There is a version 2.1, which is what Appsoft put out for awhile. I have a copy. It had some improvements over what NeXT shipped, but I don't remember the details. I imagine there are still some copies kicking around somewhere, but I don't know where. Perhaps someone like Optimal Object would have a few copies. Another interesting question would be "Who owns the source code to it these days?".

From: Stephen Shiboski <steve@biostat.ucsf.edu> Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: R Statistical Software for NEXTSTEP 3.3 Date: 3 Oct 1996 05:25:24 GMT Organization: UCSF, ITS Message-ID: <52vio4$208s@itssrv1.ucsf.edu> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- R ALPHA PRE-RELEASE for NEXTSTEP version 3.3 (M68k and Intel) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcing a NEXTSTEP port of the R language for statistical programming. NEXTSTEP support for the statistical programs SAS and S-PLUS was dropped when NeXT stopped making hardware, leaving statisticians running NEXTSTEP in an awkward position. R is an extremely powerful alternative to these commercial packages distributed under the GNU public license. R is written by Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka of the Dept. of Statistics, University of Auckland. Read the README file with this distribution to find out more about R. Note that users of S and S-PLUS will find R very easy to use (and very fast). If you don't know S, check out "The New S Language" (Becker R, Chambers J, Wilks A; Wadsworth, 1988) to help you get started. I have placed binaries for M68k and Intel architecture in the following NeXT-specific ftp sites: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/R.0.12.N.b.tar.gz ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/R.0.12.I.b.tar.gz ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/R.0.12.README You'll need X11 drivers to view graphics. I have used R with both CubXWindows and co-Xist X11 emulation under NEXTSTEP 3.3. R will run from any shell (e.g. Terminal or Stuart), but graphics will have to be written out using a Postscript driver. Disclaimer: This is a pre-alpha version. I am releasing it because of the total lack of statistical software for NEXTSTEP. I have only tested the binary under NS 3.3 on m68K and Intel architecture. I have not tested it extensively -- so far, it seems to be working properly. However, there will be bugs, so use at your own risk! If you want to build R for another architecture, you are on your own.

I bought it in some going-out-of-business sale, I think. It isn't all that much different than version 2.0 though, and it was also limited to NeXT hardware. It still runs under NS-3.2, so it's pretty likely that it'd run OK under NS-4.0.

I just got OS 4.0, and went to perform the upgrade today on our NS 3.3 server. I sat down at the console and went to type... and nothing happened. It seems that the mouse and keyboard no longer function at the login screen (I don't even see the cursor). *Sometimes* I can get to to type a character, but not even the one I press. If I boot into single user mode, its fine. The only thing I've done recently is install a Intel EtherExpress PRO/100... So, I looked at the driver configuration, and noticed that the driver was version 4.03... I had installed a OS 4.0 driver on a NS 3.3 machine. I have no idea if that's what caused the problem (driver incompatibility) or if it is a problem w/ settings on the card...or if it has nothing to do with either. When the card was installed, I didn't even attempt to log in at the console, so I can't pinpoint when the problem started (tho' I would guess it was then). BTW - The system *runs* fine. I can log in remotely, etc... just can't do a thing at the console. So... I'm in trouble. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to know, is it possible to do a standard boot w/o network support? If not, how can I disable the Intel driver from single user mode? (I moved the .config file, and that kept the driver from loading, but the boot hung after loading lookupd.

When you're in windows, you run with a customised windows driver which is MUCH optimised for the NeXT display - it's at the correct depth (ie 2bit in your case), and allows the window size to be changed. In many ways it's BETTER than VGA, but it doesn't support as many colours (for obvious reasons - it's on a mono machine). I suspect that NetScape is blowing up because it can't get all the colours it needs. If you select the VGA driver in the windows setup program (ie in windows), then it should run OK, though it will be EVEN slower than normal! >Just to stay in touch with the mainstream PC world, I'd like to try >surfing with Netscape under SoftPC.app on my 'Station.

OK, so I exaggerated a bit. However, it's true that every statistician I know involved in methodological research relies on the S language to some extent. R provides much of the same functionality, adds some things, runs faster, and is free. Check out the S-PLUS section of the StatLib archive (http://temper.stat.cmu.edu/S/) for an idea of what can be done using S (and R). >There is also another package which as only limited distribution (perlStat or >something like that, maybe by Hal Varian? -- my memory's hazy on this). Hal Varian reminded me that xlispstat (from umnstat.stat.umn.edu) also works with NEXTSTEP. This is another powerful and extensible statistical package useful for data analysis and methodological work. There is a section of StatLib devoted to it (http://temper.stat.cmu.edu/xlispstat/). -Steve -- Stephen Shiboski email: steve@biostat.ucsf.edu Division of Biostatistics voice: 415-476-0533 University of California San Francisco fax: 415-476-6014 500 Parnassus Avenue, MU 420 West; San Francisco, CA 94143-0560

Note all of the login prompts, including punctuation, spelling, capitalization, spaces, etc. IE note the following differences: login: login: (the first one has no space after the : and the second one does) Login: User: UserName: username: see which one is used, and then same for the password, and then see what happens. If you get lines of terminal characters that look like garbage, PPP starts automatically. If you get another prompt, you have to enter something to start it. Once you have started PPP there, use the escape character out of kermit (usually control c or control ] or something like that) and enter: do ppp at the kermit prompt. This will start PPP on your end. Please note that this is not the most effective way of starting PPP, you'll want to get that chat script working through GateKeeper, but it is also good to know how to 'manually' start the PPP link, IMO.

As an answering machine its great, you can compose outgoing messages very easily, aloow dial tone navigation (or include password control etc. by requesting certain dial tones being passed). You can start any program from within the process of answering a message, so you could start a task (like backing up vyour machine) by using a normal telephone instead of having to set up your machine so you can remote log in. The problem about the mix box (a little piece of hardware (black of course) that connects a plain old telephone line to the DSP port) is that it transmits data only at 2400 bps (9600 for faxes). SO, if you do want to allow dialling-in with a proper modem connected to a serial port youll end up with two devices competing for incoming calls. Nonetheless, mix was well worth the money for me and the current version (2.1) is stable. (I have nothing to do with the company except for hacing bought mix and niCe, a tool for converting .[chm] files to nicely formatted rtf, from them.) See the web pages of ilink (the company that invented mix) for pricing details: www.ilink.de. I dont know if theres still a US distributor around but Im sure the pages (or info@ilink.de) will tell you more. BTW: If someone at ilink is reading this they might like to comment on their plans for the product: ISDN-compatibility, usage of voice-capable modems, porting to OS4...

Use 'nu -m' to modify root's password to something you'll remember. CONTROL-d will get you out into multi-user mode, I believe.

I just upgraded my system to a Tyan S1668 Dual Pentium Pro ATX motherboard with a single Pentium Pro 200 MHZ Processor. I am running OpenStep 4.x for Mach. I am experiencing frequent kernel panics (Illegal instruction exception I believe is the exact message). I suspect the problem is related to the PPP 2.2 package because the panics only happen while PPP is running and seem to be triggered by moderate to heavy PPP traffic (for instance bringing up any graphics intensive page via OmniWeb is almost guaranteed to panic the system.) The exact same PPP configuration was working fine while I was running on a P100. I have tried upgrading from the version of PPP that NeXT ships with 4.x to the latest available from the thoughtport ftp site and it does not seem to make any difference. The other hardware on my system includes #9 GXE 64 4MB PCI video card, NCR (Symbios) 825 wide SCSI card, 64 MB RAM, PS/2 mouse. If anyone has any suggestions as to what else might be causing this problem or can confirm that this is indeed a problem with PPP (or even better yet has a SOLUTION) please mail me and I will be eternally grateful.

(note: you do not need this script to use pine, but it will make things easier) For example, say you get an email message that is in MIME format. You bring it into your Active.mbox and realize it is MIME. All you have to do is close up Active.mbox (you don't have to quit Mail.app, just close the window for Active.mbox, so as not to cause locking problems). Then just start pine: pine -f active (I am assuming that when you use my script you will name "Active.mbox"'s link "active" but you can choose whatever you want, just tell pine what folder you want to open. This is the format: pine -f FOLDERNAME And your active mailbox will be opened in PINE. You can read the message, save it as an ascii file (the "Export" command in PINE), quit pine, and go back to Mail.app. The nice thing about pine is that it uses the same format as the 'mbox' file which is inside your Active.mbox folder. They are 100% compatible. I use this all the time. TjL

There is no way that I know of to do this. 1) there's no user interface to run any program before you logout (unless it was done manually) 2) there is no way to tell what files you had open. Of course, it is a simple enough matter to write a script to record what apps you have running: #!/bin/sh /bin/ps -auxwww|grep "\.app"|grep -v grep|tr ' ' '\012' \ |grep "\.app"|grep -v "/NextStep/Workspace.app" > ~/.runningapps exit 0 Which isn't foolproof and hasn't undergone any real testing, but should be adequate. You might save that as 'saveapps', run 'chmod 755 saveapps' in Terminal and execute it by hand before you logout. Then there is the matter of starting them up again when you log back in. You can use the dwrite 'Workspace LaunchPaths' to run a script when you login (do 'dread Workspace LaunchPaths ' before you change anything, just in case you already have one of these!) assuming for a moment that you have that dwrite pointing to a script called ~/.onlogin via 'dwrite Workspace LaunchPaths $HOME/.onlogin' you might put this in that script #!/bin/sh if [ -s ~/.runningapps ] then for i in `/bin/cat ~/.runningapps` do open $i && sleep 5 done fi /bin/rm -f ~/.runningapps exit 0 you might save that as ~/.onlogin, run 'chmod 755 ~/.onlogin' and it will check that file for any apps listed in that file and open them (it will wait 5 seconds between opening files, so as not to over-tax your machine by trying to start them all at once.) The real trick is to find an easy way to run 'saveapps' before you logout, and I don't know how to do that, other than manually, which is a bit of a pain. If you have the developer tools, you might try ftp://ftp.next.peak.org/pub/next/binaries/tools/apps/Launch1.3.tar.gz (the program is 'source code only') that's an app that runs a program on logout (it runs ~/.Logout I think). The trick would be to see if it runs BEFORE the apps are closed due to the logout. TjL

If the app 'Adobe Illustrator' is in either ~/Apps or /LocalApps then it should be offered in the Tools Inspector as a choice for opening files which certain extensions. Select the "Adobe Illustrator" app in the Workspace and checkout one of the 4 inspector panels (either command-2 or command-3, I can't remember which and I am not at home) and it should show you the extentions it will open. Changing the extensions is a tricky business, you should definitely make a backup first. You'll need 'segedit' from the dev tools segedit /LocalApps/Emacs.app/Emacs -extract __ICON __header tmpfile edit tmpfile, then segedit /LocalApps/Emacs.app/Emacs -replace __ICON __header tmpfile the format of 'tmpfile' should show you how extensions are listed. Actually, I'd probably try this on a COPY of Edit.app, since that will show you a lot of entries and give you a better idea of how it works. If you want to make some app other than edit app the default app you can change that dwrite Workspace DefaultOpenApp AppName ie dwrite Workspace DefaultOpenApp Emacs TjL

Yes, I have both imported and exported MS Word files (Mac MS Word 5.0 although some 4.0 too) with WriteUp. It was reasonably successful. There would be occasional little glitches. I never tried to do .doc files because I didn't use that. I think the biggest problem with exporting was not having a Mac resource fork for new files. However, this may be a moot point. I believe that AFS (makers of WriteUp) no longer sell it. And their license for the import/export filters expired, so they can't sell those either. But if you bought a copy of WriteUp off someone ... Not me. I use mine. Beth Katz katz@cs.millersv.edu

In version 1.0 I was able to read and write word documents back and forth well enough for some committee work with people on PCs and Macs. Typically what would go wrong was that if there was bold face text in a title, say, when I spit out the document, the whole document or chapter would become boldfaced, or something similar. I just got versioin 2.0 recently but haven't given it much of a workout (no committee work yet) but I was able to open a MIME attachment MWS file with tables that was sent me, and although the tables were not correctly represented, I could read what was in them fine. That tells me that it is at least better. It sure beats having to actually go use a PC, at least in my opinion. Cheers, Don Petcher

Evolution created this mirror site in order to make the archive easier to reach for NeXT users in North America; located in Munich, Germany, the original Peanuts site is slow and intermitently unreliable when accessed over the Internet from the United States. The archive contains over 2 gigabytes of commercial and public domain software for NeXT Software's NeXTStep operating system and the OpenStep application environment for Next's Mach, Microsoft's Windows NT, and Sun Microsystems' Solaris. Also included are libraries and documentation for WebObjects, NeXT's cutting-edge framework for creating applications on the World Wide Web. WebObjects recently received the Editor's Choice Award from PC Magazine. Evolution has utilized NeXT technology since its inception, starting with the use of NeXT-made servers for MindVox, launched nearly five years ago as Manhattan's first public dialup ISP. Today Evolution uses NeXT solutions for to build robust applications on the Internet for corporate clients.

You may easily get the GCC 2.7.2 binaries, the problem is, you'll need libraries that come only with NS Developer. To give them away means to violate the license. And, Yes, that's a stupid policy! I never understood why NeXT doesn't bundle the basic cc & libs with NS User and sells the Developer Apps & Docs as NS Developer package.

Improv came out in 1990, while the world was running 123 on DOS. (In fact, you can still run the 1989 DOS-looking 123 on Solaris, and guess what, it still stinks.) Compare the two, and you see that the functionality of Improv was miles ahead of 123 or anything else on the market, and in fact, is still competitive in some of it's functionality six+ years later. The fact that you could name the columns and rows, that you could define the size of the sheet, so a 5 cell x 5 cell spreadsheet didn't look like a blotch in the upper left hand corner of a giant window, that the formulas were intuitive, that you could format the cells graphically, and most importantly, that you didn't have to use the the function keys and some sort of voodoo ritual to get it to do advanced functions. In fact, I'm using it this week to do a project for my manager, because the offerings on Solaris just aren't up to speed, and "I don't *do* windows."

Message-ID: <53h5ff$6ts@dfw-ixnews11.ix.netcom.com> Keywords: charts graphs bar pie line Howdy, I'm looking for any packages which support a command line interface for graphing of data. I need to be able to graph data coming in at various times in an automated way in order to put them out on the web or in other places. At present, I use PresentationBuilder to create the graphs, but have been doing it by hand. I like the professional looking output of PresentationBuilder and would like that kind of output in whatever package is suggested. Also, most other graphing packages I've tried have been very slow with the amount of data I'm importing. Improv and PresentationBuilder are able to load and create graphs pretty speedily from the data I supply. Other packages can take 10x as long to load and graph (or longer). If anyone happens to know of any packages that fit these requirements, I'd greatly appreciate the information. Also, the package can be for NeXTStep/OpenStep or simply generic UNIX. BTW, please don't recommend GNUPlot as the output from it is pretty weak compared to PresentationBuilder's output. It also seems pretty inflexible in changing that output around much. There is one other idea here, if there is any kind of a way to drive PresentationBuider from the command line or without the GUI, I'd also appreciate that information as well. Oh, I'd appreciate any replies via email to the below address as I don't really read this newsgroup often. Thanks in advance. -- Brian Wright <skywalk@dfwlx2.netcom.com> // MIME Mail Accepted.

You are buying the include files for the entire AppKit, as well as the other kits. It seems reasonable to me that wouldn't sell you those includes unless you were also getting InterfaceBuilder, ProjectBuilder, and whatever other developer apps there are. I suppose they could split apart the include files into two packages, one of which would be the "just plain unix" ones. I do not think that is worth the trouble.

Those include: MacOS, SGI IRIX and..sure...NeXTSTEP. For anyone who doesn't know how the gamma correction came to be, it's really pretty sordid. Wintel boxes can't be bothered to do anything as sophisticated as a uniform or logarithmic range of monitor brightnesses. Instead, they take the RGB intensities in a graphics file and hand them off directly to the electron gun(s) as signal. If the VDT has a nonlinear voltage response (as they all do, to different degrees, of course) that is your problem: you should have "gamma corrected" your file for the response curve of an "average" monitor. Then, when you move to an LCD or some other display with a different response curve, you blame the manufacturer because "this display looks washed out". Working as designed....

Maybe because there's little profitability in doing so. NeXT has made little if any profit licensing its operating system. With Windows 95/NT taking over the operating system market at the expense of most (all?) other OS vendors, including MacOS, what sense does it make for NeXT to enter a declining market? If one looks closely at what's happening with OPENSTEP/Mach, it becomes pretty evident that little OS development is occurring and features are being eliminated rather than added, a hint that its days as a product are numbered.

Add -m to the link options in the Makefile: -m Don't treat multiply defined symbols as a hard error; instead, simply print a warning. The first such symbol is used for linking; its value is used for the symbol in the symbol table. The other symbols by the same name may be used in the resulting output file through local references. This can still produce a resulting output file that is in error. This flag's use is strongly discouraged! . and do not mind the last sentence from the man page, sometimes you need a hammer to get the thing going... Version 7.4 of the TCP wrappers has a special 'NeXTish' section in the Makefile where you should uncomment a few options when compiling on NeXTSTEP. If you are in the process of hardening your system be sure to replace the old portmapper by a wrapped version, the one from ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/security/index.html (look for portmap.tar.gz) works fine (at least for me) and will make rpc attacks much harder if configured correctly. It needs the TCPWrapper 7.4 library to compile which is also available from above site. -- * Frank M. Siegert [frank@this.net] - Home http://www.this.net * NeXTSTEP, Linux, BeOS & PostScript Guy

The screen shot is most definitely of the OPENSTEP 4.0 interface, except for the one Interface Builder window, which looks more like the Windows 95 GUI. I seem to recall that OPENSTEP for NT was supposed to use the Windows user interface for the sake of consistency; NT will be adopting the Windows 95 GUI for its next major release. Perhaps with OPENSTEP 4.1 it lets you develop multiple user interfaces depending on the platform (just like you can currently develop seperate interfaces depending on the language of the user). Thus an application can have both an OPENSTEP and Windows 95 GUI. -- -===================================================================- Jean-Paul C.

It might be that this is some development option under OpenStep for Mach which allows you to see exactly how the application is going to look when you redeploy it under Windows. This would be a good option to have, in my opinion. Whether the same look will be used for OpenStep applications on all platforms is another question.

Like it or not (and I don't! :-) most of the people reading most web pages are probably going to be using "other" platforms. If you're aiming for a broad market, then it's sensible to pitch the content at the appropriate level. My general feeling (and I offer it only as an opinion) is that it makes more sense to produce pictures which will look slightly washed out on a minority of platforms than it is to produce images which will be too dark on the majority. Given that OmniWeb includes gamma correction so that images on NS/OS look about the same as they would under Windows, it's not as if things are difficult for us. Best wishes, mmalc. --

How much more > misleading could it be? It should be called OPENSTEP for iNTel :( NeXT's RISC Workstation that was never brought to market was apparently a dual PPC architecture, so NeXT has some early PPC porting experience. How many NT apps run on NT/Alpha? Almost none natively. So why should NeXT spend precious resources porting to an NT version that will likely be mostly a server platform with few sales relative to NT/Intel Workstation? But I don't believe that this is the issue at all. OPENSTEP/Mach/PPC wouldn't be any more successful that OPENSTEP/Mach/Intel which is currently available and probably not profitable any more than its previous NS versions. Why should NeXT do anything that doesn't have much of a chance for commercial success? NeXT has been losing money almost every quarter since 1988 trying to sell an operating system, so it changed directions and has apparently been modestly profitable recently. -- Art Isbell NeXT/MIME Mail: aisbell@ix.netcom.com Trego Systems Voice/Fax: +1 408 335 2515 CaseServ: OPENSTEP Voice Mail: +1 408 335 1154 managed care solutions US Mail: Felton, CA 95018-9442

This latest version is compiled for multiple architectures (NeXT m68k, Intel x86, HP PA-RISC, Sun SPARC), supports NetInfo, NIS, smrsh (sendmail restricted shell), mail.local and outgoing aliases (YourName@host.com) with the user database. CERT recommends that you install a newer version of sendmail than 8.7.5. To obtain a copy of my distribution: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org:/pub/next/submissions/sendmail-8.8.0.NIHS.bd.t ar.gz To verify that you have a good copy of my distribution, execute the following command. Note that the first number is the 16-bit checksum which must match exactly and that the second number is the number of blocks and can vary. % sum sendmail-8.8.0.NIHS.bd.tar.gz 32462 1504 To unpack the distribution: % gunzip sendmail-8.8.0.NIHS.bd.tar.gz % gnutar xvpf sendmail-8.8.0.NIHS.bd.tar This will create a .pkg file. You need to be logged in as "root" to install the package. Documentation for sendmail 8.8 is in /etc/sendmail/doc. Configuration files are in /etc/sendmail/cf. You will need the GNU m4 compiler to create a .cf configuration file for use with this version of sendmail. It is available in the proglang subdirectory on next-ftp.peak.org's NeXT FTP archive. I recommend that you pick up a copy of the O'Reilly and Associates book on sendmail before using this version of sendmail. Furthermore, the installation and use of this software is entirely at your own risk. Read the README notice for more details.

I've successfully used Steve Perkin's PPP package for some time now, logging in to various sites from the command line via chat scripts.

Unfortunately, despite what I thought was a certain uh..... "sophistication" with NeXTstep, Unix, etc. I cannot seem to get GateKeeper configured properly. Using "Link" it will not even dial the modem, and using "Dial" it gets through, but then does not establish a proper PPP connection. I already have ppp 2.2 installed, and have to admit that I find the directions for installation somewhat confusing. Could someone who has gotten GateKeeper running under these circumstances (ppp 2.2 already installed, black hardware --- my TurboColor! --- NeXTstep 3.2) give me a hand?

There is tons of really intersting information in there but a couple of wierd pieces too. Just a few notes from the top of my head: - File naming for 4.0 apps is described. But for one reason which I don't understand NeXT is using "nextstep" as it arch extension for Mach files but it is using "Mach" as the key for naming the UI style. This is a little strange...since Mach does not stand for any UI stuff. Doing it vica-versa...or using nextstep in both places might be more intuitive. - NSCursor has a new method which is _useless_ on Mach _and_ Windows ?? Since it is not mention if these are changes to the OpenStep spec of not...it makes me wonder what NeXT is working on to have a need for useless methods. - The argument for dropping the NXHelpPanel is shocking IMHO. NSHelpManager was introduced to keep WinNT users from "having to learn a new help environmet" while in the same place NeXT is arguing that it is good to use HTML, RTF, Concurrence, DigitalLibrarian etc. for HelpSystems under NeXTSTEP and therefore dropping a really easy _and_ useful native Help system. This is really really a shame. There is no excuse for it. It does upset me even more since there is no reason why NeXT couldn't ship an NXHelpPanel with 4.1 Mach. Digital Librarian is not suitable for a Help sytem...it is for online Documentation which is totally different from a hands on Helpsystem IMHO. I could never understand why NSScanner was not named NSStringScanner which would have been a more natural name...but this HelpPanel argumentation in the ReleaseNotes is obviously dumb....my only conclusion is that NeXT has no valid argument for dropping the Help system. Ok..lets stop raving....back to work. Aloha Tomi

I agree totally. We're left with Mach customers for which we have lost a nice help system. The best we can do is to open our old Help files using NSWorkspace to open the old table of contents in Edit. Users can still jump to linked references, but they can't go back or search easily which makes the system pretty inferior. We're trying to call our OPENSTEP version an "upgrade", but the Help system has certainly been downgraded :-( If we had NSHelpPanel, we could write a standalone Help app that could be accessed via NSHelpManager in our Mach version. -- Art Isbell NeXT/MIME Mail: aisbell@ix.netcom.com Trego Systems Voice/Fax: +1 408 335 2515 CaseServ: OPENSTEP Voice Mail: +1 408 335 1154 managed care solutions US Mail: Felton, CA 95018-9442

I think GateKeeper tries to do too much. I use PPPMonitor now and its awesome. Its really simple to set up and to use, it features a shelf for other applications, it will issue any command you choose at user specified intervals (which is handy to keep links active), and it keeps track of how long you've been online and displays the total in its icon.

Optimal is a quality provider of NeXT systems and parts of long standing. If you want a good challenge, try finding a hard drive bracket for a next station without going through a parts house like optimal. Feel free to correct my net knowledge but I've always reserved the term "SPAM" as someone who posts to a multitude of (usually unrelated) newsgroup or someone who posts the exact same message on a daily basis. Optimal has done neither. Speaking as a very satisfied customer (who learned of Optimal off this newsgroup) I invite Optimal to continue posting any time they feel it is appropriate. God knows the NeXT community can use any loyal supplier we can get. And Robbie: Optimal sold me 4 meg simms for my nextstation for $25 each, with full warranty. Next fan? Sure, it's in stock. Like new laser printer? $200. Maybe I'm just a newbie without spare parts in my sock drawer, but they sure struck me as very competent *and* reasonable.

I am violating my own "don't post the same message to more than one NeXT group" rule for this post, don't get me wrong, I dislike crossposted messages within the csn.* hierarchy as much as anyone. Perhaps more, because it effects me FOUR times as much as most people. I have 3 shell accounts on which I read email and I get the digests via email. So crossposting costs me n*4 time and diskspace for saving copies of the exact same message. I have said before, and I will say again, there is no real reason to crosspost within the the NeXT newsgroups. I am convinced that most people who read any of them read them all (.advocasy and .programmer might be exceptions, but no one crossposts to them). It is always best to simply pick the best group and post there. If you don't get a response or much of one, try posting to one other one.... For this message, you are right, it should not have been crossposted because csn..marketplace is the best place for this type of thing. Offering to buy or sell something fits marketplace. I can understand wanting to appeal to hardware and software readers also..... I think I would have submitted this to 'announce' actually, in the form of a press release (if this is a new service). IMO that would be the best way to propagate information to most of the readers.... and it doesn't get that much traffic that it would be lost.... Three supplementary points which are obviously solely my opinion: 1) I don't think "anonymous" posting is much better than crossposting. (and your host information appears in the headers) If you are going to say something, why not take ownership of it? If you don't want to catch flack for it, make sure you really believe it before you post it, or don't post it. 2) crossposting an anonymous message complaining about crossposting _at_least_ borders on hypocrisy [note: I realize I am complaining about crossposting here and I too have crossposted, so I might be accused of the same thing.] 3) Cut 'em some slack! There are very, very few NeXTstep vendors who have survived to this point in time. I was working on reorganizing the 'demos' folder on our FTP site here, and looking through the 'readme' files I'd say that 80% or more no longer exist... There are a lot of cool programs out there that died before being ported to anything other than m68k. How many companies are there out there still supporting their software and writing more programs? I think "a few" might be a way to put it... They are trying to round up some business, I can't say that I blame them. If I worked for a NeXTstep related company I would probably be doing the same thing. It's a rather tenuous position since OpenStep may or may not take off, job security has never been a part of NeXTstep ISVs. If you want to upgrade your machine and don't think you want/need any help, then goto the next message, like turning the channel when something comes on tv that you don't want to buy. [of course it would be easier to say this if the original message had not been posting outside of the marketplace group] Yes, crossposting is annoying, but if I were them, I'd probably be doing the same thing if it were my business at stake in the turmoil that is the NeXTWorld.

Obtimal Object is authorized distributor of NeXT/OpenStep. They have great deal for most NeXT users; especially for the educational users. They sell OpenStep 4.0 at $299 (both User and Developer) as an academic bundle. There may be some places offerring better deal, but as far as I know, Optimal Object is good place to get NeXT stuff; at least *NOT* a SPAM. :)

Not true, when you have the group that represents STANDARDS in the biggest way creating a freeware implementation of your software- GNU's GNUstep! http://www.gnustep.org Doesn't anyone realize the GNUstep scope? It's the first GNU GUI project, and the largest magnitude of any ever attempted. Friends of mine using AfterStep on Linux Intel can not wait to run GNUstep, and they're in bliss just with the AfterStep window manager...Imagine what's to come! Forget the goofy commercial software market, and let's focus on the free standards with source code. The first developer CD-ROM of GNUstep is shipping from http://www.net-community.com NeXT showed direction for the future, but they do NOT have all the answers!

Well, then Emacs was a bad example, but the principle is the same, and I think that is the right syntax, although I haven't done it for a long time, so I am not sure how. anyway, segedit is the tool.

Having a lot of RAM in your computer helps a lot. I would suggest 32 MB as a minimum, and it's preferable to have 64+ MB. However, some tasks (particularly image rendering from JPEG's or other compressed, computationally intense formats) require a significant amount of CPU to perform.

The error above is typically the result of using the wrong Loadable Kernel Server (LKS) with pppd (or vice versa). Some versions of PPP installed the LKS (ppp_reloc) in /usr/lib/kern_loader/ppp and some in /usr/local/ppp/reloc. The second is going to be the standard place for installation from now on. Solution: Make sure that your /etc/rc.local is loading the correct version of the LKS and make sure you are really calling the correct pppd for use with the LKS that you loaded. ========================= Good luck. -- Be well, Matthew Reichman <reichman@usc.edu> NeXTStep v.3.3 m68k :: NeXTMAIL, SUN Mail & MIME welcome PGP key --> email w/ subject "request_PGP" Computer Privacy Information --> http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/

Whilst I might weakly suggest that Rob might confine this sort of thing to the marketplace group, given the general level of traffic here, and the scarcity of NeXT-aware reseallers, I don't think he was by any means out of order. I haven't had any direct dealings with Optimal-Object myself, however I've read a number of Rob's posts, and I'm impressed. I feel better knowing they're around and might be able to help out in the future. I challenge you to should how you could do all that Optimal Object can do for less: I know I certainly couldn't, and chances are I've been in the NeXT arena longer than you (since late 1990). If you've been around longer, fine, please don't waste bandwidth telling me about it. Best wishes, mmalc. --

After spending the $500 on the HP (which I can take back) and $300 for the E3 (which I can take back as well) I really don't want to buy software to make it work.

I found some programs on ftp.next.peak.org and ftp.evolution.com for scanning but none work with either of the scanners I have. The Scanmaker 600ZS is a three-pass scanner, thus not compatible with newer models, according to Microtek Tech Support. Can anyone recommend software for scanning on a HP 4p or Microtek Scanmaker E3 that is low-cost (less then $200) or a make/model of scanner to purchase?

I used your gmp package, and it compiled, and kinda works. just tested out your "bug" and yup. it does that for me also. i have another problem too. if i try to connect from my NeXTSTEP machine to my Linux machine, it prompts me for a password, when it's not supposed to. the other way around, linux to nextstep though, it works fine. both machines with ssh-1.2.16 if, however, the linux machine uses the ssh 1.2.14 sshd then everything works fine, doesn't seem to maatter what version is installed on the nextstep machine. any ideas? andy -- ------------------ Dopey (Andy Wang) - NeXT or MIME mail OK ------------------- - Pro-hemp, and proud of it! - finger -l awang@plains.nodak.edu for pgp key - - What the hell is a chicken? - http://space.acm.ndsu.nodak.edu/~awang/ - ------------------------ awang@plains.nodak.edu -------------------------------

Currently, I have made a class called myMatrix which is a subclass of Matrix. I have implemented a method called syn in a controller class to handle the grow and shrink of the matrix Implementation : myMatrix - initFrame: (const NXrect *) frameRect { ........... [self setBackground : NX_DKGRAY]; ..... } Implementation : Controller id matrix // id points to the myMatrix class instance - syn : (int) numberOfCell { [matrix renewRow: 1 cols : numberOfCell]; [matrix sizeToCell]; [Matrix display]; return self; } When the number of cells grow, the above code seems OK, however, if the number of cells decreases, the cell frame of those unwanted cells are still left on the winodw, (unwanted dark gray cell frames still there). The only way I can think of solving this problem is to replace [matrix display] with [window display] message, but this seems to be overkill. Can anyone suggest me a better way to solve this problem ? Thank. XM Shou

This could be caused by any number of things. * The remote host doesn't support what the NeXT is asking for, * The username or password are incorrect, * The script for connecting with the remote host is failing somewhere along the line, and the PPP connection was never established on the remote end. -- fugue "The police used to watch over the people.

The standard image encoding for PS level 1 printers is as a series of hex digits, which adds another 2x blowup to the file size. For level 2 printers, NeXT uses an uncompressed binary format.

I have ppp installed and loaded into the kernel, but I am unable to start the communications process. I want to first start ppp manually, and I'll worry about chat scripts later. The README file states that I should ... use a communications package (tip or kermit are good choices) to manually dial the modem and log into the remote server. There, manually start up the pppd process. Once this is done, you can exit the communications process (to free up the device it is using). Then, start your local pppd on the same device. The pppd processes will then start communicating. The premise is that you manually perform the operations that you would like your dial script to perform. Once you _know_ ppp works, you can spend time on the dial scripts. Please note, you _must_ exit from your communications program before you start your local pppd. For example if you are in kermit and you start the peer pppd, you must completely exit kermit before you start pppd. If you don't, the connection will not form. Using kermit, I dial up the modem pool (on device /dev/cufa), start pppd, and then ^]c back to the local kermit session. At this point, I'm unable to start the local pppd program without severing the connection. What should I do here? Also, can someone send their chat script as a sample?

I decided to go for the minimum changes possible to the NeXT fax system; see later for alternatives. For reference I have NS 3.3/Intel and a Zoom V.34 faxmodem (Rockwell chip set). Send Only: Get ps2g3 by Kevin Peckover <peckover@atlantis.com> from the NeXT archives. Use setupFAX to create the necessary NetInfo details (or do it manually if you trust yourself). You need to install FAX.psif and sendfax (a later version is in mgetty+sendfax). With some small fixes to FAX.psif this will allow you to treat your modem as a fax printer for sending faxes. The only problem I found was that ps2g3 produces G3 files that are printed too close to the top of the receive page. This is probably easy to fix. Apart from this it works very well. Receive Only: Use PrintManager to set up a fax modem (HSD or Interfax). Note that this overwrites some of the installation done by ps2g3 so you have to run setupFAX again (or change the printer "if" attribute to FAX.psif using NetInfoManager). For my modem it was necessary to call /usr/lib/NextPrinter/faxcleanup with the additional flags "-M -w 1728" (MSB first, width 1728 pixels - this may depend on the sending and receive fax modems). I did this by renaming faxcleanup and creating a faxcleanup shell script that calls the original version with these extra flags. (Beware the "-c" parameter which may have spaces in it.) Send/Receive: This is where I came unstuck. It seems that /usr/lib/NextPrinter/FaxDaemon initialises the modem when a faxmodem is set up with PrintManager. Worse still, it seems to leave some kind of read up on the serial port. If you try to use sendfax it just hangs. I tried sending various signals to FaxDaemon to get it to shut up but without success. Even if I kill FaxDaemon I still have to initialise the modem manually before sendfax will work. I guess that sendfax doesn't do enough initialisation if FaxDaemon has got to the modem already. To recreate Faxdaemon after sending, execute /usr/lib/NextPrinter/exec_faxes. If you also have data calls via your modem you may need to do this to recreate FaxDaemon. There is also a small problem that the NeXT fax software uses /dev/cu[ab] whereas other communications programs I have use /dev/cuf[ab]. This might cause locking problems. So, sending or receiving facilities work in isolation but not in combination. One solution is to get mgetty+sendfax by Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de> from the NeXT archives. Alternatively, buy NXFax (a modestly priced commercial solution, <sales@bandw.com>); there's a demo version on the Peak archive. Many thanks to Ben Stuyts <ben@stuyts.nl> and Gregor Hoffleit <flight@mathi.uni-heidelberg.de> for their help, and to the authors of ps2g3 and mgetty+sendfax for their software.

Good luck I use PPP under OS 4.0 by loading is LKS using a kern_loader.conf entry with no problems that are any different than when I ran PPP under NS 3.3 and loaded the LKS from rc.local. However, I continue to experience occasional kernel panics when I start PPP with a very heavy CPU load (e.g., compiling a large app) which happened under NS 3.3 also. If I enter "msg" in the panic window and inspect the panic messages, I almost always see serial port buffer overrun messages just prior to the panic despite running my 25 MHz. Cube's serial port at only 38400, so I'm pretty sure this is the cause of the panics. This occurs more readily under OS 4.0 because the average CPU load under OS 4.0 is higher than under NS 3.3. I imagine that if I were trying to run the serial port at 57600, I would experience even more kernel panics. -- Art Isbell NeXT/MIME Mail: aisbell@ix.netcom.com Trego Systems Voice/Fax: +1 408 335 2515 CaseServ: OPENSTEP Voice Mail: +1 408 335 1154 managed care solutions US Mail: Felton, CA 95018-9442

I was finally able to resolve all of my GateKeeper problems with the help of Felipe Rodriguez, author of the wonderful little app. It turns out that the information I needed was already in the on-line help, in a "glossary" section that described the nature of all of the files GateKeeper used. I did not find this information because it is accessible only through the "diamond links" in the GK help files, sigh..... Felipe was quite helpful, but says that 90% of the problems people encounter with GateKeeper are with things already covered in the on-line help. I am indeed going to forward to him some of the good information I have received, both for inclusion in the on-line help (if he wishes) and/or to put into a FAQ about GateKeeper, which might help future users.

I had a *different* IOCTL error, which was caused by the fact that I had not included /dev/cufb in the options file of my .Gate document. Once I understood what the purpose of the options and pppup documents was, it was a trivial fix (and I thank Felipe for helping me "see the light" on this one. In short, the application now works beautifully for me, and is a nice addition to my working environment. Several other people have written to me asking questions about GK, and now that I understand most of what is going on I will try to help them as I find the time (it is also my way of repaying Felipe for his help to me!).

Message-ID: <550h92$1bp@bias.ipc.uni-tuebingen.de> Howdy! I just want everybody to know that the beta 1 release of pscheck, a PostScript check program, is now available on my homepage (http://www.this.net) for download. *** What is pscheck? pscheck is a command line utility that should help you find problems in PostScript files. It contains a full PostScript Level 1 RIP (raster image processor - a piece of code that understands PostScript and calculates a raster image out of it) and 'reads' plain PostScript files or encapsutated PostScript files (EPS, with and without Preview). It 'testdrives' these type of files and provides you with a report what it finds in it. *** On what platforms will pscheck run? PSCheck will be available as Shareware (50 DM private / 150 DM commercial) for NeXTSTEP, Linux, Solaris, NetBSD/HP300, MSDOS/Windows(3.1/95/NT), MacOS and BeOS, other platforms will be supported on demand. Why these platforms? Because that are the ones I have access to and provide me with the basics needed to run pscheck. The beta 1 version will be available on NeXTSTEP and MSDOS/Windows only. (Maybe BeOS, we'll see...). pscheck can be ported to most every system with little effort. *** Does it use DPS? No, pscheck always uses its own interpreter. *** So you tried pscheck, and it does not do what you want! Please let me know your requirements so I can make pscheck better. Send eMail to <frank@this.net>. Offer me nice things & fast cars :-) *** Can I put this program on a shareware archive on the net or on cdrom? No, because it is timebombed and still in beta phase, you should only have received it from the home page of Frank Siegert. If you got a copy from another source please let me know immediately. *** Why does 'enter your famous feature here' not work? Because pscheck is still not finished. Tell me want you want pscheck to be, maybe I'll implement the feature for the final release. If you are adventurous enough to use it, please provide feedback. * DIPL.-ING.

But I can understand this to some degree since Mike & Co used the generic NTMovieScreen and figured investing time into making NT2.0 available with 4.0 and providing at least some documentation is more important then shipping a fancy app. And now at least we could just write a fancy NeXTIME app ourselves.

It contains a full PostScript Level 1 RIP clone (raster image processor - a piece of code that understands PostScript and calculates a raster image out of it) and reads plain PostScript files or encapsutated PostScript files (EPS). It 'testdrives' these type of files and provides you with a report what it finds in it. * On what platforms will pscheck run? PSCheck will be available for NeXTSTEP, Linux, Solaris, NetBSD/HP300, MSDOS/Windows(3.1/95/NT), MacOS and BeOS, other platforms will be supported on demand. Why these platforms? Because that are the ones I have access to and provide me with the basics needed to run pscheck. The beta 1 version will be available on NeXTSTEP, Linux and MSDOS (Windows in a Dos box) and BeOS only. Some versions will have GUI interfaces, some are cmdline only. * Is this software from Adobe or supported by them? No, not a single bit. * Now I am using the NeXTSTEP version, does it use the DPS? No, pscheck always uses its own L1 PS interpreter. But since it knows about the location of the Courier font, it will always use the original version from your system as default font. * Why a NeXTSTEP version? Preview.app will do fine for me. Preview.app and all other programs are using the DPS system, which is a Level 2 interpreter. If you prepare a job for a Level 1 system (say printer or imagesetter) it may not work there. Beside pscheck will tell you more about the PS file than Preview.app would ever do. ------ PostScript is a registrated trademark of Adobe Inc. and is used for identification purpose only. All other Trademarks are used for identification purpose only too. -- * Frank M. Siegert [frank@this.net] - Home http://www.this.net * NeXTSTEP, Linux, BeOS & PostScript Guy

I tired NewsFlash also, but this is better..... > give it a try, some great features, like archiving and stuff.... Yeah Radical News is ok. But the archiver is buggy. One problem I've logged is that if for some reason you happen to see the same articles that you've saved, the RN archiver has no clue that they've already been archived and will save duplicates. Another feature I've been begging for is to have a extra option in the pulldown Operations buttong in the Source-Subscribed window which allows one to select multiple newsgroups and be able to click on Archive so that all the news in say 5-20 (or as many as you want) newsgroups are archived with ONE click of the button. I would like to have a preference that would allow me to select newsgroups and AUTOMATICALLY archive the news periodically but for some reason the guys at Radical havn't implemented it. Somehow I also thought that Any News browser should be able to save the news in an archive that is identical to the one inn uses for ordering and numbering files (so you never get duplicates .. ever) but this type of file naming convention isn't available in the naming drop down in preferences. I think Radical News has a lot of potential, but the fact that IXKit is out of 4.0 along with Librarian, seems to have confused the Radical Folks into thinking there isn't a standard archiving schema to use (so they arn't working on archiving features).. I'd love to be proven wrong with the features I've outlined above, and some of the ones I outlined in some of my e-mail with them to be implemented. Frankly I'd be happy to have a autoarchiver that will automatically archive certian newsgroups to disk (know that the articles are stored local and allow me to interact with them on my local disk marking ones read v/s not read, and knowing which ones have been downloaded or not) at a programmable interval period or simply to get all the articles under a subset of the subscribed groups with a single point and click, (not the hour/day or more it now takes to do one newsgroup at a time)..

Invest in this TOTALY LEGITIMATE oppurtunity, Remember that this is legal, so you should report the profit of your investment on your taxes. Hello, I saw this news group posting and decided to invest $5 into it and see what I get in return. Hey, what's $5 ? Keep my address and keep in touch on the amount of money you get. In the posting I saw the person had done this before and made $47,326 in six weeks with his $5 and the cost of the stamps to mail the $5 to the five people on the list. This was his second round. If you do more than the 200 listings you will make more money. In this day what does $5 get you, and with all the people on the internet you are going to get you $5 back in days. Make $50,000 with a small amount of effort and a small cost of only $5 and a few hours of computer work (after you have saved this article on your computer, you can use it to compose your own article, if you want; just make the neccesary changes, like changing the names below; it should save you a couple of hours of computer work). This is a chance for the average person to get ahead in life so please send out $5 and put a little effort into your postings, and then watch the money roll in. This investment will cost you only $5, five stamps, envelopes, paper and a little computer work. If YOU and EVERY OTHER INVESTOR is HONEST and follows through with the plan, you will make $50,000 in about six weeks. Each investor will also make $50,000 in six weeks. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE INVESTMENT OPORTUNITY !!!!!!! When the money comes in, make a list of your investors, and you just started your own ORDER SERVICE COMPANY (don't worry, you don't have to do anything special, just read this article to the end, and you will get all the information you need). Since you are starting a company that provides a service, you make the money LEGITIMATELY (that's the whole idea about this company business). The service you provide is the "list of investors" that you have compiled. You invest $5, and you receive a return on your investment. So does the next investor. NOT ILLEGAL, NOT A CHAIN LETTER - PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE. There are other plans like this out there that ask you to send out $10 to five pepole, thats a fifty dollar investment and its hard to give $50 out when you are struggeling to pay the bills already. But with this plan you only invest about $5 and others only invest about $5. Hey what's $5 now-a-days? You could probably find that in the cracks of your couch. If you are not interested, than don't participate, but please print this article and pass it on to someone who may be interested, so they can take advantage. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO: The procedure is simple: 1) Write your name and address and an e-mail address, on 5 sheets of paper. Below that, write the words: "Please add me to your list". Then fold a $1 in each piece of paper (make sure the money is inside the paper, so that it can't be easily stolen, send no coins) and send them to the following five addresses: 1. Allen Malkowitch 23 Baker Street #712 Denver CO 80203 USA 2. Wilma Vogel Broettenstr. 19/25 9020 Klagenfurt AUSTRIA 3. Lenny LaForget 364 Delisla Chicoutimi G76 3B4 CANADA 4. Goran Stojsic Ljubljanska Avenija 2 236/B 10000 Zagreb CROATIA 5. Robert Radovic Ljubljanska Avenija 2 224A/A 10000 Zagreb CROATIA 2) Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four names up. In other words, #5 should become #4, and so on. Put your name as the fifth one on the list. Any simple text editor will do. 3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 17,000 of them these days, so it shouldn't be hard to find many. Spend some time on your investment and post to as many newsgroups as you can, and the bigger the newsgroup is, the more people are to see your message and the more money you make. So post to as many as you can. You are now in an ORDER SERVICES BUSINESS, and should start seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more newsgroups you post to, the greater your return is. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may use a psuedonym, call yourself, "The Manager", of "The Boss", whatever, but make sure your address is correct. HERE IS HOW THE SYSTEM MAKES MONEY: -Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. Yes, only five. You make $5 for every 200 posts with your name at #5. -Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 additional postings with your name at #4. i.e. 1000 postings. On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at #4. You make $50. -Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return= $500. They make 200 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000 postings= 5,000 returns at $1 each= $5,000. -Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each with your name at #1 and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES "ONLY" 200 POSTINGS! From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list, you can take the latest posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out another $5, and put your name at #5, and start posting again. Remember, 200 postings in only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return. Let's review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5. Anyone can afford $5 for such an effortless investment with such SPECTACULAR RETURNS! You may ask, "what happens if the scheme is played out and no one sends me money?" Big deal, you lose $5. But what are the chances of that happening? We are talking about the Internet here. There are millions of Internet users, and thousands more joining everyday! YOU CAN'T LOSE!!! There are too many people out there to not miss this message, and there will be thousands new tomorrow. Remember, read the instructions CARFULLY, and PLAY FAIRLY. That's the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer to this article easily. REMEMBER-HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!! BESIDES, NOT PLAYING THE GAME FAIRLY IS ILLEGAL. SO LET'S BE REASONABLE AND PLAY FAIRLY, SO WE CAN ALL ENJOY THE INTERNET GOLD MINE. GOOD LUCK!!!! :)
