The tools are here, and to be sure not everyone uses them correctly, but we virtually make a business of taking people's existing applications and reducing them sometimes to a quarter or less their original size, with more functionality to boot! A dynamic Object-oriented programming language has the potential, if used to the fullest, of significantly reducing the size of applications: Consider the Enterprise Objects framework for example, or just a piece of it like the interface layer of the most recent revision. Using EOF, you can wire together - completely codelessly - incredibly complex interfaces. The key here is that by using the dynamic Objective C runtime, and through the use of patterns like delegation, the EOF designers have targetted an area that in typical applications takes up reams of code, and virtually eliminated it. The EOF interface layer acts as an almost completely generic controller in the Model-View-Controller architecture. Couple this to an already pretty complete interface layer, and all that's really left to code is the model layer, or business objects. If you can identify areas of an application where you're spending a great deal of code, then you can target them and with an appropriate abstraction, eliminate incredible amounts of code. Dynamic OO helps here because you can program at the "meta-layer" where you "build objects that help objects." And with OPENSTEP and Objective C in particular, you also have incredible latitude in how "close to the metal" you go in your design - frameworks like EOF for instance require that you take every advantage of all of the facilities of the C language to make things run quickly enough. You're certainly not going to be seeing a 100% pure Java implementation of EOF anytime soon, that's for sure (hey- we even tried it a while ago, so I speak with some authority!). Another example of targetting one's abstractions is the WebObjects framework. If you look at a typical CGI-based Web application, you'll note that an incredible amount of code is spent managing application state. Identify the problem and target it - create an abstraction of application state that eliminates this complexity and code - this is what the WOApplication and WOSession objects do. I'm actually pleased to see that there's at least one more thing that Microsoft "doesn't get" beyond network operating systems. If their alpha geek is all caught up in the "inevitability" of the astronomical growth of their codebase, then I'd say they've made their bed and they should begin to prepare to lie in it...

That would be the optimal interpretation. I'm increasingly believing that any public statements by Microsoft personnel are carefully crafted to serve a definite purpose, with that purpose often being to mislead competitors, or lull them into a false sense of security. Perhaps, like Gates' copy of Da Vinci's Leicester Codex, the statements have to be held up to a mirror to understand the actual meaning.

If you're going to be using ProjectBuilder anyway, you should just use the M extension on your source files. That's the easiest solution. You can add -Objc++ to the "compiler options" in the project's build attributes inspector, but that doesn't seem to work.

In your main(), create an NSAutoreleasePool before allocating any other objects. Then, construct your objects and the server run loop. On returning from the server's run loop, release the autorelease pool and exit. The exact nature of the server run loop can vary wildly, depending on whether you are building a single or multi-threaded server, as well as other design considerations. The major item to avoid all those runtime warnings and weirdness is to get that default autorelease pool set up early.

The M thing seems to work, but you quickly run into name mangling problems, like if you call "NSLog(...)". Then you have to start doing the "extern "C"" thing, which is not much fun ;-) There aught to be an easy way to enable the Obj-C compiler for all ".m" files. All I really wan't is the ability to do local declarations. When you got Obj-C, who needs C++. Michael

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. 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. 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).

From: "Michelle L. Buck" <buck.erik@mcleod.net> Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.programmer Subject: Re: Openstep Windows NT/95 display update Date: Sun, 4 Jan 1998 13:00:44 -0600 Organization: McleodUSA - http://www.mcleodusa.net Message-ID: <68omcs$89m1@odie.mcleod.net> I need some help. I have an application that produces animated displays. The software works great on Openstep for Mach. On NT and 95, I get bizarre display update problems. Essentially, the application is producing new images faster than they are flushed to screen. New images do get to the screen (just not fast enough). The new images are apparently queued. The queue gets deeper and deeper consuming more and more memory until the application crashes. If the animation is paused before a crash, the queued images keep right on coming for many seconds (event minutes). If after the display has finally stopped changing the animation is restarted, the queue builds again. This is not a window flushing issue. Everything works on Mach, and -flushWindow, PSWait(), etc. have no effect. The symptom is that the Postscript server is done (having rendered an image) and Windows can not flush the image to screen before Postscript has produced another one. Different graphics cards show this problem to different degrees. To see this for yourself, use the Lines example program. Enlarge the window until it covers most of the screen. Make sure you have lots of vertices in the Polly-line that is drawn. Watch and wait. The bigger the area that needs to be flushed to the screen, the worse the queuing will get. So... how to I change this behavior. Can I reduce the process priority of the Postscript server ? Is there some windows function I can call to wait until the image is REALLY displayed ?

It seems to run fine. I will only provide a binary as the version release is not fixed (still beta). The crash Henrik does describe is caused by the 'setvbuf()' call on the trace FILE *stream. 'fclose()' wants to free the buffer on close but in ncftp 3.0 beta it is a static buffer... so *BOOM*. But this is only a tiny part of the problems... -- * Frank M.

Well, brackets are the syntax for sending a message to an object, but there's a deep fundamental different in the ways Objective-C and C++ carry that out. (That is, Objective-C could have used the C++ syntax if it wanted, but it would still be doing something very different.) For details on the differences between Objective-C's "runtime message dispatch" and C++'s "late binding" of virtual methods, see: http://www.misckit.com/DynamicOO/ http://devworld.apple.com/techinfo/techdocs/rhapsody/ObjectiveC/index.html > 2.)

If by "OpenStep for NT" you are referring to NeXT's OPENSTEP Enterprise implementation, then yes, it uses a port of NeXT's Display PostScript Server.

I understand of course that the Japanese input-server is not there. Has anyone tried doing this? I have a Kanji-aware Rhapsody application that tests files from Verilog simulations. I want to deploy the application for my testers on NeXT machines because their so darn cheap and was wondering if Openstep 4.2 can render the fonts as fantastically as Rhapsody does.

Prg1 has 2 root objects in the nameserver. Prg2 just connects via the nameserver to one root object of prg1 and registers itself in the notification center (which is the other root object) as an observer. prg1 | prg2 ==== | ==== | ---------- | ---------- |root |<--------------------------|Observer| |object 1| | ---------- ---------- | | ^ | | | | register | | | the ------- | | | other |anObj|<-------------- | observer ------- | | object | | | | | v | | --------------- | | |root | | | |object 2 |---send a Notification--- |(Notification| |Center | --------------- The notification center can call the observer for a dozen times and then the programs are deadlocked. When I interrupt them I see in the backtrace, that prg1 is just in the process of releasing its NSConnection and tries to release also its remote proxies. In the meanwhile, prg2 makes a back call to one of the received objects in the notification (which are in the other programs address space). My question is: Why does DO release this NSConnection, although there is still a remote proxy around? How could I retain that connection? Thanks for any hints! Phil

Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.programmer From: vfr750@netcom.com (Will Hartung) Subject: How does WriteObject work? Message-ID: <vfr750EMJ7y1.G8A@netcom.com> Organization: Netcom On-Line Services Date: Fri, 9 Jan 1998 19:39:37 GMT Sender: vfr750@netcom2.netcom.com I'm just curious. Does the GNUStep package have a similiar routine (then I could look at the source code)? It would seem that during the first pass, it would cache the object ids into a table, and check if any are referenced. Then on the second pass, when it detected an object whose pointer was in the table, it would write the object once, and a reference ID so when it was re-read, the proper object id could be looked up. But, WriteObjectReference is called for only the root object, but not in the write: method itself. So, does WOR change the NXTypedStream to a memory stream for it to poke through after calling an objects write: method? Or does it change the behavior of WriteTypes during its first pass? And also, how is the behavior different from WriteObject? It's been a long time since I've looked at this stuff, or played with Obj-C, so please bear with me. Say I have a simple class called GamePiece that has two properties. Essentially GamePiece { char icon; id beats; } Then: id rock; id scissors; id paper; rock.beats=scissors; scissors.beats=paper; paper.beats=rock; If I do a WriteObject on rock, it should save all three objects, yes? And WriteObjectReference would do the same. And both will detect the cycle and stop. But if I read back rock, and it creates all three objects, but I only have a direct reference to the first, while I'd have to hunt down the other two myself, yes? How do folks deal with issues like this when, technically I'd rather: WriteObject(rock); WriteObject(scissors); WriteObject(paper); I'm just interested in how folks handle streaming objects that may consist of graphs, and trying to restore the state back properly. I'm also considering implementing a similiar WriteObject protocol for a different platform. I wonder if the Squeak folks have dealt with this kind of object streaming stuff.

Or will it only invoke forwardInvocation: if the method is called the 'standard' way of calling a method? Here's why I'm asking: I have a compiled webObjects app with some code in one of the objects that looks like the following. The method SEL seems to be set correctly. ******************************************** NSString *methodName; SEL method; while (methodName = [methodsListEnum nextObject]) { if (method = [GCPerson selectorForMethodName:[methodName cString]]) { returnObject = [person performSelector:method]; //do some stuff w/ returnObject ******************************************** What follows is what selectorForMethodName looks like in GCPerson. What I'm trying to do is get the selector for the methodName in GCPerson, but if GCPerson doesn't respond, then get it from GCTechnology, which has a similar method that calls sel_getUid(). ******************************************** + (SEL) selectorForMethodName:(const char *)methodName { SEL returnSelector = sel_getUid(methodName); if (returnSelector == 0) { return [GCTechnology selectorForMethodName:methodName]; } else { return returnSelector; } } ******************************************* Then, if you look at the first bit of code you see that I tell an instance of GCPerson to perform the selector I just got, which comes from either GCPerson or GCTechnology. In GCPerson I have a forward invocation method that forwards unrecognized messages to GCTechnology, HOWEVER, forwardInvocation is never called - I just get a selector not recognized exception right away from GCPerson. Does calling a method using a selector bypass the chance of forwardInvocation being called? If so, is there a way around it? I need to be able to call methods based on NSStrings (sel_getUid([aString cString])) _and_ I need to be able to forward unrecognized calls. thanks, rob -- <mailto: "Robert A.

It shouldn't, as far as I know. Using performSelector:... shouldn't be distinguishable from any other method call. >If so, is there a way around it? In order to make forwardInvocation work, there's another method that you have to implement. Yes, it's documented, but in the Foundation release notes. You need to implement the -methodSignatureForSelector: method in the class as well as the -forwardInvocation: method. The implementation from the documentation looks like this: - (NSMethodSignature *)methodSignatureForSelector:(SEL)sel { NSMethodSignature *result = [super methodSignatureForSelector:sel]; // If result is nil, self must not respond to the selector if(nil == result) result = [target methodSignatureForSelector:sel]; return result; } - (void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation *)invocation { [invocation invokeWithTarget:target]; } -Ken -- Kenneth Dyke, kcd@jumpgate.com (personal), kdyke@ea.com (work) Nuclear Strike and OPENSTEP Tools Engineer, Electronic Arts C++: The power, elegance and simplicity of a hand grenade.

Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.programmer,comp.sys.next.misc Message-ID: <34b7edd5.0@donald.info2000.net> Date: 10 Jan 98 21:53:25 GMT Hi - I need to do some drawing at the pixel level and previously have used pswraps to draw rectangles of area 1. It works but is slowwww. So now I have a View object and want to somehow stuff an NXBitMapImageRep into it. Think I have the process worked out, but thought would be helpful to others to post it to net and get critiqued. Here goes: 1) Make a two-dimensional array of unsigned chars to hold your data. 2) Create an NXBitMapImageRep with the pointers to the data array as one of the (many) args. 3) Create an NXImage and register the NXBitMapImageRep with it. 4) Create a cell and initialize it with the NXImage 5) Whenever you want to draw the NXImage to the view, lock focus on the view, send the cell a drawself:toView message, then unlock focus. 6) Modify your data in the data array at will. I think this approach will work but there may be a better way, and some questions are left. For example, it would be nice if one didn't have to use the Cell object at all. Just stick the NXImage directly into the View and avoid this intermediate step. How would one do that?? Also, the NXImage has a composite:toPoint and dissolve:toPoint methods which I would really like to use, and don't see how to use them if NXImage is inside a cell (you would use the cell's drawself:toView method then, and I'd really like to use the dissolve functionality). See what I mean? It would be better for my use if the Cell object was not involved at all. But I don't see a way to register an NXImage with a view, or a composite:toPoint:inView type of method. How do you associate the NXImage with the View? Lessee, then there are questions related to the data itself. For instance, if you use the RGB model how do you determine the appropriate size for each color component? For example, all my graphics calculations are done as doubles. So I have RGB values that are doubles. If I allocate sizeof(double) bytes for each color component of each pixel, and populate my data array that way--but my video adapter only supports RGB let's say two bytes deep--will the NXImage automatically discard the additional bytes? Automatically cast the data to the right size? Or do I have to dynamically find out the depth of the given video adapter before I create my data array and cast the data to the appropriate size? It would be great if I could just make my array of doubles and let NXImage render it appropriately to the video adapter. So that's it in a nutshell. I figure NXBitMapImageReps will give me a lot more speed and better resolution on platforms like mine that don't have good driver support. I'm currently using a generic vga driver, and the postscript output to it is low res *monochrome*. Figure by working at bitmap level will at least get hi res *monochrome*.

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. 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.

However the testprograms run in an environment built from the NEXTSTEP machine. .. but some things don't work on the OPENSTEP side. E.g. pvm_mcast often gives me illegal value errors, while on the NEXTSTEP side this doesn't happen. also the console doesn't work correct. E.g. I can spawn processes but I can't kill them (also illegal argument). I'm guessing there is something wrong with the data encoding. (e.g. little-endian to big-endian conversion) but I don't know how to port to different architectures because there is no porting guide. Has anybody else experiences with PVM and OPENSTEP. Any help/hint would be very much appreciated.

I'm guessing that it could be configured as 'ppc-next-nextstep4' on Rhapsody and would probably compile and run. I haven't tried it due to a lack of willingness to wait for it to finish building on RDR. I'll probably get around to it fairly soon and/or have my nextstep4 changes rolled back into the main egcs repository. Really, the biggest thing that Apple could do would be to *really* start using the GNU compiler again. gcc on OpenStep/4.2 *claims* it is gcc 2.7.2, but if you look at the source you'll see that it is very far from this since it doesn't use the latest GNU assembler and linker which are based on the GNU BFD (binary file descriptor library). -tim dwy@ace.net (David Young) writes: >I'm pretty certain people with clues from Apple read this group, and I'm sure >someone there already knows about this, but: >[begin excerpt from http://www.cygnus.com/egcs/] >egcs is an experimental step in the development of GCC, the GNU C compiler. >A bunch of us (including Fortran, Linux, Intel and RTEMS hackers) have gotten >together to return to the fundamental idea that code visibility and >submissions from the net are vital to the long term improvement of the >compiler.

Under OPENSTEP you could something like the following.

I suppose that the little command line program uses the same method that I described above and service invocations have a timeout after which the service request is considered to have failed. The timeout can be configure somewhere in the application that provides the service. erik -- Erik Dörnenburg - http://www.object-factory.com/~erik This message transmitted by 100% recyclable electrons

It's a rather simple format. The File starts with a 32 byte header: struct eps_hdr { u_char magic[4]; long eps_offset; long eps_length; long wmf_offset; long wmf_length; long tiff_offset; long tiff_length; long checksum; }; Magic number is xC5 xD0 xD3 xC6, byte order for long's is little-endian. If the magic number starts with x25 x21 (%!) it is real EPS :-). The header simply describes the absolute byte offset end length for the three possible sections "real EPS", "Windows Meta-File" and "TIFF". If any offset or length is zero, that section is missing.

Partly, because Apple made it academic as the naming feature is no longer present in the OPENSTEP and Rhapsody InterfaceBuilder. To answer your question, there's NXGetNamedObject() in the old, non-OpenStep AppKit with which you can access objects by their name. (Finally, please indicate which version you are using.

I can't say I've seen the same problems as you have, but I'm not running in a mixed-endian environment either. I don't seem to have any trouble with the console - I can both spawn processes and kill them. And so far all my little test programs seem to work fine. What version are you running?

When I try to select the lower 1 or lower 2 tray of this printer in an application like TextEdit, the application crashes or the document is printed on paper from the upper tray. I can't make a proper tray selection this way.... Can someone please tell me if this is a bug in OpenStep (maybe v. 4.2 will solve the problem)? Thanks!

Will tell what I am doing for the edification of the readers, and then describe where a problem still exists. 1) Allocate and initialize an NXImage 2) Allocate and initialize an NXBitmapImageRep 3) add the representation to the NXImage's representation list using useRepresentation: method 4) When initializing the NXBitmapImageRep, the ptr argument for the data buffer was set to NULL. Thus the NXBitmapImageRep created its own buffer of the appropriate size (based on other init arguments). So I next get a ptr to the data buffer of the NXBitmapImageRep that is now "inside" the NXImage (courtesy of useRepresentation method). a) Get a list of the representations managed by NXImage using the representationList method b) Extract from the list the ptr to the particular rep of interest, my NXBitmapImageRep (which should be the only one there since I only added one). c) Get the ptr to the data buffer by sending the data method to the ptr to the rep ([myRep data]) 5) Write my data into the data buffer 6) Draw it to my View. Since 4.a-4.c and 5 and 6 are all taking place inside of the drawSelf method for my View, all I have to do is a composite:toPoint operation. And viola! It should work, right? Well it *does* work the first time I use it. With one caveat. The coordinate system is at least upside down and possibly backwards too (don't know yet). I generate the data and using pswraps draw the image correctly with 0,0 being lower left corner. But if I gen the data in the same order and place it into the data buffer of the NXBitmapImageRep starting at data[0], the image is displayed at least inverted. And with more testing may turn out to be backwards too. But the image values are displayed identical to the pswraps version. The other problem is more mysterious. Let's say I want to render the image a second time. The code gets down to where it is requesting the ptr to the data buffer and the application aborts because I am allegedly sending a data msg to an NXCachedImageRep instead of an NXBitmapImageRep. Odd, huh? Browsing through it with gdb, I see other interesting things. The NXBitmapImageRep is correctly allocated and initialized and has the correct name (does not think it is an NXCachedImageRep). After running the useRepresentation method for NXImage, there *is* a _rep data element in the NXImage, but it....sort of points to nothing. It *doesn't* have a value of NULL, and in the gdb browser there is an arrow which suggests one can look at a subscreen of its values, but when I click on it, I just get a blank subscreen. ??? Then, at the point where my code gets the list of representations, NXImage does indeed show that 1 and only 1 representation is being managed by it, but that is in fact an NXCachedImageRep. No where in my code is anything at all done with NXCachedImageRep or in fact any other rep besides the one bitmap. What gives?? I'm running NS3.3 and wondering if there are any big bugs in that version's NXImage stuff??? Could be a blessed ptr prob. But the mem leak detector finds nothing. Any suggestions on how to better track down mem probs in that environment besides the brute force manual method? Other utilities out there? Or is there something fundamentally wrong with the steps I've listed here for working with a bitmap image? Thanks in advance for any info and hope this is useful to others. Rich rwarner@prv.com

First of all, there is *NO* Berkeley TCP style Socket class anywhere in the OpenStep APIs (unlike Java). OmniGroup has written there own OmniNetworking framework, which uses platform specific primitives (BSD sockets on Unix, WinSock on NT), and thus they were NOT completely insulated from the underlying system. They made OmniNetworking framework publically available, but in fact it did not work on NT because of the differences between WinSock and Berkeley sockets. Yes, OpenStep (Yellow box) is generally pretty transaparently cross-platform, but there are a few places where Java does a much better job.

Divide-by-Zero is a C language error. Exceptions are ObjC classes. The C language knows nothing about Exceptions. Exceptions are only raised only by ObjC message expressions like [Exception raise:...]. The code below should core dump because the processor will trap the divide by zero at the hardware level. The ObjC language adds nothing to arithmetic expressions evaluation over what the C language does.

For those of you who don't know what this is, it is a bug in all classid pentiums and pentium MMX's which causes the processor to lock up whenever the f00fc9c8 instruction sequence is executed. It seems that there should be a way to patch this at the kernel level, but I am not sure how. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks for any input ahead of time,

I haven't seen any more drivers, etc etc. Given that this bug would not occur except for a local hacker, there is no chance that this would "just happen". Providing a fix would require kernel changes. There is a fix for FreeBSD and probably other free *nixes. Wouldn't it be nice if Rhapsody was released with the ability to patch the kernel for things like this? Dreaming, TjL -- My FROM address is fake. Too much spam. I will check for followups.

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. 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. 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).

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.

(Yes, I know that it's *bad*). I have class-dump, and I've used it to get a class definition, which I used to create a header file. I can build a project with a subclass of the private class, but it's blowing up in drawRect:m when a message is sent to a nil object. The private class is NSColorWheelView. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Jon

Message-ID: <chad-2101981847150001@usp.tempusfixit.com> (also sent to next-prog@omnigroup.com) Hi All I am using the WWDC NT OStep4.2 from last year to build a communications layer used by others in the project who are using MS Visual C/C++ 5.0 and one guy using Borland C++ Builder 1.0. It takes the form of a DLL and a set of C functions exported. These C functions have simple long/unsigned long, char *, and function pointer parameters. All the ObjC/OStep stuff happens internally only. I can successfully make the DLL and the Visual C/C++ guys can link against it and run it fine. We even have Visual Basic guys using it as well! The Borland guy had to mess around with the .LIB file and make his own with some Borland tools using the .DLL. Getting itto link, the functions are called correctly but we get an Invalid Floating Point Op when running using the Borland compiled programs. We have a simple test program and the MS Visual C guys can compile and run it fine. Compiling same source under Borland and no go. Here is the ObjC OStep code ---- // "global" data -- global to all the routines internally but not // outside the DLL NSLock *myLock; long myFunction(long a, long b) { NSAutoReleasePool *p; p = [[NSAutoReleasePool alloc] init]; myLock = [[[NSLock alloc] init] retain]; // some more stuff including spinning off a thread that does [myLock lock] // in the init of the object before being spun off... [myLock lock]; <<<<<<<< this is where the error occurs [myLock unlock]; [p release]; } The error occurs on the [myLock lock] statement in the routine being called. We have NSLog statements after every single source line and so we can tell where it fails by what the last log statement is. Also, we looked at the assembly code in the debugger and can identify the NSLog calls and also the two [myLock lock/unlock] calls. This only happens on Borland. Any ideas? Thanks Chad

The program crashes when I run it on it's own, but seems to work fine under the debugger (gdb). What types of errors cause this behavior? I've been adding code incrementally, and sometimes, but not always, if I add an instance variable to a header, even if it is never referenced, the app will crash. Here's the latest thing that causes a crash: pointsXZ = nil; pointsXZ = [[Storage alloc] initCount:200 elementSize: sizeof(NXPoint) description:"{ff}"]; If the first line is there by itself, things are alright. PointsXZ is never referenced in the rest of the code. Add the next line, and the program crashes, but well after pointsXZ has been initialized. I'm using the Rubberband class from an old example from the Archives, but the program crashes before any Rubberband object has been allocated. Still, I'm leery of that code. Is there a better way to drag a selection rectangle on a view? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even though this is just for my own research, it will be a drag if I have to run my app under gdb to get it to work. Thanks, Lon Kelly fflak@aurora.alaska.edu

The Java support in the source code will obviously not be included because that is licensed by Netscape from other companies like Symantec. But the other essentials will likely be in there. The only problem I see is if Communicator 5.0 is a result of the 'Gemini' all Java web browser (based on HotJava) project with Sun. Anyway, what are your thoughts? I don't know where to get Motif for NextStep though. I don't think Lesstif would be usable because it is very buggy and it doesn't support Motif 2.0. The black hardware community is very small, but this is an opportunity to help extend the life of the hardware.

Free Subscriptions Now Available 1. Objective-C on Java Run-time Java is a language, but it is also a platform, a byte code interpreter with an associated class library. I know someone who is working to build an Objective-C to Java byte code compiler. It would take Objective-C source code and generate Java Byte code object files. When finished, this product would allow Objective-C developers to continue to use their favorite language on theJava platform. It would also allow corporations with large investments in Objective-C to move their applications to a platform with a brighter future than is offered by OpenStep. Market-wise, Java byte code interpreters run on lots of platforms, so they open a huge market for Objective-C applications. Technically, the Java platform is very friendly to Objective-C applications. Java provides the run-time class information and dynamic binding that Objective-C applications need. Java applications are composed of multiple files, one per class, that are dynamically linked at run-time, so there is no need to build a linker, only a compiler. Furthermore, Java chips are starting to be made, and the possibility of a computer chip optimised for something like Objective-C is very interesting indeed. Presumably languages such as Smalltalk and Newton Script could also be used to generate Java byte code. While this project is still in its infancy, it looks very promising technically. The developer claims that the run-time provides the required services according to the Java Virtual Machine by John Meyer, and Troy Downing ISBN 1-56592-194-1. He believes that the limitations lie not in the Java byte code, but rather with the Java verifier that checks for pointer arithmetic and other security violations. If corporate internal applications are targetted, and the Java verifier is disabled, he believes that general Objective-C applications could run gracefully on the Java byte code interpreter. Alternatively, a much more tightly defined Objective-C could run with the verifier enabled. Of course Java prohibits message forwarding, so a work around would have to be developed. You may ask why I am interested in this project. Well there are a lot of things that cross my desk that I do not report on, but this would certainly seem to be of interest to my readers. Marketwise, it is a sad fact that Objective-C is not a hot language. On the other hand, Java is very hot in the marketplace. It would be great to tap into part of the Java market energy. With Objective-C running on a Java byte code interpreter, our market would be a lot hotter. I would make more placements, and your salary would be higher. The whole situation reminds me of when NT was released, and there was a huge interest in running Objective-C on that platform. Eventually NeXT provided that functionality, and the rest is history. I believe that there is as strong a demand now for Objective-C on Java as there was then for Objective-C on NT. At this stage, I am looking for feedback. Is this a project that would interest you? Are you personally interested in helping to make it happen? Would your corporation be willing to invest in this project? Should this be freeware, or a supported product? Does anyone own a clean, fast, Objective-C parser? At the very least, I would like to hear what people think of this idea. Ideally, I would like to generate enough interest in this project to make it happen quickly. I look forward to hearing from you. lozinski@openstepnews.com 2. JAVA on NeXTStep There are a number of tools that could be canabilized for building an Objective-C language on Java. Here are some interesting URL's Here are the URL's for Java on NeXTStep. http://www.cat.nyu.edu/meyer/ http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~umsilve1/djava/ This software reads a Java File, containing the Java Byte Code, and decompiles it, reconstructing the source code file. http://www.kaffe.org/ This is an incremental Java compiler. The previous release evidently worked on NeXTStep 3.3, and someone is working on making the new release NeXTStep 3.3 compatible. http://mrl.nyu.edu/meyer/jvm/jasmin.html This is the software written by the people who wrote the book the Java Virtual machine. http://www.cc.gatech.edu/gvu/people/Faculty/hudson/java_cup/home.html This is much like Yacc but written in Java. 3. O2 Database The O2 database includes O2 Query, which looks like just the object query language I would have designed given the opportunity. O2 and I are evaluating the feasibility of separating the O2 query language from the O2 database, and using the query language to query RAM-resident Objective-C domain models generated from multiple corporate databases. Let us see what happens. 4. Goodbye NeXTStep 3.3, almost Late last year, Apple officially announced that they were dropping support for a number of older versions of their products including NeXTStep 3.3 Of course they latter backtracked, and at this point evidently premier customers are still being provided with NeXTStep 3.3 support. 5. APPLE Breaks Mac Header Files A few months ago, Apple went in and made major changes to the Macintosh header files. The net effect of this change was to make many Apple developers initially very upset, to create lots of work for them, but the change also makes it much easier for developers to port their applications over to Rhapsody, and in the long run, to be able to integrate the two platforms. 6. MacWorld Expo At MacWorld Expo, Apple downplayed Rhapsody. Even WebObjects had a tiny booth. The emphasis was entirely on invigorating the Macintosh marketplace, without spooking the Macintosh users by showing them Rhapsody. More on this topic in the next newsletter. 7. Jim Demetros Promoted Jim Demetros <jdemetrs@apple.com> has been promoted to fill the post Mitch Manditch vacated as head of Apple Enterprise Software division. 8. BPG Changes There are huge changes going on in my company. These past few months, I have been steadily moving from being a one-man hobbiest to being a several-person company. I have two people who work with me on a daily basis, and two additional sub-contractors. The two people I work with are demanding that I move from doing whatever I want to every day to working according to a plan. On their prompting, I fired up the freely licensed Light House Task Manager from ftp.next.peak.org, and we actually have a business development plan for the next six months. You should expect to see rapid changes in my business infrastructure over the next six months. It is kind of funny: I started the company, but these guys tell me what to do. 9 .New Job Seeker Service Send in your resume and answer our questionaire, and if you allow us to multicast your resume, we will send your resume out to all of the OpenStep/WebObjects hiring managers that fit your job search requirements. We tried this approach for the first time for one candidate last month, and he had a new position within a week. Furthermore, his job is an eat-your-heart-out telecommuting position. He drives in to work just one day a week. The rest of the time, he works in his beautiful Marin County home. I believe that BPG is entering a whole new era in matching companies to developers so that both are very pleased with the match. 10. BPG places a Candidate Twice. BPG has been in the business of placing OpenStep developers for so long, that I just placed a candidate for the second time. This candidate was the first candidate that I ever placed, and now I have placed him a second time. He had long since been released from his first assignment, and had worked for another company in the meantime. He had always maintained a very good relationship with me, and so I went out of my way to find him a position. He is in fact the person who got the telecommuting job I mentioned above. 11. OpenStep job Market We have moved to two levels of service for the companies we work with, discount and premium. This allows us to handle a large volume of companies while still providing very high quality service to companies that need developers immediately. The 4 companies listed here are our premium service companies. We expect to fill these positions within the week. We have many other companies looking for OpenStep developers, but cannot list them all. Whatever type of position you are looking for, wherever in the country you wish to go, let us know and we will send them your resume. We will also enter your resume in our database, and when a company calls that desparately needs you will get you a very attractive offer indeed. 11a) Hot West Coast Web Companies Both of these companies have passed through the start up phase, and are in the high growth phase. They are in the phase when the employee risk is down, but significant stock options are still available. They are seeking WebObjects developers, and are paying premium salaries and stock options for experienced OpenStep developers. Both places are wonderful places to work, profitable, growing, focussed on keeping their developers happy, and yet achieving challenging objectives. Give it a shot. 11b)Senior Management Position This is the most senior management position we have ever handled, located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although it is not an Objective-C development position, they are looking for someone who had been trained in the NeXTStep environment. They need someone with workflow experience, and are offering a very attractive salary. In general we are now tracking people with management experience in the database, as our customers have begun asking us for more senior individuals. 11c)Chicago Opportunity This company has a number of opennings. Here is one described. If you are a team player who is ambitious, hardworking, with a degree in computer science we have the job for you. As a member of the Technical Architecture Team, you will be in the unique position to be working on the creation and support of an extensive, robust application infrastructure for building production trading systems. Additionally, since this infrastructure will exist on both OPENSTEP/Mach and OpenStep/NT, you will be working in a multi-platform environment, utilizing your skills with Unix, as well as Windows NT operating systems. You will be delivering commercial-quality software-testing solutions to internal development groups, and helping to manage general software re-use in the group's software library. This includes the design and implementation of a complete testing strategy for internal products as well as applications built on those products. Requirements: Experience with automated regression testing, or test scaffolding for applications. Experience in software re-use efforts a significant plus. Solid operating system knowledge on Unix and knowledge of Windows/NT is also a plus. Knowledge of SQL and RDBMS desired; detailed knowledge of Sybase System 11 a significant plus. These guys will even help finance your house. Chicago Area. 12. Free Subscriptions Now Available This newsletter is now available as ASCII email, NeXTMail, and MIME mail.

We've been generally each creating our own EOF Application, finalizing our materials, and then combining everyone's work. To do this we would try to add everyone's work generally into someone else's, through means of copying over the NIB, adding all the new or updated code by either copying over the files or using copy & paste. The code is now around 10,000 lines or so. In any event, we've had lots of problems with this, most notably the project server crashes when it tries to index the project when we load.

People keep on saying this as if I didn't know it. I said "OmniWeb no longer appears to be supporting 3.2" Perhaps I should have been more specific and said "OmniWeb 3.x and all future versions of OmniWeb will no longer support 3.2." I'm sorry, but OmniWeb 2.x is close to unusable on non-turbo black hardware (too damned slow). Of course, it could turn out that Communicator will also be close to unusable, in which case what I proposed will have been really, really stupid. However, I think it should run rather well given its performance on my old 486 on both Linux and Win95. But from everyone's comments, I am beginning to be swayed that it would be a waste of time, even from the hobbyist view of "I like to see new software run on black hardware." that is motivating me. >To be honest I'd rather, if anyone has time to do this, that they expended >their efforts creating a Rhapsody version, or in writing some other Rhapsody >utility. Let's move forward... Creating a Rhapsody or OPEN/NEXTSTEP specific version (meaning porting it to the native window system) would probably be a waste of time. I say this because for Rhapsody we should be supporting products from companies like the Omni Group in order to encourage more Rhapsody software development. For OPEN/NEXTSTEP, well, why bother when sticking with X11/Motif would make a far easier port. I'm talking about just doing a vanilla port to X11/Motif which shouldn't be that big of a deal despite all the headaches which will be encountered along the way. And it would be easy to support Rhapsody, OPENSTEP and NEXTSTEP all at the same time because the porting problems are going to be with BSD offshoot stuff, not the X11/Motif stuff (assuming anyone even sells a Motif library for any of the systems). As far as moving forward goes, I and many others are not about to throw away our black hardware which functions wonderfully as network terminals if anything else. Porting to Rhapsody is a separate issue to what I'm talking about, but the consensus seems to be that most people are planning on moving to Rhapsody, so who cares about 3.2, and that's a very good thing to know. Personally, and I am obviously in the minority, Rhapsody really doesn't mean much to me as I'm not about to buy a PowerMac (even though I've always expounded the superiority of the PowerPC processor) and if I'm using Intel hardware, I'm going to run Linux. I think Rhapsody is a great thing and I'm really hoping it does well in the marketplace. But if I'm looking for a development machine or a server, I'm going to choose Unix (which Rhapsody is trying hard not to be), and it's going to be either Linux or Solaris. Obviously that wouldn't apply if I were involved with developing Rhapsody applications. Rhapsody will hopefully crush NT in terms of enterprise management and cost of maintenance (in addition to just being faster, easier to program to, having a better user interface, etc., etc.), and hopefully corporations will realize the advantages of deploying Rhapsody once more software is available for it. But I've got a couple of NeXTstations that won't run Linux or Net/OpenBSD and I don't have the technical familiarity with NeXT hardware to assist in porting either of the OSes to black hardware. So I'm stuck with 3.2, as are many other owners of non-turbo black hardware (which get crushed running OPENSTEP). Continuting to stick with these machines is a 'hobbyist' activity, with little justification other than it's fun and I like the darned machines. From a practical standpoint, I completely agree that one's efforts would be better spent developing and porting to Rhapsody.

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.

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.

Netscape 3.x was deathly slow under a 486 under Win3.1.1.... I would think 4.x would be worse and 5.x near impossible.

For what it's worth, I agree. I'm really surprised about how many new friends Navigator has found in an instant. Even among people who previously would have called it a paragon of bloatware. If I were to write a browser there would be two parts of Navigator that I'd be intersted in: the HTML rendering and display engine and the Javascript interpreter. These are the parts that are critical for compatibility with other Navigator-descendants. Everything else could be done much better. Would it be possible/sensible to make those two parts of Navigator generally available on Rhapsody as some kind of shared lib?

I agree with this, too. If one is interested in supporting Rhapsody, Apple, etc., then porting Netscape to NS/OS would be a waste of time. And if a person were to attempt this port with an eye to making a lot of money from it, s/he would be fooling him/herself. However, enough people seem to think "moving forward" doesn't necessarily mean throwing out OS's and systems that work well for them that I would be surprised if *someone* didn't produce a Netscape (or Netscape-like) browser for NS/OS. With the source available, the temptation will be overwhelming for fans of all sorts of neglected OS's to make use of it to extand the useful life of their systems.

It is bloatware, it is not as good as OmniWeb, but right now at this moment it has support for java(script)? and real-audio plug-ins, shockwave, etc which are being used more and more, and force me to boot to Win95. Then again there is so much use of java* for annoying flashing ads that surfing with OmniWeb is often much less annoying, until I hit a page which requires it for viewing content.

I've found an 'outb' implementation in DriverKit (driverkit/i386/ioPorts.h>. It's an inline function, so it should be pretty independant - I shouldn't need any libraries or whatnot. When I try to compile my program, make barfs on the outb implementation, complaining about the assembler code in use: /NextDeveloper/Headers/driverkit/i386/ioPorts.h:82: inconsistent operand constraints in an `asm' The problem shows up here: asm volatile( "outb %2,%1; lock; incl %0" : "=m" (xxx) : "d" (port), "a" (data), "0" (xxx) Bug>> : "cc"); I've no clue about assembler. Anyone have a guess at what the problem is? Or, does anyone have a different way to accomplish the same thing? Thanks, Jon

It does not work in OS/Win 4.2. BUT on Windows, if I glom the command and all the arguments into one big string and pass them to a system() call, it works fine. The problem with that approach is that a visible MSDOS window appears for the duration of the task, which is ugly. I found a message in DejaNews from Gabriel Musatescu back in August where he reported the same problem (and then solved it himself), but neither of his conditions applies to me.

It seems like I want to add a monochrome NXBitmapImageRep to the NXImage (how). Correct? Also, will NXImage automatically reduce the color depth of the existing image or will I need to do that myself. I guess I'm a little confused by as to what exactly is the relationship between the NXImage class and the NX*ImageRep classes, which are not subclases of NXImage.

While most of the simpler utilities had no problems (such as tar, sh-utils, textutils) I have run into a problem with fileutils-3.16. With just a plain configure and make, the package compiles without any error but all the programs give a run-time error: Floating exception A stack trace from gdb shows this fault occurs in malloc(), called from bindtextdomain(). I thought setting CFLAGS="-posix" would help, but then it wouldn't even compile. I built the Gnu malloc library and tried compiling with it, but that didn't work either (I'm sure fileutils had that same library built in already). I also had a problem with perl 5 causing a lot of memory faults, but perl is not a critical program for me right now. I tried building the Roxen web server, which is more urgent (not a Gnu program, but uses their configure script), but version 1.2 b1 won't even pass the configuration stage, and version 1.1 gives several compile time errors about undefined macros which I recognize as being part of the POSIX standard. Can anybody tell me what would be required, short of making major modifications to the Gnu sources, to get these utilities to compile and run correctly? I'm thinking along the lines of building the latest glibc and gcc, but that may give me worse headaches. -- Trevin Beattie "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, *To*reply*to*this* for you are crunchy and good with ketchup." *message,*remove*the* --unknown *asterisks*from*my*email*address.*

NXImage can manage a group of images that are supposed to show the same thing, but with different means (mono/color bitmap/eps 1 bit / 8 bit, ..) It then picks the most appropriate one for a given display or other output device automagically, and also caches images for faster display. (Note: modificactions to the cached images won't show up).

As far as I know, you can't call "C" functions from WebScript. You'd have to write an Objective-C "wrapper" in compiled code and then call that method from WebScript. In addition, if you wanted to run a Unix command-line program from WebScript, you could use NSTask/NSPipe to set up and launch the program.

Is this possible with NSTableView or NSMatrix? One can dynamic create a NSMatrix with variable number of cols and rows using - initWithFrame:mode:cellClass:numberOfRows:numberOfColums: - initWithFrame:mode:prototype:numberOfRows:numberOfColumns: and add or delete rows and cols using -addRow -addColumn and so on - see the online docs.
