From: comm@sci.fi (Juha Tuominen) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.bugs Subject: Sound recording bug in 3.3? Date: 8 Jan 1997 08:23:33 GMT Organization: Scifi Communications International Oy, http://www.sci.fi/, helpdesk@sci.fi, (931)3186277 Message-ID: <5avli5$82t@tron.sci.fi> I have traced a bug which causes sound recording to fail every now and then in NS 3.3 for Intel. The problem occured when I updated our and our customer's PC's from 3.2 to 3.3. First I thought our custom made application causes this (or our custom made sound card driver), but then I tested the system with Sound Blaster compatible card and Next's SB8 driver and I got the same results! I used both our customized application and Next's Sound.app. In the programming level the problem causes didRecord: message not to be sent to Sound object's delegate when stop: message is sent to Sound object. The recorded sound is also lost. The Sound object stops the driver from recording, but didRecord: message is never sent (or at least delegate object never receives it). If user doesn't press stop button (which sends the stop: message), the sound buffer fills up and the recording is stopped at the end of the buffer (2 mins in my case). The didRecord: message is _always_ sent in this case and everything is OK. Weird.. Could someone out there test his/hers NS3.3 for Intel to check out if the recording works. I don't have more sound cards and I haven't got any answer from NeXT for this problem. The recording process fails from every now and then and only when stop button is pressed. I installed the 3.3 Patches, too, but I didn't help my problem either. -Juha -- My wife ran off with my best friend and I still miss him.

Date: 10 Jan 1997 16:19:37 GMT Organization: Freie Universitaet Berlin Message-ID: <5b5q6p$jpn@fu-berlin.de> Hi! I loose memory everytime I invoke: tempRep = [[NXBitmapImageRep alloc] initData:NULL fromRect:&aRect]; [...] [tempRep free]; Documentation says: If data is NULL, the NXBitmapImageRep will allocate enough memory to hold bitmap data for the image. In this case, the buffer will belong to the object and will be freed when the object is freed. This is the most efficient way to allocate memory for the bitmap. But the behavior of my code is different, do I miss something ??? (Is this a known bug ???) Greetings, Thomas -- || Who: Dipl. Phys.

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.

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 have globals in your dynamic libraries/frameworks. The trick is to declare and initialize the storage in one place, and just make 'extern' references to it from other places. The 'common symbols' hack lets one declare storage in multiple places, in the hope that the linker can resolve the proper size and allocate the right amount of space in the program's BSS section. This often occurs accidentally when a header file declares something like 'int GlobalFoo;' instead of 'extern int GlobalFoo;'. The problem arises from the semantics of 'common storage'. It's possible, and perfectly legal K&R C, to declare 'int GlobalFoo;' in one module, and 'double GlobalFoo;' in another module, and then link them together. The linker is expected to resolve this at link time and allocate storage big enough for all types in the BSS section. Ghu only knows what'll happen when you run the code, but the classic linker tries. With dynamic libraries/frameworks, all type sizes must be resolved when the library is built. The common storage hack can't really be supported, as your app may declare a DIFFERENT size for the common storage than is already built in the shared library. Supporting this would require rebuilding the library on the fly in your app's address space to allow for the new size in the BSS space, and the change in position of following symbols. It would be slow. Really slow. The easiest way to clean this up is usually to put the actual declarations and intializations in a .c file, and change declarations in .h files into extern references. -- Mike Paquette I don't speak for my employer, whoever it is, and they don't speak for me.

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 in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day. So I send 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 inside each paper, and mail them by standard Mail to the following five addresses: 1- Stuart Koch Connolly Hall Box c115 501 E St-Joseph Rapide City, SD 57701-3995 2- Karen Lundgren 3889 Kencrest Ave. Halifax, NS Canada B3K 3L4 3- David Wilson 7967 Shoals Drive Apt C Orlando, FL 32817 USA 4- Sylvain Huot 157 Comeau Sept-Iles, Qc, CANADA G4R 1J6 5- Martin Boucher 690 Allard Sept-Iles, Qc, CANADA G4R 1S8 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! (There is always help available from you online service if you do not know how to post to newsgroups, but it's pretty simple... once you modify your letter...250 newsgroups shouldn't take more than 30 to 60 minutes... Then just sit back and wait. 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 sould 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 th 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!!!! :))))

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 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.

Message-ID: <5c3ck0$7mv@BLaCKSMITH.com> Hi Folks, We're developing a site that uses cookies and in the process have discovered the following bug in OmniWeb. I'm using version 2.5-beta-2 but I'm pretty sure this bug would apply to all versions of OmniWeb that support cookies. The bug involves the expiration date. We want the browser to deliberately toss its cookies after their purpose has been served. So we send this header as a session begins: Set-Cookie: session-id=853744603; path=/; domain=.blacksmith.com; expires=Monday, 01-Jan-98 12:00:01 GMT which the browser handles just fine. However, when we later want to get rid of that cookie at the end of the session, we send: Set-Cookie: session-id=853744603; path=/; domain=.blacksmith.com; expires=Monday, 01-Jan-96 12:00:01 GMT Only difference is the expires= attribute, which is now a date in the past. Netscape notices and forgets about the cookie immediately, but OmniWeb does not. You get back the expired cookie, and even after quitting and restarting OmniWeb, it doesn't get purged from ~/Library/OmniWeb/Cookies file. Can automatic cookie-expiration be added to the next beta of OmniWeb? Shouldn't be too tricky, and it's important for shopping basket sites and advertising networks, etc. that cookies work properly.

These are listed "8" and "9" (so if you use "command+8" or "command+9" they should come up). However, if you are in the "Compose" window and do "command+8" or "command+9" nothing happens. Command+5 will get the "Send Options" panel brought up (with the "To" field showing), but neither 8 or 9 do anything. WORKAROUND: Use command+5 to get the "Send Options" panel up and THEN do command+8 or command+9 and you will get those fields. While this is annoying (50% more work than necessary, 100% more if you let go of the "command" key after pressing "5". Summary: - command+5|6|7 will get the "Send Options" panel - command+8|9 does not work the same way - fix is to use command+5+8 (or 6 or 7 instead of 5; or 9 instead of 8) TjL -- Tj Luoma (luomat@peak.org) If you have a web page about NeXTStep|OpenStep, email me the URL!

Si es así por favor sigue leyendo Esto realmente funciona. Es la manera mas justa y honesta de compartir la riqueza en el mundo Invierte 5 minutos de tu tiempo en leer esto y CAMBIARA tu vida. Si quieres saber como ganar miles de dólares rápidamente, legalmente y sin trampas, sigue leyendo. El Internet ha crecido enormemente, Su tamaño se duplica cada 4 meses. Piensa si ves cada vez mas de este tipo de correos es por que funciona y dado que son mas los puntos positivos que los negativos. Pense que puede pasar, quizá funcione además solo son $5.00 dólares. Se gasta uno mas por las mañanas al ir al trabajo en café y gasolina, Así que me decidí a mandar este esos cinco dólares y al escribir esta carta estoy mandando por correo los cinco sobres y poniendo este anuncio en Boletín de Noticias. Muchos escépticos pensaran que es un engaño, PIÉNSALO POR UN MOMENTO!! Hay tantos nuevos suscriptores a Internet de todo el Mundo sin contar a los grandes proveedores en EUA, ellos se interesaran y lo harán funcionar por lo simple del sistema. He aquí unos testimonios de gentes que le funciono: Henry Toy de San Francisco. El escribió que después de 2 semanas de colocar su anuncio en el Internet y enviado sus 5.00 dólares, empezó a recibir dinero por correo, No lo podía creer!!!!, Al principio eran solo unos cientos de dólares, una semana después unos miles de dólares, de repente BOOM!!!!!, A fines de la cuarta semana recibí cerca de $47,000.00 dólares. Vinieron de todos lados del mundo. Cada céntimo es perfectamente legal y lo mejor de todo es que pude pagar todas mis deudas y me quedo suficiente para unas vacaciones con mi familia. No solo funciono para mi, les dio resultados también a otras personas. Markus Valppu dice que el logro juntar $57,883 dólares en cuatro semanas. Dave Manning dice haber juntado $53,664 dólares en el mismo tiempo. Dan Shepstone dice haber juntado $17,000 dólares. Conoce alguno de estos individuos? No, pero cuando leí como lo habían logrado se me hizo lógico. Tanto así que decidí tomar el mismo riesgo e invertir $5.00 dólares. No un gran riesgo lo admito pero con un gran potencial, por que es todo lo que se invierte en este método ni un centavo mas. Eso es todo lo que invirtieron Henry, Markus, Dave o Dan y aun así sus $5.00 dólares les produjeron miles de dólares a cada uno, de una manera segura, sin riesgos y completamente legal. Así es como funciona en 3 sencillos pasos: PASO NUMERO (1): Invierte tus $5 dólares, escribiendo tu nombre y dirección en cinco hojas con la leyenda "Por favor agregeme a su lista de correo", (de esta manera no estas regalando un dólar a alguien estas pagando por un servicio completamente legal). Envuelve cada dólar en cada hoja de papel y envíalas por correo a estas cinco direcciones: 1) H. Toy, 1565 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94109 2) S. Ovendale, PO Box 909, Puunene, Hawaii 96784 3)W. Arnett, 363 Brock Ave., Toronto Ontario Canada M6H 3N4 4) JEJ, Rendon y Mina #299 Nte, C.P. 81200, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, México. 5) Vicente García García, Reino de León Nº29 11ºA, C.P. 24006, LEON, ESPAÑA PASO NUMERO (2): Ahora elimina el #1 de la lista y recorre los otros nombre para arriba. De la manera siguiente el #2 es en #1, el #3 es el #2, etc. Y pon tu nombre y dirección en el #5 de la lista. PASO NUMERO (3): Publica este articulo en por lo menos 250 grupos de noticias. Hay por lo menos 20000 grupos de noticias en cualquier hora del día. Mientras en mas grupos te anuncies, mas gente te vera y te mandara dinero. PASO NUMERO (4): Ahora es cuando empieza el negocio para ti, y empezaras a ver resultados entre los próximos 7 a 14 días. Recuerda que el Internet esta en crecimiento constante. No hay manera posible de perder. **************************************************************************** Ahora te diré como y por que el sistema funciona: De cada bloque de 250 publicaciones que hice, recibí 5 respuestas, Si así es solo 5. Con eso te ganas $5.00 dólares en efectivo, no cheques o ordenes de pago, sino dinero constante y sonante con tu nombre y dirección en el #5. Cada persona que te envío $1.00 dólar publica su carta en 250 grupos con tu nombre y dirección en el #4, es decir 1000 anuncios, En promedio 50 personas te enviaran $1.00 dólar lo que te envían $50.00 dólares. Ahora estas 50 personas se anuncian en 250 grupos cada uno con tu nombre y dirección en el #3, es decir 10,000 anuncios, de los cuales en promedio responderán 500 personas es decir $500.00 dólares mas. Esas mismas 500 personas se anuncian en 250 grupos cada uno con tu nombre y dirección en el #2, es decir 100,000 anuncios de los cuales en promedio responderán 5,000 a $1.00 cada uno son $5,000.00 dólares en efectivo. Al final 5,000 gentes se anuncian en 250 lugares cada una con tu nombre y dirección en el #1 y obtendrás $50,000 dólares antes de que salga de la lista, solo a un promedio de 1% de respuesta de tu carta es fabuloso. Solo en un ciclo promediaras $55,000.00 dólares. A un rendimiento del 1% es fabuloso. >Para cuando ya no veas tu nombre en la lista, tomas el ultimo anuncio y empiezas de nuevo. El resultado final depende de TU PERSONA. Debes seguir este articulo y anunciarlo cuantas veces puedas y donde puedas. Mientras mas te anuncies mas dinero te llegara por correo. Es demasiado simple y sencillo como para dejar pasar esta oportunidad!!! Si no estas completamente seguro o piensas que no puede realizarse, no lo hagas. Pero por favor imprime este articulo y pásalo a alguien que realmente necesite el dinero y ve que pasa. PASOS GENERALES PARA AUTOMATIZAR EL PROCESO: Has todos los paso necesarios para cambiar este articulo como se explica en el PASO NUMERO (2) y cuando estés satisfecho grábalo en formato .txt para importarlo en el cuerpo del programa de lector de noticias(ejemplo Internet News), De esta manera solo tendrás que cambiar el nombre del grupo o dirección de correo para distribuirlo. Consejo Importante: Es importante para aquellos no muy familiarizados con el correo electrónico. Por todos los medios utilicen un procesador de textos para asegurarse de que el articulo lo vean clara y correctamente. Reformatear este articulo con un editor simple como "notepad," o "WordPad" si utilizas "Windows 95". Procura que el texto sea claramente visible y no se necesite mover a la derecha para leerlo. Hacerlo de esta forma asegura que el articulo se vera bien en todos los lectores de noticias. Puedes checarlo con tu lector antes de conectarse en línea, leyéndolo en tu propio lector. Enseguida empieza a buscar los grupos de noticias en donde te piensas anunciar, Netscape 3.0 es un lector muy bueno, por que puedes seleccionar varias docenas de grupos a la vez, permitiéndote distribuir tu articulo a miles de lugares en menos de una hora o dos, Selecciona todos los grupos a donde quieras mandar el articulo (como sabes se hace presionando deteniendo CTRL mientras oprimes el botón izquierdo del mouse). De esta manera se pueden seleccionar varios grupos en una pasada, quizá una docena cada vez. Después de eso veras los grupos seleccionados en el campo de grupos. Después selecciona tu grupo de noticias y oprime "a Noticias" procura poner un titulo adecuado en el Tema, luego oprime en agregados donde aparecerá otra ventana. Localiza el archivo que deseas enviar, oprime el archivo y luego ábrelo, después de eso envíalo y ya esta. Repite este proceso una y otra vez seleccionando de 10 en 10 los grupos, selecciona los de mayor afluencia y no anuncies este articulo con títulos muy rimbombantes solo ahuyentara a la gente. Este es una manera honesta y legitima de hacer dinero regularmente. Pero solo será así si el mensaje es sincero y claramente entendido por los demás lograras el éxito deseado. NOTA DE SOLICITUD: El sistema se basa en que todos seamos honestos, pero es demasiado tentador no molestar se en enviar por correo los sobres con los billetes de a dólar adentro. El éxito de este programa depende si se lleva a cabo y distribuido en un 500%. El sistema tampoco funcionara si la gente toma ventaja de ti y no sigue las instrucciones. Puedes sin embargo si deseas permanecer en el anonimato, usar un seudónimo, pero asugurate de que tu dirección sea correcta. NOTA FINAL: Muchas de las ideas para hacer dinero, no importa que tan bien planeadas e implementadas simplemente no se levantan. Y en muchos de los casos debido a los costos de publicidad, pero la publicidad conseguida por medio de Internet es honestamente muy impresionante. Así que por favor estudia este articulo minuciosamente y tomate el tiempo que quieras, ya que cuando te decidas a participar estarás en camino a recibir bastante dinero. Por la misma naturaleza de este sistema no veras los resultados la primera semana. PERO AL COMENZAR LA SEGUNDA SEMANA TUS INGRESOS DEL CORREO PROVENIENTES DE TODO EL MUNDO VERDADERAMENTE TE SORPRENDERA!!!!! Por favor piensa esto seriamente, por que es una de las pocas oportunidades de hacer dinero rápido que realmente funciona. BUENA SUERTE!!!

This worked perfectly. Because I used almost the NS3.3 foundation objects, the conversion worked flawlessly with _no_ major changes. Under OS4.0 the following problems arised: The NSData objects were freed differently than in NS3.3. Now the system collapses irregularly. E.g. I do the following: #ifdef TEST_VMCOPY vm_address_t space; kern_return_t ret; if ((ret = vm_allocate(task_self(), &space, bufferSize, TRUE)) != KERN_SUCCESS) { NSLog(@"vm_allocate returned value of %d \n", ret); NSLog(@"Exiting with error.\n"); exit(-1); } // filling the space with data ... ... myData=[NSData dataWithBytes:space length:numBytes]; [self addData:myData]; usleep(100); vm_deallocate(task_self(), (vm_address_t) data, numBytes); usleep(200); Crazy you might think. But this code is running in the systems main task and is causing no trouble. However if I'd remove the usleep() functions the code runs but suddenly fails due to freeing of already freed objects! It seems as if the autorelease mechanism is breaking the custom vm_deallocate() method. (The usleep() is a thread safe sleep() implementation as described by NeXT in some programming example) Running _the_same_ code in a different thread causes the following errors: Jan 28 17:57:31 MyObj[8061] *** _NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0xb81d0 of class NSConcreteData autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking . and other autoreleased objects (like NSCStringWithGap). However the thread does have an autorelease pool, because I can send it [NSAutoreleasePool enableDoubleReleaseCheck:YES] (which outputs the different thread numbers on stderr) An ideas what I'm doing wrong here, or how I can figure out how to do further debugging? Is this a known bug and do I have to 'upgrade' to OS4.1 to get rid of it? I'm curious about this, because it worked flawlessly under 3.3 ....

This seems only to be related to which network connector the machine is using.
