How big is it when un-compressed? It's not the movie, it's the braindead convention of compressing (.sea = StuffIt) a compressed movie and then wrapping it into the Mac's equivalent of uuencode (hqx). Chances are that the whole file will need (rough guess) 60-80 MB to uncompress, maybe even more. Note that you cannot uncompress it on NEXTSTEP, since the StuffIt compression is proprietary and uncompressors are only available for 'supported platforms'. You might have luck with StuffIt on a Windows or Mac box. If you succeed, could you please put it on PEAK in uncompresed form? (provided that NEXTIME groks it) Maybe we will see the day when everybody at Apple has understood that stupid crap like StuffIt is one of the reasons NOT to buy a Mac, despite StuffIt's 'ease of use'.

Each file should have its own README. Trying to keep up with a `master Readme' in each directory would be a logistical nightmare... there are 346 directories in the NeXT part of the archive on PEAK, and probably more on Peanuts. TjL ps -- I tried to unpack that file again using Opener.app and my swap shot up 200 megs in a matter of minutes and locked up my system.

Hate to say this, but someone has been telling you porkies. ftp just opens a socket and uses all the available bandwidth that it can. This can be easily verified in about 5 minutes by looking at the source to ftp and ftpd. If you are seeing an effect and it;s not just your imagination then it could be due to buffer sizes in ftp or some other protocol overhead. On the other hand I just tried some rudimentary timings here dragging a 15MB file off a NeXT cube (not the worlds fastest machine) to my PC and got identical throughput for both ftp and http. So I suspect that theres a certain degree of wishful thinking going on here.. -bat.

True - this is what happens in PPP in fact. But since HTTP isn't interactive traffic either then it will still be just as slow as FTP. The reason for prioritising interactive traffic such as telnet and rlogin is that this traffic consists of many small packets for keypresses. Anyway -I just did two simultaneous transfers of the same file from peak one using http and one using ftp. The ftp transfer beat the http transfer by a factor of 10 ! I suspect that this is due to loading on the http daemon as this willl have people browing the site as well as downloading files. ..I also note that a lot of the links I looked at for downloading files had an ftp: URL anyway and so would be using ftp even in OmniWeb. -bat.

OpenStep/NEXTSTEP/Rhapsody Related Usenet Newsgroups ==================================================== 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. 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. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. 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. 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. 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. 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!!! 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. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SOFTWARE This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SYSADMIN Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. ** RELATED NEWSGROUPS ** 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. COMP.LANG.OBJECTIVE-C Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. 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.

Getting the Newsgroups without getting News =========================================== Thanks to Michael Ross at antigone.com, the main NEXTSTEP groups are now available as a mailing list digest as well. next-nextstep next-advocacy next-announce next-bugs next-hardware next-marketplace next-misc next-programmer next-software next-sysadmin object lang-objective-c (For a full description, send mail to listserv@antigone.com). The subscription syntax is essentially the same as Majordomo's. To subscribe, send a message to *-request@lists.best.com saying: subscribe where * is the name of the list e.g. next-programmer-request@lists.best.com Major OpenStep/NEXTSTEP FTP sites ================================= ftp://ftp.next.peak.org The main site for North American submissions formerly ftp.cs.orst.edu ftp://ftp.peanuts.org: (Peanuts) Located in Germany. Comprehensive archive site. Very well maintained. ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/next NeGeN/NiNe (NEXTSTEP Gebruikers Nederland/NeXTSTEP in the Netherlands) ftp://cube.sm.dsi.unimi.it (Italian NEXTSTEP User Group) ftp://ftp.nmr.embl-heidelberg.de/pub/next eduStep ftp://ftp.next.com: See below ftp.next.com and NextAnswers@next.com ===================================== [from the document ftp://ftp.next.com/pub/NeXTanswers/1000_Help] Welcome to the NeXTanswers information retrieval system! 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. USING NEXTANSWERS VIA THE WORLD-WIDE WEB To use NeXTanswers via the Internet World-Wide Web connect to NeXT's web server at URL http://www.next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY ANONYMOUS FTP To use NeXTanswers by Internet anonymous FTP, connect to FTP.NEXT.COM and read the help file pub/NeXTanswers/README. If you have problems using this, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY MODEM To use NeXTanswers via modem call the NeXTanswers BBS at (415) 780-2965. Log in as the user "guest", and enter the Files section. From there you can download NeXTanswers documents. FOR MORE HELP... If you need technical support for NEXTSTEP beyond the information available from NeXTanswers, call the Support Hotline at 1-800-955-NeXT (outside the U.S. call +1-415-424-8500) to speak to a NEXTSTEP Technical Support Technician. If your site has a NeXT support contract, your site's support contact must make this call to the hotline. Otherwise, hotline support is on a pay-per-call basis. Thanks for using NeXTanswers! _________________________________________________________________ Written by: Eric P.

Well to add a little more detail to this.... Once you've decompressed Opener.app, put it in /LocalApps. Can't remember if you need to log out and back in again for it to take effect, so do so--never hurts. From that point on, all you'll ever have to do to unarchive most mysterious file formats is double-click on the icon of the file in question. Opener will auto-launch and do the rest. No more user-figuring-out of the right command-line options. Opener understands quite an array of formats--see its online help for more info. You can also use Opener to _create_ archive files of most of those same types, by dropping files onto Opener's running app icon. It will pop up a little window asking what you have in mind. Best of all, it's FREEWARE. Have fun!

THE BEST WAY!!!! rEAD THIS!!!$$$$ Date: Tue, 07 Oct 1997 14:23:53 +0100 Organization: AOL Message-ID: <343A37E9.37F2@cyberdude.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Take two minutes to read this and it WILL change your life. I just read an article in an internet newsgroup describing how to make $50,000.00 in only one month from a $5.00 investment. Of course I thought this was rediculous ,or some type of pyramid. I talked it over with my family, an attorney, and my friends, and they all agreed it was some sort of scam.I hate scams because usually someone gets burned, and I didn't want it to be me! I blew it off for a few weeks then saw another one in a newsgroup I go to alot and thought, "Maybe this is legitimate!". Besides, whats $5.00 , I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for the day. Well, two weeks later,I began recieving money 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 it EXPLODED!! . By the end of the fourth week , I had recieved nearly $39,000.00. 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 money. 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 $1 bill, money order,or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses: 1. Joseph Frank 333 East Broadway #8 Loveland, Ohio USA 45140 2. Duet Thompson 6 Strathconan Drv Toowoomba, Qld, Aust, 4350 AUS$ 3. Ronald Hovens Moutzhofweg 140 5926 RB Venlo The Netherlands 4. Bruce Fuller 293 Chestnut Street Chillicothe, Ohio 45601 USA 5. Trond Atle Skarning Fabakkveien 8 4812 Kongshamn Norway 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 200 newsgroups. There are at least 17000 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 200 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 200 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 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500. They make 200 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 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 only if everyone down the line makes only 200 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. 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. REMEMBER....HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE MONEY! GOOD LUCK TO ALL,AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH! ---------------------------------- FOR NETSCAPE USERS : 1. Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a message bow. 2. Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used, something to catch the eye !!! 3. now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember to add your name to number #5 and move the rest up) 4. When you’ re done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on ‘FILE’ above the send button. Then, ‘SAVE AS .. ’ DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU SAVE IT. (SO you don’t have to type this 200 times ! : - ) 5. now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first copy !! (click the ‘SEND’ button in the top left corner). 6. This is where you post all 200 ! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and click the ‘TO NEWS’ button again. Type in your flashy subject in the ‘SUBJECT BOX’ , then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now, click on ‘ATTACHMENT’ which is right below the ‘SUBJECT BOX’. Click on the attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click once on your file then click ‘OPEN’ then click ‘OK’. If you did this right you should see your filename in the ‘ATTACHMENT BOX’ and it will be shaded. 7. NOW POST AWAY !!! FOR INTERNET EXPLORER : It’s just as EASY, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this entire article, then press the ‘CTRL’ key and ‘C’ at the same time to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to. Go to the newsgroup and press ‘POST AN ARTICLE’ type in your flashy subject and click the large window below. Press ‘CTRL’ and ‘V’ and the article will appear in the message window!! **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES. Now re-highlight the article and re-copy it so you have the changes … then all you have to do for each newsgroup is ‘CTRL’ and ‘V’ and press ‘POST’. It’s that EASY!! That’s it! ALL you have to do is jump to a different newsgroup and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take you about 30 seconds for each newsgroup !! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUP YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST THE MINIMUM OF 200 **If these instruction are too complex to follow, try Forte’s ‘ FreeAgent." It is freeware for non-commercial use. To download it, simply use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able to find it. That’s it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a PO BOX due to the large amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE ADDRESS ARE CORRECT*** NOW, the WHY part : This entire principle works because it is a format of an upside down (inverted) tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see it that the tree continuous because they want to get money. Those below THEM will continues because they want to get the cash etc. Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example) So then I made $5.00 with my name at the #5 on the letter. Now; each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 posts with my name at #3 and only 5 respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the FUN part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200 letters with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00 !! With a original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING !! And as I said, 5 responses is actually per person. Here is what you will make : at #5 $15.00 at #4 $225.00 at #3 $3,375.00 at #2 $50,625.00 at #1 $759,375.00 !! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroup, and send out another $5.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 5 and start posting again! The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the INTERNET and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU ARE NOW! And this will go on and on and on … get the picture? Well. ‘ there’s 5.000.000 people on the world and most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the internet. SO there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will work the best at the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for YOU! REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY STARTING TO GO OUTSIDE THE STATES AND THERE’RE MILLIONS OF INTERNET USERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE NOT READ THIS YET .. SO PASS IT ON!! So can you afford $5.00 and see if it really works?? I think so! People have said, ‘what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what ! ! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest people users and new honest works ?? I think so … people have said, ‘what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what !! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the INTERNET and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?! Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual INTERNET. REMEMBER … play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will WORK! You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroup to make sure everyone is playing fairly. REMEMBER, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY!!! It’s only $5.00 that you’ll ever spend! You don’t need to cheat the basic idea to make the money! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and only made about $50.00, and that’s after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills; people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had made thousands OK! This is the fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing anything but a little of our time!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again !!! … REMEMBER, YOU COULD BE RICH TOO !! BUT THIS ONLY WORKS IF ALL PLAY BY THE RULES Ok! GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE VERY BEST TO ALL OF YOU !!!!!!!!

Samba [Windows 95/NT networking] was one of those features tho' I'm not sure it was responsible. It could also be the web server or some other piece of software that refuses to top operating I suppose. Best idea is to do a builddisk on another drive, boot it and start adding services, seeing which one of them fails. Since mine has been doing this for six months now, I'm not worried enough to locate the problem.

I used a V33+ modem with 57600 B/s on my 25MHz slab for quite a while and didn't have any trouble. You will need a special cable, though, to make the NeXT serial ports work correctly (HW flow control). Most Mac cable, in spite of having the right plug, won't work with higher speeds. There are ready cable by certain vendors (sorry, forgot the names), or, if you want to do it yourself, there's a pinout diagram in the online docs.

There is a fair amount of information about the errors that can be found on Dejanews, and at http://enterprise.apple.com/NeXTanswers/HTMLFiles/1085.htmld/1085.html In summary, 1. Change your memory slots, sometimes this helps 2. Use the Vulcan Pinch to reboot 3. Remove battery, and let board reset. Other people report success in reversing the dreaded exception error. I am not one of them. There are some really helpful people that frequent this group that have suggested these solutions. to reply, please remove the digits from return address or reply to paquez at mindspring dot com sorry about the antispam

When NEXTIME opens the movie file, it quicly discovers that it doesn't contain the 'MooV' atom that contains all the information needed to find the video and sound samples, so it then looks for 'filename.#rsrc#' to try and get the resource fork. Of course (damnit!) renaming or copying the file didn't get the resource fork. There is a connamd line program, 'showmacresources', and some notes on it's use buried in the NEXTIME release notes. You can configure your system (instructions in the release notes) to always show the Mac resource fork in the File Viewer, so you won't miss out on copying those resources.

You create a file called /etc/resolv.conf, in which you can list a series of nameservers. For example: domain your.do.main nameserver 164.109.1.3 {this is ns.digex.net} nameserver 127.0.0.1 {if you ran a local NS} You could also specify this info via NetInfo in /locations/resolver, but the flat-file approach has advantages. > Also how do I configure & run Openweb?

Get the necessary (Intel) bootimage-files from NeXTanswers and put them on the floppies via the 'dd'-command (as root) (something like "isolate files", lets assume one file 'disk.1' in /tmp, then do a 'dd if=/tmp/disk.1 of=/dev/rfd0b'. There are things/ options to make things faster, read the MANpage, but basically that's it. Eject disk, if neccessary by 'disk -e /dev/rfd0b' or maybe without the 'r' fd0b, don't remember right now). The driver disks are all NS/OS-format (i.e. BSD 4.3), so that you can insert them in the driver an then look them through. If you drivers are not there (Symbios-Logic SCSI, Millenium), get them, too and just insert them in the ".../Drivers/i386"-directory. If there isn't enough space, either remove (really(!)) unneccessary ones before or make another floppy (by NEXTSTEP-formatting it) and put the pathnames on them as they are on the (normal) drivers disk and add 'your' drivers at the appropriate place (.config files/directories into the "i368"-directory). Switch disks when you are asked for 'additional' disks during setup/installation via floppy. Done (hopefully). Greetings, Ruediger Oberhage -- H.-R.

If you do lose the OpenStep promt, you can use fdisk in win to set your OpenStep partition active, when you restart, OpenStep will boot. In order to get the promt back, open terminal and: If you have IDE disk, then give this command: disk -B0 /usr/standalone/i386/boot0 /dev/rhd0a If you have SCSII disk, then give this command: disk -B0 /usr/standalone/i386/boot0 /dev/rsd0a Then you have the boot promt back. Note: In eather case, rhd0a or rsd0a, i'm refering to the primary master disk. If OpenStep is not on the primary master disk, you will have to change rhd0a or rsd0a in the command, possible to rhd1a or rsd1a. Have fun siffi@treknet.is

I have a color NeXTstation (PPP server) at work running NS3.3 and an intel box (client) at home running NS3.3 with a permenant IP address. Using GateKeeper.app, PPP2.2, and the recipe above, NXHosting just works. I was extremely careful when setting up the original computer and PPP connection to follow every document and detail I could get my hands on. Since, it worked from the get-go I really can't suggest a possible fix to your problems. --Ryan

Well... I can definitely put that rumor to rest. It is false. NXHost does work over _some_ PPP connections. I have used it over connections between my Cube and Intel. Matter of fact, I used to NXHost Pacman as part of the stress tests for PPP before I released a new version. I also know others who have successfully used it. Unfortunately, I have not been able to determine why it fails for others. Non-reproducable problems (for me) make it very difficult to track down. BTW, I was using dynamically assigned IP addresses. I'm sorry that you can't get it to work. If you do figure out a way to make it work, please let me know so that an FAQ can be added. - Steve

A comprehensive list is available on Stepwise. Stepwise OpenStep/Rhapsody Information Server http://www.stepwise.com Stepwise has been serving the OpenStep/NEXTSTEP community since March 1993. Some of the many resources on the site include: OpenStep Third Party Software guide, Developer Directory, Mailing List information, extensive listing of FTP and WWW sites related to OpenStep and NEXTSTEP, OpenStep related Frequently Asked Questions.

NeXT Software Archives @ Peak.org http://www.peak.org/next http://www.peak.org/openstep PEAK is the premier NeXTStep/OpenStep FTP site in North America. This is the World Wide Web interace to the FTP site. Apple Enterprise Software Group (formerly NeXT Computer, Inc.) http://www.next.com Here is where you'll find the NeXTanswers archive, with information on OpenStep installation, drivers and software patches. Apple Computer's 'Prelude to Rhapsody' Self Support Site http://devworld.apple.com/dev/prelude.html This site has been constructed to help you help yourself to learn as much as possible about the foundation for Rhapsody, today's OPENSTEP. The site provides an informal collection of pointers, references, and starting points for developers who are using the Prelude to Rhapsody bundle, distributed at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference. OpenStep/NEXTSTEP/Rhapsody Related Usenet Newsgroups ==================================================== 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. 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. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. 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. 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. 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. 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!!! 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. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SOFTWARE This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SYSADMIN Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. ** RELATED NEWSGROUPS ** 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. COMP.LANG.OBJECTIVE-C Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. 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.

OpenStep/NEXTSTEP/Rhapsody Related Usenet Newsgroups ==================================================== 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. 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. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. 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. 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. 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. 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!!! 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. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SOFTWARE This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SYSADMIN Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. ** RELATED NEWSGROUPS ** 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. COMP.LANG.OBJECTIVE-C Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. 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.

Here I'm assuming you have a dialin client w/ dynamic IP and you want run an app on the server and NXHost its display to your client. If your client has a dynamic IP then what exactly did you specify (on the server) for the remote host? You can't put hostname because your client's name isn't going to appear in any DNS table if it has a dynamic IP address. I suppose you _could_ go in and add your clients new IP address every time you open a new connection for it, but that sounds very inconvenient. Yes, NXHosting _does_ work over PPP (I've done it too) but I can't see how this can be done with dynamic IP addresses because the server needs to know the IP address to send the display to, and your client's address changes every time you dial in!

My last PPP ISP had all of their dynamic IPs tied to hostnames. For example, the hostname ppp01.host.com was tied to 205.111.222.333 (or whatever it was). If you got the IP 205.111.222.333 then you could use the ppp01.host.com address, and it would route to your computer. The sysadmin said they did this because a lot of sites were (smartly) denying access to IPs which were not registered DNS-wise. I don't see why any school or ISP could not do similarly. TjL ps -- I did not know that one could not use an IP address when using -NXHost... but then again I've never used it all that much. -- My FROM address is fake. It does not exist. It never has. It is not even currently possibly real. I'll check back for followups. This is the ``least-worst'' solution to dealing with spammers. Remove spaces luomat + next @ luomat.peak.org

Hmm, over my head, errr--another learning opportunity. References? Can this be done on a Turbo NeXTstation and Intel box running NS3.3 or does this configuration require additional machines to act as tunnel servers?

This could be the case for MIT, where Babak's other machine is, but I have had the same problem with two NeXT machines running 3.3 via PPP to a single ISP. And it seems unlikely that that ISP is blocking ports, since all sorts of strange ports work on http and ftp thru them. It happens to be the same ISP (TIAC) as Babak uses. And I expect that this will excite "ahas" on the part of all following this thread. Perhaps there is something odd about NXHost packets that TIAC could detect and use to filter them out. If anyone knows of such an oddity kindly post the details. Pending such a post, I think this explanation is unlikely. (And, I might add, I doubt that TIAC has the confidence to try implementing such a filter.) As for my experience, both machines provided flawless TCP/IP service (telnet in/out, ftp in/out, smtp out, pop in, http in/out, over both a LAN and PPP), before and after the failed NXHost experiments. DNS (via TIAC) worked properly, Public Window Server was enabled on both machines, NetInfo was properly configured in a two level hierarchy and I followed the NXHost instructions in the book to the letter (as did Babak, I believe). So I agree with Steve Perkins - NXHost fails on some PPP setups and no one knows why. Hope Apple can fix the problem. If someone can suggest constructive tests to isolate the failure, please do so - hopefully with pointers to any needed tools.

Something like that happened to me after installing more ram, but it was a different operating system.

I second that notion. Win95 also likes to overwrite the disk for itself, so one of the MS operating systems should be installed first. I personally recommend that you get "System Commander 3.0" or higher. This is a commercial product (sells for about $60 at most computer stores) which installs a special boot block and boot menu. It knows all about Win(95|NT), Linux, OpenStep, OS/2, and many others. It is also very useful for installing multiple OS configurations commonly needed for DOS games without the pain of boot disks. I use System Commander to multi-boot OpenStep, Win95, OS/2 Warp 4, and Linux. I'll probably add Rhapsody RDR to that mix. Special note: Linux and OS/2 are the only OSes which support booting from the second physical drive. Also, some OSes (maybe OpenStep) require their boot partition to start before cylinder 1024. Disclaimer: I just use System Commander. I do not have any affiliation with the manufacturer.

NS understands DOS floppies fine, so no corruption will occur because of the different file systems. However, DOS' brain-damaged 8.3 filenames will hose most examples because their file names are considerably more expressive than that. So after copying your examples from the DOS floppy to a NS-formatted drive, you'll need to rename all of the files whose names were corrupted. -- Art Isbell NeXT/MIME Mail: arti@lavaDOTnet Trego Systems (for whom I don't speak) Voice/Fax: +1 808 394 0511 OPENSTEP/NT Voice Mail: +1 808 394 0495 managed care solutions US Mail: Honolulu, HI 96825-2638

I could go with someone like DeepSpace or Spherical and buy a system from a dealer knowing that it works and having a warranty and the ease of dealing wtih a business. Or I could buy one from someone on comp.sys.net.marketplace which seems to have some good stuff for sale bundled with a bunch of software and accessories which add to the price, but will keep me from having to go out and find (and buy) software or hardware as I need it. My question is, how much do I lose by buying a system "raw" from a dealer? I will be hooking it up to Ethernet so I could download software, is there enough software on the net for me to make use of the NeXT without having to spend money buying a bunch of software, or will I really just have a system that can't do anything? I'm totally new to NEXTSTEP and the platform in general and am curious if any of you have a suggestion or have experience, please fill me in. Thanks a lot... -aaron -remove the "nospam." to email me.

This is the World Wide Web interace to the FTP site. Apple Enterprise Software Group (formerly NeXT Computer, Inc.) http://www.next.com Here is where you'll find the NeXTanswers archive, with information on OpenStep installation, drivers and software patches. Apple Computer's 'Prelude to Rhapsody' Self Support Site http://devworld.apple.com/dev/prelude.html This site has been constructed to help you help yourself to learn as much as possible about the foundation for Rhapsody, today's OPENSTEP. The site provides an informal collection of pointers, references, and starting points for developers who are using the Prelude to Rhapsody bundle, distributed at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference. OpenStep/NEXTSTEP/Rhapsody Related Usenet Newsgroups ==================================================== 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. 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. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. 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. 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. 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. 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!!! 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. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SOFTWARE This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SYSADMIN Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. ** RELATED NEWSGROUPS ** 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. COMP.LANG.OBJECTIVE-C Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. 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. Getting the Newsgroups without getting News =========================================== Thanks to Michael Ross at antigone.com, the main NEXTSTEP groups are now available as a mailing list digest as well. next-nextstep next-advocacy next-announce next-bugs next-hardware next-marketplace next-misc next-programmer next-software next-sysadmin object lang-objective-c (For a full description, send mail to listserv@antigone.com).

Done that fine. Managed to finally figure out how to get my system to ask me for a login. (Set a password for 'me' seemed a bit convoluted). Logged in as root. Installed the DeveloperTools... Problem is that only HeaderBrowser and the Icon Editor work! ProjectBuilder simply starts loading then vanishes leaving /000's all over the console window while the debug and InterfaceBuilder apps start loading and never finish. Tried reinstalling a few times. No joy. Am I missing something? The manuals are awful when it comes to 'troubleshooting' and I have installed the developer tools exactly as per the little leaflet in the CD-ROM. I always thought NextStep was supposed to be an excellent system but so far I've found that it barely installs on my hardware (that has run OS/2, NT, 95, NovellDOS...) and then doesn't load developer tools. PPP is a pain to setup - having to email from work now... Regards, [)amien

Date: Mon, 27 Oct 1997 12:09:10 -0600 Organization: University of Alabama at Birmingham Message-ID: <3454D8C6.CA6@phy.uab.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Several newsgroup posts and even Virtual PC's packaging suggest that it is possible to install OPENSTEP on Virtual PC. I have NeXTSTEP 3.3 running on a Turbo ColorStation and would like to install it on my NuBus-class Mac. I've tried installing 3.3 as suggested by the information available from NeXTAnswers and Connectix, but installation hangs consistently at "Power Management is Enabled." ATAPI and IDE drivers seem to be correct ... the Mach kernel seems to recognize both the CD and the virtual IDE hard drive. There are significant differences between NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, but would any of those differences allow one to be installed on Virtual PC but not the other? Thank you, Jim Greene Physics Dept. University of Alabama at Birmingham The most recent EIDE/ATAPI driver for 3.3 is version 3.31. Version 4.01 of the driver (which, beacuse it is for "Dual" EIDE, would probably make everything work properly) appears to be OPENSTEP-only (not NeXTSTEP-compatible).

You can configure the kernel to recognize DOS, Win95, NS, etc file systems which should keep the file native naming conventions in tact. Personally, have my Intel box setup to dual boot Win95 (ugh, a necessary evil for work) and RedHat Linux 4.2. I work almost exclusively in Linux, and have configured my kernel to read not only DOS (FAT) and Win95 (VFAT), but also NS binaries for download purposes. I currently have a Color Turbo that I want to network into this mix, and this should provide yet another way of getting the files I need from multiple sources.

The easiest thing, in most cases, is to give it a shortname (all lowercase, less than 8 characters) and change the 'tar.gz' to 'tgz' Opener.app knows what to do with a .tgz file (it assumes it is a tar.gz file) and when it is un-compressed the filenames inside it will be fine.

I agree that there should be some kind of application or script available on CD that could do a restore on a hosed installation. I once had some files and directories get munched by a disk grok, and wanted to replace them from the CD but it wasn't easy to first locate the lost chunks, and then to replace them completely from CD. And if you don't have a working system then one is forced to use the CD in single user mode if your lucky and the only options are to reinstall vs. repair installation.. I may (when I get some free time) write a command line script that does exactly what I'm suggesting above and submit it to Apple and the world.. I hope it can be something that can fit on a boot floppy where it is sorely needed.. As to your read errors don't blame Openstep blame your S*%TTY CD-ROM. Also if there are folks out there that really want something like this to show up more quickly to$$ing $ome at me might get it done a little faster..

I've bought from both Spherical and Deepspace. Excellent service from both and my machines chug along 24/7 (the one form Spherical for about four years, the one from Deepspace since I got it in June). >My question >is, how much do I lose by buying a system "raw" from a dealer?

You'll be all set. When Lighthouse released all of their apps for basically general consumption a few months ago the NeXTSTEP community got an invaluable set of productivity apps. Anything you could want, in terms of general use, is there. And there are lots of PD apps that will help you along too. I'm not suggesting that buying from an individual is a bad idea but, if you do go for the "business" approach, you'll be fine. -- David Evans (NeXTMail/MIME OK) dfevans@bbcr.uwaterloo.ca Computer/Synth Junkie http://bbcr.uwaterloo.ca/~dfevans/ University of Waterloo "Default is the value selected by the composer Ontario, Canada overridden by your command." - Roland TR-707 Manual

I have removed all non-essential devices but am still having a problem. What happens is that the first part of the install from floppy/cd combo works fine but then on the subsequent reboot it hangs with the 'System started' message. I have started Mach in -v mode and get a message stating that login could not access WindowServer port! The only hardware left in my machine is: VX motherboard 2x32mb EDO ram Adaptec 2940AU SCSI Fujitsu 1gb SCSI drive (Internal) Pioneer DRM624 6-cd jukebox (External) Diamond Stealth Video 2500 (Alliance ProMotion graphics) I know the graphics card isn't supported but I have also tried a Matrox Millenium II and also tried replacing the CD-ROM with a Plasmon single-disc CD-R that stops at the same point. I have the OpenStep 4.2 user CD loaded when this happens and it appears to mount correctly! I have tried resetting BIOS settings and also resetting the Adaptec card! Help, please! [)amien

I guess maybe I should have included the "boring" "=" way of doing it too, but I loved Mike's example and thought it worth using in a "practical" way. It's not a black image, by the way; if you "step" through the code (copy and paste a line at a time) you'll find that the gradientimage actually runs from black to deep blue -- very pretty. It seems this is a new operator in OS 4 since it doesn't work with NEXTSTEP 3.3. Best wishes, mmalc.

If so, where > is it located, and if not, where can I DL one? Thanks. Beta 1 of OmniWeb 3 comes on the Third Party Apps disc with RDR. However, beta 2 is now available, and since it is a vast improvement on beta 1, and because beta 1 can't download files (beta 2 can), we strongly recommend completely bypassing the copy on the distribution disc, and grabbing the new beta directly from our web site or ftp site. http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniWeb/ Those wanting OmniWeb for the Rhapsody Developer Release will want the package with RDR in its name. --- andrew_abernathy@omnigroup.com - NeXTmail & MIME ok

I have had trouble with starting computer - message saying could not write to C and to repair registry. It was not able to repair. Suggests to run scandisk, I have run scandisk a few times, each time it corrects a lot of problems and says there are bad sectors. The amount of bad sectors has increased each time I run scandisk. Why will the computer not write to drive C? What causes bad sectors? Can they be fixed? What is causing the computer not to read the registry? Can it be repaired? The only way I can get the computer to run is install Windows 95 again, that works untill I restart then the problem repeats. Any help would be welcome but please keep it simple as I am a 15 year old beginner. John McCourt

How about: http://enterprise.apple.com/NeXTanswers/HTMLFiles/1921.htmld/1921.html Nb: you can use pretty much any version of the boot disk to install the system, however if you simply *must* have a 4.1 version: ftp://ftp.plsys.co.uk/pub/Misc/FloppyImages/OS4_Intel_Boot_Floppy_Image.floppyimage Cheers, Matthew [Posted and mailed] -- Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate nin iam adesse.
