="preview1.gif" DYNSRC="movie.avi" LOOP=INFINITE> The above video will loop indefinitely until stopped. Attribute: LOOPDELAY=n Explanation: Specifies, in milliseconds, how long a video clip will wait between the time it's done playing and the time it starts playing again Example: <IMG SRC="preview1.gif" DYNSRC="skiing.avi" START=FILEOPEN LOOPDELAY=1000 LOOP=5> The above video will start one second after it is done loading, then loop five times, then stop. ********************************************* NetSurfer Implementation (considerably less detailed): Netsurfer now provides NEXTIME[TM] video playback capabilities including support for the new experimental <VIDEO> HTML element for support of inline videos. The basic format of the proposed <VIDEO> tag is: <VIDEO HEIGHT=<height> WIDTH=<width> SRC=<src url> AUTOPLAY> If AUTOPLAY is present, the video will begin playback automatically once it has been loaded. ******************************************** Thoughts? -Dayne Miller dayne@spry.com

From: gvh@digasylum.com (Gordon Van Huizen) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: Metrosoft's Position On MetroTools Date: Thu, 12 Oct 1995 15:08:17 -0800 Organization: Digital Asylum Message-ID: <gvh-1210951508170001@emerson.digasylum.com> There's been an amount of discussion on the state of MetroTools and our company's position on it. We'd like to take the opportunity to clear this up. First and foremost, MetroTools is NOT in the public domain, nor shall it ever be. Significant portions of MetroTools are being used in a new product which is more appropriate for the NEXTSTEP large site market. The new product--mPOWER--has proven to be quite viable in that market, resulting in some very healthy volume purchases. mPOWER is currently in a closed beta program. At the same time, MetroTools sales have fallen off, primarily because the NEXTSTEP end-user market has diminished considerably since its initial release in 1992, and the MetroTools feature set isn't in synch with 1995's large site needs. Due to the relative lack of interest in MetroTools (read: revenue) and the fact that the features that create the most support burden are in many cases the features that were undesired by the large site market (and therefore dropped in mPOWER), we made the only business decision available: stop selling MetroTools and focus our resources on other product development. This wasn't an easy decision, in that we really believed in the product when it was originally conceived, and many people have found it to be quite useful. Unfortunately, the changes in the NEXTSTEP market forced us away from the original vision for the product. We still get the occasional inquiry from end-users (mostly students) for the original MetroTools product. What was done in a very few cases (my personal count is 2) was to tell the individual that if they had a friend with a copy, to help themselves to a copy for their own unsupported use. This is substantially different than releasing the product as freeware or placing it in the public domain. When people were given this option, they were required to send us the serial number and name of the person who owns the original copy. This was done to ensure that people weren't passing around free copies that we didn't know about. It was done in the spirit of generosity--to help out individuals that had taken the time to seek us out in an attempt to purchase the product. Again, this is very different than a free-for-all where everyone can just have a free copy by asking people on the net for it. Since our approach was obviously open to misinterpretation, it is no longer our policy to allow individuals that approach us to obtain copies in this manner, and it has NEVER been our policy to allow widespread trading of our product without our knowledge of the copying. We apologize that there has been some confusion about this, and as owners of the product rights we ask that no one e-mail a copy of any of our products to anyone but a registered owner (as stated in the license agreement that all purchasers receive). We'd also like to set the record straight about Metrosoft: we're doing quite well. In fact, 1995 has been our best year ever by a significant margin. We've had to adapt, however, to the changes in the NEXTSTEP market, which means a diminished presence in the end-user market while bolstering our volume sales efforts.

Because, as you may surmise, the story read on the Net doesn't reflect the real picture. I was kind of hoping that Mary or Gordon would have posted already about this, but... My understanding is that Mary made a one off offer to help out an academic purchaser, and this was not intended to be posted for all and sundry. MetroSoft are still a NeXT company, but like many of us are involved in contracting work as well as software development. mPOWER, the forthcoming upgrade for MetroTools, is still in beta, but going well.

I have a Boca 28.8 faxmodem (fax class 2 compatible). I've heard that Black&White software has a such product, but I couldn't figure out the name and whether it is compatible with the above configuration (apparently, they don't have a web page). If someone knows about a decent public domain program, it would not hurt either. 2) What is the deal with the FaxReader available on the system? It seems that it can only display/forward a received fax. I tried to configure the fax using PrintManager, but it doesn't seem to be working. Every time I get mail over PPP link I also get a message that a fax has arrived. How to configure the program correctly so I can use it? Plz help.

Get TickleServices. It includes several services for handling MAB files very nicely. You may have to mail Scott Hess directly to get it, if you're on HP or SPARC hardware. It is very very useful. If you have it, and have NS-3.3, you may be puzzled that the lipo-related tickle services don't always seem to work. If you look at the scripts for the lipo services, it's easy to change them so they work. Basically you just have to look for any reference to "m68k" and see if that section of code also needs to know about "hppa" and "sparc". --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

With no argument, it reports the speed of the terminal and the set- tings of the options which are different from their defaults. Use of one of the following options modifies the output as described: all All normally used option settings are reported. everything Everything stty knows about is printed. speed The terminal speed alone is printed on the stan- dard output. size The terminal (window) sizes are printed on the standard output, first rows and then columns. The option strings are selected from the following set: even allow even parity input -even disallow even parity input odd allow odd parity input -odd disallow odd parity input raw raw mode input (no input processing (erase, kill, interrupt, ...); parity bit passed back) -raw negate raw mode cooked same as `-raw' cbreak make each character available to read(2) as received; no erase and kill processing, but all other processing (interrupt, suspend, ...) is per- formed -cbreak make characters available to read only when new- line is received -nl allow carriage return for new-line, and output CR-LF for carriage return or new-line nl accept only new-line to end lines echo echo back every character typed -echo do not echo characters lcase map upper case to lower case -lcase do not map case tandem enable flow control, so that the system sends out the stop character when its internal queue is in danger of overflowing on input, and sends the start character when it is ready to accept further input -tandem disable flow control -tabs replace tabs by spaces when printing tabs preserve tabs ek set erase and kill characters to # and @ For the following commands which take a character argument c, you may also specify c as the ``u'' or ``undef'', to set the value to be undefined. A value of ``^x'', a 2 character sequence, is also interpreted as a control character, with ``^?'' representing delete. erase c set erase character to c (default `#', but often reset to ^H.) kill c set kill character to c (default `@', but often reset to ^U.) intr c set interrupt character to c (default DEL or ^? (delete), but often reset to ^C.) quit c set quit character to c (default control \.) start c set start character to c (default control Q.) stop c set stop character to c (default control S.) eof c set end of file character to c (default control D.) brk c set break character to c (default undefined.) This character is an additional character causing wakeup. cr0 cr1 cr2 cr3 select style of delay for carriage return (see ioctl(2)) nl0 nl1 nl2 nl3 select style of delay for linefeed tab0 tab1 tab2 tab3 select style of delay for tab ff0 ff1 select style of delay for form feed bs0 bs1 select style of delay for backspace tty33 set all modes suitable for the Teletype Corpora- tion Model 33 terminal. tty37 set all modes suitable for the Teletype Corpora- tion Model 37 terminal. vt05 set all modes suitable for Digital Equipment Corp.

(These are the speeds supported by the DH-11 interface). rows n The terminal size is recorded as having n rows. columns n The terminal size is recorded as having n columns. cols n is an alias for columns. A teletype driver which supports the job control processing of csh(1) and more functionality than the basic driver is fully described in tty(4). The following options apply only to it. new Use new driver (switching flushes typeahead). crt Set options for a CRT (crtbs, ctlecho and, if >= 1200 baud, crterase and crtkill.) crtbs Echo backspaces on erase characters. prterase For printing terminal echo erased characters back- wards within ``\'' and ``/''. crterase Wipe out erased characters with ``backspace- space-backspace.'' -crterase Leave erased characters visible; just backspace. crtkill Wipe out input on like kill ala crterase. -crtkill Just echo line kill character and a newline on line kill. ctlecho Echo control characters as ``^x'' (and delete as ``^?''.) Print two backspaces following the EOT character (control D). -ctlecho Control characters echo as themselves; in cooked mode EOT (control-D) is not echoed. decctlq After output is suspended (normally by ^S), only a start character (normally ^Q) will restart it. This is compatible with DEC's vendor supplied sys- tems. -decctlq After output is suspended, any character typed will restart it; the start character will restart output without providing any input. (This is the default.) tostop Background jobs stop if they attempt terminal out- put. -tostop Output from background jobs to the terminal is allowed. tilde Convert ``~'' to ```'' on output (for Hazeltine terminals). -tilde Leave poor ``~'' alone. flusho Output is being discarded usually because user hit control O (internal state bit). -flusho Output is not being discarded. pendin Input is pending after a switch from cbreak to cooked and will be re-input when a read becomes pending or more input arrives (internal state bit). -pendin Input is not pending. pass8 Passes all 8 bits through on input, in any mode. -pass8 Strips the 0200 bit on input except in raw mode. mdmbuf Start/stop output on carrier transitions (not implemented). -mdmbuf Return error if write attempted after carrier drops. litout Send output characters without any processing. -litout Do normal output processing, inserting delays, etc. nohang Don't send hangup signal if carrier drops. -nohang Send hangup signal to control process group when carrier drops. etxack Diablo style etx/ack handshaking (not imple- mented). The following special characters are applicable only to the new teletype driver and are not normally changed. susp c set suspend process character to c (default control Z). dsusp c set delayed suspend process character to c (default control Y). rprnt c set reprint line character to c (default control R). flush c set flush output character to c (default control O). werase c set word erase character to c (default control W). lnext c set literal next character to c (default control V).

I can execute basic unix commands. But I can't see to get any programs working. How do I boot into the NeXT OS? How do I get anything to display in color? Why, whenever I try to execute most of the programs, does it just access the HD, then freeze up? How can I make the programs run properly?

Simple Anwer. I see you're in Systems and Computer Engineering. Use LaTeX. It is free with NeXT, and exists on every platform mankind will ever know. It produces output that beats any other word processor --- especially if you have formulas, as you no doubt will. And contrary to what you may think, the overhead in getting started is not that bad at all. It would take a day to get up to speed on the basics, as opposed to perhaps 20 minutes for any other WP app, but thereafterwards, the learning curves for the subtle things are roughly comparable. And LaTeX can do much more subtle and time-saving things than any other app can, simply because being in the public domain, there is any army of amateurs past, current, and future eager and willing to write style files for typesetting everything from Chess to Music to Chemistry to Graphics to ..... Best of all, you will never be held hostage to a particular company or even operating system, should they fold. In academia the choice is really easy, and it really makes a lot of sense to invest a day now to reap ample returns. Perhaps in the workaday world, compatibility is more important. But if you are buying write-upp or openwrite or whatever NS WP, you will not be able to boast loudly of compatibility with the yucky Microsoft word processing world out there anyway.

But certainly this limit is getting more significant, as people can buy 4-gig disks for under $1,000 now. By the time the next system release (after 4.0) comes out, common disk drives may be so large that NeXTSTEP won't be able to use all of them (not even by splitting one disk into several 2-gig partitions!).

If not, did it come on my 3.0 disks? Is either of these the version-to-use? (2) I don't write mathematic, scientific docs - I'm a screenwriter. At this point I am using FrameMaker 3.2 on my Turbo Slab. And it works great, but I was wondering if I could do all I need with equal ease with TeX? I realized I'll need some time to get up to speed on TeX, but there's something very reassuring about using a program that will be indefinitely supported, developed and tweaked not by a company but by a community of people. A heritage of intelligence. Communal versus corporate. I didn't look into it when I first took the NeXTStep because TeX was billed as a typesetter. I've taken a look at TeXMenu 4.1 and TeXView. It all seems sort of confusing, but since I'm not running TeX yet of course it would be. Also, would there be I/O filters for MS Word and WordPerfect? Or even FrameMaker? -- Thanks and be well, Matthew ================================================================== Matthew Reichman | NeXTStep v.3.3 m68k reichman@scf.usc.edu | NeXTMAIL & MIME welcome USC-CNTV | finger for PGP key "Brooding's the word.

When I print via LPR on NS FIP 3.2 to this printer, these anomalies are noticed: 1) Any line with no characters except for a linefeed in column 1, is not printed. This results in the file becoming vertically "squashed", and it looks pretty bad. 2) When I lpr a Postscript file to this printer, it prints the Postscript code rather than running Postscript on the printer. If I copy a Postscript file to this printer from any other DOS or Windows machine on our network, the printer goes into Postscript mode and formats the page. 3) The default font and font size settings on the printer are having no effect on jobs printed via LPR from NS. These settings do take effect on ASCII files printed from DOS or Windows.

I did the following: 1. Connect the computer and the HP JetDirect Ex via BNC, T-connectors and termination resistances. 2. Connect the HP JetDirect Ex and the printer via parallel cabel 3. Add a new host with HostManager.app called "hp850c". 4. Delete all properties in NetInfoDomain "/hp850c" except name -> hp850c ip_address -> 131.234.172.201 en_address -> 8:0:9:62:2b:da bootfile -> nothing.needed 5. Turn off and turn on computer, HP JetDirect Ex and printer After that I am able to establish a "ping" connection from the computer to the HP JetDirect Ex. I am also able to print a statuspage on the printer by pressing the "TEST"-button on the front side of the HP JetDircet Ex. This page shows: HOST NAME: 131.234.172.201 CONFIG BY: BOOTP IP ADDRESS 131.234.172.201 SUBNET MASK: NOT SPECIFIED DEF.

Next I installed "JetPilot" and with the PrintManger.app a new printer of type "JP HP DeskJet 850 C" with communication via "seriell port A" (remember this is NS 3.2). Afterwards I installed "JetDirectDriver.0.92" following the instructions in the "INSTALLATION"-file. Even if power is cycled to all components absolutely nothing happend if I try to print testpages or other staff. No prints, no error messages, no sparkle of a LED, no print job occur in the PrintManager panel. Any help is welcome, Alfred.

I hate uploading binaries for generic UN*X packages, but as a lot of people seem to have problems with this... The only problem is that my local version uses ncurses and for some addled reason I forgot to compile my libncurses fat, so I can currently only create NS/FIP binaries of ncftp.

Date: Sun, 15 Oct 1995 23:25:59 GMT Is there any Web browser out there that knows how to display Netscape 1.1 specific html (background images, etc...) ? The web is getting less and less usable on NS platform... I know that nestscape stategy of introducing non-conformant htlm is not very internet-PC, but unfortunately it seems that about 20% of web-pages designers use the new (and nice) features introduced by NetScape.

I haven't checked, but I'd be surprised if it supports server-push, client-pull, the lowres/highres image tags etc.. Granted, they aren't __APPROVED__ HTML at this point, but the W3 Org seems to be taking a long time to finally mash out the details... I like Netscape, OmniWeb and Netsurfer... I'm sure if Omni got 100 bagillion dollars in stock transactions, they would have more people to devote to it.. :-)

Date: 16 Oct 1995 22:41:37 GMT Organization: Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, US Message-ID: <45un31$8fr@news.acns.nwu.edu> I've just acquired a second NeXT and built my own little home network between it and my cube. I've configured the new colorstation as a NetInfo master server, and the cube (which has both the big disk and the modem link to the outside world) as a clone server. The /Local* directories are NFS-mounted to the colorstation from the cube, but each has its own home directories, so either machine can be booted by itself. Since I dial in to my provider with Mamakos's SLIP setup, and my IP number is dynamically assigned at slipup, I am assuming that there is no way for the second machine to send packets directly to the Internet: after all, I only get one IP number, not two, so how can the incoming packets be directed to the second machine? (If you see a flaw in this reasoning, that will be very good news indeed---please tell me!) So if I keep the current topology, I will have to run any Internet apps on the cube, and use the -NXHost flag to make them display on the colorstation---right? Now we come to my problem. OmniWeb.app and OmniImage.app are both in /LocalApps, and the OmniImageFilter service is in /LocalLibrary, so they are visible to both systems. Everything still works as it always did on the cube. But when I run OmniWeb on the cube and send the display to the colorstation, images fail to display. Everything else is fine: I can click from page to page, images are downloaded to /tmp (the _cube's_ /tmp, where OmniWeb is actually running), and an attempt is made to launch them when they are done. But the image doesn't show up---instead I get the 'no-image' icon, and this error: convertToTiff: Could not find filename type in pasteboard Can anything be done to fix this, and if so, what? Also, if anyone else is running a similar setup (a homogeneous NeXT network at home, SLIP-linked to the world by a single IP number), I'd appreciate some general advice about configuration issues. In particular, is it better to have network users, or an identical set of local users on each box? Please email---I'll summarize what I learn here.

Well, to add to this topic: ncftp 2.x has two modes, a 'visual', full-screen mode, and the normal line mode, as known from ncftp 1.9x. If you configure and compile ncftp in the usual manner on NEXTSTEP, it's unable to use visual mode (AFAIK), since you need a decent curses package for visual mode (which NEXTSTEP lacks). Then, you could try and get ncurses (1.9.5 is the most recent). Sadly, ncurses 1.9.x compiles for NEXTSTEP only with -posix. Therefore any application which will be linked against libncurses.a has to be compiled with -posix, too. Therefore you have to compile ncftp with -posix if you want visual mode. IMHO the best would be to port ncurses 1.9.x over to generic NEXTSTEP (i.e. without posix), as the old ncurses 1.8 on orst and peanuts was. Or am I wrong ?

I found Frame to be very, very nice for doing a dissertation, with very nice handling of images (being able to set the dpi of an image inside of Frame was a lifesaver for me), when the final output was print. At the Media Lab, I'd say Frame and TeX are used the most for PhDs, with Quark a distant 3rd. I know lots of people who've done MSs with Word and such (I actually used PageMaker), but for a PhD dissertation, especially one more traditionally implemented than mine, Frame makes a great choice. I know Frame seems clunky, and to a degree it is, but it's rock solid; at least in my experience.

In terms of money or time or both? I'd say any estimate that just looks at initial money outlay is not realistic. For me, GUI wordprocessor/DTP apps have a distinct advantage to non-totally-GUI wp/DTP apps because I already know how to work GUIs. My training time is decreased and I can get my work done with less hassle. Therefore, for me, Frame is cheaper than TeX. But if you're stuck on NS where you have to compare Frame 3.x to the latest TeX (and a constantly developing library of macros), I'd say that's another situation.

I am totally unimpressed by this app. After 7200 seconds of idle time, I got this message from the app, "Timeout after 7200 seconds, closing connection." I hit OK and the app died. This is not an acceptable action, the app should re-open the connection and possibly gather new news (dependant on the setting of the auto-fetch parameter). If this is some limit imposed by running the beta, this should be announced in the documentation or when the app is launched. If this is due to some client-server connection timeout, I consider the app to have crashed, and crashing apps are never acceptable. I tried running it on a 24MB RAM machine and the app eats up so much RAM the machine swapped heavily. The only other apps running at the time were Preferences (just the clock was running, no other modules were loaded) and the workspace. It's slow to do most anything (including doing finds in newsgroup listings when all I'm seeking is the name of a newsgroup) and the preferences are stored in ~/.RadicalNews (is ~/.AppInfo/<appname>/ no longer proper?) On worst of all, it's single-threaded. Interrupting it to change preferences or do something unrelated to gathering news is impossible. I didn't like the single-threadedness in NewsGrazer and I certainly wouldn't pay for it in a commercial app. In an attempt to turn off the auto-fetch, I set the timeout to 0. I didn't know if this meant there would be no delay between auto-fetches (why this would be useful is beyond me, especially in a single-threaded app) or that there would be no auto-fetching (i.e., the user would have to select the update choice from the menu). Had there been some online help with the app that told me about the auto-fetch, I wouldn't have had to experiment. As it turns out, 0 timeout means RadicalNews is constantly fetching info from the server. Since the app is single-threaded and the defaults are not stored in traditional places, it took me a few restarts of the app to get some things under control so I could evaluate other things in the app. The news fetching is also extremely slow--the speed suggests that it is requesting a list of all the newsgroups (and possibly their descriptions) at each update. > It seems easy to use, fully functional (though I discovered one bug which > they say has now been fixed), and in general just simply cool. Nice, > simple user interface. Except that this interface doesn't do article threading correctly (subject changes in the middle of a thread are not handled properly). Threads seem to be treated as groups of articles with the same subject header (ala NewsGrazer or nn), which is totally wrong. The app is so slow, clicking on a newsgroup in either the subscribed or available list means waiting a while before the article list pops up (much longer than the wait due to downloading additional group information). There's no progress meter, so I have no way of knowing just how long this delay will be. Also, the first article is auto-selected (a very bad idea if you're reading a group that has lengthy articles or if the first article is one you don't want to read). There are some UI difficulties too: not being able to select more than one subject in an article window and hit cmd-a (Edit->Select All) and select all the subjects. Also, I couldn't use the keyboard to navigate selecting articles or groups. I couldn't use the spacebar or backspace key to move forward or backward within an article. > I'd certainly suggest trying out the beta of RadicalNews. Until things significantly improve, I would recommend looking elsewhere. I think RadicalNews has a long way to go before it's worth real money. Slrn (a CLI newsreader) available from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slrn is a much speedier newsreader. Slrn also has an accurate and intuitive thread UI and the keys for each action can be configured. There are some feature differences, but this will soon pass when slrn becomes fully programmable. Slrn is free and comes with complete source code.

Well, I have built it with the X11R6 libraries and confirmed that it runs under co-Xist. Good enough? >The compiler complains there is no termio.h ... Any hints appreciated. That's a bit odd. The configure script should figure out that you have termios.h but not termio.h. After running configure, you'll want to manually edit config.h to let XEmacs know you don't have functional unistd.h and utime.h headers. Also, undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR, which gets misconfigured. Finally, if you are compiling 19.13, undefine HAVE_MMAP and REL_ALLOC unless you can figure out a way to simulate /dev/zero or anonymous memory mapping under NEXTSTEP. (Let me know if you manage to do this!) There are a few other things you might want to tweak in config.h depending upon your personal preferences. If you are installing a patch rather than from scratch, you'll also want to modify the malloc jumpstart in emacs.c to if (initialized && malloc_cookie) if (malloc_jumpstart (malloc_cookie) != 0) printf ("malloc jumpstart failed!\n"); because otherwise you'll get core dumps when dumping updated .elc files (because in this case, this fragment will get called without a previous malloc_freezedry() call). Hmmm, I'd better carbon Carl Edman on this mod since it might affect the NEXTSTEP Emacs as well. I believe those are all the source code mods. There might be a few very minor hacks to get a successful link.... Yes, I remember that you have to change the -X compilation flag to '-Wl,-X'. There might be other minor hacks. Finally, remember that you might have to redump after upgrades. -ccwf

Try NetSurfer. I have tried Netsurfer a lot; I've beta-tested the app for quite some time. In fact, my bug-hunting input was so valuable, I earned a copy of the app. I realize that Netsurfer recognizes some of them, but some is not the same as all. I don't recall reading about support for frames in Netsurfer, nor do I remember reading about support for quick-jpeg or viewing more than one related page at a time. I trust that if these things become popular, other WWW client vendors (including Netsurfer) will add them.

However, it is in beta. It is currently free. It is superior to anything I've tried recently (I switched from NG to tin to Kiwi to RadicalNews). Assuming that between version 0.6 and version 1.0 it will improve further (as most apps do), I will likely be purchasing the release version. It has a very easy to use GUI, and solid, easy to use article threading capability. As well, it's cool that it automatically puts quotes within an article in a different color so they are easy to skip over. It's archiving ability is very useful as well. The items you mention aren't surprising in a beta app. If they are still there in 1.0, there will be reason to be dissapointed.

I was wondering if IDE or EIDE disk performance under NextStep is any better. I know that (E)IDE is bad for having multiple devices being accessed but if you just have one hard drive and a SCSI CDROM then you won't be experinceing these problems. I also know that SCSI can do multiple commands at once while IDE cannot so in that respect SCSI is better but I think asynchronous only operation under NextStep cancles that benefit out with respect to IDE. So I'm wondering if anyone has done any disk performance testing with DriverPerformance.app or nwbench.app and what kind of results they have gotton for (E)IDE and SCSI. I'm using an Adaptec 154x compatible VLB controller and since Next has released the driver source for this controller, I was wondering if it would be possible to modify it to work synchronously and and perform better. Or is this a kernel level/file system problem and there really isn't much hope. As a reference, I have a 500 meg Seagate ST3600N drive and can do about 500K/sec reads and writes to it using my controller. I've done other tests on the driver under DOS and have gotton scores ranging from 1 to 2 megabytes/sec under various sequential and random tests. Thanks for any info or ideas.. -- John

In my opinion, your best bet is to move to the Mac or Windows. If you insist on doing word processing on NS, I'd say the best general-purpose word processor is OpenWrite. However, this app is no longer available new, but maybe you can get a used license around somewhere. The feature set isn't as large as MS Word or WordPerfect, and it's not the speediest app (when you run it in full WYSIWYG mode). For a supported NS-native app, there's WriteUp which has a simpler interface. Unfortunately, that simpler interface seems to come at the price of a small feature set (when compared to Word or WordPerfect). Another choice costs more money and is out of date, but available on NS: FrameMaker. But if you're going to spend that much money on an app, it would be foolish not to consider spending it on the Mac or Windows version where you can receive support in the form of upgrades to fix bugs and add functionality. You could also go with TeX. You'd save money on your initial investment, since TeX comes with NS. However, the learning curve is significantly steeper and you'll probably spend some money on training books while you lose time learning the language in the process. GUI versions are available, but the real power of TeX comes in when you use the language. Unfortunately, word processing was never a strong app field on NS.

May I join the discussion with a rather hereditary remark. Neither of the newsreaders that are specifically made to run under NEXTSTEP satisfied my needs. They hang, they crash, they corrupt headers, they don't have proper threading, they have unsatisfying grouping and lame killing. (I haven't looked at NewsFlash but from what I heard it's also not the absolutely very best.) The newsreader of my choice is Gnus 5.0.6 under emacs. And with the proper emacs (I use 19.28.1 under NS 3.2) it's also clickable. News can be fetched any way you can imagine (nntp, spool, various servers, various ports and so on); you can group groups (virtual groups); with a click it fetches a group's FAQ; killing has become scoring, if a thread has died the 'kill' also expires, you can also use scoring to emphasize certain posters or subjects. Uudecoding, mime and other stuff is also included. Still, these are but a few features. One big advantage: it's free and the support is to be found on USENET itself. Disadvantage: you have to comprehend it's features and understand how to set them in order to tailor it to your needs and use it fully, but it also runs nicely out of the box. I'm still waiting for a NEXTSTEP newsreader to beat Gnus.

I >have configured intel machines with dual boot for Win 3.1, but I hear the >setup is different for Win 95. I've been using Win 95 with NS, and the setup isn't really that different. The only problem is if you install Win 95 *after* installing NextStep. Win 95 will remove the NS boot record. If you install NS after Win 95, there should be no difference. You can even use FIPS on a Win 95 FS! If you install Win 95 after NS, you'll need to replace to boot sector. Here are a couple FAQs from NeXTAnswers # 1470. ====== Replacing the NEXTSTEP boot sector Q: My NEXTSTEP PC doesn't display the prompt 'Press n for NEXTSTEP, d for DOS' when the system starts up, even though my disk has both DOS and NEXTSTEP partitions. How can I fix the disk so I can boot from either partition? A: Somehow the boot sector for the disk became corrupted or was removed. You need to replace it. Often this is caused by installing DOS 6.x or Windows95. As the user root, type this command in a Terminal window: disk -B0 /usr/standalone/i386/boot0 /dev/rsd0a If you're using an IDE disk, substitute /dev/rhd0a for /dev/rsd0a. Note: You must execute this command as root. Incorrectly typing this command can have serious repercussions. Use caution when logged in as root. See also: NeXTanswer 1487_Intel_Boot_Process for details on booting. The NEXTSTEP fdisk(8) UNIX manual page and NeXTanswer 1130_Surviving_DOS ===== Problems with DOS Version 6.x, Windows95 and NEXTSTEP Q: I am having problems installing DOS 6.x or Windows95 on a disk that has the NEXTSTEP boot sector already installed. A: After installing DOS 6 or Windows95, the default partition will be set to the DOS partition. Thus if you take no action after the "n for nextstep, d for dos" prompt, the machine will boot into DOS, not NEXTSTEP. This can be fixed by resetting the active partition to the NEXTSTEP partition, using DOS's or our fdisk. Typing n for NEXTSTEP will still boot to NEXTSTEP. Q: After upgrading to DOS 6.2 or Windows95, upon bootup, the "n for nextstep, d for dos" prompt does not appear and the system boots up into DOS. A: DOS 6.2 and Windows95 kindly removes our booter. You can replace the boot sector by following the instructions under "Replacing the NEXTSTEP Boot Sector" above. -- Bill Bereza berezaw@river.it.gvsu.edu <NeXT/MIME> Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.

Win95 first, then NeXTSTEP. NeXTSTEP automatically detects that the DOS partition was previously the "Active" partition and creates a little boot menu for the user "Press n for NeXTSTEP, D for DOS" kind of thing, I recommend installing a third party Boot Manager.

Sorry I didn't see your post in time in give you advice in time for your presentation (overlooked it because of the insufficiently interesting subject line, not because of a slow newsfeed). For the future, the best solution is just to install and use a caching HTTP daemon as a proxy. Allowing you to run Web applications off a cache when disconnected from the net is one of the reasons caching proxy servers were designed. The paper on caching proxies available from the WWW Consortium's site describes this very usage. Letting the HTTP daemon handle the cache also lets multiple users on the subnet use any WWW clients they want while you are disconnected from the net. A fallback for an individual user is to use a client which manages its own persistent cache. For example, the Emacs-W3 browser and Mozilla can be configured for persistent caches (although I suppose you would need to run Mozilla under SoftPC). The Emacs-W3 browser even has a menu option to run _only_ from its cache. Sorry but I don't know of any good solutions with only using OmniWeb. -ccwf Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail.

A user really deletes the message with the attachment, and does a compact. However, sometimes (not sure what causes it) the attachment is still in the mbox directory. What I am looking for is a way to easily locate orphan attachments. Since I am not familiar with things too well, I assume that the table_of_contents file can be used to determine what attachments should exist, and compare that to a directory listing of the mbox directory.

Read the TeXbook's first ten or so chapters, or even better Knuth's 1978 article on why he found it necessary to write TeX. There are about 500 years of esoteric art to making text really pretty, especially when equations are involved, and the resolution of the physical printer is only one small aspect of the matter. Here are a random half-dozen questions (I could come up with forty or fifty more) to present to the author of your favorite DTP package: * Do you handle _all_ kerning pairs and ligatures properly, at _all_ text sizes, or do you scale up and down naively from a standard table? Can you freely configure the 'stretchability' of any whitespace in the document, so that (for instance) the spaces around equals signs stretch 1.6 times more than the spaces around plus signs? * Does your linebreak algorithm look ahead for an entire paragraph to find the most elegant set of breakpoints? Does it concern itself with not putting a 'tight' line next to a 'loose' one? * Is your hyphenation algorithm provably correct, as tested against a major unabridged dictionary? Do you have readily available and loadable hyphenation algorithms for German, French, etc.? Can you teach new hyphenation rules on the fly? * Have you got a sans-serif font that blends well with your text font, or do you default to the (individually beautiful, but almost uniquely incompatible) industry-standard Times with Helvetica? Is your math-italic font kerned differently from your text-italic font, so that things like f(x) look right? * Does your package understand the differences between inline math and display math? For instance, does it know to put the sub- and superscripts of a summation on the bottom and top in display, but to the upper and lower right in running text? * Can I use your package to do really _hard_ math typesetting, such as commutative diagrams? (See chapter 19 of the TeXbook for good example challenges.) The only 'advanced' package with which I am familiar is FrameMaker, and it fails ludicrously on all of the above. Warning: if you are blissfully unaware of this sort of thing when you read books and math papers, you may be better off _not_ reading up. You will continue to blithely produce documents that make us wince, but you will be spared the discomfort of being aware how much really _bad_ typesetting is being done these days by expensive packages. TeX can be a bear to work with, but that's often because it has strong aesthetic opinions of its own, which you override only with great difficulty and at your peril. ``For what shall it profit a man, if +-------------------------------------+ he shall gain the whole world, and yet | Joshua W.

Actually I believe Frame does use parts the TeX line breaking algorithm. As for the math-related features of Frame, it is a joke. They are among the ugliest, most inflexible equations on the planet. That is the primary reason we wrote EquationBuilder (I unfortunately do notice typesetting, but really prefer to work in a WYSIWYG environment) As for your final point, I agree completely.

The TeX system has one of the better mechanisms for producing "good-looking" documents.

I've mentioned on a couple of previous occasions that a year or two ago I had the "delight" of typesetting a 400-page book, in FrameMaker. I thought we'd done pretty well, until we got the manuscript back from the proofreader. In addition to all our other oversights, almost every equation had comments about layout. And, really, quite rightly so. It wasn't good. I went back over, how many...? certainly over 50, resetting them in EqB. It was fairly easy and painless to do, and we got *much* better results. As someone else who appreciates good layout, I found it well worthwhile. So thanks again to EqB's developers, and a solid recommendation for their product. Have fun, mmalc.

You can do all your documents on that laser printer using a Courier font. The printer is the same, your documents will look like crap. You use different fonts because it improves the quality of your output. Similarly, TeX has a better idea of what to do with fonts (and many other things) than most WYSIWYG programs that I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I almost always use WYSIWYG too, because I'm generally lazy and I'm not all that picky about getting the perfect-looking document. However, if I did want the perfect-looking document, there's no question I'd head for TeX to do it. Particularly for large documents, where it's absurd to go thru and fix page-breaks & paragraph spacing by hand (never mind issues like kerning, which no one even attempts to fix by hand in a WYSIWYG processor). So, yes, I'd say that TeX will take the most advantage of the capabilities of your fine laser printer. If you don't think so, well, you can also print all your papers in Courier. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

A user really deletes the message with the attachment, and does a compact. However, sometimes (not sure what causes it) the attachment is still in the mbox directory. What version of the OS are you using? This was a problem I found in either 3.0 or 3.1. It is usually a problem with large attachments. The easiest workaround I found was to periodically select all the messages in Active.mbox and transfer them to an empty mailbox called 'new-Active.mbox'. I would then close the Active.mbox by clicking on the X at the top right of the window, and then delete the Active.mbox from the Mailboxes panel or from the File Viewer. Then I would rename 'new-Active.mbox' to 'Active.mbox'. The transfer would leave behind the orphan attachments. TjL -- Timothy J. Luoma <476tjl@ptsmail.ptsem.edu> ASCII Email only!

Things seem to be working just fine with the exception of the system clock. (not able to keep correct time in both Windows 95 and NeXT - one has correct time and one doesn't) If you happen to have a version of OS/2, you can install the Boot Manager and have that boot to Windows 95 and NeXT.

On the other hand while Equation Builder is certainly the best equation editor I have seen, I do not see equation editors as a reasonable solution to producing mathematical documents. A far better approach would be to integrate EqB into some good word processor, or alternatively to use Scientific Workplace which is an extremely nice interface to both LaTeX and Maple.

Without total control over the design models, I couldn't justify the cost of the app. I didn't see things in that app that I couldn't do in Frame, and since Frame has a more widely-used file format (and with that comes a larger userbase) and more control over the document, I recommended Frame (with reservations about the version).

I think I remember seeing this app in the back of a NeXTWORLD magazine, but that was it. From the screenshot, it looked like it had keys for the stuff you can do with the text object, which (if true) would mean a real feature deficiency for word processing users. I'd like to try it if it's out. I agree that these things are available, but virtually all of the NS word processing/DTP market leaves so much to be desired, I believe it's cheaper in the long run to switch platforms and buy something more mainstream or use TeX (available on most any platform).

ITS was working with Pages to develop an HTML-specific design model that could be used for the creation of WWW pages. Pages unfortunately went out of business. ITS, because we had an interest in the HTML design model, agreed to take over Pages (the product), and convert it into WebPages. So Pages customers at the least have someone to talk to about the product, instead of having it completely unsupported. I haven't worked very much with Pages/WebPages myself, so I'm not familiar with its current status. However, I think that you can still get all of the design models that we have.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada.

So Pages customers at > the least have someone to talk to about the product, instead of > having it completely unsupported. And I'm really happy that someone got it because it is a very promising product. I'd like to know if there are any development plans to spruce-up WebPages to give it some, IMO, sorely need features? 1) To make separate webpages, I need to make a new document for each. It would be great if I could define web page breaks and WebPages would be able to save multiple html files into a single directory. It is a real drag when my web site has say 100 different pages to go, to have to open 100 documents, rather than having 1 website document with 100 page breaks... 1b) It would be useful to save multiple webpages in a single directory, because then the documents and web servers can take advantage of performance enhancements like not needing to load up the same graphic twice. e.g. if I have a boarder I use on every one of my many webpages on my website, currently WebPages makes multiple copies of that same element through out all of the documents... It would be neeto if WebPages would be smart enough to make these optimizations automatically. 2) WebPage XFormat to GIF converter is not the best I've seen. The results when using nice 24bit color images are sometimes grainy... It would be nice to be able to choose what/how you want particular images rendered. e.g. So maybe I want most things rendered to a gif format, some lame images might be specifically tagged to render as high lossy/high compression jpeg formats, while really important images might be tagged to render as low lossy/low compression jpeg formats... 3) The tables are great, but now that tables are supported in 'text' mode, and update to accommodate its use. 4) Support for color text, backgrounds, and background images. Or maybe these are functions that are already possible and I'm just ignorant of how to accomplish them? If these are possible, please let me know how! Overall, the product is great... It saves a great deal of time, and I've barely had to go into and edit the html's. But it really could use some polish--especially on the multi-webpage/performance front. I hope this product isn't forgotten and allowed to die. I bought it after the ITS webObject 'scandal.' So there certainly should be a market for it... -- Thanks, take care, later, John Kheit )^> %^) =^) monoChrome, Inc. | New York Law School NEXTSTEP Developer | Opinions expressed represent me only...

First of all, it's universally accepted among mathematicians. You can send someone the ascii raw tex files and they can pretty much read it without even having to compile it (into a dvi document). But that's neither here nor there. The true advantage of (La)TeX as others have expressed, is that it makes things work right. I've used M$ Word, Framemaker, and many others for writing math stuff, and once I got to an equation, it felt like going from 80 MPH in a Porsche to running in quicksand with leg-irons. M$ Word (or any other WYSIWYG WP) do not do justice with \Sigma versus \sum, does not properly do exponentiation: a^{b^{c}} versus {a^{b}}^{c} is completely foreign to WYSIWYG word processors. You cannot do \[\frac{<lot's of stuff>}{<complicated looking denominator>}\] easily on other WPs. In my thesis, I had to do a lot of commutative diagrams. Typing in, and using \newcommands made things a breeze. Mouse clicking would be as archaic as hammer and chisel. One of the most telling things that Leslie Lamport wrote in his LaTeX book is that the writer should be concentrating on the content, not on the display. Yet, the display is extremely important as a vehicle for good communications. (La)TeX does this best by letting the writer concentrate on the content. All the others require the writer to stop her writing mode to contemplate on the display. Makes it harder to concentrate, and when one's writing a PhD thesis, that's the last thing one wants to deal with. EDEW

Works as advertised. > - is it applicable to timecritical problems ? Well, it is slower than Obj-C since it is an interpreted language, but no slower than plain TCL. I guess its usefulness depends upon what you plan to do with it. It certainly is a good way to easily add scriptability to an app! It is also a nice way to build an app quickly (interactively). Later, if you need to speed up parts of the app, translate them to Obj-C. > - what are the main advantages compared with pure tcl ? The integration with the Obj-C runtime is very impressive. This makes it work much better than plain TCL in a NeXT environment. Plus, it makes the above mentioned translation from TCL to Obj-C easier. Objective TCL adds an object construct to TCL. Thus, you can have objects that are TCL objects, Obj-C objects, or a combination of TCL and Obj-C. You can find out, method for method, if the implementation is in TCL or Obj-C, but you usually don't have to know or even care. This transparency reminds me of the PDO system-- you often don't know or care if an object is remote. With Obj-TCL it is language independence instead of location independence. What excites me is that this technology could be extended to integrate other OO languages as well, making implementations yet more independent. Imagine being able to do parts of the object in Smalltalk, or Pascal, or whatever... And all this thanks to the dynamics of the Obj-C runtime. As I see it, the more experience I get, the more I appreciate that runtime! > I am interested in comments to all other questions, too. Me too. Post a summary of what responses you get. I'm particularly interested because I'm working on a review of the product for the next issue of NEXT IN LINE and I'd like to hear others' reactions to it. Obviously, I like what I've seen. But I'd like to hear other opinions, too. IMHO, the only downside is that it is using TCL instead of interpreting Obj-C. That would be really nice. But there are also some extremely good reasons for using TCL... -- Later, -Don Yacktman yackd@xmission.com don@misckit.com

One solution would be to install NeGeN/NiNe's CNews package for NeXTSTEP and then you could set your machine up as it's own local nntp server. You could poll for and distribute news off-site at night and still read/post using any of the nntp newsreaders out there. The most recent information I have about this package is that it can be found at: ftp://ftp.nl.net/pub/comp/next/NeGeN-2.0_CNews.NIHS.b.tar.gz Full distribution, contains CNewsTools and CNewsConfig packages. ftp://ftp.nl.net/pub/comp/next/NeGeN-2.0_CNews.README.rtf The readme file for the above. May we humbly suggest that when you go looking for a newsreader that you give some consideration to NewsFlash (which incidentally is optimized for use over slow dial-up links if you decide not to install CNews). More information and a free evaluation copy of NewsFlash are available from our web page http://www.wolfware.com or our ftp server ftp://ftp.wolfware.com. The most recent public release of NewsFlash version 1.334 does not support threading although we do now have threading working in-house and expect a new release with thread support before the end of the year.

The problem with reading CryptorBundle mails on non-NeXT machines is about the same as with nextmail mails. It would be preferable to have a MIME/PGP interface to use PGP in NeXTmail, but I guess this would be more difficult to implement. Basically it should work like this: the mail you receive is a uuencoded compressed tar file, but the begin line only identifies it as .tar. If you call uudecode (e.g. from elm), you will end up with a .something.tar Rename this file to something.tar.Z, call uncompress something.tar.Z then tar xvf something.tar. You will end up with a file whose name I currently not remember (tar tells you), which as ASCII-shielded PGP message, i.e. you can now call pgp this.file to decrypt it. The result should be a tar again, which then contains the rtf text of the mail and all attachments (maybe it is also compressed, but I don't think so). Maybe I have confused some things here, you should always be able to figure out what the file you have just created/decoded etc is by calling file this.file, it will tell you if it is compressed, tar etc. (At least I think the file command can do that, I have long replaced it with the free file command by Ian Darwin, which is much more flexible). bye, Alexander -- Alexander Lehmann, | "On the Internet, alex@hal.rhein-main.de (plain, MIME, NeXT) | nobody knows alexlehm@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de (plain) | you're a dog." !!CHANGED!! http://www.student.informatik.th-darmstadt.de/~alexlehm/

How do non-NeXT users decrypt PGP mail > that is sent from a NeXT with Cryptor Bundle? > Please send me a short note if you've been able to do so!! CryptorBundle only works with NeXTmail. What I mean by that is that when you encrypt a message using that bundle, the other person is getting a NeXTmail-formatted message. So, the quick answer to the question is probably that they need to do all the NeXTmail-specific steps, as well as PGP. I don't know if the PGP step is done before or after the other steps (which would be "gnutar", "compress", and "uuencode"). A better answer is to suggest that you use Scott Hess' TickleServices.app, and then look for something called "PGP.ts". These are some tickleservices which implement PGP-related options on your services menu. So, you could select some plain-ascii text, hit the service, type in the destination(s) -- and your password, if you're digitally signing it. Then post *that* to your friends who don't have NeXTmail. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

I'd recommend waiting to see if any of the NS GUI newsreaders fully exploit both kinds of threading: Following threads of posts correctly according to the article ID references, and providing a multi-threaded program so you can read and compose news while downloading and uudecoding or unsharing other posts simultaneously. > Both are free. RadicalNews is free now, but I believe it will not be free forever. On the other hand, I've heard nothing about Alexandra going commercial. I'd also check out NewsFlash (commercial, but available as a demo from http://www.wolfware.com). NewsFlash has an intuitive UI that is multithreaded for some operations and it's attractively priced. If you wouldn't mind using a CLI newsreader, I highly suggest slrn (ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slrn -- get both slang and slrn, compile slang first). Like Alexandra, it's free and comes with all sources. It also compiles easily on a wide variety of UNIX machines. Unlike any NS GUI newsreader, it follows news threads properly and offers an intuitive and slightly graphical interface for picking articles to read. It's incredibly customizable even if you don't edit the source code at all, and will become more so when the S-lang interpreter is put in.

To add user manpage directories for Edit.app, you have to edit the file /NextApps/Edit.app/{English|German|French|...}.lproj/UI.strings You will find a line that says: "MAN_COMMAND" = "man -M /usr/man %s | editFilter"; change it to "MAN_COMMAND" = "man -M /usr/local/man:/usr/man %s | editFilter"; It might also work to remove the "-M ..." option completely to let the shell expand the $MANPATH environment variable, but I did not try that and am not sure if Edit.app reads the environment.

Pages (the company) came out with the Web design models while they were still the developer. ITS didn't "kill" anything. ITS did not turn Pages into WebPages (Pages, the company, did that). Pages (the company) was leaving NeXTSTEP development for "new product development" (so they said), and ITS bought up the products that ITS was interested in. If it wasn't for that interest from ITS, it's not clear that there would be any support at all for either WebPages or Pages -- which really are still just one product. I don't know what ITS's plans are with WebPages, but certainly I'm fairly interested in it. I own a copy of Pages/WebPages, and liked the idea. Note that the "ITS" that's in my signature is a completely different company than the "IT Solutions" being talked about in this context... I'm in the Information Technology Services part of RPI (a college). So my only interest is as an owner of the Pages product. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

However I can say that WordPerfect6.1 appears to be OK (it's being tested as I write this!). WP6 requires PseudoEnhanced mode. This means you must start windows with "win /3" before installing it. Following the install WP6.0 should just work (starting windows WITHOUT the /3). However WPCorp changed a module name for 6.1, so to run 6.1 you should edit the file c:\windows\win.ini There's a line: WPWIN60=0x80000000 You need to add another line beneath it: WPWIN61=0x80000000 wp6.1 should then work. I haven't looked at the other PerfectOffice apps (I was about to, but the CD is dead), but its likly that they will also require similar treatment (or may require full enhanced mode). For more info check the online help on PseudoEnhanced mode. Sorry I can't be more helpfull, Ian

If you are looking for something simple for personal use, there is a demo application that was written to "show the power of [this] browser class". It is on many of the FTP sites. It is called something like ToDo. You get the source (since one point is to demo this object, you need source) and can build it for any platform. Last time I checked, there was also an executable only that supported both Black & White, but not HP or Solaris. I have been using this for about 3 months to keep track of deadlines. The one problem that I have with it is that it has only a daily resolution, so can't be used for scheduling meetings and appointments. Peter Richardson

Most of this info can be obtained via finger -l fortran@gate.gnu.ai.mit.edu Actually, that's a large enough file that you might prefer finger -l fortran@gate.gnu.ai.mit.edu > g77.info My vague memory is the front end g77 is about 4Mb, but if you haven't already installed the back end, gcc, you'll need that too and the whole thing will end up at 29.5 Mb. Of course, a lot of that can be tossed or compressed after installation. I'll let others comment on the code quality and compatibility; I've had no trouble with f77 code in physics applications. Email me if you'd like my notes on NS 3.2 installation (not too tricky). Good Luck!

To quote from the release: GNU Fortran (g77) Version 0.5.16 Released by Craig Burley This release includes many changes since 0.5.15. A list is included below. Perhaps the most significant improvement is that this version of g77 provides support for integration with gcc-2.7.0.

No more than $150. Any suggestions or companies to try? Only on NS would it be acceptable to pay $100 or so for PPP or SLIP. You could spend that money on an OS that *comes with* PPP. Anyhow, there are two free options, but neither is easy to setup if you have absolutely no experience with Unix or NS (much like anything else involving Unix). Perkins' PPP and TransSys SLIP are the two I'd suggest looking into (TransSys is no longer in business, so CSLIP licenses will have to be purchased from someone else). Both come with installation instructions and are easier to install and control than they used to be, but neither are fully automated. If you want support for dynamic PPP or SLIP, things get more difficult. If you want something easier to install, Morningstar sells SLIP (perhaps PPP now too). Unfortunately, this comes at an unreasonably high price (beyond $150; last time I checked it was several hundred). If you want to use inexpensive and popular GUI-driven Internet apps, I suggest using a popular OS like Windows 95 which comes with PPP support.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

If you look in the OmniWeb.app directory there is a program in there called OpenURL which you can call, well you can run it from the commmand line and it works, with a URL and OmniWeb opens a new windows and loads the URL. The only problem with it is it puts the new window at the back of the OmniWeb window stack. If anyone knows how I can force this window to the front I'd be interested. Cheers Rupert.

Or you could, as you suggest, use this as a chance to upgrade to 3.3, which has a much improved Mail.app which can send/receive MIME, and also will integrate into your existing setup. You can also use folders inside the Mailboxes folder to hierarchically organize your email (even a better reason than MIME capabilities). You'll also have the Foundation Kit, which will be required equipment soon, and more and more as 4.0 approaches. There you go, not one, not two, but THREE solutions, ranging from short-to-long term and free--to--cost-of-upgrade. Personally, I think you want to upgrade.

Consider the following example: In file t1.c: int s; extern void func(); main () { s = 10; printf ("s = %d\n", s); func (); printf ("s = %d\n", s); } In file t2.c int s; void func () { s = 20; } The linker provides no errors or warnings that variable `s' is declared in both modules. When the program is run, we get s = 10 s = 20 which certainly seems to be a revolting development. Is there a way to get the linker to warn of multiple definitions? Does EVERY variable declared external to a program have to be declared static to prevent this from happening? Responses by e-mail appreciated. hunke@ernie.sfsu.edu

We need some feedback from developers about effective testing environments. We would like to "stress" test or developed systems by using known test cases. We already use a product in other environments that lets us enter a case once and replay it time and time again. Also it lets us "clone" the case and make modifications so we can effectively capture a specimen, edit, easily ( perl etc. ) and come up with varying test cases in a reasonable space of time. We would like to know if anyone knows of such a product for Next. 2. We need to examine the messages passed between objects, and the timing details ( etc.) after a test session is run. 3. any other tools that people have found valuable over time in the NExt development environment.

If you're trying to launch a URL from one window to OmniWeb then you should be able to invoke the OmniWeb service that is available on most other app's Services menu. Check if you have a Services->OmniWeb->Open URL menu. If so, Simply highlight the URL in place and hit Command-Shift-U. -Ez

Bibliofile does EXACTLY this, and works with bibtex format, so its realy easy to produce reference lists for papers from it. From the help file: "Bibliofile is a utility for constructing, maintaining and using bibliographic databases. It has been designed for use with BiBTeX, although future releases will provide more general support for wordprocessors and page layout programs. This document introduces the -version of Bibliofile. Pending reports from a number of sites, Bibliofile 1.0 will be released in August 1993. This current version of Bibliofile expires in January 1994. Bibliofile is currently available for use on Black and White hardware running the NeXT operating system. Note : import support for Refer has been suspended while we attempt to establish more consistent mappings between Refer and BiBTeX." I've got the beta for black hardware, but I'm not sure how far it was distributed, or what happened to any further releases. Personally I never really needed it, but it sounds just your thing... Ian

This is exactly what I was talking about: there is no ready-to-run configuration for slip/ppp connections that includes reading and posting of articles. The only item of information the user should have to enter is probably the name of the news-server, everything else can be automated (this is even possible on Windoze and should be much easier to do with NeXTStep!). Furthermore I do not think that all the overhead of any cnews-package is really needed for simply reading and posting news - most of the functions are already built into the newsreaders and there is no need for an additonal local server, crontab entries or the like. --- Wolfgang Ambrosch | E-Mail ambrosch@ping.at Jaegerhausgasse 16 | Fax +43 2252 47 690 A-2500 Baden | Phone +43 2252 46 817 Austria | NeXTMail and MIME welcome

The modem sits on COM port A. I'm running NXFax, so there's an entry in gettytab put there by the NXFax installer which reads # NXFax dialup on port A NXFaxA:ap:p8:im=\r\n\r\nNeXT / NXFax (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\r\n\r:lm=\r\n%h modem login\72 :sp#38400: but the same problem below happens if I don't have NXFax running and instead just use the gettytab entry (by changing and turning on an entry in ttys). The fax works great both ways: in particular, the modem will answer and receive fax calls. The problem is this: when I call in to this phone line remotely, namely I place a data call to this phone line, hoping to connect to my machine from home, the modem answers and prints out the banner line, then it asks me for my username, but instead of then prompting for a password it prints a few characters of seeming garbage and that's all. No connection, and hitting my password or any other keystrokes on the dialing-in remote machine does not produce any effect. According to the man page entries, getty does whatever it was told to in the gettytab file, and then hands control to login in order to authenticate the login. Apparently this is where things hang; perhaps a bau rate or parity change occur. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? What should I try next? Thanks very much in advance!

From the NS 4.0 rumors, it looks like NeXT will bundle PPP in NS 4. But for current users I can recommend the free NeXT-ppp 2.2 port, PopOver.app, GateKeeper.app. I had no experience with Unix or NS administration and PPP connections, but the installation was pretty straight forward. My big problems were the chat script, which is an ISP unique problem, and the mailhost configuration. Amazingly, I was able to get the connection up all by myself, and run FTP, telnet, use OmniWeb and Spiderwoman, and read news. Right now, all I need to do is start up GateKeeper, and click on the Link menu option, and that's pretty much it. It also gave me some good experience in administering my own computer which I think is pretty valuable :-) It's easy with MS Windows and DOS because, for the most part, the ISP provides you with the software. Any unique ISP things are automatically solved... if you try with the bare bones Windows/DOS provided utilities, I'd imagine it would be just as difficult. Now, a graphical front end to tip would be very useful :-) As for newsreaders, you can try: Alexandria Newsgrazer NewsFlash RadicalNews Kiwi ... Plus the text based ones. I'm personally using NewsFlash, and I like it a lot. The multi-part uudecoding is cool and is very quick. I've tried Alexandria, Newsgrazer, and RadicalNews too, and I thought they were quite nice too. They were reasonably quick over a 28.8 modem, and were pretty stable. Most of these will get truly multithread (be able to view a newsgroup while downloading another or downloading in another, hint, hint...) pretty soon too and this would be great, especially for slower modems. -Tuan

I must corroborate Malcolm Crawford's testimonial. I am writing my thesis with FrameMaker using Equation Builder for the equations. EqB is a joy to use. I recommend it to anyone typesetting equations, even if they just use it as an aid in writing TeX code. It produces very nice output and is certainly much nicer to use than TeX, but it does have its drawbacks. The first drawback is that its character set is not as rich as TeX's. For example it has a symbol for +- (\pm) but there is no corresponding symbol for -+ (\mp). There are many other examples (\ll, \gg, etc). The second drawback is not a fault of EquationBuilder but of FrameMaker and the loose coupling between the two. FrameMaker has sloppy typography. By that I mean that when one imports an EqB expression as a postscript graphic, FM's "shrinkwrap" command puts it into an anchored frame with a 1pt border in all directions. I have yet to find a way to eliminate this border other than typing the exact frame size (in inches!) into FM's anchored frame panel. This is awkward in the extreme. I usually leave the extra space around the equation. Unfortunately, this makes word spacing and punctuation adjacent to the equations look bad. Also FM ignores the %%Baseline directive, so I have to type in the frame offsets manually. I have made some macros to speed this up, but it is still tedious and error prone. I also find that to insure consistency of appearance, I have to use EqB for ALL inline mathematics, even things as simple as x_0. One reason is because FM and EqB use different offsets for superscripts and subscripts, even when the fonts are the same sizes. I much prefer EqB's method. The large number of insets causes FM document gets very large and correspondingly slow. I agree with Philip McDunnough, that the best solution would be a better integration of EqB and a word processor. Tossing FrameMath and integrating EqB into FrameMaker would, IMHO, be the nicest solution. -- ..STeve ------------------------------------ Insert pithy maxim here... steve@tweedledee.ucsb.edu (NeXT mail)

The problem was apparently that (as I was helpfully told by the NXFax people) there was an old requirement for the p8 command in the gettytab entry. The original entry read NXFaxA:p8:ap:im=\r\n\r\nNeXT / NXFax (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\r\n\r:lm=\r\n%h modem login\72 :sp#38400: but with the current versions of the serial port and portserver device drivers, the p8 should no longer be used. However, taking it out of the entry was NOT enough: as I discovered reading through the top of my gettytab file, the default entry at the top of the table sets the default parameters for all entries, so if you don't specify p8 in the NXFaxA entry but you did specify it in the default entry it is still used! The solution is then trivial: take it out of the default entry too. My default entry and my NXFaxA entry both have ap and neither has p8 and now things work great. By the way, note that the colon (:) is a separator, so in your banner line do not use a colon, use \72 (its ascii code) instead. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions I received!

Here's what I remember: 1) place sheet on scanner -- perfectly straight or don't bother. 2) 'previewing' (basically a full-sheet scan) 3) selecting the portion of the preview I wanted to actually scan (you must choose very close to all the letters or you get a lot of extra spaces, tabs, inserted...) 4) Scan again 5) save as TIFF 6) go to File Viewer and select the TIFF file and then do /Services/OCRServant/Something (which showed the text in RTF) 7) if it came out OK, then save as RTF. Repeat then you have to edit, and that will really depend on the quality of the orignal document, and the font size of the original.

That's correct. How should the linker know? After all, nothing prevents you from stripping local variable information from a .o file (while leaving the external symbols). This is how libraries can use any variable name they want when they are local to the current source file. > When the program is run, we get > s = 10 > s = 20 > which certainly seems to be a revolting development. Is there a way to > get the linker to warn of multiple definitions? The linker already does. The problem arises because you are not fully specifying your variable declarations. What you want to do is have an "extern int s;" in a globally-referenced header file, and a single source file that contains the declaration itself (as in "int s"). If you intend a variable to be local to the current file, explicitly declare it as "static". If you follow this discipline, and you always compile with "-W -O1", you should avoid shadowing global variable names with local ones without knowing about it. Of course, using global variables really does tend to be a poor choice, anyway. You shouldn't have enough global variables around that you confuse them (try naming them with capital first letters, perhaps). > Does EVERY variable declared external to a program have to be declared > static to prevent this from happening?

Scan-X is (following the info in my version) a 'Software for the Professional Family of HSD Line Art, Gray Scale and Color Scanning Systems'. So I believe, it only works with HSD (or UMAX) scanners.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

For us, leo is one of the slowest sites in Germany; and most > US sites are at least acceptable in speed. There is something to mention: - LEO _is_ the biggest software site in Germany (and probably in Europe) - LEO _is_ very fast concerning WIN connections - LEO _is_ slow concerning WIN<->rest of the world connections This is because LEO is an initiative of Munich's campus(es) (or better campi) and therefore we are connected to the WIN which is a network primary for science and inter-university communication. The advantages are high speed connections between the science institutions. The disadvantage is: WIN is currently only supporting one gateway. So we have a very slow connection to e.g. the states. This isn't a problem of LEO, it's a problem of our providers and we can't change the situation, yet. (BTW AminNet had the same problem and was therefore outsourced to wustl, somebody who remembers?) I'm sorry, that some of you might have problems with connections to us. For uploaders it might be interesting to take a look at our mirror sites (listed on our WWW pages). Although I know that some parts of our archive is already mirrored vice versa. Although I'm a member of the LEO team, I've might stated something wrong and I'm not speaking for my university or LEO itself, because I'm not authorized to do so.

I ported 1.0 to black h/w under 3.2; I haven't seen any announcements since then. You would need FAST X windows server/client code, and I don't know if this exists on Intel h/w. You must also have a Fortran compiler, or port the f2c translator, which is the approach I took. If you do port it, I expect you will be driven to distraction by futile efforts to create makefiles.

I would like to be able to transfer the actual Macro files on one machine to another on a FD. The Macro files are stored in a user's directory in a file called "Macros" and I can transfer that file to the second machine. But I cannot make Word Perfect access that file in the second machine. Somewhere there must be a file that Word Perfect uses to access the user's Macros file, but I cannot find it. So I am reduced to having to enter EACH Macro individually, one at a time, by use of the Macro Editer. This is a pain, and I would really appreciate any help from Word Perfect Users. -- H.

They are they same in that both abstract out the database later using "adaptors", sorry. The difference is that DBKit did very little to map OO applications onto relational DBs, while EOF excells at this very thing. EOF allows for and adis in the creation of three-tier client/server DB applications. For businesses (esp. large ones) a DB independent solution is preferable to a solution that is tied to one DB. If you are worried about the need for Sybase or Oracle then I suggest you take a look at QuickBase from SofDesign. It is powerful, yet quite a bit less expensive than Oracle or Sybase. Try http://www.QuickBase.com I highly recommend EOF. -Mont

In WP's Preferences->Location of Files, you can specify where you want the macros stored. I send them to a folder in /LocalLibrary. Or, doesn't WP ask you where to store the macros when you create one? In any case, you should be able to either link the relevant directories or at least copy the actual macro files (*.wpm) over to where you want them. Remember also that for user 2 to see the macros in his Macros->User list, they must add them manually using the Macro-Menus panel. (Yes, I know, very unintuitive. What do you want? It's WP.) Stefano

If you use X applications inside of NEXTSTEP (the "integrated" mode of co-Xist), it is VERY SLOW, even on my machine... In the "takeover" mode, you swap between an X root window and NEXTSTEP. The anser is quite good, we can even say very good. It supports X11R5. I started very big and complex applications and it works fine. You can make a picture of the screen with X, Soft-PC and NEXTSTEP, but it's just a picture, I wouldn't say you can work with that simultaneously, at least not the way I understand "work" and "simultaneously"...

Actually I've reports of the included binaries work under all NS platforms.

I get the question a lot, and the gist of it as I understand it is this: the MiscKit will not compile under OpenStep since OpenStep doesn't contain many of the NEXTSTEP classes that the MiscKit depends upon. Will there be a way to ease the transition from NEXTSTEP to OpenStep for those apps that rely upon the MiscKit? The answer is a resounding YES! Perhaps a better way to ask the question is to ask if there will be an OpenStep compliant MiscKit in the future. But that implies incompatability between the current and future versions of the kit. In fact, there will be a bit of both--there will be an all new API that is OpenStep compatabile and contains all the functionality of the current MiscKit and there will be some compatability stuff to make the transition a little bit easier for folks. More detailed information is at http://www.misckit.com/ if this is a topic that you care about. Note that that site is not always up and is a 14.4k PPP link, so it will be slow. And it is still under construction. Sorry if that is a problem/inconvenience.

The background color will have changed. Subsequent clicks will lead to new background colors. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to control the color that appears (new feature thought: if the user drops a color chip into the window, make that the background color) I just happened to stumble across this feature this morning.

Date: 9 Nov 1995 17:47:33 GMT Organization: Texas A&M University, College Station, TX Message-ID: <47terl$1qh@news.tamu.edu> I have just replaced my ZyXEL 1496 with an E2864 modem on a mono Nextstation running NS3.2 with NXFax installed as the driver. Unfortunately, the computer no longer reponds to incoming calls! I can dial out, connect ppp, even fax out. But when an incoming call arrives, the NXFaxMonitor pops up, but as a status it still says that it is waiting on a call and never picks up!! Anyone out there use this modem with NXFax? I figured since the ZyXEL 1496 was supported by NXFax, surely the newer modem would be compatible too?

Below is Black and White Software's response to me when I asked them basically this same question. This fix got my new 2864 modem working like the 1496 it replaced. In the end, I didn't use their AuxATCommand solution but instead set the S18 by hand and saved the new setting as part of the power up profile. Same solution either way. I believe this fix has been posted somewhere on comp.sys.next.* before. - Christopher Date: Wed, 11 Oct 95 08:59:39 -0400 From: Black and White Sales <sales@bandw.com> Subject: NXFax & ZyXEL Elite 2864 Hello, NXFax has been tested with the Elite 2864 modem. We have discovered one incompatibility (described below) and are awaiting new ROM code from ZyXEL that should correct the problem. ZyXEL's DTE speed register settings for the 2864 are currently different from the settings for the 1496 series. To receive incoming fax and data calls with a 2864, you must temporarily define an AuxATCommand for NXFax as follows: - Launch the Terminal app. It is located in /NextApps. - Choose Shell from the Terminal menu. - Choose New from the Shell menu. - su to root (unless you are already logged in as root) - type the following commands, pressing Enter after each. Note: use the name or your modem for <your_modem_name> dwrite <your_modem_name> AuxATCommand "ATS18=<value>" Note that in the above, <value> should be replaced by: 4 if your MaxDTERate is 38400 5 if your MaxDTERate is 19200 In order for the dwrite to take effect, you must restart the fax driver from a terminal window by issuing the following command: /usr/lib/NextPrinter/exec_faxes Caveats: If and when ZyXEL changes the S18 registers on the 2864 series modems to match those of the 1496 series, this command will have to be removed. If it is not, it could prevent you from properly receiving faxes. To remove the command: dwrite <your_modem_name> AuxATCommand "" The DTE rate used in the AuxATCommand must match the MaxDTERate value specified for NXFax. Refer to the NXFax on-line documentation for more information on MaxDTERate.

I can't tell if it exactly fits your needs, but one of our students wrote a 3DKit modeler for NEXTSTEP as his master thesis. It's free, called ModelMan and available from the major NeXT archives. You might find it on peanuts or one of it's mirrors as Graphics/render/ModelMan.1.0.NIHS.b.tar.gz You'll find a README there too.

Hello, I have downloaded the source code for GIFTOOLS from http://www.homepages.com/tools/ modified the Makefile slightly and succesfully compiled a "fat" binary. It works like a charm. On a NeXT, you need NetSurfer to view the difference (OmniWeb does not handle transparent GIFs). If anyone wants a copy, the license allows for free distribution. I also sent e-mail to the authors of GIFTOOLS asking them to add the NEXTSTEP binaries to their pre-compiled collection. Note: This tool does not convert tiff to gif, but you can easily use the PBMPlus tools to get a GIF file and then pass it to GIFTOOLS. Here is the help option of GIFTOOLS: Usage: giftool [options] [file] giftool (-p|-c|-B) [options] [files...] -B Batch Mode, read and write the same filename -i Set GIF Interlace mode ON +i Set GIF Interlace mode OFF -p Print information about file(s) -c Print comment information +c Add comments to file(s) -C Strip comment from file(s) -o file Send output to 'file' -rgb name Use 'name' as the transparent pixel -rgb ##,##,## tUse rgb-value as the transparent pixel -### Used pixel index as transparent (1 == first colormap entry) For instance you could say 'giftool -B -i *.gif' to convert all your images to interlaced GIF files in one easy step. giftool version 1.0 is Copyright 1994 Home Pages, Inc and is shareware.

Lighthouse licenses WriteUP from AFS-- AFS owns WriteUp. Lighthouse has an agreement with AFS to exclusively dist WriteUp until Jan 1 1996. Why would people conclude that LH will kill OpenWrite, instead of the much more natural conclusion that they will stop distributing WriteUp? As licensee of WriteUp, LH is not master of its destiny.

It's very rare that s/w throws me nowadays, but last night I was almost screaming at TIFFany when trying to get it to do the most trivial of copy and paste jobs, and drawing a straight line. It finally clicked sometime today and I realised that copy-and-paste has to be slightly complicated because of the really complicated things you can do if you want to. Similarly the way to draw a straight line is slightly obscure because it also allows you to do some other powerful things. After that I got more comfortable, and found it rather impressive. If I get rich maybe I'll even buy a copy eventually (AFS please note -- I was using TIFFany at a friend's site where they *do* have a license! :-) Meanwhile I'll have to "put up" with WetPaint. As part of the $89 or whatever edu bundle from Lighthouse it's outstanding, and does most of what I generally need. Have fun, mmalc.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

From: edmtl@alf.uib.no (Thor Legvold) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin,comp.sys.next.software,comp.sys.next.hardware,comp.sys.next.misc,comp.sys.next.programmer Subject: Big PC problems - can't log in, many crashes, help! *URGENT* Date: 13 Nov 1995 17:28:02 +0100 Organization: University of Bergen Message-ID: <487rmi$bkq@alf.uib.no> Hi. I really need help to get my machine into some sort of useable condition - this is driving me crazy. Symptom: I cannot log in to my normal user account. Background: see below... In the 1 or 2 weeks I've had the new machine, the system has crashed on average once every 24 hours. I thought I had finally localized the problem to excessive dps errors, but this morning something new happenned. When I logged in, most of my docked autostart programs didn't start. They tried and failed (no message in console or in /private/adm/messages). Most programs would not work at all - they started to launch and then died without any warning. A few did work - Preferences, WorkspaceMangler and Edit. Terminal would not work. No commercial/3rd party apps worked. When I tried logging in as root everything worked (I'm here as root now). I tried rebooting, exiting the windowserver, etc etc, nothing helps. The only change I made in the system was to install Calliope.font in ~/Library/Fonts last night. I tried building the afmdir without affecting anything. I tried removing the font (the only 3rd party font on the machine) but no change. I checked all permissions, ownerships, etc in the entire system - no problems. I still can't start apps as myself, only as root. As root I su'ed to my own home account and fired up gdb to try a few apps. Opener and FrameMaker both gave similar errors: Opener: Memory Access exception on address 0x60155 (protection failure) 0x5095cdb in dbSwapInLeaf () FrameMaker: Memory Access exception on address 0x1e171d (invalid address) 0x5095cd2 in dbSwapInLeaf () Trying to start them from a terminal (su'd to my home account) gave a segmentation fault and a bus error, respectively. The worst is, after trying this I was _completely_ unable to log into my home account (i.e. my regular user account, not root). I get the background colour and then I get a new login screen. No error messages. I'm really getting upset at this constant failure and crashing of NSfIP - this PC has crashed/paniced/shown "weird" behaviour more times in two weeks than all the years I've used a NeXT computer. I wondered if it was hardware, but then the root account would also be flakey, no? I'm ready to return the entire machine and get something else (what, Dell? Sun? HP? DEC?) before it makes me crazy. All of you with PC's - is this _normal_ behaviour??? Here's my config, hard and software (I tried booting with default config, no change - still can't login): Intel Endeavor mainboard, Triton Chipset, PCI 2.2 controller, AMI BIOS, ISA/PCI bus (10MHz/60MHz), 256kb pipeline burst cache, 16MB RAM (2x8MB SIMM), on board floppy, 2x on board EIDE/ATA/ATAPI, on board parallell, Matrox MGA Millenium 2MB WRAM. Not sure where the serial controller is - probably on the mainboard, Quantum Fireball 1.0GB EIDE hardisk (512 block size, multiple (8) sector transfers enabled). Wait - /private/adm/messages reports PCI controller version 2.10, not 2.2 (that's what technical support reported they use...) I have (in Config.app) configured the folowing: Display: MatroxMGA2064W 1024x1280/75Hz, RGB:256/8 Mouse: Serial Mouse (v3.33) Network: none SCSI: none Sound: System Beep Driver (v3.30) Other Devices: Serial port 1&2 (v3.33); ISA/EISA Bus (v3.30); PCI Bus (v3.30); PS/2 Keyboard (v3.30) (actually its a Winlose keyb); TTY Port server (v3.33); On board Paralell port (v3.30) There are no config conflicts. I have enabled (in BIOS and in NeXTSTEP) power saving (sleep/suspend after 30 minutes inactivity) for both system and monitor. I have ppp2.2 as a loadable kernel driver to run ppp, otherwise there's nothing strange. I've installed MiscKit and "productivity" software I use daily (between crashes :-), not much else. I'm really wondering what this might be. I've installed the 3.3 patch1 package several days ago, but it didn't seem to affect the systems reliability or speed (I hear others find the system faster after patch?), it kept crashing. I have not (yet) run the post-install script (don't know which is appropriate - should I go into every executable on the machine to find what uses posix libs??? This is crazy. Do I need the new posix lib to replace the 3.2 version I have? probably not.) I have English, Swedish and French installed as language packages on the system. As far as I understand NeXTstep, the login program starts the windowserver and Workspace - all from one central copy - I don't understand why it works as root but not as myself - the permissions seem correct and this is something that just "happned" - the only thing I've done is surf a bit on the Web, download Calliope and install it in ~/Apps and the Calliope font in ~/Library/Fonts. I tried the app but it quit because I haven't installed Sonata.font yet. Could this be some sort of virus (I'm guessing wildly now...) Any/all suggesstion are more than welcomed - please e-mail me directly, I haven't time to wade through news.

OR (c/o PPP FAQ): Problem: Your pppd/chat dials the modem but you cannot get a negotiation to start.

Mar 13 12:03:12 crystal pppd[243]: Serial link is not 8-bit clean: Mar 13 12:03:12 crystal pppd[243]: All received characters had bit 7 set to 0 Discussion: This is a common problem. It is typically the result of a failure to properly start the remote PPP process. The problem arises since the local PPP starts sending packets as soon as chat exits. Since there is no remote PPP process running to interpret the packets. The remote command line interpreter starts sending error messages for each received packet (considered garbage to the remote CLI). Thus, your local PPP process is receiveing error message text instead of the expected PPP packets. Since error message text is usually ascii (values < 127) PPP believes that the link is not 8-bit clean. Solution: Make sure you add the '-v' option to chat (in your dial script) and then check the output of /usr/adm/ppp2.2.log to see why chat failed to start the remote PPP process. -- Thanks and be well, Matthew ================================================================== Matthew Reichman | NeXTStep v.3.3 m68k reichman@scf.usc.edu | NeXTMAIL & MIME welcome USC-CNTV | finger for PGP key "Brooding's the word.

Well, I think the problem is that you need a proxy server on the _other_ side of term (i.e. preferably near to your remote term machine). Say a machine www.urz.uni-heidelberg.de provides an proxy server httpd. Then, all I have to do is to issue a 'tredir 8080 www.urz.uni-heidelberg.de:80' on my home machine, and configure 'http://localhost:8080' as http proxy in OmniWeb. This will redirect any http request of OmniWeb to port 8080 of you local machine, which in turn is redirected to port 80 of www.urz (i.e. the normal httpd on this machine). The httpd on www.urz again directs this request to its cache or to the remote machine. Ok?

For me, the WriteUp GUI was always on of its strong points! I much prefer it over the one from Openwrite. Then again, Openwrite is very similar to Word, so if you are used to that ....... I am not sure what is meant by soft-hyphenation, so I can't comment on that. No footnotes currently, something I hope will be corrected in the not-to-distant future. As far as styles goes, I thought it had a very easy way to handle them. I like being able to drag'n drop the styles over some paragraphs. And the inspector panel gives a very convenient way to change the local settings of a style, without taking up too much screen space. Obviously I like WriteUp a lot. I definitely don't see it's GUI as a weak point. Footnotes are an important concern. I would also like to see stuff like Table of Contents generation come in. Another big plus is AFS itself.

Always happy to help out someone from USC (I'm class of '89, m'self). I demo'ed both OW and WriteUp before purchasing OW; even with the subsequent hassle over OW, I'm glad I made the choice I did. I've listed some of the things I really like about OpenWrite below, but the decision, for me, was pretty simple, once I investigated one feature: footnotes. OW has 'em. WriteUp doesn't. My wife and I are both writing our dissertations in English Literature. 'Nuff said. OW is style-oriented, meaning that one can define a series of paragraph styles to promote a certain consistency of layout throughout a document. This takes a while to get used to (it gave my wife fits for a good while) if you come from a WordPerfect-type world; if you come from a FrameMaker-type world, you'll feel right at home. Paragraph styles can be set up hierarchically, so that a style can inherit attributes from its "parent," though any attribute of that parent can be overwritten. So, too, any attribute given to a paragraph from its defined style can be overwritten on a local basis. Oh, and did I mention that styles you use often can be dragged from a toolbox into your document? I use this to go back and forth between two style sheets, one cramped and ugly for working, one nice and pretty for printing. Graphics are flexible (text flows around the fixed image, or moves with the image), you can have text frames within a page (treated like a graphic, essentially), tables are flexible (though since they're treated like a graphic, too, they don't break over pages). And, finally, OOE (Open Object Embedding, the Xanthus-created standard for compound documents). I'm a Create.app fiend, and the ability to link in Create images to my OW documents, *as* Create images, so that with a mouse click I'm back in Create, editing the image -- well, it saves a *lot* of time for me, and my letterhead has never looked better. OW is far from perfect; it doesn't really recognize the page as a useful unit, so that I've never been able to make it center text vertically on a page, and getting it to be flexible about header/footer information or page number placement on a contextual basis is...difficult at best, and certainly irritating. (This question seems to be coming up every couple of months or so. Maybe if Lighthouse does indeed continue with OW, it's time for a WP-on-NEXTSTEP FAQ? I'm clearly biased, so unsuitable to be the single author, but I'm game for documenting the OW features, if a die-hard WriteUp user wants to do the other half.) -- Peter-john Byrnes Online Scholarship Initiative, University of Virginia URL: http://osi.lib.virginia.edu/ Email: byrnes@virginia.edu (NeXT/MIMEmail OK) Phone: 804/924-3169 FAX: 804/924-1431

From: sarid@particle.phys.nd.edu (Uri Sarid) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin,comp.sys.next.software Subject: Help with routing and PPP Date: 15 Nov 1995 19:26:55 GMT Organization: University of Notre Dame Message-ID: <48detv$ose@news.nd.edu> Hi again! I've set up my office computer as a PPP server, as described in the PPP faq, and set up my home machine as a client. My home machine is occasionally brought in to the office and attached to the ethernet, so I set it up accordingly, with an IP address, a hostname and a resolv.conf file to find the proper nameserver, and it does so just fine at the office. At home, my routing table (before PPP connection) is as expected: gnome> netstat -rn Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 340 lo0 default 129.74.75.250 UG 0 8 en0 129.74.75 129.74.75.170 U 4 849 en0 and though I don't have an ethernet there, the machine works more or less ok. (However, some apps, like Virtuoso, take forever to launch, probably because they do something through the en0 interface and wait for it to time out; if I disable en0 using ifconfig, then Virtuoso launches quickly, but then once the PPP connection is up it will not allow me to find the nameserver EVEN THOUGH it should be finding the nameserver through the ppp0 interface, not the en0! Any explanation for that one?) Now the problem. When I connect to the office machine by modem and start up PPP, it connects just fine (using GateKeeper), and gives me the following bizarre routing: gnome:1# netstat -rn Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 340 lo0 129.74.75.170 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 129.74.75.173 129.74.75.170 UH 0 0 ppp0 default 129.74.75.173 UG 0 0 ppp0 default 129.74.75.250 UG 0 8 en0 129.74.75 129.74.75.170 U 4 849 en0 An explanation: My host (office machine) is 129.74.75.173, my home machine is 129.74.75.170, my router is set up in my hostconfig file to be 129.74.75.250, and the local net in the office (which is not a NeXT network, so I don't try to be fancy with it, I'm just one node on it and I set up my office machine using the local... part of hostmanager) is 129.74.75. The result is that the home machine can ping my office machine 129.74.75.173, and of course it can ping itself, but it cannot ping anywhere else, presumably because it's not finding a route there. In particular it cannot get to my nameserver at 129.74.250.100 so I have no way to resolve names. Now presumably I should add some route or take away some route, but when I use the route command (as I think Mike Kienenberger also mentioned) I cannot specify the interface it should go through, since it wants to figure that out for itself. I've tried many things, but I cannot figure out how to correct this and have a fully-functional internet connection at home. Perhaps the following comment is not related, but the faq mentions establishing a proxyarp, and I include the proxyarp commend in my options file on the office machine, and also a ethers file on the office machine with the ethernet address of the office machine and the hostname of the office machine, but it does not appear when I execute arp -a after the PPP connection is established... Can someone please help (with either of the problems I mentioned)? I know something about this problem is mentioned in either the documentation or the faq, but it only says that the problem is common, and that one should look at some piece of documentation which I cannot find, so it's of no use to me.

OpenWrite is the best word processor currently available on NS. OW has more features than WriteUp (including footnotes, and more table support), but a UI that is not very NS-GUI compliant. There are still a lot of features missing, however. Take a look at the recent PC magazine word processor chart and see how many features NS GUI word processor apps don't have. Overall, NS word processing is still very amateurish. Even if the Mac, Windows 95 or NT GUIs aren't as aesthetically pleasing as NS' GUI, the word processing apps on those platforms have more features and are a better value for the dollar. Nothing is perfect and there are problems in the major wp apps too, but overall, no serious word processor user would choose anything NS has to offer. The feature set of the competitive word processor apps is hard to ignore. NS word processor developers (like NS web app developers) have a lot of catching up to do to make OpenStep ports of their apps competitive.

The primary thing you'll need is another IP address from your ISP. There may be a better way to do this (I'm only just getting this set up on a NeXT, but I've got it running on a Mac running MachTen UNIX), but you just set up pppd, run routed (which will route between the two networks), and set your gatway address to the NeXT IP address. This is obviously over-simplified, but, I figured out how to do it (with very little unix admin experience) in a long weekend. Good luck. Ken

You should have a directory called /NextApps which contains an application called Librarian (everybody has this). Run the app. At the top of the window is a bookshelf of on-line manuals. If there's something called NeXTAdmin just click on it, and in the text area below, enter a topic and search. There's also a way to view all titles, then browse through the manual on your own. If there is NOT a NeXTAdmin manual in the bookshelf, you'll need to find it and add it. Leave Librarian running (move the window off to the side, you'll need it visible later) and switch back to your directory listings. Look in the directory /NeXTLibrary/Documentation. You should (hopefully) see a directory named NextAdmin. If you do, highlight this, then drag the icon (just above the list) onto the bookshelf of the Librarian window (you'll see a ghost image appear in the Librarian when you've hit the right spot). Then, continue with the searching/viewing as above. OK - if you don't have NeXTAdmin in your /NeXTLibrary/Documentation directory, then you hopefully have the NeXTStep CD for your machine. Put it in your CD ROM Drive - it will appear in your browser window. On this disk, you should find a /NeXTLibrary/Documentation directory with the Admin manual. You can drag it directly onto the Librarian window as above, it'll just be slower cause it's on CD. As far as the Internet NeXTStep sites, there are a few. Probably the best starting point is http://www.next.com If any of the above advice sounds unreliable it's because I used to own a NextStation (sold it about 18 months ago) and I'm only just now getting back into working with one so I'm relearning most everything about them. I've received enough help from people on USENET that I'm always happy to help. Good luck! Ken

You need to set up a proxy arp (what the proxyarp is supposed to be doing) by typing in the following: arp -s <client IP> <server ethernet address> pub You need to do this for every ppp client you are running. This sets up the server to route any packet for the client through it's own ethernet address. The pub parameter is crucial, that causes the routing information to be "published" which allows for packets to be routed outside the server. You could also add the parameter "temp" which would discontinue the arp routing once the connection went away, but each time you started a ppp connection, you'd have to re-establish the arp. You could do it in a script, and that is exactly what the proxyarp script does. I simply set the arp during bootup in the rc.slip file, and let it remain. It doesn't seem to affect anything, and it is always ready. I have 10 slip clients, any two of which may be running, so it is easier to just leave everything up. -- Ron Wood, Systems Administrator CE-CERT, UCR

That does work for double-clicking the file of the specidfied type, but unfortunately it doesn't work for services. It seems that the Workspace manager semy-randomly selects which one to use if there are two or more service providers for the same file type. About the only thing you can do is edit the `services' file in the unwanted provider's app- or bundle wrapper, and remove (or comment out) the services for the file types you don't want that provider to, erm, provide. -- __/__/__/__/ Tom Hageman <tom@basil.icce.rug.nl> [NeXTmail/Mime OK] __/ __/_/ IC Group <tom@icgned.nl> (work) __/__/__/ "there is no difference between theory and practise, __/ _/_/ at least in theory..." -- Bruce Becker

We can be free! WE CAN LEARN TO FLY! >-Jonathon Livingston Seagull > > Hi Hanspeter, You really have two ways to go with ISDN. The first is to get a ISDN device that plugs into your serial port (ala Motorola BitSurfer). It looks just like a modem to your software, so any devices that could use a modem are at home with it. No special drivers are required. The bad part is that you are held hostage to the quality of the serial port drivers (traditionally not a strong feature in NS). Also, you can only use one B-channel (64kbps), even if you get a device that will support two, since most serial ports do not operate reliably at 128kpbs. This is also the route you would take if you upgrade your ZyXEL. The other alternative is to get a dialup bridge/router (ala Ascend Pipeline 25). This device is attached to your network or ethernet port and does dial-on demand when it is fed packets that need to go somewhere. This is the method I use for ISDN. I have a cable running from the back of my ethernet card to it, and when I fire up say, OmniWeb, it detects packets that have a remote IP address, so it dials up my ISP and connects me, then starts passing packets. This entire process takes under 1 second. I am not dependant on serial port drivers, rather network drivers, and I can use it with any device that supports ethernet. Also, a network card can easily support the 128kbps traffic that 2B-channel ISDN can transfer. The downside is this solution costs about twice as much as the one above. You could do either of these with a NeXT. You can also get devices of either kind that have phone jacks to support analog devices like modems. Unfortuantely, being digital doesn't speed them up any (i.e. my fax still runs at 14.4kbps, despite taking up a full 64kbps B-channel when I use it). Depending on your processor, you could probably drive the serial port at close to 1B-channel capacity. It is highly unlikely you could generate enough traffic (even over your ethernet card) to saturate a 2B-channel connection. This is mostly due to the fact that most of the hosts you could connect to do not have as fast a connection as you do. (Unless I am connecting to a local big .com or .edu, I cannot max out my connection). Please post if you have additional questions, or feel free to email me if you have questions regarding your specific setup/application. -- John Stytz johns@ablecom.net, NeXTmail welcome

There are .nib files in the __NIB section that start with "PL" that relate to scripting. It would appear that, at a minimum, menu items with particular tags need to be added to access these nibs, and perhaps other patches need to be made. There is a tantalizing string in the __TEXT segment string table: "EnableLotusUseOnly". Debugging info is stripped, and all the routines show up in gdb as offsets from "_mh_execute_header()". The menu picks are dispatched through [BackBayFE MenuSelect:], which I would have thought would be a straightforward switch, but seems more complex. It's been a long time since I tried to read M680XX assembler. Anyhow, someone else noticed this stuff years ago, as posted in the Improv mailing list archive on ftp.cs.orst.edu. I contacted him, and he said noone has come forward with a way of activating this stuff. I just spent an evening at it, getting pretty much nowhere. Does anyone have any ideas or knowledge or interest in this esoteric piece of orphan software? I would really appreciate any info. I know I could buy another spreadsheet, but I don't want to spend any more money on my old cube. Thanks Lon Kelly fflak@aurora.alaska.edu

It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

Lotus Improv had a scripting language called "Oakum" that we had planned to release in a future release of the product. Unfortunately, sales of NeXT computers were slim so we focused on Improv for Windows. You can't enable the scripting language because it's not compiled in. There may be a few stray symbols here and there but that's all. I forget what the EnableLotusUseOnly does but I doubt it's anything useful. BackBayFE stands for "BackBay Front End" The project code name for Improv was "Back Bay" and front end just means the UI and controller layer. BTW - You should look at Lighthouse Design's product "Quantrix 2.0" Robert La Ferla Formerly of Lotus Advanced Technology Group (BackBay) rdl@world.std.com In article <48o0vk$f1s@news.alaska.edu> fflak@aurora.alaska.edu (KELLY ALONZO H) writes: Xref: world comp.sys.next.hardware:22708 Path: world!news.kei.com!newsfeed.internetmci.com!howland.reston.ans.net!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!uwm.edu!biosci!news.alaska.edu!aurora.alaska.edu!fflak From: fflak@aurora.alaska.edu (KELLY ALONZO H) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.hardware Date: 19 Nov 1995 19:36:20 GMT Organization: University of Alaska Fairbanks Lines: 27 NNTP-Posting-Host: aurora.alaska.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Poking around in Improv with otool, it is obvious that at lease some scripting functionality was in Rel 1 (V108r0). There are .nib files in the __NIB section that start with "PL" that relate to scripting. It would appear that, at a minimum, menu items with particular tags need to be added to access these nibs, and perhaps other patches need to be made. There is a tantalizing string in the __TEXT segment string table: "EnableLotusUseOnly". Debugging info is stripped, and all the routines show up in gdb as offsets from "_mh_execute_header()". The menu picks are dispatched through [BackBayFE MenuSelect:], which I would have thought would be a straightforward switch, but seems more complex. It's been a long time since I tried to read M680XX assembler. Anyhow, someone else noticed this stuff years ago, as posted in the Improv mailing list archive on ftp.cs.orst.edu. I contacted him, and he said noone has come forward with a way of activating this stuff. I just spent an evening at it, getting pretty much nowhere. Does anyone have any ideas or knowledge or interest in this esoteric piece of orphan software? I would really appreciate any info. I know I could buy another spreadsheet, but I don't want to spend any more money on my old cube. Thanks Lon Kelly fflak@aurora.alaska.edu

There are a few apps built for the ND on the archives. 1) Jiro Nakamura built a VISCA control suite a while back, that could serve as a starting point for more functionality. Source is included. 2) NDCamera.app, by Tomi Engel, has a lovely interface and can grab sequences at up to 3 fps. Peter Eisch's Capture.app grabs frames within a selected rectangle within the NXLiveVideoView, as fast as it can until your RAM is saturated. Short 1-3 second clips at 6-7 fps are possible. 3) TIFFany II supports ND-generated animations quite well. Once you grab a video sequence and savr it as a standard NEXTSTEP .anim folder, you open itin T2 as an animation and can then cut 'n'paste frames and sequences together, add effects, titles, fades, etc. Alas, the NeXTdimension is inherently limited by its lack of on-board compression. Even with a maximum configuration (64MB on the ND, 128MB on the Cube's motherboard), you can't grab very much very fast before you crash the Window Server or lock up the machine. Nevertheless, the video quality is superb; and if you're making NEXTIME or MPEG clips for the Web, you don't want very big clips. As an example of what you can do with a NeXTdimension, Capture.app and TIFFany II, take a look at the silly MPEG on my personal page (http://www.nm-ltd.com/NMLtd/Steve.htmld/). Over the weekend i grabbed a bunch of footage from the Atlantis-Mir docking; I'll make these avilable as mpegs and NEXTIME clips shortly. -- Steve Weintz * Partner, New Media, Ltd. P.O.

For some reason my PPP options file was not setting up a proxyarp even though I included that option. So manually setting one (using the rc.local script) seems to have solved the problem, in the sense that I can now use the internet correctly when I dial in to my office computer from work and establish a PPP connection. Strange, I would have thought that the routing table was what was screwed up... Also, I still have no answer about part of the problem: if I don't have the PPP up, and I'm not plugged in to the ethernet at the office via en0, then apps like Virtuoso and Mathematica take an outrageously long time to start up, while they wait for the en0 interface to time out. If I disable the en0 interface, I can get these programs to launch much faster, but keeping it disabled results in occasional "netinfo sleeping" problems. Is there a better solution?

DefaultMgr was nice because you could "exercise" an app and find out which defaults existed in the app. For example, OmniWeb doesn't include the fonts as part of the preferences; however, you can change the fonts via defaults...if you know the code. ;-) Maybe WMInspector does this job; I haven't tried it.

Date: 21 Nov 1995 17:46:58 GMT Organization: University of Houston Message-ID: <48t3ai$5u5@masala.cc.uh.edu> Keywords: Next postscript instead of ghostscript? For LaTeX users, there is a very nice utility on the net called psfrag. See, e.g., on the usual CTAN server at ftp://ftp.shsu.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/psfrag/ The main purpose of psfrag is to embed full latex constructs (including math equations) in a previously created eps file. This is very convenient, for example, if say an eps file of a plot or a diagram is created as usual in Nextstep and then one wants to add a complicated math expression at a particular location on the figure. Or if you want the fonts on your plots to match the math fonts used in the LateX document. psfrag is nice but its use requires a full installation of ghostscript. "gs" is called from a perl script to perform the necessary changes in the eps file. Can a kind Nextstep savvy soul help all us NextTeX users by looking at this perl script and checking if the builtin postscript in Nextstep can be used instead of ghostscript? I very much prefer to avoid installing ghostscript if I can help it.

Again, I experienced this problem when I first got my NeXT. It had been on a 10baseT ethernet, but at home it wasn't on any ethernet (at first). I put in the 'T' and terminators, and voila, everything worked fine. Just putting a 50 ohm terminator on the plug may not work, as you'll get reflected signal returns which may affect the ethernet interface. Ideally, you should have the 'T', with about 3 to 6 feet of coax on each side, each with a 50 ohm terminator. Another way, possibly less kludgy, is to disable the ethernet startup commands in the rc.local file. Maybe have one file for when you are on an ethernet, and another for when you are on PPP. The most elegant solution is to have the rc file test for ethernet, and run appropriate files for when ethernet is present or not. For expedience, I went with the 'T' connector kludge. In the end, I set up a coaxial ethernet LAN anyway, so I never changed the rc.local file. -- Ron Wood, Systems Administrator CE-CERT, UCR

Since nextstep and solaris can't co-exist on the same physical disk, and there aren't any other interesting operating systems for sparc, there's less of a need than there is for intel machines. Editorial comment: Gosh, I tend to think of the boot managers as being a kludge on intel boxes to make up for the lack of a decent ROM monitor. All the computers I've ever used have had decent ROMs - sparc, nextcube, mac, heck, even my apple ][ had a good boot rom. Not that I'm biased against intel or anything... :-) Best, Pete -- *************************************************************************** Pete Clark | The thinking man looks at the world and SunSoft Object Products Group | sees a comedy.

A friend had tried recoding to put the special letters in question within the 255 range for use on NeXT, and it works. The problem is that the keyboard has to be completely reprogrammed because of the displacement caused in the coding. My question is: is it possible to recode a part/subset of standardencoding to enable use of special letters (by removing others seldomly/never used) without messing up the entire keyboard?

I tried hexbin, macunpack, other programs to unpack the file (from an email message) and got 3 parts - data, resource and info. I tried using the font by manually removing the binary header but it caused WS crashes. So - some questions: 1. Where do NeXTsteppers buy fonts from and in what format? 2. Exist newer/better/working tools (free!) for font conversion Mac->NeXT? 3. Same as 2 but for PC. 4. If NeXT specific fonts aren't available, what does one do instead?

(Excerpt of the README file) DefaultsSystem ============== Purpose ------- This is graphical administration tool for the NeXTstep defaults database realized on a Preferences module. It stresses the administration of owners: save selected owners for backup reasons in a .defaults file (the package contains a Workspace contents inspector for that format), reload those files using a filter, search a string in the database, look for owners without a corresponding application in the search path and remove the obsolete ones with a single mouse click. Of course you can add/remove/inspect defaults of selected owners. You may also read .dset-files but without the ability to use the open filter. Changes To Version 1.2 ---------------------- - quad fat (thanks to Hadar Pedhazur) - adopted to Preferences new module size (Version 3.3) - new Test panel (you *will* like it) - smaller Find panel - recursive owner search paths - backup the whole database with a single mouse click - new menu structure - better help - specify additional owner types - more preferences - bug fixes - DefaultsInspector has new sort order Summary ------- Version: 1.3a Application Type: Preferences module & Workspace contents inspector Supported Architectures: Motorola 68K, Intel 486, HP/PA, SPARC Supported Languages: English, German Supported File Types: .defaults, .dset (read only) System Requirements: 3.1 or above (tested using 3.2) Available on ------------ ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/comp/platforms/next/Tools/defaults ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/binaries/util Use "gnutar" to unpack!

The $300 educational pricing for NEXTSTEP User and Developer is pretty much at-cost to NeXT, so I'll assume you were referring to the actual commercial license cost of ~ $5800: If it seems overpriced, don't pay for it and select an alternative. Although, you might want to consider that it costs a company about $110,000 per year to support a software developer, and a $6000 piece of software that improves productivity by even 10% represents a considerable savings in the long run. -Chuck -- Charles Swiger -- chuck@its.com | Information Technology Solutions, Inc. --------------------------------+--------------------------------------- CrashCatcher Development, Systems and Networking Administrator

I've been trying the Demo versions, and both fail to really deliver for the software I need to run under X - they limp by, but I wouldn't want to rely on them. Simple stuff is OK though. Of the 2 I think CubX does a better job of rendering X onto the screen. However CoXist does a better job of integrating X into the NeXT environment - to the extent that I think I might prefer it, but its a close thing. CubX attempts to make X look like NS, but it does this with a cludged WM that doesn't really look so good, while CoXist uses reall NeXT borders and title bars (So looks the part). However all this is accademic if you can't read the text in the windows (as has happened to me on both systems, but more often on CoXist). Try the software you need to run on both systems, and if both handle it OK, then I'd go for CoXist (unless I got a good price deal). (that was pretty balanced!!) Ian

Date: 26 Nov 1995 02:47:23 +0100 Organization: University of Bergen Message-ID: <498gvb$90a@alf.uib.no> Thanks for all the info about font conversion - the best thing I found was FontConvert, a free conversion tool with a bit of font-debugging capeabilities, very nice. I've been reading the tutorial/cookbook (Adobe) trying to find out the best way to get the few extra letters supported by PS but missing in NeXTs vision of standardEncoding... I've found many good tips, but have no idea how to make them work. I do notice that NeXTs fonts include several of these letters already (scaron, zcaron, eth, etc) encoded as .notdef (-1). However, NeXTs Keyboard.app (somehow) allows the use of these unencoded characters...! How is this done? Could I simply substitute (f.x.) zcaron for currency and have zcaron automatically useable at the same encoding vector as currency? What about non existant (but possible) lettters like ccaron or cacute - could I simply define them in the afm file and include a definition in the composites secition at the end of the afm file? How do the font files and afm files encodings interact - which takes precedence, and how does Keyboard.app manage to change this without changing the fonts? Lastly, it looks like program 18 in cookbook would work for me if I knew how to use it - I get the example to work but have no idea how to apply it to actually modify an installed font file to enable these extra letters. I know that there must be an elegant and simple way, but not enough to know what that is :-) Before you start sending RTFM type comments, I _have_ RTFM and all the on-line docs. That doesn't mean I understand them :-) BTW - there doesn't seem to be any table (3.3 Intel) in the on line docs describing NeXTs StandardEncoding. Keyboard.app has some info, unortunatley everything is in hexadecimal and Adobe font encoding vectors are in decimal... Where did I leave my calculator...? Please e-mail replies, when I _finally_ get this to work I'll make some nice flashy package/document explaining how to customize font encodings. With all the international NeXT users I'm surprised noone has done this before... Regards, -- Thor Legvold | This is the strangest life NorNeXT User Group leader | I've ever known...

This morning I was bored so I added a few things to it. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in my modifications or if there's a newer version that already has this stuff Here's a list of some of the things I've added. Better security. Temporary files are definitely not readable by non-root users. Add a selected key to your public key ring. Encrypt/decrypt Files. Instead of just working with selecte text, you can now select files in the File Viewer and work with them. You can encrypt binaries files and even directory. NXPGP will copy directories to compressed tar files for encryption. Register .pgp and .PGP file extensions so double-clicking on a file will automatically decrypt it. Would anyone like a copy of this? Should I put it up on some ftp sites? Here's the usage for NXPGP if you're not familiar with it. All of these options are available through the Services-> menus. Usage: To use any of the functions of the service function of NXPGP, you need merely to select the text upon which you wish the function performed, and use the service menu for that function. Some applications will not allow certain functions to be used, as they will not accept data from the pasteboard. (ex: Mail.app will not allow you to decrypt in place your incoming mail.) This is why I included a decrypt to window function. AddKey: Add the selected public key to your public key ring. Add Key File: Add any public keys in the selected file to the public key ring. CheckSig (cmd-/): This is used to check the signature on a piece of signed text, commonly mail or usenet news post. It will place the results of the pgp function in NXPGP's status window. Check File Sig: This checks the signature of the selected file. DecryptinPlace (cmd-)): NXPGP will pop up a requester asking for your passphrase to be used when decrypting the selected text. After decryption, the results will replace your selected text. DecryptinWin (cmd-#): Same as DecryptinPlace, but results are placed in NXPGP's Decrypt window. Decrypt File: Decrypts the selected file. You can also double-click on .pgp files to do this automatically. Encrypt (cmd-(): NXPGP will pop up a requester asking for the name(s) of the people you wish to encrypt to, and if you wish to sign the ciphertext with your secret key. Your passphrase is needed in order to sign. Encrypt File: This does a binary encryption on the selected file or directory. If it is a directory, then NXPGP will create a encrypted, compressed tar file. Settings... (cmd-*): This will bring up the NXPGP settings window. After hitting the OK button, the results are saved in the defaults database. Sign (cmd-$): The same as Encrypt, but selected text is only signed. Useful for posting news articles and sending mail. Sign File: This just adds a binary signature to the file. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQBVAwUBMLkVH+UEgizGrhc9AQECNwIAsViQl+vUpohTC6WC3kgEucChx/C9zu3V gV+9Y/gtrh7rM5k/KdhveeFkDzl3T0ZmfOoPH+5DxhLsl8wRa03xDA== =ENeQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6 mQBNAi65DL4AAAECAMYLjLf7nftnn4aXloHeiV2xWOprJ5oHh2prT4C1GLC9qlaA 1iCajqaY3o+8H7rL1VPDwyX3I2C75QSCLMauFz0ABRG0J0JpbGwgQmVyZXphIDxi ZXJlemF3QHJpdmVyLml0Lmd2c3UuZWR1PokAVQMFEC65zdUxJOkow6/O7QEBOMwB /RBVJh7qt++c9mL4TXmqeijanONHyQBh+BMilvLKmD/2wWRMq3gvlln3BJSgBsql ACAoRz+dW8fqmkUIGHmvR9I= =aGga -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -- Bill Bereza berezaw@river.it.gvsu.edu <NeXT/MIME> Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.

Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you.

If you want a regular spreadsheet application, it's probably a good choice. They also have a product for OS/2. Xanthus is not in the NeXTSTEP business anymore. They sold all their NeXTSTEP development to Lighthouse Design. I believe that Lighthouse Design has not announced any plans for Questor. Lighthouse Design already has a few spreadsheet applications of their own. The one I use the most is Quantrix, which is similar to Improv. Lighthouse Design has been in the NeXTSTEP business for a long time, and seems to be doing a fine job at it. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

This should not be too difficult. We could use the same technique as XFace (just another name). The only problem is that most people won't use it, so you won't see many faces. When I installed EnhanceMail.bundle and wanted to test it I had to search for a while in my Mailboxes to find a Mail with an XFace attached to it... Another thing to improve in the (very useful) EnhanceMail.bundle: If you have a nice 64x64 color icon for a person installed in ~/Library/Images/People/ and this persons also sends you an XFace, Mail.app draws the nice icon and EnhanceMail.bundle draws the XFace over it just about 0.2 seconds later...

I am using CGI.pm's save and restore routines to save input data and display the data on a form page that was previously entered. The problems I am having got to do with redisplaying a data entry form page after a link has been activated to view another page or enter some other data on a different page. When I return to the previous page using perl to redisplay from scratch and reload the data from the data file, the browser (specifically Omniweb) shows the previous state of that page, where data has not been up to date. Is there some way to modify Omniweb not to buffer (cache) pages? I think CGI.pm automatically puts cache diable in every header it creates. Thanks. Bela Sefcsik bsefcsik@icis.on.ca

Actually I feel the problem is that 64x64 color icons will just take too much space to send out with every message. Let's face it: XFaces are ultimately the vanity plates of email. At the cost of one or two extra header lines in every message, I guess we can afford it. But a typical color tiff is 10 to 20 kBytes and some recipients with limited disk space or bandwidth are going to complain and justifiedly so. > Another thing to improve in the (very useful) EnhanceMail.bundle: > If you have a nice 64x64 color icon for a person installed in > ~/Library/Images/People/ and this persons also sends you an XFace, > Mail.app draws the nice icon and EnhanceMail.bundle draws the XFace > over it just about 0.2 seconds later...

It would be very irritating to have 10Kbytes of info tacked onto a 100 character message. Note that the fact that I have & use NeXTmail doesn't mean I read all my messages via Mail.app. When connecting from home, the plain 'mail' command is fine for 80% of the messages I get. If I have to wade thru /usr/ucb/mail printing out 20K of gibberish just so I can see some short message, I'm going to be pretty hostile to the person who sent the message. However, I expect we could come up with a smarter idea. Instead of having the entire picture sent, have a header line which just gives the unique name of an icon in some database. If the user receiving the message doesn't have the icon of that name, they'd have the option of ftp-ing that icon from the database. Note that the unique name would *not* be an email address. I'd want it to be a name that could remain unique as a person moves around. It might be useful if the database included what email addresses belong to that name (so people couldn't cheat and claim to be the face-tiff of someone else, I guess), but the index itself would not be related to email in any way. Thus the header line in the message would be something like: X-PictureDB: Garance.Alistair.Drosehn.ma.us.0001.1095.tiff Which would mean the Garance Drosehn, born in Massachusetts, USA, "match #1" (in case there were several garance's born in massachusetts...), the picture from October 1995. It's pretty certain that there's only one Garance Drosehn, but the "match #" would be useful for names like John Smith. Of course, we could go with any other algorithm too, that's just a likely suggestion. So as a header we'd be adding less than 80 characters, but that would give us much better pictures than X-faces and we should avoid some of the problems with other "face picture" methods. Does this sound interesting enough to be worthwhile? Note that there is nothing in this proposal that would be NeXTSTEP specific... It could be implemented (to varying degrees of success) on any platform. Note that I'm also not claiming it *has* to be a tiff, maybe PNG would be a better format. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

There is a commercial PPP implementation out there. You can get current pricing information from opensource at http://www.opensource.com/ (oops: you might not be able to get there without PPP) The package is Morningstar PPP. It costs $795. Have you considered using the Free-ware PPP package anyway? It is more likely to be actively upgraded than the commercial package. There are a number of people in the DC area who use NS, perhaps you could hire someone to install and configure PPP on your system and provide the support you need. After all, once the system is set up, and you know how to use it, you should not have ongoing problems with it. Not only might this be a cheaper solution, but I feel you would get better value for your money. If you go this route, you can post to comp.sys.next.marketplace and find out if anyone is interested in either doing flat rate consulting to install and configure your name service, sendmail.cf, etc., or alternatively, charging a higher price as a retainer in return for a longer term support contract. -- ___ ___ | James E.

And you might want to have more than one collection of these faces (one in the US, one in Europe, one in Japan, etc), for a variety of reasons. Or you'd want the CD-ROM collections to include a whole bunch of faces, for people who have disk space on their machine but don't have a fast network connection.

Just retrieve the image and let the > image filters worry about translation. Indeed, that's what I want as far as the software goes. In that last sentance I was just thinking that for people *making* images, we might be better off with PNG, as that'll probably work much better cross platform. But yes, the implementation definitely should not require any specific image format... That does bring up a very good point though, which also occurred to me when mentioning a sounds-related database. If we did go with the non-URL proposal, then the keyvalue shouldn't even include anything about a file being a TIFF, PNG, or anything else. It's just an index into a database of "things", an index into databases of different things, in fact. Hmm. That almost gets a bit too useful... Has anyone done a "X-URL:" header, or maybe "X-FaceURL:"? Perhaps we should really think of these as two different proposals, and only pick one of them to implement for now. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

I think that a URL-based solution doesn't give so much of an illusion that you're getting things from an "authority", though. Also, a solution which operates entirely within the receiver's mail user agent is more adaptable to future user-authentication protocols. [If the user is who they say they are, and the email's content is what the user meant to send, then the X-FaceURL cannot be subverted unless the message-authentication was subverted.] >Where are many people going to put their own URL? To their own >machine? Not likely. They have two options. If they have access to an anonymous ftp area, they could put it there. Otherwise, they can put it somewhere in their WWW homepage area. Since a large number of people have one or the other, this shouldn't be much of a problem. There are some few people who don't have these, but that number decreases every day, and will be pretty close to zero in a year or two. >They're going to be pointing it at some common ftp site, or common >web site. I don't see this as being necessary, because each picture will only be a couple K in size. Thus they are quick to download and require negligable space. Keeping close control over the picture would be more important to me than offloading the authority for it (I don't want some old picture of me with long/short hair and that mole I had removed to continue propagating!). It (a common area) might be necessary for people behind a firewall, but to my mind that's a site-specific problem, just like having personal web pages, and it can be solved the same way (in fact, in _exactly_ the same way, if you put your face under your web area). >And if they do point it at their own personal machine, then we >get into the issue of that machine name moving over time. Why? Once you have their picture, you have their picture, right? Or, to put it another way, when user's machine moves, their email address changes anyhow, so you need to download it again. Since the URL is included with _every_ email from that user, there's no reason to retain older URLs unless your mail user agent wants to be smart enough to re-cache images when the user's URL image changes. It would never download from an old URL, though. [Even if their picture moves and you access an old email from them, the worst that happens is you don't get any face at all.] >> In any case, this puts the onus on the mail user agent, which >> is where I think it belongs.

All of those web/ftp sites are _already_ there, so the incremental changes required for them are zero. People already know how to put things on web/ftp sites, and it's understood how to download stuff from them. There is a minute _administrative_ burden involved (but isn't there one with everything?), but no technical changes are required other than the mail user agent. My proposal, such as it is, is predicated on _increased_ Internet connectivity and transparency. I won't argue that it's perfect for the Internet as it stands, because today some people don't have www/ftp publishing abilities, and sometimes some sites don't have reliable access to other sites. But in a year or two, these won't be the problems they are today. [I see the central database as something like archie, and the distributed version as something like the web. archie is a good idea, but doesn't scale well. The web is harder to search and is resource intensive, but scales _very_ well.

The new beta version of Cub'X (which I think should ship fairly soon) is very nice. I have both C-Xist 3.2 and the new Cub'X beta and my initial impressions are that Cub'X will have the upper hand once their newest version ships. The performance is considerably snappier and even the mixed mode where X and NS share the desktop is usably quick. Co-Xist in its equivalent mode is nearly insufferable being that xclock strains things enough that the cursor blinks out of existence every five seconds or so. Of course I'm sure that Co-Xist will catch up at some point as well. I think that Co-Xist might have a bit of a price advantage, as I don't yet know what the pricing scheme will be for the new Cub'X package. -- Jerry Kuch EMail: gdkuch@mercator.math.uwaterloo.ca, NeXTMail welcome.

The problem that concerns me the most is that I can't use the Cmd+Cmd+Delete or Cmd+Cmd+* key combinations to return to NEXTSTEP. Every time I try this the Workspace Manager asks me to try to save files then reboots. Because I am uable to use Cmd+Cmd+Delete to return to NEXTSTEP, I have had to exit X in other ways. This requirement is the source of other problems. When I exit the last xterm, the screen goes black. Under these circumstances, all I can do is use Cmd+Cmd+Delete, quit the workspace, logout, and hope that I can see the loginwindow. Each time I quit X, I'm uncertain if my filespace is clean. Sometimes after an apparently regular shutdown and reboot, I'll have to run fsck from the monitor as root to complete the reboot! If this is the price of MouseX... If you've been using MouseX, could you answer these questions? (In your responses you can assume I use X11R5 on Sun5 and DECStations on a daily basis.) - What do I need to do to get Cmd+Cmd+Delete and/or Cmd+Cmd+* to work properly? - How do I avoid the black screen after quitting X? - Basically, what do I have to do to safely quit MouseX and return to NEXTSTEP? - Can I get "xterm -C" or "xconsole" working under MouseX? - What should my .xinitrc look like? All my .xinitrc files from SPARC and DEC machines either fail to start all the clients or cause bus errors (as seen by "cat /tmp/console.log"). - Would you be willing to send me a copy of your MouseX-friendly .xinitrc? - Have you been able to get either Tk or STk to work under MouseX (when I use either, button actions immediately kill all X related processes and return me to NEXTSTEP). Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Please note that I don't have any particular objection to the idea for a "X-FaceURL:", I'm just wondering if something better could be devised. The main thing that I want to say is that the proposal I'm thinking of isn't really all *that* different than the X-FaceURL one. I suspect the way I phrased it may have given the wrong impression of what I was picturing. I want a key that would work into some "grand database", but the database I'm thinking of is *not* some centrally-administered one. The sample key value that I picked when talking about the idea was probably rather stupid, I now realize. That example key certainly suggested some kind of database administrator. I don't want a key value given out by any authority, but one where people can pick their own key values without having to worry that they're duplicating some other key value. So let's say that arbitrary key value (for a single person) was made from fields of: hostname the "image" was first uploaded to. First Name Last Name Maybe a date stamp (of some sort) of the "image" arbitrary number used for solving "ties" in the above [* hmmm *] So, a key value for me might be: ftp-orst.Garance.Drosehn.Nov95.0001 So that's the key value I'd specify in some new header line in email and usenet articles (and maybe somewhere else, I guess). How would some person pick their own key? They'd ftp to the correct directory in the "upload site" they pick. They know their name and the date they want, so they do a: ls ftp-orst.Garance.Drosehn.Nov95.* if they get no results, they know they are free to tack on the 0001 (or whatever) when uploading their image. If they see a 0001, they tack on some other number (or any value, I guess). Once they have uploaded the file, they can start using that key in "X-PersonDB:" header lines. They have contacted no central authority. For all practical purposes of database administration, this is no different than uploading their face tiff to some directory on that same ftp site, and then specifying the URL of that file in a "X-FaceURL:" header line. So, you might ask, "What's the Point then, You Moron?" The point is that this key does not depend on ftp.cs.orst.edu sticking around. Assorted FTP sites could "mirror" the uploads in each other's databases, and they won't conflict (assuming no one cheats, of course!), because all the files originally uploaded to ftp.cs.orst.edu will have a different prefix than all files originally uploaded to ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de. And a CD-ROM collection could just take a snapshot off all these mini-database collections. In fact, the "hostname" field in the key could be "fatted-calf", to say the image first appeared on the fatted-calf cd-rom collection. And if Microsoft buys all of oregon just to remove all the image files from cs.orst (or more seriously, if we have a case like cs.orst.edu getting renamed to ftp.cs.orst.edu), then it doesn't effect anything, because the key we're using is *not* some absolute location. It's a relative key into a rather looseleaf collection of databases. Another thing to consider is that these header lines may have a long life, in the sense that they will end up in archives of newsgroups. The *first* time I reference a given article, it may be true that any URL in it is already invalidated due to the time passed. Basically, I'm just starting with the principle that a URL is also a key into a database. And it has always seemed to me that when picking a key for some database, you should dream up a key that won't have to change due to changes which are irrelevent to the information you're searching for. My face will be just as Bright and Cheery if I move from Troy NY back to Connecticut. Well, I'm too tired and babbling away here. I really do understand the attraction of going with a plain old URL for this, I just wanted to explain my idea a bit better. I should explain that [*hmm*] part, but that can wait to see if anyone is still interested after all this verbage... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

I managed to port it (sucessfully, or so the tests claim), although it was a real pain. I believe the worst part was convincing it to not use mmap() even though a call by that name exists under NS.

Thanks to Tim Wood at OmniGroup who pointed out that there are 2 versions of the doom1.wad file, and they have incompatible internal differences. This means that .wad files which work with DoomI won't work with DoomII, even though they're named identically, and have the same size; I inadvertently mixed the versions, thus the error. And yes, DoomII is agonizingly slower than DoomI on a cube! Maybe they're in cahoots with the Pyro board people? :) At any rate, my 6 year old son doesn't mind!

Launching and reactivating apps from the Fiend Shelf no longer works as it's supposed to. There are two workarounds: 1. Launch apps from the Fiend Dock, not the Fiend Shelf (only half-kidding); 2. Alt-double-click the icon on the Fiend Shelf to launch. This of course has the drawback that a second alt-double-click will launch another copy of the app, instead of re-activating it.

Does >anyone have experience doing this? Thanks, John Roth, Hughes Research >Labs As previous responders have noted, f2c does work - but at a somewhat severe price. Fortran does columns first in arrays, as opposed to the rows first used in C. Even this is not a great problem, as one could pass the transposed array. However, Fortran insists on the array being presented as one chunk of memory. Thus Fortran a[i,j] for a m x n array MUST be *(a + n*j + i) in C. If one allocs an n x n array by the usual float **a = (float **)malloc(n * sizeof(float *)); for (i=0;i<n;i++) { a[i] = (float *)malloc(n * sizeof(float)); } there is no guarantee that the elements of a are contiguous. Thus the procedure float *b = (float *)malloc(n * n * sizeof(float)); float **a = (float **)malloc(n * sizeof(float *)); for (i=0;i<n;i++) { a[i] = b + n * i; } followed by transposition of a before passing to a f2c'ed Fortran subroutine must be adopted (as well as transposing returned arrays). Another problem in interfacing with f2c routines is that all parameters are passed by reference - quite contrary to the C convention. Unless one intends to dig into the LINPACK routines (for example) to find which variables are altered in the called subroutine, it is safest to declare local copies of all variables passed to the called subroutine and pass their addresses. Another problem lies in the typedef'ed "doublereal" declared in "f2c.h". If you intend to use float's rather than double's in your programming, a few parameters declaring the bounds of the "doublereal" type have to be changed. Further, as I recall (this happened in the distant past), using float's necessitates changing some code in the BLAS rutines as well. If you want to look at an uncommented example, I can email/ftp some (MINPACK - Levenberg/Marquadt) code. The above reflects my experience in using f2c'ed LINPACK/BLAS routines.

My current working version of Emacs.app is a hybrid of 19.28 and 19.29. I may release this at some time as Emacs.app 4.11. However unless somebody else steps in there are unlikely to be any further developments along these lines. The primary reason for that lies in the obstinate refusal of the FSF to include any NS patches into the base version of the code. That means that every time there is a new patch I have to spend days if not weeks fixing things up. The same thing happened again with 19.29 at which point I just decided to throw in the towel. I have started preliminary work on a port of XEmacs to NS. The XEmacs people are incomparably more helpful than the maintainer of GNU Emacs and so once this port was completed it would be much easier to keep up to date. There are also a number of fringe benefits from switching to XEmacs and most people who have used both XEmacs and GNU Emacs seem to prefer to former and the same can be said of the people who have hacked both distributions. However there is no target date for a port of XEmacs to NS as I seem to be the only one working on it these days and I do have a job (and on occasion even a life) which does not strictly speaking entail spending many thousands of hours writing and supporting free software for NS.

I started a drive to get StatSci to port the current version of S-PLUS to NEXTSTEP as a MAB and Thomas Christie of StatSci informed me that they would consider it at their next product review meeting. Apparently, the time frame from decision to port to initial release is about six months. S-PLUS 4.0 is scheduled to be released toward the end of this year, it seems, so this is not a problem. In the meanwhile, I have asked if they would recompile S-PLUS 3.0 under NEXTSTEP 3.2 so that it can used on the Intel and HP platforms. I am awaiting a reply from Tom Conlon who is the Product Manager for S-PLUS. I will post his response to this group as soon as I receive it.

Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: New Release of Calliope Available Message-ID: <49k83v$hu0@lyra.csx.cam.ac.uk> From: wfc@cl.cam.ac.uk (W F Clocksin) Date: 30 Nov 1995 12:29:51 GMT Organization: University of Cambridge, England A new release (3918) of the Calliope music notation editor for m68k and i386 architectures running NeXTStep is available free of charge from ftp://ftp.CL.cam.ac.uk/users/wfc/ Calliope is a full-featured music notation editor having fast graphic input and editing, automatic formatting, justification and pagination, professional quality output, and General-MIDI playback. It has been used for several major music publishing projects, and has special provision for early music. Details are available from http://www.CL.cam.ac.uk/users/wfc/calliope.html which also shows short music examples (at screen resolution). You must install the Sonata font (an Adobe font available for NeXTStep from various vendors) and the Calliope font (available from the distribution directory) for the program to work and for the manual to be understandable. There is no on-line help, but there is an 80-page tutorial manual on the distribution directory as well as some example music documents to illustrate techniques of use. Release 3918 fixes a number of bugs and introduces some nice convenience features: Error detection: barlines on bottom staff set 'not through staff', but between staves (i.e. lower one doesn't exist) display in grey so they can be spotted. Text input for tempo (on Play inspector) handled. Corrected bug (introduced during 3895) in metronome. Corrected bug involving subsequent presses of MIDI Record button. Print Panel substitutes true page numbers for All, first/last, not virtual ones. Pasting system ensures that page margin objects are removed first. Corrected treatment of melismas near ends of staves (depends on melisma for next staff). Corrected printout bug (introduced recently) in greyed-out tuple grouper option. added glissando to Connectors. Menus updated after Object commands. corrected bug involving beam flag direction for double-dotted rhythms. set/clear bar nocount automatically renumbers document. page format inspector can set style of alignment with top/bottom margins. drag-and-drop PS and TIFF image as hangers on selected object. [temporary fix for] playback of tied accidentals (except across system break). Corrections to notice when sysnum < 0. Update of scroller gadgets after an automatic renumbering of pages.

Date: 2 Dec 1995 21:48:17 GMT Organization: University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, CANADA Sender: alvin@cs.usask.ca Distribution: world Message-ID: <49qhj1$9qq@tribune.usask.ca> Keywords: Samba NeXT Originator: alvin@after I have observed that the Samba SMB software (which compiles and runs great on NeXT systems) seems to have a little glitch somewhere... If you link to a shared directory or printer on the NeXT from an SMB client (ie: Windows for Workgroups), it will work fine, but some resource on the NeXT does not seem to be released when the share is deleted from the client. The instance of the 'smbd' daemon quits (according to 'ps'), but the NeXT will force an fsck of the root disk on the next reboot. I don't see this behavior on other unix platforms running Samba. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this? I've observed this happening with many different revs of Samba, including the current samba-1.9.15p4. It's not such an issue for NeXT machines that are on continuously, but it is a pain on my home cube which gets turned off. Thanks for any info...

A couple of months ago, shortly after I found out about Frame/NS/SPARC, by complete coincidence (I hand't posted anything about it at that stage) I got a phone call from a chap at Frame asking if I were interested in upgrading Frame/NEXTSTEP to Frame/Windows: I said I wasn't, but I was interested in Frame on other NEXTSTEP platforms, e.g. SPARC. He told me it didn't exist, I told him I'd used it. He said he'd check it out, but never called back. Vendors seem to be being a bit more careful now about saying that Frame/NS/SPARC isn't *available*, rather than claiming it doesn't exist. I still don't know what the politics are behind this rather sorry state of affairs, but I'm at a loss to understand how it can benefit anyone. Frame as a company I've never been overly impressed by, though on the whole they seem competent, and their product is excellent, the others involved -- Lighthouse and Omni -- have both demonstrated extraordinary commitment to the NEXTSTEP markeplace, and have produced outstanding software, so c'mon guys -- what's up?!

It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

Try WebWriter ver 0.7. You can get it from cs.orst. It's not WYSIWYG but it works quite well, much like the TeX/LaTeX front ends for NS. It also runs a heck of a lot faster than the crawling Webpages (I used to use it) and lets you use all of the HTML commands that Webpages never supported. Eric Baenen

The Intel machine at home has a connection to the Internet via SLIP/PPP. The work machine is connected to the local net that is linked to the Internet via SLIP/PPP. Any ideas?

The next recognizes everything fine, seems to copy them fine, but when I try to uncompress them, gzip says that the file is corrupted. I have successfully installed gzip, gcl, clm, and cm (common lisp music and common music, both from CCRMA at Stanford) using this method, not without problems though. I have also uncompressed a postScript file on an IBM, but the .ps file was then corrupted, causing the ps viewer to crash. When I tried to get gcl onto the Next, I had to go back and forth between the IBM's recoping it onto the disk and copying onto the next about 4-5 times before I got the whole .gz file uncorrupted. Anyone have any idea what's going on? It seems to me that maybe the disk drive is dying. Or hopefully some bug.... Thanks in advance... HC -- Hans-Christoph Steiner (that's me!)

I did a dwrite NeXT1 Keymap "~/Library/Keyboards/my" but that does not do it for me. Is there something else that I have to do? Thanks. -- William P. Vrotney - vrotney@netcom.com

Just in time for christmas Realtime Computing and Nets (RCN) from Berlin, Germany presents you a special offer to get to know with ProductionPartner. Until the end of this year we offer you free test licenses. Also we afford you a 20 percent reduced price for a ProductionPartner licenses. RCN is pleased to present version 1.66 of ProdctionPartner, a professional tool for harddisk-recording, playing, editing and archiving of high quality (CD) sounds. You can rearrange, cut, paste and edit sounds. Sounds can be collected in archives called playlists which are unities within ProductionPartner. In addition text, images and movies may be used in a .rtfd file which is attached to each sound for description or background info on sound, like in a CD database. The program may be used to master audio CDs. PRODUCTIONPARTNER ProductionPartner is a NEXTSTEP application for recording, playing, editing and archiving of sounds. You can play, cut, paste and edit sounds. Sounds can be collected and rearranged in archives called playlists which are unities within ProductionPartner. Via documents (list of sounds) you can easily administrate sounds or search and find text marks. Therefore besides the sound data ProductionPartner stores additional informations (e. g. the author of the sound or any other comments) in .rtfd format. By the way sound files can be located on other machines within a network; the sounds will be linked or copied. Thus you can include graphics, videos or pictures in your audio archive just like in a multimedia archive. A comfortable sound editor permits displaying and cutting of sounds, subsequent level change and other effects. BroadcastPartner: We offer an extention for ProductionPartner called BroadcastPartner which offers you an automation of radio broadcast. Another extension to ProductionPartner to distribute music through networks for music production and publication firms is under development, special solutions are available. For further informations please contact RCN. Special features of ProductionPartner compared with other sound applications available for NEXTSTEP: * ProductionPartner is the only NEXTSTEP application which enables you to record sounds in CD quality (44.1 kHz, stereo) on intel hardware * ProductionPartner is a harddisc recording AND playing system, your swapdisc won't grow if you use big sounds. Therefore ProductionPartner doesn't need much more memory to play big sounds. * ProductionPartner can play sounds longer than six minutes. Because of a bug in NEXTSTEP normally you can't do this so almost all other sound applications fail to play such sounds! * ProductionPartner has a time bar to jump to any position in your sound or sound list WITHOUT delay during playback even using very large sounds! You can do this with a single mouse click. * The editor of ProductionPartner supports a reduction factor smaller one so you can zoom in as far as you want! Moreover, it's much faster than most of the other sound editors and it needs less memory. * ProductionPartner offers you a frontend for making backups (tar format) of your sound library on a streamer or other devices. Support for NeXT Computer and Intel based NEXTSTEP systems is now available. In the near future SUN and HP workstations will be supported. ProductionPartner is a demo version which can be licensed. You find the newest version at the following internet locations: ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/NeXT/new/audio/apps/commercial ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/platforms/next/Commercial/Audio ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/demos/sound SPECIAL OFFER Until the end of this year you can test ProductionPartner without any binding. Call RCN and will get a free license. These license will be valid for two weeks. Until two weeks after your test license has expired you can buy a full license with a 20 percent reduction! $220 (instead of $275) USD for the ProductionPartner 1.66 (user license) $235 (instead of $295) USD for the ProductionPartner 1.66 (machine license) call RCN for a network license You will save more than $50 USD!

According to the man page: -P printername Sets up the output for the appropriate printer. This is implemented by reading in config.printername , which can then set the output pipe (as in, !lpr -Pprintername as well as the font paths and any other config.ps defaults for that printer only. Note that config.ps is read before config.printername In addition, another file called ~/.dvipsrc is searched for immediately after config.ps; this file is intended for user defaults. If no -P command is given, the environment variable PRINTER is checked. If that variable exists, and a corresponding configuration file exists, that configuration file is read in. We have a config.printername for each of our printers, with a corresponding 'o !lpr -Pprintername' entry. Yet specifying -P printername on the command line is ignored by dvips, and the output goes to the default printer. Setting the PRINTER variable is also ignored. Anybody have any clues? We are running NeXT's stock TeX distribution, and all of these config files are kept in the standard /usr/lib/tex/ps/. -dave

A citation from the PPP FAQ will help: (see http://www.thoughtport.com:8080/PPP/NeXT_PPP_FAQ.html#TTYDSP) Problem: When trying to use PPP-2.2 with TTYDSP, the PPP process fails with the message tcgetattr: invalid argument. Discussion: TTYDSP is not compatible with PPP-2.2. PPP-2.2 uses line disciplines that will not interoperate with TTYDSP. Solution: Currently None. A fix may be possible but would require lots of work. Sources are available for those interested in working on it. I have no plans to pursue this further. However, I might reconsider this decision as a paid consultant. Email me (Stephen J. Perkins <perkins@cps.msu.edu>) if interested. I feel it's worth noting that I've experienced a significant increase in multitasking ability through the use of TTYDSP and PNI 1.13 SLIP. When I switched to PPP, I noticed that other tasks ran smoother. I suspect the NeXT serial ports require more CPU time than TTYDSP, and thus the CPU was not free to tend to other tasks as often.

From: baerb@pilot.msu.edu (Brian Baer) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software,comp.sys.next.advocacy Subject: NeXT as Windows Printer Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 14:39:00 GMT Organization: Michigan State University Message-ID: <4a9ipa$kad@msunews.cl.msu.edu> A couple of weeks ago we moved a Turbo NeXT computer into my office. We installed NeXTStep 3.2 onto it and my office mate configured it to make its printer available over NFS so we can have a good printer available to us. We then set up Windows 3.11 with the generic PostScript driver that comes from Microsoft and set up the printer to be LPT2:. For our test cases this seem to work very well. We could print from all our applications and everything looked O.K. However once we started printing actual multiple page documents from applications like WordPerfect for Windows 6.1, Delrina Fax, and NetScape we started getting pages and pages of PostScript errors after the first page of the document was printed. At the moment the only solution is to print one page at a time -- hardly acceptable! So my questions are does anyone know if: 1) There is a specific NeXT printer driver available for Windows? 2) Anyone found another PS printer driver for Windows that works well with the NeXT printer? 3) A patch exist for the NeXT PS interpreter that works better with Windows? 4) If I bought NeXTStep 3.3 would this problem go away?

From: sven.hennig@wiesbaden.netsurf.de (Sven Hennig) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: ---Please Read This--- Date: Fri, 08 Dec 1995 12:34:18 GMT Organization: Vistec GmbH Message-ID: <4a9blj$i6m@luna.vistec.com> Hi, I just wanted to give you the chance to earn some money in a very easy way.A friend of mine turned me on a company called Intercall Marketing, which offers a nice, uncomplicated way to get some more cash, just by callingthem and advertising a bit. The number of the company is 011-24-831-831 (if you're calling from the USA, in other countries it's (i think) ++248-313131). The call has a fee of $1.50, so I think (hope) this isn't to expensive for the possibility to get some more money. Now I'll try to explain how it works: After calling the number a recording gives you deatiled informationon what to to next. After a brief description you will be asked to enter a six digit account number of the person that gave you this number, and this should be my account number. It is -3 8 0 4 9 9- (this one is mine) and then you can start to earn big money for nearly doing nothing. To explain a little how it works, when you type in my account number, the computer will give you you're own account number and a personal PIN Number for your use only. Then it will record name and address for future accounting needs, i.e. payments. Here is where the money comes from: For every call made to this number, intercall receives $1.50. 50 Cents go to the account number you first typed in. But of course, now as you've got you're own account, you'll want people to call and type in your account number right away ! And I think, with the help of all the networking systems around, it won't be a problem to reach many people. Up to now its nothing special, BUT IT GETS EVEN BETTER. You not only make 50 cents from the first people who call using your number but also when they get people to call using their number you get another 25 Cents from them, plus another 25 cents from the people they get to call. So that means you get paid 3 Levels deep, which could amount to some serious $$$. An example: If you get 100 people to call (by advertising in the net, or in the local news papers), then you get 50$. If these people, let's say get another 50 people to call, it's already $1,250. But the third Level is the most important one(so you should perhaps hurry a bit), because if these people get 25 people each, that means that you'll get exactly $31,250 (just imagine, if every Level would get 100 people, you would get $ 250.000). Some good cash for nearly doing nothing, isn't it ? If you're wondering why Intercall does this, realize that they get 50 Cents for every call. 1st Level=$0.50, 2nd Level=$0.25, 3rd Level=$0.25 => $1.00. Remember that they'll get $1.50 for each call, so that leaves 50 cents per call. I normally dont try this things out. But it's (IMHO) not possible to loose much money, and just paying $1.50 for calling, and then perhaps getting much more cash, it's not too bad ? But now I stop trying to convince you. You have to decide if this possibility of earning cash is worth $1.50. Thank you very much for reading, i hope it didn'T bother you.

For example, the following: Yes, EnhanceMail doesn't do the right thing in this case and no fiddling with the defaults is going to change that (not that you'd want to quote signatures anyway...). You'll be glad to hear that I've ripped out the quoting engine in EnhanceMail for the nth time now and rewritten it again so that it does handle ASCII graphics better.

By the way, RBrowser.app is one of the few really unique Nextstep apps that I find really useful. From a modem at home, I can view and edit files at work(unix), as if the files existed on my local machine(Nextstep).

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com.

So, I've stopped work on the next S3Link version; it should be slightly strange to use proprietary Link protocol when there is standard TCP/IP. (BTW, the _two_ shareware payments I've received don't encourage me too much anyway) As soon as the TCP/IP is out, I'll see what will be the best way to integrate the S3Link GUI and future improvements (as automatic conversions) with the new protocol. Possibly I'll release the PSION Data<>NS Adresses and PSION Word<>NS RTF(D) converters as standalone tools, if the TCP/IP will not occur soon... --- Ondra Cada ocs@earn.cvut.cz NeXTMAIL and MIME OK

Since my provider gives me a login account on a Unix machine, I do my download in two steps: 1. start the ftp in background and transfer the file to the provider's machine (not connected during download) 2. download it from there with z-modem Between these steps I could unpack the archive and thin down all executables using qlipo. If I do this by hand, it normally takes longer than just downloading all architectures. As a solution to this I wrote a shell script that can unpack archives, find all executables, thin them down and pack the archive again. Because this script may be of use to everyone who has a login account on a machine in the net, I decided to post it here (uuencoded gzipped to save bandwidth). -- Christian Starkjohann <cs@hal.kph.tuwien.ac.at> or <cs@ds1.kph.tuwien.ac.at> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ begin 750 thin.gz M'XL("/<#S#`"`W1H:6X`[5KK4]M($O^NOV+6J`Z<8'G)W6TM$'/'$I)U50(< MD-N$K2R,I9&MM5Y((PSD<G_[=?>,1B/;/)+:U&W=K3^`K>GIZ<>O'S.CE6_Z MHRCMEQ-GA1WLOMF'?_"1DRAE/?4OR&8I$]?"KR0?Q:)D,F-E+OPHC$3`>.%/ M(BE\616B=%9@^LG[@\.CD^&)Q>GGWC'KC5GODO4V/\`OG,2>X]^-G=;/9SL?

Sort of, but not really either. 7 bits are sufficient to represent the "standard ASCII encoding". A clear 8-bit communication channel can transfer any kind of arbitrary binary data without conversion. 8 bits are sufficient to represent the ISO-Latin-1 character encoding (which does include foreign and special characters), but is not sufficient to represent anywhere close to the full range of foreign characters.

You will probably find that using either the NeXTmail or the MIME formats when sending mail will provide you what you're looking for (foreign character support, special characters, multiple fonts, etc), even though your mail actually gets converted into a 7-bit representation via uuencode (or MIME's various encoding standards) for transport. >> What else could do with this facelift?

Lighthouse may not want to be killing the end-of-year sales of WriteUp prematurely, or (more likely, in my opinion) is prohibited from actively touting OpenWrite in its licensing agreement with AFS. The latter scenario would also explain the long delay and silence (the latter much more disturbing than the former) between the announcement of the acquisition of the Xanthus line and the announcement of OpenWrite 2.0. I freely confess that this arrangement didn't occur to me until suggested by someone here on the group, who I would be happy to cite if I could remember who it was. *I*, on the other hand, was one of those who went public with my concerns over the future of OpenWrite; the possibility of the licensing agreement mandating a silence hadn't occurred to me.

The sendmail program that is included in NeXTstep is based on an older version (5.something), which zeroes the 8th bit of all mail characters and it doesn't support ESMP at. Even the relaying mailer of a site supports 8 bit, this will not help NeXTs. It is possible to install either smail (which doesn't support ESMTP, but sends all mails with 8 bit) or a current version of sendmail, I'm not sure if that supports ESMTP, but you will be able to disable the 8->7bit pruning. That will also not help much, since a lot of mailers still stick to the old standard of remove bit 8 and since most mails pass through a couple of mailers on the way to the recipients, most extended chars will be broken (the situation is getting better, though). A different solution to the problem is using the MIME standard to escape all extended chars and transmit them in a way that only 7 bit chars are used (this format is called quoted-printable). With this, you don't have to be concerned with the transport, but it may be that the recipient cannot read the mail correctly if his/her mailer doesn't support the encoding, the regular chars in the mail will still be readable, but will look rather ugly due to a lot of escaping. Programs that do support MIME include NeXTmail 3.3, Eudora, Pine and a couple of others, some older programs do not or only by calling an additional program (metamail). BTW, if anyone is interested in a patched version of tin that supports reading MIME news articles and sending replies with quoted-printable for NeXT, send me a mail. bye, Alexander -- Alexander Lehmann, | "On the Internet, alex@hal.rhein-main.de (plain, MIME, NeXT) | nobody knows alexlehm@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de (plain) | you're a dog." !!CHANGED!! http://www.student.informatik.th-darmstadt.de/~alexlehm/

The damaged hard drive is ide, the new, working hard drive is an eide. I have an eide card which I use to support the eide hard drive. It's the 'promise Eide MAX'. Somehow the ide harddrive is damaged so that it can't be connected up at the same time the second hard drive is, when I boot nextstep. Strangely, when i have both hard drives connected, dos boots fine off either hard drive and works well and can see both dos partitions.

When I power-off the system after logging out, the system seems to stop but it does not get turned off, unless you force it pressing the Power Off key once again. That would not be much of a problem except that when turned on again it goes through all the system checks as if it was recovering from a crash, and takes a few minutes to come back up. I had this problem for years and did not paid much attention to it, thinking it was something to do with my machine. We just bought a NeXTStation Color Turbo (32MB, .5GB HD) and the problem happens all over again. Does any body know if it is a bug of NS3.0 or otherwise a hardware "bug"?.

(Nothing to add but speculation). Like many folks, I've been admiring DayDream from afar and waiting for the price to fall by a factor of 3 or so. Now that Apple has begun licensing their BIOS code to anyone who'll take it, I've expected to see a big price reduction from Quix. In fact, it seems to me that the black box itself, while extraordinary in its time, could now be eliminated entirely, now that it's source can be obtained from Apple and incorporated into the boot code. Removing the hardware component ought to knock down the price a bit as well. I imagine that, at $200, Quix could sell a copy to every black hardware owner.

Perhaps try downloading it from ftp://eclipse.its.rpi.edu/NeXT/web/OmniWeb_f/02-BETA/ That's a folder which has four single-architecture versions of the 2.0 beta release, as well as the quad-fat version. You might have better luck downloading the smaller file of an architecture-specific archive. Also make sure you're downloading in binary mode. That's about all the guesses I can come up with for sources of your problems.

What I really meant to say was that I also tried to compile it, but although it comes with the usual GNU configure setup, it seems to be so much tied to Linux/Sys.V that even compiling with half its capabilities turned off fails horribly. NCurses and -posix are of little help. It's mostly the filesystem and process handling, nicely littered all over the place..and the #ifdefs for enabling/disabling the various options are partially broken, too. This seems to be quite a bit more work than just Makefile fiddling..

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Archives are available by ftp at ftp://ftp.stepwise.com/pub/Next_Announce_Archives Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO <your-address> If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada. USING NEXTANSWERS VIA THE WORLD-WIDE WEB To use NeXTanswers via the Internet World-Wide Web connect to NeXT's web server at URL http://www.next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY ANONYMOUS FTP To use NeXTanswers by Internet anonymous FTP, connect to FTP.NEXT.COM and read the help file pub/NeXTanswers/README. If you have problems using this, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY MODEM To use NeXTanswers via modem call the NeXTanswers BBS at (415) 780-2965. Log in as the user "guest", and enter the Files section. From there you can download NeXTanswers documents. FOR MORE HELP... If you need technical support for NEXTSTEP beyond the information available from NeXTanswers, call the Support Hotline at 1-800-955-NeXT (outside the U.S. call +1-415-424-8500) to speak to a NEXTSTEP Technical Support Technician.

Sender: news@cuug.ab.ca Message-ID: <DJrDF0.9CB@cuug.ab.ca> Date: Mon, 18 Dec 1995 01:28:12 GMT Organization: Calgary UNIX User's Group Hi, Sorry for the cross post but I really need some help with this one. A few years ago I bought an unopened version of Sybase Server (rel. ver. 4.1) for NeXT hardware . I have only just installed it to do some work with EOF and have found that bcp and bcptrans are missing and are not part of the package reported by Install.app. Anyhow this is what is in my /usr/sybase/bin directory, anyone know what's missing?: buildmaster* console* dataserver* isql* probe* syman* upgrade4* Also, if you do have the missing programs I would really appreciate a copy of them. I don't think that would violate the copyright since I own a copy of the server software and I'm quite sure bcp etc. are supposed to part of it (according to NeXT answers). Thanks for any help you can give. Andrew

One of the things this version is supposed to let you do is use an existing DOS partition as another hard drive (i.e. D:/). However, on some of the computers I've tried this on, SoftPC's complained that "The hard disk file is not a valid hard disk (disk geometry incorrect)". This *has* worked on one other computer, so I'm thinking it could be due the way the hard disk was partitioned when these machines were set up (I didn't set any of these machines up, so I don't know how the hard drives were partitioned/formatted). The DOS partitions are mounted and show up fine in the workspace, and are accessible from there, and they'll boot up into DOS just fine, so it could be a SoftPC thing. Anybody else with similar experiences they'd like to share, or suggestions/pointers? I'd like to find some relatively simple answer (as long as it doesn't involve reformatting anything :) ) before I work on convincing anyone to shell out the meagre funds to upgrade to SoftPC 4.1.

Nice to have sound (although it really doesn't work with much, does it - only the Workspace.

That way, you can collect images outside of the Web browser window, so that you can continue browsing. You can handle the collected images independently from browsing, and move them here or there, change their format, etc. Unfortunately, OmniWeb 2.0 seems to have dropped this feature. Now, when you drag an image, it gets displayed in the browser window, and you no longer have the page you were on displayed, but a window with just this image. If you want to collect any more images, this one gets lost in the sequence of browser pages. Anyone else out there noted this lost feature? Please lobby Omni to put it back in OmniWeb2.0 gamma.

It works quite well extracting text from faxes, assuming that the document being faxed is first-generation. Like the OCRServant described above, you can simply drag a box around the desired text and then run ExpressOCR from your Services menu. I use it daily and am quite satisfied with the results. Last week, for example, I faxed a document to work from my home OS/2 box. When I returned to work, I ran ExpressOCR on the fax and it returned an Edit document that was flawless (other than some formatting). As I recall, the original post which began this string stated that the inquirer did not want to pay $500 for a product. Well, the price for ExpressOCR is just $499 ;-) The educational price is $399. More info is available from our Web site under /Software/Input-Output/.

Using them as FSA drives works fine. The problem is that DOS does not like hard discs bigger than ~500Meg (counters wrap around, and it blows up). Under SoftPC4.0 when you ask to use a real DOS partition, DOS is pointed at your entire hard disc, and left to sort out the partitions for itself. This will break as described if you're running NeXT from a "large" scsi (or eide) disk. (its the size of the DISK, not the partition which matters). The work around above will work for most things, though fsa drives have been known to confuse some network aware software, as they sort of look like network drives. (FSA drives are generally a good thing though). SoftPC 4.1 fixes the problem by handling the partition info itself, and just shows the DOS bit to SoftPC. Ian

A few years ago I bought an unopened version of Sybase Server (rel. ver. 4.1) for NeXT hardware . I have only just installed it to do some work with EOF and have found that bcp and bcptrans are missing and are not part of the package reported by Install.app. Anyhow this is what is in my /usr/sybase/bin directory, anyone know what's missing?: buildmaster* console* dataserver* isql* probe* syman* upgrade4* Also, if you do have the missing programs I would really appreciate a copy of them. I don't think that would violate the copyright since I own a copy of the server software and I'm quite sure bcp etc. are supposed to part of it (according to NeXT answers). Thanks for any help you can give. Andrew

I purchased an Iomega Zip drive and have attached it to my NeXStation Color slab. No problems at all with the drive, but I have a slight problem with NeXTStep 3.3. Let's say I load an app onto the removable media disk. I then reboot the system. I stick the disk back into the drive and now all the documents that had been created by that application now generally are either 'edit' documents or are folders. My questions: Is there any way to get NeXTStep to recognize that a document extension is now part of a specific application on the Zip? Is there some tool to make NS refresh its information about specific extensions (rebooting is not an option as that defeats the purpose) ?

I also gather that NeXT is working > on "OpenStep" that will run under the native OS on Sun, NT, and other > systems. Solaris is a "supported" unix, so my question: Here is the current situation as I understand it. NeXTSTEP 3.3 currently runs on NeXT hardware, Intel, HP PA-RISC stations, and newer SPARC stations. NeXTSTEP 4.0 which is due out sometime in the next 3-6 months will become "Openstep for Mach" (i.e. an Openstep compliant version of NS running on the Mach OS that underlies NS). I use NS on HP 712's (no longer made I think) and 715's and it is a delight to use. I have also hacked TeXview a bit and there are others working on it. I would expect that an Openstep version would appear soon after Openstep appears. I don't know if NeXT is doing an official version. > 1. will OpenStep support existing NeXT Apps such as TeXView and the NeXT > editor? (the documentation I have found is targetted at people developing > new apps to take advantage of the NeXT interface, but it does not discuss > the fate of existing NeXTStep tools) Good question. Most seem to believe that NeXT would make Openstep versions of all of their tools for sale. But I haven't heard anything definite. > 2. how closely will OpenStep mimic the current NeXT interface -- can a > Sun workstation configured with OpenStep be used by someone who knows how > to use a NeXT system?

It sounds like whoever told you about Intel performance skimped on the hardware. My understanding is that isn't that difficult to get performance that matches or exceeds NeXT color Turbos as long as you don't skimp on the important things (video card, RAM, PCI). The HP's seem to do quite well and I like them because they are very good hardware and we get a good price on them. If you are at an academic institution, you can probably get decent discounts and NS will only cost $300. I don't know how much Openstep on Solaris will cost (it does seem to be oriented mostly at developers though). My understanding is that NS on SPARC runs nicely, but I think HP's have better price/performance, at least until ultrasparcs come around.

So in the sense of do I enjoy what I have to go through to format things - well I'm telling myself as a new user that I will get the hang of it. On the other hand, it seems to come very close to FM's functionality, and on NS this is a remarkable feat and treat to have a full featured, moderately quick, and SUPPORTED document processor. That is what I like. On the other hand, if I were the owner of a Sun ultrasparc with Neo or Openstep, then I would probably go with the latest FrameMaker for Solaris. One thing I have found particularly disconcerting about OW is the lack of extensive keyboard control. Writing documents and mousing around do not go well together. I will probably ask Lighthouse if they are planning a rejuvination of the GUI in the near future. Unfortunately, I am getting the impression that most NS companies are way too busy porting to Openstep to have much time to work no refining their NS products. -- Be well, Matthew ================================================================== Matthew Reichman | NeXTStep v.3.3 m68k reichman@scf.usc.edu | NeXTMAIL & MIME welcome USC-CNTV For PGP key, send email with subject "request_PGP"

My best advice is to consider the features that matter to you. If the only features you use in FrameMaker are present in OpenWrite, then perhaps deleting FrameMaker won't matter. Without knowing what you do in FrameMaker, it's hard for me to recommend one over the other. However, since you see no significant difference between the apps, I wonder how familiar you are with FrameMaker. If you aren't as familiar with FrameMaker as you could be, I recommend this book to help you get into FrameMaker version 3.x (the only version you can run on NS): ISBN 1-55623-616-6 "Structured Publishing from the Desktop: Frame Technology's FrameMaker" by Michael Fraase For some discussion of FrameMaker related matters, check out these newsgroups: news:comp.text.frame, news:imsi.mail.framers, news:osu.ai.software.ext.frame, news:sfnet.lists.framers, news:slac.text.frame, news:umn.cs.text.framemaker, news:umn.itlab.text.framemaker, and news:osu.ai.software.frame and, of course, the FrameMaker WWW site: http://www.frame.com (now owned by Adobe) Frame is currently multi-platform on popular platforms, whereas OpenWrite is currently multi-platform on NS platforms. I don't know which is more important to you, but the distinction is worth considering. Frame has UIs for the data in an MIF file, OpenWrite doesn't--last I saw OpenWrite, it lacked necessary features including: variables, multi-file book controls, localization controls (also called conditional data), cross-referencing, auto-indexing, and a table editor as capable as FrameMaker's tables. All of these are indispensable for making long and regular documents, including technical documentation. When OpenWrite imported a test MIF file I made with FrameMaker, OpenWrite's inabilities quickly turned to liabilities: Variables became plaintext; I had no control over which version of my conditional document I could edit and all the other versions were lost; cross-referencing and indexing were erroneously handled forcing a manual re-edit. If you don't use these features, and you can readily convert FrameMaker binary documents to OpenWrite-readable MIF, OpenWrite might be appropriate. I doubt any serious FrameMaker user would be able to switch given all OpenWrite's shortcomings. Furthermore, consider what you think you will need later--if all these missing features are news to you, consider what you would do with them. There are many things one could think of to improve even the latest FrameMaker, however, FrameMaker is still far more capable for long and regular documents than OpenWrite (or any other NS GUI DTP application).

So will concurrence...??? But it's not that simple--everything doesn't "just work". A common problem with importing documents from highly functional apps to less functional apps is how the latter app handles data it doesn't understand or doesn't have any controls for; data is bungled or omitted. In other words, there's a difference between parsing the data in an MS Word file and providing the user with the ability to edit it as well or better than MS Word allows.

All of these are indispensable for making long and > regular documents, including technical documentation. When I said "variables" I was referring to user-defined variables (not just system-defined). Although OpenWrite has a small set of system-defined variables, importing my test MIF file which used a page number system-defined variable did not work. When I said "Multi-file book controls" I referred to importing an entire FrameMaker book. It seems to me that one will have to turn their book chapter files into a series of MIF files and recreate the book file in OpenWrite. I was unable to save a book file as MIF and successfully load that MIF file into OpenWrite. Using the sample OpenWrite book reveals the find panel is unavailable in OpenWrite books, a serious shortcoming present in both FrameMaker and OpenWrite. I found no conditional text controls whatsoever in OpenWrite. This would explain why my MIF file containing conditional text loaded improperly in OpenWrite. Cross-references and indexing are available in OpenWrite, however this data was lost when loaded from my test MIF file.

A lot of the features are hidden behind a poorly laid out UI and some of the features aren't that powerful (like index generation; compared to FrameMaker I was able to do more with my index there than in OpenWrite). Additional buttons with unusual icons also make me look to the on-line help panel too often. I can't find any reference to the word "spell" in the online help, nor do I see the menu option for the spell checker. It seems odd to me to leave this out (spell checking a book by opening each file in the book is a major pain), and it's a shame endnotes are also unavailable. Since the demo is timed, it's difficult to thoroughly evaluate the app by loading/importing documents and changing them. Since the app can't print or save, why make it a timed demo? Feature for feature, I find OpenWrite offering less powerful versions of some features common to FrameMaker and OpenWrite, some features equally underpowered (some the same as FrameMaker which is disconcerting, like no find panel in a book) and importing too unstable to make me think it'll make a good replacement for anything right now. I'm glad there's still two word processors being developed for NS, but the choices are still too poor for me to use in daily work.

I have a 68040 cube with NS3.2 and EOF1.1 running Newsgrazer77 and ppp2.2. The ppp is 0.4.somthing, as I recall. It is whatever was current around December 1, 1995. I used to run SLIP and I had no problems. With ppp I have only one problem. While Newsgrazer is fetching active groups it sends something out that is interpreted as an EOF or logout message by my service provider or my modem or by ppp and the line gets dropped. This can take a minute or several. If I leave Newsgrazer running and bring the connection back up, over several tries I often get all the groups fetched. Obviously, this is not a desirable solution. I also have Alexandra. When the slow connection box is checked, the program works fine. When the slow connection box is NOT checked, it does exactly the same thing as Newsgrazer. (I happen to like the way Newsgrazer keeps fetching while you are reading, so Alexandra is my second choice for reader). Has anybody encountered this problem and developed a solution? I know that Newsgrazer and ppp works fine for most people so you don't have to tell me if it is working for you. Alternately, does anybody know what Alexandra is doing when the slow connection box is not checked that it stops doing when the box is checked? The docs refer to a LIST command, but it says that is sent on the first connection no matter whether the box is checked or not, so I am inclined to think it is something else. -- Bob Peirce Pittsburgh, PA 412-471-5320 rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us [OFFICE] me@venetia.pgh.pa.us [HOME (NeXT)] There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Even worse than ms word's. The >double/triple level inspector, zillions of dialog boxes...It seems >to be powerful, but I even find FrameMaker more intuitive. I absolutely agree with you, John. OpenWrite2 has a very balky and cumbersome UI, worse than any word processor I've seen, including MS Word. There are many unintuitive and graphally different browsers and inspectors. Definitely not up to Lighthouse's usually high standards. I accumulated a long list of OpenWrite's irks and quirks in its previous (Xanthus) incarnation, and most are still there in OpenWrite2. Apart from the cumbersome UI, for me the worst thing about OpenWrite is its nonstandard text object. OpenWrite performs basic text-manipulation in a different and worse way than other NeXT apps, e.g. Edit or WriteNow or WriteUp. For example: Š Deletion. In every well behaved NeXT app, when you double-click on a word and push delete, it deletes the preceding or following space. In OpenWrite, it does not. Š Extended word selection: In every well behaved NeXT app, when you double click on a word and shift-click anywhere on another word, the selection extends to include the entire next word. In OpenWrite, it does not. Š Extended paragraph selection: In every well behaved NeXT app, when you triple click on a paragraph and shift-click anywhere on another paragraph, the selection extends to include the entire next paragraph. In OpenWrite, it does not.

Finally, the release of OW2 was a great relief to many of us who were uncertain whether the app would receive any continued support/development from Lighthouse.

OK. Throw out the _entire_ UI and start from scratch. I mean it too. An interesting idea would be to take the 'browser' model of applying styles/process to subject matter ala Tiffany2.

Well if this is true, it's terrible. Currently I'm sticking w/ WU (even though I bought a copy of OW) b/c it's much more usable... If it goes, I might end up using Claris Works under windows!?! I hope this isn't true, and if it is, perhaps Lighthouse might consider buying it from AFS...

Turns out the modem on my white box is connected to serial port b, instead of port a which I was using on my black machine. Hope this helps. -- Steve Herndon sbh@indra.com

As far as I have understood, AFS is not planning on further developing WU. This, at least, is the impression I got from Greg. Maybe I misunderstood him or maybe it was just the holiday blues. But that would make OW the only wp product for NS. If Lighthouse doesn't get OW up to speed according to what everyone has been commenting on (and I think it's a bit too soon to criticize Lighthouse for any OW shortcomings) then FM on OpenStep seems to be the best bet. As it stands, though, OW's document filters are better than WU and if one has to exchange documents with MSW and WP users then NS Frame is a big problem, despite its better functionality. I happen to feel more comfortable and more sure of results with FM at the moment.

EqB is a very nice equation editor. I have never tried OW though people tell me it works well with EqB as you indicate. This is a big plus. However, I simply do not feel that equation editors are the way to go. It would be far better to have EqB integrated within a word processor. Even better, having a frontend to LaTeX is really what scientists need. The Framemakers, equation editors, MS-Word's, etc...of the world are, in my opinion, based on a deadend philosophy when it comes to technical typing (and I'm not just talking about the occasional equation). NEXTSTEP ships with an excellent TeX/LaTeX. I'd rather see some effort put into a GUI to it rather than getting OW, WU, etc...up to snuff with EqB. I can see where NS needs a general business word processor and that's fine. WriteUp is quite nice for that. Whether or not AFS continues to develop it is not clear. Lighthouse will probably put effort into OW. The bottom line is that NEXTSTEP does not have an excellent general word processor and "only" really has TeX et al for technical documents. It's a little bit like the Amiga which is pretty neat for video but weak in so many other areas. NEXTSTEP is becoming more and more a developers' tool and I doubt it really has a future as a useful scientific tool. Just my two cents, but I don't see NeXT moving away from its MCA approach. This makes for a very dubious case for its continued by established scientists. I do see where it's a bargain for students though. For $299 (NS)+ $99 (Lighthouse Academic CD) a student obtains all the necessary software they might need for years. It's a very farsighted move on NeXT's (and Lighthouse's) part. I have to congratulate them for that. But from a users point of view I'm afraid the time is rapidly approaching where it will be impossible for scientists to continue justifying using it. > >Additionally, given its track record in establishing other useful and >well-designed apps, I look forward to great things in OW from Lighthouse. >Let's bear in mind that they have not owned this app for long, and >probably made only enough changes in OW2 over OW1 to feel comfortable with >releasing it under the Lighthouse name.

It seemed to boot the Turbo fine (only once), however it took about 15mins to boot. After the first time, this disk then boots only in single user mode and "read-only", and ALSO I'M UNABLE TO EXECUTE *ANY* BASIC COMMANDS, like 'mount', 'cat' and 'more'. But i can use things like 'ls' 'echo'. The constant, "cannot execute" come up each time I use a command. The same thing happens when I put the disk back into the NeXTStation. Please HELP!!!!

I have the cron-vixie running and it does have personal crontab files as in SysV but unlike some cron daemons (such as on Sun) it does not include atrun functionality in the daemon. This means that if I want to have 1 minute accuracy for crontab entries, I must run atrun each minute. This produces unnecessary log entries and seems to involve more overhead than if this function was part of the daemon. Thanks.

Posix under NEXTSTEP doesn't work very well with Sockets and NFS activity. I've been able to build and run 1.9.15p6 using the NEXT3_0 configuration and not have the fsck happen. I added the following #defines in includes.h to clear up some warnings: #define GID_TYPE int #define gid_t int #define SIGNAL_CAST (void (*)(int)) #define WAIT3_CAST1 (union wait *) Whatever you do, make sure that you don't pass the -posix flag on the FLAGSM line.
