The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months. think about it. You see those 'Make.Money.Fast' posts more and more. That's ... because it WORKS ! So I thought, all those new users might make it work. And I decided to try it out, a few months ago. Besides, whats $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day. So I sent in my money and posted. Everyone was calling it a scam, but there are SO many new users from AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it work for you. Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail! I couldn't believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first only a few hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM. By the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly $47,000.00. It came from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough left over for a nice vacation for me and my family. Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Markus Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning claims he made $53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only $17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they say they did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense that I'm taking a similar chance with $5 of my own bucks. Not a big chance, I admit--but one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests in this system. Period. That's all Markus, Dave, or Dan invested, yet their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars each, in a safe, legal, completely legitimate way. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps: STEP 1. Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses: 1- Fern Suarez Mallorca 112 Hato Rey, P.R., USA, 00917 2- Philippe 2104 De Mexico Chomedey, Laval Quebec, Canada H7M 3C6 3- Natalie Jansen Lancveldlaan 18 5671 CN Nuenen Holland 4- Chad Collier 2785 Cold Springs Rd. #49 Placerville, CA 95667 5- Steve Boltinghouse 1009 Bird St. Hannibal, MO 63401 STEP 2. Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name in as the fifth one on the list. STEP 3. Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember the more groups you post to, the more people will see your article and send you cash! STEP 4. You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new and huge. There is no way you can lose. Now here is how and why this system works: Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses. Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money orders, but real cash with your name at #5. Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250 additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4,....$50.00 in your pocket! Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500. They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000 postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash! Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250 postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000. From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again. The end result depends on you. You must follow through and repost this article everywhere you can think of. The more postings you make, the more cash ends up in your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!! So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper. So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see what happens. REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS! GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH! *** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10,000! TRY IT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!! :o) !!!!!!!!!!

Date: 31 Oct 1996 14:12:59 GMT Organization: The University of York, UK Message-ID: <55ac5b$60h@netty.york.ac.uk> Does anyone else have this problem - any characters I send out of the serial port under 4.0 on intel are corrupted at the far end. By this I mean that huge chunks are repeated with characters intermingled. It works fine for inout - but if I copy, for example, /etc/passwd to the tty device then this 446 character file results in 2773 characters emerging from the port which look something like this: # # Yu pobblydo NOT want t eiNO wantt edt tisfile,becue it le beaus it is oly ea i isoly read # duin boostrapurn bosrp or if YP isrp ri P is enabl if Y i nbl fY seal if Y i enbl ifY senaled.

Have you made any changes to the net (routers etc.), the NetInfo- Server or any of the clients? Ensure that there is the correct ethernet address set in the NetInfo configuration domain for each client. Each client must be in one (sub)net and all clients must have an broadcasthost-entry in their local domain with the property "serves" and the value "../network".

Date: Wed, 06 Nov 1996 02:48:18 -0500 Organization: University of Wisconsin-Madison Message-ID: <andrew-0611960248180001@andrew.inxpress.net> Hi, I am using a GateKeeper and Throughport PPP 2.2 version for my Internet connection. The problem I am having right now is that everytime I unlink my PPP connection through the "Unlink" command from the GateKeeper and want to make a PPP connection again, I have to logout from my account and login as root then empty the contents of my "ppp-2.2.log" file in the usr/adm/ directory. Otherwise, I won't be able to re-establish the PPP connection either from my user or root accounts, since the OS thinks that the PPP is still connected, while actually the modem connection has been disconnected. My question is that does anyone know the ways to make PPP connection more convenient than the above method? In other words, are there solutions for making PPP connection from my user account without having to logout from my user account, login as root and delete the "ppp2.2.log" file? I think the important key here is to be able to delete the "ppp2.2.log" file from any accounts. Does anyone have pointers how to do this? Thanks in advance. Regards, Andrew.

The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months. think about it. You see those 'Make.Money.Fast' posts more and more. That's ... because it WORKS ! So I thought, all those new users might make it work. And I decided to try it out, a few months ago. Besides, whats $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day. So I sent in my money and posted. Everyone was calling it a scam, but there are SO many new users from AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it work for you. Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail! I couldn't believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first only a few hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM. By the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly $47,000.00. It came from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough left over for a nice vacation for me and my family. Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Markus Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning claims he made $53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only $17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they say they did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense that I'm taking a similar chance with $5 of my own bucks. Not a big chance, I admit--but one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests in this system. Period. That's all Markus, Dave, or Dan invested, yet their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars each, in a safe, legal, completely legitimate way. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps: STEP 1. Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses: 1- Fern Suarez Mallorca 112 Hato Rey, P.R., USA, 00917 2- Philippe 2104 De Mexico Chomedey, Laval Quebec, Canada H7M 3C6 3- Natalie Jansen Lancveldlaan 18 5671 CN Nuenen Holland 4- Chad Collier 2785 Cold Springs Rd. #49 Placerville, CA 95667 5- Steve Boltinghouse 1009 Bird St. Hannibal, MO 63401 STEP 2. Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name in as the fifth one on the list. STEP 3. Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember the more groups you post to, the more people will see your article and send you cash! STEP 4. You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new and huge. There is no way you can lose. Now here is how and why this system works: Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses. Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money orders, but real cash with your name at #5. Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250 additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4,....$50.00 in your pocket! Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500. They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000 postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash! Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250 postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000. From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again. The end result depends on you. You must follow through and repost this article everywhere you can think of. The more postings you make, the more cash ends up in your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!! So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper. So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see what happens. REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS! GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH! *** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10,000! TRY IT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!! :o) !!!!!!!!!!

The developer was installed correctly, and I *can* compile, but things are "off"... For example: > while ( (dirp = readdir(dp)) != NULL) > printf("%s\n", dirp->d_name-4); > > closedir(dp); > exit(0); This is a fragment of the code to do a simple file listing. The ONLY way to make it work correctly is to use dirp->d_name-4, otherwise its 4 bytes off. It works correctly without the kludgy fix on SunOS, A/UX, etc. Also, anything that references "waitpid" is failing at link time. I'm getting undefined symbol errors where none seemed to exist before. Also, it seems that many simple unix sources I cannot compile without the posix libraries. If I tried to compile the simple file lister from about w/o the posix libraries, it would never even come close to compiling. I've installed the developer stuff twice now, thinking maybe a library didn't get updated or some such thing... It didn't make any difference. I'm really rather inexperienced in this area, if someone has some ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them! Thanks for your time, John Ray

Nope, checked for that - even if it was then I shouldn't get 5 characters out for every one that I write in. I am simply using cat between the two machines to copy the data.

No, you didn't... you made perhaps $5. And, considering you could be fined $1,000 and go to jail for 5 years, would making $47,000 be worth it? Not only are chain letters illegal in the U.S. (2 year jail term for first offence, see below), they CAN NOT WORK. There would have to be over 1,000,000,000,000 people participating for them to work. Here's PROOF: --- The chain letters claim that you will make at least $10,000 (often they claim $20,000 or $50,000), by people sending you $1 bills. If the person who originally wrote the chain letter made $10,000 off of it, then there are at least 10,000 people who have joined so far. That's obvious; if someone made $10,000 from people sending him $1, then 10,000 people have joined so far. In order for each of those 10,000 people to make $10,000, there would need to be 100,000,000 people joining (10,000 people already in the program, each causing another 10,000 to join; 10,000 times 10,000 is 100,000,000). That, too, is quite obvious. So, if you saw this chain letter and joined it, according to the way the chain letter claims it works, there would be 100,000,000 other people joining. For all of you to make your $10,000, you would each need to cause another 10,000 people to sign up. How many are we at now? It's simple: 100,000,000 people times 10,000 new people each. That's 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) people joining. That's about 200 times as many people as there are on this planet. Now do you understand why chain letters won't work? --- Chain letters are illegal if the chain letter or money is transferred via U.S. Mail, and can get you a $1,000 fine and a 2 YEAR jail sentence for your first offense. The second offence can get you in jail for 5 years. Even if transmitted via the Internet, they violate Title 18 USC Section 1302, the Postal Lottery Statute. For verification, you can currently go to http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/ chainlet.htm to see that it is illegal, and go to http://www.usps.gov/ websites/depart/inspect/usc18/lottery.htm for the text of the law). --- Feel free to copy this in response to any chain letters you see, hopefully as enough people see this, the chain letters will stop. -Scott RSP

I am running OPENSTEP 4.0 on an Intel system. NORMAL BEHAVIOR: If I want to change the name of a file, usually my first step is to select the file in the File Viewer. My next step is to click on the text field below the icon in the path area (i.e. the section of the File Viewer between the shelf and the browser/icon/list view of the file system). If I want to give the file a completely new name, I double-click to select the whole name and then I type a new name, which overwrites the original name. If I just want to modify the existing name, I single-click to insert the cursor and then type the characters I want to add (or use the delete key to remove unwanted characters). In the latter case, the cursor will stay there for as long as it takes me to make up my mind. When I'm done, I hit the return key and the new name is saved. WEIRD BEHAVIOR: On my new Intel/OS4.0 system, I noticed that after I insert the cursor in the text field I have a few seconds before the whole field **AUTOMATICALLY** becomes highlighted. This is a big problem if I have not finished typing within those few seconds! For example, suppose I want to change the name of a file from "junk" to "junk_previous". I insert the cursor at the end of the original name and start typing. After adding the characters "_prev" the whole thing ("junk_prev") suddenly becomes highlighted and typing the next character wipes out the other text and I'm left with "vious" for the name of the file (if I keep typing). Even if I just insert the cursor and do nothing, the text automatically becomes highlighted after a few seconds. OTHER COMMENTS: I have never seen this behavior on my NeXT hardware running everything from NEXTSTEP 1.0 to 3.3. I assume that this is a software glitch, but I have never tried 4.0 on my NeXT hardware, so I suppose it could be the new hardware. The other thing I noticed, that is probably completely unrelated, is that when the regular (arrow-shaped) cursor is sitting over the File Viewer, it blinks every few seconds. I had never noticed this before and it does not happen on my NeXT running 3.3. Also, it only happens when the cursor is over the main File Viewer window. The cursor does not blink when it's over the background or the Menu or another App's window. I first noticed all of this yesterday. I rebooted and the problems went away (I thought). When I went home, I logged out. Today I logged in again and the problems are back. Also, it only seems to happen only when I'm logged in as root. I haven't tried too many times, but I logged in twice on my regular account and this problem did not occur, but I've logged in several times as root and it does occur. Has anyone seen this? I tried this on another (supposedly) identical system and did not see the problem there. Do I need to reload the operating system? I hate to do that if I don't have to. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me. Bye, Gregg =========================== Gregg Dinse 919-541-4931 dinse@catatac.niehs.nih.gov

The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months. think about it. You see those 'Make.Money.Fast' posts more and more. That's ... because it WORKS ! So I thought, all those new users might make it work. And I decided to try it out, a few months ago. Besides, whats $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day. So I sent in my money and posted. Everyone was calling it a scam, but there are SO many new users from AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it work for you. Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail! I couldn't believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first only a few hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM. By the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly $47,000.00. It came from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough left over for a nice vacation for me and my family. Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Markus Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning claims he made $53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only $17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they say they did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense that I'm taking a similar chance with $5 of my own bucks. Not a big chance, I admit--but one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests in this system. Period. That's all Markus, Dave, or Dan invested, yet their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars each, in a safe, legal, completely legitimate way. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps: STEP 1. Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses: 1- Fern Suarez Mallorca 112 Hato Rey, P.R., USA, 00917 2- Philippe 2104 De Mexico Chomedey, Laval Quebec, Canada H7M 3C6 3- Natalie Jansen Lancveldlaan 18 5671 CN Nuenen Holland 4- Chad Collier 2785 Cold Springs Rd. #49 Placerville, CA 95667 5- Steve Boltinghouse 1009 Bird St. Hannibal, MO 63401 STEP 2. Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name in as the fifth one on the list. STEP 3. Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember the more groups you post to, the more people will see your article and send you cash! STEP 4. You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new and huge. There is no way you can lose. Now here is how and why this system works: Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses. Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money orders, but real cash with your name at #5. Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250 additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4,....$50.00 in your pocket! Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500. They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000 postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash! Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250 postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000. From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again. The end result depends on you. You must follow through and repost this article everywhere you can think of. The more postings you make, the more cash ends up in your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!! So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper. So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see what happens. REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS! GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH! *** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10,000! TRY IT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!! :o) !!!!!!!!!!

From: Steffin Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.bugs Subject: Please Help!!! Date: Tue, 26 Nov 1996 13:41:39 GMT Organization: For Wendy!! Message-ID: <329af388.71721559@news.inet-direct.com> Thanks for taking the time to read this message! This is about a lady that gave all she could to everyone, including me. Her name is Wendy. When I was young she became my foster mother after my real mother had abandon me. Never having any kids of her own she became a foster parent. That I got to be in her care was probably the best thing that had ever happened to me. She had other foster children and even ended up taking care of many of the neighborhood kids. Wendy is a lady that just never gave up and always gave more than anyone could imagine. I no longer think of my real mother as mother but rather Wendy as my only true mother. I know that I’m not the only one that thinks that way either. It wasn’t just kids that she helped it included the elderly, the disabled and the just down and out. What it takes to qualify for a saint is something I never found out, but I know it can’t be more than the things I saw this lady do for anybody. Even people that had wronged her could find themselves looking up at her while she helped them when they were down. I’m 26 now and many of the things I’m telling you I never really realized until now. Since I was a kid she has helped me with everything from recovering from my mistakes to just being there to say “You can do it... It’ll be okay.” I’ve never been able to make a good attempt at trying to repay her for all she’s done for me and I’m not alone. Many people just have taken for granted the things she’s done for them. I know by now you’re asking yourself why I’ve posted this letter. Well, to be honest and straight with you it’s because I would like your help. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from Wendy it’s that, “We are our neighbors keepers.” You know the golden rule, “Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.” Anyway now Wendy is an older lady that is disabled and can’t do as much as she used to. With the disability sometimes expenses can be too much. I now live in Arkansas and can’t be of much help. With no real family I’d like to do something to try to repay all she done for me and many others. That’s were you come in. See if you can think back to someone that helped you no matter how big or small. Maybe it’s someone you can’t even remember or have lost touch with. For that moment picture Wendy and say, “I’d like to repay that kindness.” I wish you would sit down and write a small note saying “Thanks for being the generous person that you have been!” If you could include something to help out. Maybe it’s a five dollar bill, a book of stamps, even a dollar. Oh and would you also tell her the Steffin sends his love. Her birthday is next month on the 27th and I’m hoping I can make this own a very memorable one. Thanks for reading and if you choose to help God pless you. Her address is Wendy Mcghee 9636 Elm Taylor, Mi 48180
