Many were dropped for licensing reasons - WriteNow, Mathematica, TopDraw, Sybase, etc. Some were dropped for portability reasons - WriteNow was written in 68K asembly language. Many of the sound-intensive apps were dropped at the time of the release of Nextstep/Intel because of the poor sound support of Intel hardware. Likewise, any app that relied heavily on the DSP was dropped after Black hardware was discontinued. Many of the orignal Demos were discontinued for [lack of] support reasons. Annoyingly, earlier NEXTSTEP updates would delete discontinued apps and demos in the update process. The first time I noticed this, I recovered the originals from old CDs (or ODs). After that, I learned verify the update plan to make sure it didn't delete anything I felt was important. On the plus side, many new Apps and Demos have been added over the years. -- Brett M.

I think that statement is misleading. There's no inherent limitation to NEXTSTEP to cause it to be any worse a server than any other flavor of Unix. The issue is that people haven't ported the latest web servers and browsers with the latest bells and whistles to NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP because its market share it currently too small too make the port commercially profitable. Of course, the lack of this software is the reason why people aren't running to NEXTSTEP in droves. Its a chicken and egg problem. If/when Rhapsody is forced down all the Mac throats things will change because then OPENSTEP/Rhapsody will instantly have a much larger market share. BTW - I've run an apache server off NEXTSTEP and had no problems what-so-ever and there's a lot of free Unix add-ons that can be easily re-compiled to run on it. The notable exception is Java, but again that's not due to any limitation of NEXTSTEP, it just hasn't been completely ported over yet. The only "bad" thing about NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP is that not enough people realize how "good" it is. Let the product speak for itself. $0.02 - Gareth

Geez, pathetic Are you just trying to be insulting. If you were to look at similar posts before the Apple/Next merger, you would find them consistent with posts happening now from Next users. As for the Next hardware. My personal expirience suggests that the operating system is slightly more reliable on Next hardware, as opposed to Intel hardware. Perhaps we'll see a similar thing happen with Apples PPC. Is OpenStep the end-all-be-all. No! But it is extremely reliable and easy to use. Even these systems can have their problems, but bringing down the operating system is uncommon. If your going to use and be responsible for a computer, then you should learn the basics of maintenance. You simply seem to require that knowledge less often with Next. Darren

If you don't, you can use PINE to read the MIME messages and 'export' them to a file. Nothing too easy or clean is possible, but those two are. TjL

I want to have win95 for the very limited purpose of booting to play games :) And NT to do OpenStep NT development on... I have a 1Gb drive for all purposes (it's a laptop)... So, I was thinking I could set up a tiney partition, say 64Mb's for win95; just enough to boot off of. And give NT the rest, but make the NT partition a DOS type of partition. Figuring, I could boot in win 95, yet save all my apps on the NT partition; games included. That way, I could kick off the 64Mb parition on drive C, and then double click on say Quake on the drive D/NT partition and things would work. Otherwise, when not playing games I could simple boot on drive D with NT and do development. However, I understand that to install OpenStep on NT one MUST make drive D an NTFS filesystem (not to mention install ALL of the network stuff). If I do have to make drive D NTFS, then, I'm guessing, when booting in the win95 partition, I won't be able to access any files on the NT partition... So is my only option set aside, say 200Mb for win95 and games? Or is there someway to share filesystems between win95 and NT w/ OpenStep? (perhaps I should just get a zip drive and boot off of that for games....) Thanks for any pointers :) -- Thanks, be well, take care, later, John Kheit; Self expressed... __________________________________________________________________ monoChrome, Inc.

We use CVS and find it ok. Newer versions of CVS can also handle NIB files which are treated as files. NIBs don't work with the client/server configuration of CVS so we export the repository by using NFS and run all CVS operations locally. CVS may not work very well if you have a large set of developers because CVS has an optimistic locking strategy. We also noticed some performance problems when using CVS with NFS, but this might be Nextsteps old NFS implementation. -- # Constantin Szallies, Energotec GmbH # szallies@energotec.de # 49211-9144018

You installed the driver that handles the low level hardware. You forgot to also install the unix level driver that implements the tty devices for serial ports.. To fix it, install the PortServer driver in Configure.app and reboot. The reason these are different is that there are more uses for a serial port than just tty driver access. For instance you might just be using a serial mouse. -- ___ ___ | James E.

It checks against the hardware idea of the machine, so if it's not licensed for the machine you run it on, it won't work. Also make sure that the command line programs (math and something else) are in your path. I've seen that problem here a lot. Mathematica does work froma shared copy, but all the machines need to be in the license file. You aren't trying to run black binaries on your Pentium are you? ab

(That's been the status since last summer.) However, it now appears that Apple is busy putting java into Rhapsody, so unless someone does have an urgent need (and are therefore willing to pay us to finish our implementation) we'll probably just wait for Apple's java.

Is anybody else experiencing the same problems? Yes - I've been experiencing the same problem. It works fine on black hardware, but not on Intel or HPPA (I don't think it works on SPARC either, but I can't test right now and I can't remember for sure from my previous tests since they were a while back). It's not an OS version problem, as it works fine on black hardware running 4.1. I work around the problem by NXHosting from black hardware to my Intel box.

I tried installing NS 3.3 on my Gateway 486, DX250V. I have an Adaptec AHA-1542C SCSI host adapter with An old Sony CD-ROM attached (actually the unit that came with a NeXT). The hard drive is 1.2 GB Western Digital IDE. The drive had three primary DOS partitions (made with the Help of System Commander, see earlier posting titled "Nextstep 3.3 with System Commander") and 201MB left free for NextStep. The installation seemed to fail at the end of the first stage that is called "Preparing disk for NextStep installation". A couple of files could not be moved or created and the computer killed all processes and said "It's safe to turn off the computer". A reboot brought up the type n or d message,but quickly (1-2 seconds) returned the message "no OS", then said strike F1 for reboot retry or F2 for setup. The system is now locked. Perhaps the worst is that the attempted install affectively destroys Win95 that is in the second partition. The other two partions (1 and 3) which have DOS 6.22 survive intact. Actually I've tried this install 3 times and the specifics change a bit depending on whether or not I use System Commander to hide the first three partitions before installing NextStep. I've looked at a lot of Next Answers on www.next.com but must be missing something. I have the specific messages given during the install, but though I would wait and see if anyone was interested in my problem. Chris Jensen has tried to help me. He has sucessfully installed NextStep with Win95 on a SCSI HD (no System Commander though). Is the IDE HD my problem? Has anyone put NextStep, with or without DOS parttions, on an IDE hard drive? How about an Gateway 486 (circa Jan. 1994). All helpful comments welcome, Thanks. Ian Leslie, ileslie@nmsu.edu New Mexico, USA PS. I plan to try the NeXT and System Commander people, but have greater faith in the people out there that have actually done it.

I recently got a new intel machine to run OS4.0 and have transfered most apps to their intel version. Unfortunately, I only had the moto binaries installed for Checksum 1.15 could find the fat version of the app on any ftp site. Then I saw Stone designs great special to buy all their apps for some low prize. I did so manly to get the new version of Create.app and an updated intel version of Checksum. However,.... The version of Checksum received is v.2.00. With it I cannot reconcile any accounts that are carrying a negative balance. Whenever I enter a negative number in the balance text field it defaults back to whatever figure was there to begin with. The difference field below always indicates zero for this case. Is anybody else experiencing the same problems? To see if maybe only my account was corrupted, I tried creating new accounts and the same thing happened. I also tried running Checksum2.0 on other OS4.0 machine at work with the same result. Stone Design said they weren't able to recreate the bug on their side and pushed the problem off as being "probably caused by using OS4.0." Unfortunately I don't have access to NS3.x anymore to test if it runs fine there. Right now I am back to NXhosting the older moto only Checksum v1.15 across to the new intel machine to balance my checkbook. What a pain and waste of money (Checksum v.2.0). If you have experience similar problems with the new version of Checksum running under OS4.0 (or NS3.x), please let me know. I appreciate any pointers or helpful hints to get this running right. blue skies, Hanspeter Schaub -- Hanspeter Schaub Ph.D. Graduate Research Assistant Aerospace Engineering Department Texas A&M University http://http.tamu.edu:8000/~schaub schaub@tamu.edu (NeXTmail welcome) We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.

I have a question concerning OmniImage. When displaying an EPS image, it provides a grey background upon which the PostScript is rendered. If I then do a "Save To.." using something other than tiff (e.g., gif), the background is rendered in black. For the most part, this renders the gif file useless. I can overcome this problem by altering the EPS file to purposely set the entire background to white or some other color, and this is not difficult on EPS files I create from scratch. However, it is darned near impossible if the EPS file is a file output from some other application. It also causes the EPS image to block everything "underneath" when the image is placed into another document. I suspect there is a Preference available to me, but the Preferences menu item is greyed out and unavailable. Can you give me some help? Thanks in advance. Bill Lee PS: I discovered quite by accident that if you click inside an OmniImage window, the background changes to some random color. Is this a "feature"?

There isn't any such software-- of course, there aren't any known viruses for NEXTSTEP on Black hardware, either. Remember, Unix systems are effectively immune to being infected by viruses because of the multiuser protections which prevent normal user processes from changing system files. If you're concerned about this type of thing, spend some effort improving the Unix security aspects of NEXTSTEP-- update sendmail, install TCP_wrappers, replace the portmapper, disable unneeded services in /etc/inetd.conf, etc. ( If you had a NEXTSTEP/Intel system, it possible for it to contract a boot sector virus if you dual-boot into Windows or some such, but normal PC antivirus software will check for those. ) -Chuck Charles Swiger | cs4w@andrew.cmu.edu | standard disclaimer ----------------+---------------------+--------------------- I know you're an optimist if you think I'm a pessimist.

If you're just going to use Apple's Java and scrap your own implementation, have you considered releasing yours to GNUstep (preferable, you'll get the best development that way), or to the MiscKit (the way NeXT is handling the IndexingKit and 3DKit, non-free source, but free binary and outsourced maintenance)? There is already work going on for a free Java runtime (kaffe), but yours might still be useful and whatever OpenStep-specific stuff you've done (like AWT) definitely would make a wonderful addition to the GNUstep effort. You might not like releasing it free after all the work you guys have put into it, but I think it would be better to see someone finish it than just throw it away and have all that effort wasted.

I entered the number 7 once and saw IDE driver as choice 6 on the continued list. Guess what? You can press 7 again and get another two choices (this I didn't see until the fourth attempted install). One of those two choices is for IDE driver for HD's larger than 504MB. I have 1.2GB drive and was using a 504MB driver. No wonder it was destroying Windows 95 which was located on a 511MB partition starting at 91MB in. Well once I installed the right driver all went smoothly.

If you want to buy a ready make PC with NeXTSTEP and you live in Europe or the UK you should check out ( http://www.plsys.co.uk/plsys.home.htmld/index.html ). If you live in the USA you can contact BIFROST Workstations (http://www.bifrostworks.com/) or Optimal Object ( sorry I can't remmember their site's address, but you can use Lycos or Yahoo to find it ). On the other hand if you want to buy original NeXT hardware you should look at Spherical Solutions ( http://www.orb.com/ ). However before you buy any hardware be sure to check the StepWise NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP Server where you can find a WWW introduction to NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP (just to get you more excited). As for your second question, no NeXTSTEP does not run on Macs, because if it did NeXT would be able to sell NeXTSTEP for Macinstosh which it didn't.

Message-ID: <5ia9nd$df$1@gaea.omnigroup.com> The year-long 0.5 beta period for OmniCD has been completed. Thanks to everyone for making this a very successful beta test. OmniCD now enters 0.6 beta; there is no word on how long this beta phase will last... (Version 1.0 will be the first non-beta version. Well, hopefully.) For more info or to download, see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCD/ (You can download directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniCD.0.6.NIHS.b.tar.gz) Please report bugs or send requests to omnicd@omnigroup.com. Changes: - Works on at least some ATAPI drives, though not quite optimally (most device info is not read, and manual opens won't work the first time). Should be quite acceptable for the average user, however. - Very different UI borrowing heavily from the 3.x NEXTIME. (Includes a 2-bit gray look which looks more like a standard NeXTstep app.) - App icon control panel may be disabled: dwrite OmniCD UseControlIcon NO - Remembers volume settings between sessions. - Can read CD digital audio from Plextor CDROM drives (NeXT hardware only*). - Will attempt to read CD digital audio from Sony/Matshita/Apple and Plextor CDROM drives on non-NeXT hardware even though it will frequently (always?) fail (used to refuse to try on other architectures)*. - Advanced users can edit the deviceInfo.dict file inside the app wrapper to add support for reading CD digital audio from additional CDROM drives. The format and data are fairly self-explanatory; email me if you have questions. Also, if you have success extending the number of supported CDROM drives, please let me know and send me the appropriate entry. This will not work for all drive types; some require extra support and must therefore be dealt with internally via a special subclass rather than by an entry in deviceInfo.dict. *These may work on non-Adaptec 2940 or BusLogic SCSI cards, but I am unable to test them. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can test CDDA extraction with other configurations.

I try to fork a process with the NSTask class (but it is the same when I use simply fork() and execv()) and every time the DO client will hang, when I remove all the DO stuff from my process the the fork works. It it the same when a DO server try to fork a DO client. It is no possible to use threads instead of own processes for my project. I need really a workaround for this problem or I can't go on with the project. Is there someone who knows a solution for this problem? Thank you in advance. Juergen Moellenhoff

No way to merge tiffs or NIB files. This is not very true! Tiff was never a problem (you should tell CVS that tiff is a binary file though). For nibs it work if you are using NFS without any problems (well, you have to massage a bit the CVS configuration -- but this is kind of trivial). If you are using CVS in Client/Server mode, you have to use an old Pallet for IB (I'm going to fix it and submit the OpenStep version -- if someone didn't already done that job).

The performance problem is due to strange CVS algorithm (for details see the discussions on the info-cvs mailing list). You can improve somehow the performance if you first make cvs up and afterwards cvs ci or cvs add ...

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

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.

There are 2 components: the ISASerialPortDriver and Terminal Driver. The ISASerialPortDriver has a separate driver loaded for EACH port. This means that there is a separate process looking after serial mouse and one looking after your fax line. This is a great improvement as I can remember crashing my system by moving the mouse too fast when there was a fax on the line. The TerminalServerDriver uses these serial ports to provide terminal services on the port. This is where your /dev/cufb and /dev/cufa devices are created. So you can have serial ports without terminal services (ie. mouse). You must setup them explicitly. Configure.app will want you to add the components individually and will make very few assumptions about what to add in this area. Hope this helps, Greg Shaw.

So you need a spare 700 meg of drive space for the file. Also, if you are running under NextStep and trying to write the image to a DOS partition the mkisofs doesn't work directly. I use the line: mkisofs -l -R $* | /bin/cat > iso.raw which does work. The reboot under win95 or win3.11 to blow the image. The only software I've found which is comapitble with mkisofs images in Win On CD Togo. I don't know what this is like for anything else, but for burning images it works a treat. I keep a small (25MB) DOS/Win3.11 partition on my machine for booting just to run this. The win95 version also works, though the GUI is a bit more of a pain in the arse to drive. -bat. PS: if you want a copy of mkisofs then theres a copy in pub/pete on maekong.ohm.york.ac.uk - it's compiled for black & white under 3.3

The included fax drivers are for some antique modems which you could never get in Europe. They simply don't work with actual modems. You need an external app for sending and recieving faxes. There are several solutions: - NXFAX is a commercial product which supports a bunch of modems and sending/receiving of faxes. There is a demo version on the net (e.g. on http://peanuts.leo.org/pub/comp/platforms/next/Commercial/Communication). - OlafAM is a sendfax/receivefax/getty/answer machine and shareware. You can find it at http://peanuts.leo.org/pub/comp/platforms/next/Communication/apps/OlafAM.1.1. NIHS.b.tar.gz - JollysFax is a sendfax-only program (shareware, too; http://peanuts.leo.org/pub/comp/platforms/next/Tools/fax/JollysClass2_Fax.0.7 0.NIH.b.tar.gz or .../JollysClass2.0_Fax.1.00PR2.NIH.b.tar.gz). If you combine it with mgetty (ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/networking/communication/modem/mgetty/), you have a cheap sendfax/receivefax/getty solution (I don't know, if the answering machine part of mgetty runs on Next). You can also use the sendfax part of mgetty together with Ghostscript which is a free solution. - Mix (http://peanuts.leo.org/pub/comp/platforms/next/Commercial/Communication) is a commercial product for computer integrated telephony for the i56 DSP which needs additional hardware.

This is surpising; I sent them email months ago outlining this exact problem, and that was definately before I had 4.x installed. They said they'd look into it.

Here's the announcement message for it--best of luck! William [Sorry for the English x-posting to a german newsgroup, but maybe this is of some interest] Howdy! I am proud to annouce the public availability of the easy-install binary CAP (Columbia Appletalk Package) for NeXTStep 3.3/OpenStep 4.x on Intel processors. It contains everything to turn your NeXTStep system into a AppleShare (Appletalk native Phase II) file and print server. Additional it enables you to mount remote AppleShare volumes on your NeXTStep machine and to print to remote LaserWriters. It contains an administration program called 'CAPer.app' that does most of the installation work and provides you with an interface to control the CAP processes quite painlessly. The installation was tested by various beta testers and for most of them it seems to work. Some parts still requires some sysadmin knowledge but exporting filesystems, mounting filesystems and providing printer spool services should be quite easy to work with. The distribution contains the full source code for BPF0.25b3 and CAPpl198, so you can rebuild the major parts of the package if you want to include some special features in CAP. At the moment you can fetch the package from http://www.this.net/~frank/CAPer.app.V1.I.b.tar.gz http://www.this.net/~frank/README.rtfd.tar.gz You may want to fetch the readme file before downloading the full 2.5 MByte package. It contains information if CAPer will work on your system, see below. ***** On what systems does the package work: It was tested on NeXTSTEP 3.3/Intel and OpenStep 4.0/Intel where it seems to work quite well. It does not work on NeXTSTEP 3.2/Intel due to some missing features in the kernel. ***** Anything to consider before installing: Appletalk Phase II needs multicasting capabilities. Some ethernet drivers don't support this, so read the CAPer documentation if your driver is supported. The kernel server (BPF) needs a lot of kernel memory, you may want to give your system more buffers. Again look in the CAPer documentation on how to do this. It is not tested in all environments, so bugs may still lurk inside. As usually you are working at your own risk. ***** What's the price of this package Zero. Null. Nichts. Nada. CAPer/CAPpl198/BPF/afpmount are distributed free of charge for any purpose abeit various copyrights apply. Look in the CAPer documentation for more information. You may not sell it, but you can give it away. ***** Shall I put it on the ftp archives Please do not at the moment. As soon I received reports that the package really works in most environments I will do this myself.

If two developers are modifying the same tiff, you have a problem in project managing, not a problem of CVS :-) Anyway, you can use a policy of exclusive locking in CVS too, even if it is not the standard case. And you can prohibit merging of binary files too. If you need better tools than CVS, have a look at ClearCase or Perforce. Both not available on NeXT but on most other platforms.

You'll need software to move from .PFA to .PFB--I believe the T1FONTUTILS will allow this--I also have the C code for a program called T1FONT (by Ken Borgendale) which should do this.

It is a "traditional" NEXTSTEP app. This is why you couldn't simply recompile it for OPENSTEP/NT. Mail.app on OPENSTEP Solaris is a different program altogether. NeXT doesn't supply an e-mail client with NT, but this was probably because there are already several e-mail solutions on NT that people have invested in, and are already using - for marketing reasons, rather than technical reasons. In general, you can simply recompile OPENSTEP compliant apps on OPENSTEP/NT, and in 99% of the time, they will just work, unless they make use of specific features of the underlying OS by bypassing the OPENSTEP frameworks and using native system calls.

The performance hit will be more noticable if you are running a mixture of 3.3 apps (Mail, Edit, etc.) and OPENSTEP apps (PB, IB, etc.) at the same time, as in this case both old 3.x shlibs and newer OPENSTEP shlibs will be loaded into memory. Rule of thumb is to put as much memory as you can into your computer, as this will always be beneficial to performance and RAM is relatively cheap these days, anyway.

WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions.

Hopefully I can do the same for you. Let me be sure I understand you: you are running NS 3.2 and want to setup the free PPP 2.2 for NS? (I don't think the CoXist stuff matters for this point). once you have kermit's "~/.kermrc" set up properly for your modem and serial port, add this: define ppp - !pppd < \v(line) > \v(line) defaultroute then you should be able to use kermit to dial to your ISP, manually enter the login information, and get the connection started (You'll know when you get a message "Starting PPP" or see a bunch of junk characters). Then do 'control' and ']' and then 'c' to get back to the kermit prompt and enter 'do ppp' and that should start pppd on your end. Because this will soon become a tedious process, you will no doubt want to set up a chat script, which is the hardest part, and once you figure it out you wonder why it was so hard. Basically you want to send a series of AT commands to the modem (however many are necessary to get the config you want, consult your manual) and then expect that they will all be answered by "OK", and then do a series of 'send/expect' strings based on the prompts you get from your ISP. For example, assume when you connect with kermit you see this: CONNECT login:<you enter your isp login name here> password:<you enter your isp password here> Starting PPP&*!&*&_*!&*$!(#!{}!(!^(^$(!)) You would want to "expect" "ogin:" and then send "mosher" (assuming that was your login) and then "expect" "word:" and send "mypassword" so it might look something like this: ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "ERROR" "" ATX3 OK ATQ0H0 OK AT&D2 OK ATW1 OK ATM0 OK ATDT5551212 "CONNECT" "" ogin: jmosher word: mypassword (note you will have to changet hose AT commands to suit your modem.) If there are spaces after the colons in "login:" or "pasword:" then put a space in your "expect" part of the above, such as "word: " mypassword Hope that helps get you started. BTW put those commands in a file called 'chatscript' and call it using '/usr/local/bin/pppd connect chat -v -f /path/to/chatscript' or something similar. drop me a line if you have more Qs TjL ps -- you should also sign up to the PPP mailing list -- TjL <luomat@peak.org> http://www.peak.org/~luomat/next/ "Give a man a piece of working code and you solve his problem.

There are a few diffrent versions of acrobat reader 3.0 for the mac floating around, none of them clearly labeled as being any diffrent from one and other. Many installer packedges contain one or two versions. If you haven't gotten this setup yet, when you try to install acrobat choose custom install in the box and you may be able to not select ~ATM (the adobie type manager init).

I definitely agree that NeXT is not very well suited as a primary server, but a workstation, infact, as a workstation, I have not yet found a suitable replacement... (My NeXT Cube and Stations controls the rest of my network cheaply and efficiently). Apache works great on NeXT, the old CERN Httpd and there is another even older httpd software that Apache was originally derived can also be used on NeXT. I had CERN, but Apache is far better, IMHO, except for the web server logs. CERN httpd creates a log for each date and name it accordingly, but Apache does not.

Azienda, operante nel campo dei servizi telematici, ha deciso di collegare in Videoconferenza via-Internet ISDN la sua Sede principale e altre cinque sedi periferiche in Italia e all'estero. Nella sede principale, vorremmo installare n. 3 terminali che, pilotati da un'unica unita' centrale, possano intrattenere tre sessioni di videoconferenza con le sedi periferiche in modo assolutamente indipendente ciascuno dagli altri. In sintesi, tre persone devono poter effettuare ciascuno il proprio collegamento, con una diversa sede periferica, nello stesso momento. Sarebbe come avere tre PC collegati a tre linee ISDN diverse, ma noi vorremmo fare tutto utilizzando un'unica linea telefonica, un'unica unita' centrale, un unico modem e tre terminali video, opportunamente equipaggiati con telecamera, microfono, casse acustiche ed eventuali cuffie. I tre terminali verranno utilizzati solo per questo scopo, per cui non ci interessa che siano necessariamente dotati di tastiera, mouse, ecc., ma devono poter prevedere questa possibilita' per il futuro. L'unita' centrale verra' sistemata al piano terra della ns. sede, mentre i tre terminali saranno alloggiati in tre stanze al primo piano. Agli OPeratori interessati chiediamo: - di confermarci la fattibilita' del ns. progetto o, se opportuno, quali sono le modifiche da apportare e per quale motivo; - di segnalarci quali dei Vs. prodotti (HW e SW) ci renderanno possibile la realizzazione nel modo ottimale; con l'occasione, sottolineamo che la Vs. offerta dovra' riferirsi a prodotto finito e perfettamente funzionante, per cui i prezzi che ci proporrete potranno comprendere anche i vari pacchetti software, qualora Vi sia possibile; - qualora non foste nella possibilita' di fornirci tutto l'HW/SW occorrente, Vi preghiamo di segnalarci quali componenti o applicazioni che noi dovremo reperire altrove sono compatibili con i sistemi da Voi forniti; - di informarci riguardo alla compatibilita' tra i Vs. sistemi ed altri eventualmente utilizzati da altre persone o societa' con cui eventualmente dovessimo collegarci, sempre via-Internet ISDN, in videoconferenza (es.: ns. collaboratori, clienti, fornitori, ecc.); - qualcuno ci ha accennato ai "radio modem"; potreste dirci cosa sono esattamente, per quali usi possono essere impiegati e, quindi, se possono prestarsi al caso in questione? - di farci pervenire (CON LA MASSIMA URGENZA!!!) la Vs. proposta/offerta a mezzo e-mail e, contemporaneamente, tramite posta o corriere, unitamente a cataloghi, schede tecniche e listini.

Now I'm looking for a word processor and possibly dtp software for my (soon to be purchased) NeXT Station. After some research, I found that WriteNow was no longer bundled with NS3.3.

Last, my dad just opened a little printshop and right now, he uses a PC with MS Word for layout. If I could show him a NeXT with a 17" monitor (he uses a 14"!) with a good layout program, I may be able to get him to give me some funding (for a NeXTDim possibly!) I know FrameMaker is out there, but that's a little overkill, my dad really needs something more like PageMaker or so. Please reply to cjabido@npl.org since I don't know when this account will die.

You had it right. You just need to create an /etc/resolv.conf file from scratch. By default there isn't one since if you just use Netinfo and don't talk to the Internet then you don't need DNS. Once you've done this just fire up the nslookup command to test things out. You don't even need to reboot. If you need to set up a default route, I can give you tips on that score as well. -- Allan Noordvyk, Software Artisan e-mail: allan@ali.bc.ca ALI Technologies Voice: 604.279.5422 x 317 Richmond, Canada Fax: 604.279.5468 * NeXT and MIME mail welcome * "Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine."

There were some mythological things before 4Q 1988, such as a version 0.6 that was up and running (on a Sun 3, not a NeXT!) as a nostalgia thing at one of the last NeXT Expos. With the release of actual NeXT hardware, the earliest version was 0.8; around the end of 2Q 1989 came 0.9, and then at the end of that year 1.0 and 1.0a. (I forget what trivial thing was fixed in the latter of these. The improved Browser and many other good things came in 2.0, around winter 1990/91, and 2.1 was out by August 1991, when I got a warranty replacement from NeXT of a Maxtor hard drive that had gotten noisy---they loaded 2.1 for me free of charge, which is why I remember this. I believe there was a 2.2 as well, but it was a very minor upgrade, which had no advantages I can recall except for fixing some system call that caused Mathematica to get wrong answers on certain hyperbolic trig functions. > Also, were 1.x and 2.x distributed on OD or CD? All of these were delivered on oppies; 3.0 was the first CD-ROM release. > Does anyone recall what demos were bundled with 1.x and/or 2.x? Several of the demos have been replaced by newer versions, or upgraded to mainstream /NextApps. Others, like ScorePlayer and Ensemble, were offloaded to the MusicKit. I've been careful about saving the ones that just vanished, and believe I have a complete set. Here's the list: Old: Automata Gourmet.app Ray.app Balancer.app Icon.app RealTimeAlgebra BreakApp ImprovDemo.app Saturn.app CircuitBuilder.app Mandelbrot.app Scene CompressionLab MonsterScope ShowAndTell Crop.app New StatLab.app DataVizBridge PendulumLab.app Stealth.app Date Poker Synthesizer.app ForYourEyesOnly README_General.wn TopologyLab.app FractalTrees README_Sound&Music.wn Current (new or updated): 3View.app DDMViewer.app OpenSesame.app AppInspector.app Draw.app PhotoAlbum.app BackSpace.app FileMerge.app ProductFeedback.app Billiards.app Keyboard.app RenderManager.app BoinkOut.app Mandelbrot.app ScreenScape.app BugNeXT.app Mandelslow.app Sound.app CDPlayer.app Molecule.app TeXview.app Chess.app NeXTtv.app Zilla.app Gourmet is a front end for Mathematica, which assumes the old location for Mma in /NextApps instead of /LocalApps, and also some details about the file structure of Mma that ceased to be true after Mma 2.0, I think. You can still run it if you build the right links to spoof the presence of the old Mathematica; there used to be a blurb on the net explaining how. Icon.app is even more thoroughly dead; it's undocumented, was always subject to unexplained crashes, and is allegedly evil code, not worth repairing. Nonetheless, there is a bitwise patch that will enable you to go on using it if you have access to the NS 2.x shlibs on which it depends, and again build some links to put them where it wants them. If you do this, you get the _old_ color panel, since you're effectively running Icon under NS 2.x. It's fun, but any serious app like WetPaint or TIFFany blows it out of the water, so the only reason to keep it up and running is antiquarian interest. Ray.app is a ray-tracing thing that dies on launch under anything but NS 1.x; I've never tried to get it running again. There was a GuidedTour.app that was introduced with NS 2.0 that was really stunning: sit back and watch us use the Workspace and File Viewer, with voiceover and real-time mouse magic. It depended on the menus all being where it needed them when it clicked, so under NS 3.0 and up the demo got out of sync and failed; since it took up more than 6 MB (which was real disk space in those days) I deleted my copy. Other than those caveats, everything in the above list still works for me. By the way, I have 0.9, 1.0a, and 2.1 oppies here that are still intact, but my MO drive is dead and I haven't gotten around to installing the replacement I bought. When I do, if anyone is still interested, I'll post _exactly_ what is in /LocalDeveloper/Demos in each official version. > Thanks to all who answer.

You wrote: > Anyway, can anyone educate be about the NeXT really quickly? I > don't need extreme specifics, but I would like to know more about > the hardware and software. Better yet, can you tell me where to > go to get more info? NeXT first made a cube, back in 1988. Moto 68030 processor, floating point chip, integrated DSP chip with port for digitized sound and data applications, 8 MB RAM, 17 inch B&W monitor with unusual clarity at 94 dpi and a very high (72 Hz? 76 Hz?) scan rate. The monitor/keyboard/mouse get both power and data from the cube through a single nonstandard ten-foot coax, so there is only one power cord for the whole setup. The cube accepts four nonstandard 12" by 12" cards onto its backplane, mounted vertically two on each side. The motherboard itself occupies one of the four slots. In the middle, between slots 1,2 and slots 3,4, is space for the power supply and two full-height 5.25 inch SCSI devices. NeXT was among the first to support SCSI-II. The factory configuration had a highly nonstandard (but nifty) 256 MB magneto-optical drive in one of the two bays---it was initially thought that this would obviate the need for a hard drive entirely, but at 90 msec the MO disks proved intolerably slow to access for Unix virtual-memory swapping. (They are quite fast in steady throughput.) The MO drive was supported by a custom VLSI chip on the motherboard, guaranteeing that no one else will ever support it. The motherboard also had twelve separate DMA channels, giving memory-to-memory, memory-to-device, and memory-to-CPU throughput far beyond what you would expect from an '030 machine. The motherboard had a nonstandard printer port, a SCSI port, two serial ports with hardware flow control, a thin ethernet port, and the custom monitor interface. The printer was also highly nonstandard. It is a 400 dpi Canon engine, with 8-9 ppm throughput and a straight level paper path. Since the NeXT screen imaging model is Display PostScript, no PostScript engine is required in the printer. Thus, the printer has no memory, knows no fonts---it looks to the computer like a very slow, very high-res video device. All imaging is done in the computer itself, using the same PostScript fonts and code as for the screen display---true WYSIWYG. The computer then bit-blasts the raster image of the page to the printer out the custom port. The advantages of this arrangement include having a powerful CPU and lots of memory for imaging, as well as having your printer benefit from any CPU, memory, or future software upgrades. The disadvantage of having your CPU tied up while imaging is largely mitigated by the multitasking, virtual-memory OS. Sustained page throughput is almost 8 ppm, even when rather involved graphics are being imaged, and system performance seldom takes more than a 15% hit during printing. Mac and PeeCee users will find the printer performance startling. The NeXT cube can also output PostScript code to non-NeXT SCSI printers, and with a third-party software product can output rastered PostScript renderings to non-NeXT non-PostScript devices. In 1990 an accelerated motherboard, with an '040 running at 25 MHz, was introduced. The old motherboard can be left in a second slot to provide a dedicated print- or fax-server, with a six-inch thin ethernet cable linking the two machines---these are then two independent networked computers, sharing a single display and power supply. The new board also added a 10-BaseT port. At the same time, a design flaw was corrected, by reversing the fan to blow air _out_ of the MO drive rather than _into_ it. A dust-filter-and- retrofit kit was supplied free of charge, but dust accumulation made perhaps 10% of the MO disk drives unreliable, sealing their reputation. In 1991, NeXT introduced a low-priced NeXTstation, in a pizza-box configuration. This machine has a single half-height hard drive, a 2.88 MB floppy drive, a shortened custom monitor cable (3 feet), and the familiar screen. There is no room for internal expansion, and only 32 MB of 4 Mb 30-pin SIMMs will fit in the slab, as against 64 MB on the motherboard of the cube. At the same time, NeXT offered a 16-bit color slab, and a highly innovative 12" x 12" color board for the cube. This board, the NeXTdimension, used an i860 processor with five times the power of the motherboard's CPU, giving truly stunning performance in true 32-bit color. It came with 8 MB of its own, upgradeable to about 64 MB, and also incorporated a signal processor for realtime MPEG compression and decompression, a feature which was crippled by the signal processor chip failing to meet spec---NeXT considered a lawsuit. The RGB and NTSC/PAL input jacks on the NeXTdimension do work as designed, and it remains a powerful system for video capture and editing, if you have sufficient disk space to work without realtime compression. Both the NeXTdimension board and the NeXTstation color slab connect to a `soundbox' instead of the color monitor: the soundbox provides power to the keyboard and mouse, CD-quality sound output (incorporated in the display on the monochrome machines), and an RGB video signal for the monitor. With a soundbox doing the innovative part of the NeXT monitor's job, it is possible to use any third-party monitor capable of supporting NeXT's high resolution and scan rate. This saved NeXT from having to produce a nonstandard color monitor to go with their B&W one. The monitors they sold as original equipment include an early 17" Phillips that had problems, a 17" FIMI that quickly replaced it, a 21" Hitachi, and finally a very high-quality 17" Sony Trinitron, just before they left the hardware market. The cube was sold after 1991 with a 2.88 MB floppy in place of the MO drive, and NeXT stopped supporting the MO technology. The OS was distributed on CD-ROM, and they also sold an external SCSI CD-ROM; third-party CD-ROM drives will also work. Finally, in 1992, shortly before they stopped making hardware, they introduced Turbo versions of the cube, station, and color station, using faster memory, a 33 MHz '040 instead of 25 MHz, and some improvements to the custom DMA silicon, resulting in about a 50% speedup. At the same time, they introduced an ADB-compatible keyboard and mouse, but very few of these were ever sold. Other than the NeXTdimension, a very rare Ariel QuintProcessor board (5 DSP's and a lot of fast memory, for high-powered signal-processing applications), and motherboard upgrades, no boards for the cube's nonstandard 25 MHz NuBus-variant 12" x 12" slots were ever made. Street prices right now are around $1k for a working '030 cube with monitor, 8 MB, and a 340 MB hard drive, $1.5k for an '040 slab with 8/105, $2k for an '040 slab or cube with 24/400+, almost $3k for a working color slab, an extra kilobuck for Turbo anything, $500 for a NeXT printer, perhaps $200 for a CD-ROM drive or a working MO drive, and anywhere up to $2k for the rare NeXTdimension board that comes up, depending on memory configuration. You need 16 MB to run NeXTstep happily, and 24 MB if you have color, no matter what anyone may tell you to the contrary. As with all virtual-memory systems, memory shortages cause graceful failure---you'll never see an out-of-memory error, but swapping will exhaust finite human patience. The full OS distribution comes to about 210 MB fully installed if you are running the older 2.1 or 2.2 version; of the new color-friendly versions, 3.0 is slow, 3.1 is buggy, and 3.2 is magnificent, but requires about 290 MB. There are reduced OS distributions for small hard drives, and from 3.1 on the developer tools were unbundled and sold separately...but it's silly to try to get by with less than half a gig at current disk prices. The old black hardware is supported by Bell Atlantic through 1998. They have everything in stock, but their prices for out-of-warranty work are usually prohibitive. Several small vendors have taken up the slack, and their posts can often be seen on this forum. Most black hardware owners are _intensely_ fond of their machines, which are ergonomically superb and seem to achieve total system throughput comparable to Pentium machines with four and five times the theoretical speed. I expect that there will be loyalists to keep the hardware running into the next century, if you are so motivated. A plan to retrofit a 50 MHz Moto 68060 processor into the cubes is already in the works. PowerPC is unlikely, although since NeXT twice tried and failed to bring a Moto RISC workstation to market (the 88110 in 1991, and a rumored multiprocessor PowerPC in 1992), the hard work for the port has already been done. I hope this `folk history' is what you needed. If you have more specific questions after digesting it all, I'm sure other people will have more to say....

Release 2.2 was available on CD-ROM, but the format was not the convenient organization of the release 3.0 CD. And you really had to be persistent to get it. I think that by the time I got it, NS-3.0 was either shipping or pretty close to shipping. Note that I still have it, right here in my office, so I am sure it existed. 2.2a was a pretty minor update. As I remember it came on a floppy or two, and it only applied to certain machines. I *think* I got that too, but at the moment I can't find it. And if we're talking of *all* releases of NeXTSTEP, we should also list the "J" releases (such as "Release 3.0J"), which is the regular NeXTSTEP release plus all the japanese support. It was pretty hard to get ahold of this unless you were in Japan (although I did manage to get the 3.0J release on CD). > > Does anyone recall what demos were bundled with 1.x and/or 2.x? > > Several of the demos have been replaced by newer versions, or > upgraded to mainstream /NextApps.

There are two important advantages: 1. X-Image-URL works fine for people with a persistant connection to the internet. However, if you access the internet from home via PPP and a phone line, you most probably won't read your mail while being online. In this case, X-Image-URL doesn't work. 2. For X-Image-URL to work, *both sides* of the communication chain need to be equipped with it. The MailTIFF database, however, works with just the email address so it doesn't matter if the other side is equipped with the mechanism. This is important for mail from people who don't use Mail.app (or another mail program with this facility), but it's even more important for usenet, where you communicate with countless others, and *none* of them has an X-Image-URL newsreader right now (and won't have in the foreseeable future because as long as we have the internet structure of today, no home user will want to read masses of news online but rather from a local newsserver like PersonalINN).

I am a licensed user of Diagram!2. I intend to write a tiny app that would output data that I can subsequently manipulate with Diagram!2. I could look at sample *.diagram2 files and try to reverse engineer their format, but it would be much faster to read a published spec or document.

When I posted my original message I probably didn't give enough information on my setup. It was pretty late when I wrote it so you'll have to forgive me. Here is my situation: I have a HP 712/80i running NeXTSTEP 3.3 User. It is a new install, so there is no danger of a corrupt system from a previous install. I created a resolv.conf file after reading the docs just like I've done on dozens of other UN*X systems. But nslookup never seemed to read in the address of the namserver. The resolv.conf file looks like this: takeda:21# cat resolv.conf domain cyberstar.com server 10.1.5.2 server 192.168.254.4 Paul Sanchez had hinted at something regaring the end of line character, but I created this file in vi, so I am assuming they would be correct. With the the resolv.conf file in this format nslookup does the following: takeda:22# nslookup Default Server: takeda Address: 0.0.0.0 > rune Server: takeda Address: 0.0.0.0 res_mkquery(0, rune.cyberstar.com, 1, 1) recvfrom: Connection refused recvfrom: Connection refused *** takeda can't find rune: No response from server > rune.cyberstar.com Server: takeda Address: 0.0.0.0 res_mkquery(0, rune.cyberstar.com.cyberstar.com, 1, 1) recvfrom: Connection refused recvfrom: Connection refused *** takeda can't find rune.cyberstar.com: No response from server > takeda:23# I can change the server to the ip address of our server, and I can resove names within nslookup ( although it still prints out the "recvfrom: Connection refused" messages immediately after changing the ip address of the server). Stefan Ried had mentioned that NetInfo will preempt standard DNS, and that was what I was thinking was happening, since the nameserver never changes in nslookup. So I took Stefan Ried's advice and did a nidump and got this: takeda:23# nidump -r locations . name = locations; CHILDREN = { name = renderers; CHILDREN = { name = localhost; _writers = "*"; note = "Local Renderer"; }; }; There doesn't seem to be any entries for lookupd, even though it shows up in the process table. Would this info be somewhere else in 3.3? I also looked in NetInfo per Paul Sanchez's suggestion but it, ofcourse contains the same information. If I were to create file with the form of: name = locations; CHILDREN = ( ... , { name = lookupd; MaxThreads = 12; CHILDREN = ({ name = hosts; LookupOrder = (CacheAgent, DNSAgent, NIAgent); }, { name = users; LookupOrder = (CacheAgent, NIAgent); }, { name = groups; LookupOrder = (CacheAgent, NIAgent); }, { name = netgroups; LookupOrder = (CacheAgent, NIAgent); }); }); and then did a niload, would this force NetInfo to behave? I am stumped. What am I missing? I apologize for the length of this message, but I wanted to clarify my situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Kevin

If you want to buy a ready make PC with NeXTSTEP and you live in Europe or the UK you should check out ( http://www.plsys.co.uk/plsys.home.htmld/index.html ). If you live in the USA you can contact BIFROST Workstations (http://www.bifrostworks.com/) or Optimal Object ( sorry I can't remmember their site's address, but you can use Lycos or Yahoo to find it ). On the other hand if you want to buy original NeXT hardware you should look at Spherical Solutions ( http://www.orb.com/ ). However before you buy any hardware be sure to check the StepWise NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP Server where you can find a WWW introduction to NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP (just to get you more excited). As for your second question, no NeXTSTEP does not run on Macs, because if it did NeXT would be able to sell NeXTSTEP for Macinstosh which it didn't. Before I end can you please tell where I can find (buy) the NextWorld magazine, because I have been trying for some time find it unsuccessfully.

Yes you don´t have to be online to watch the Picture of somebody who wrote something to you in Mail.app or send news to the newsgroup you just read in Alexandra! 2. If you write somebody you have his e-mail address and his picture in the Mail.app Address-panel. For example John Kheit in summer appearance sitting in a hot place ;-) 3. Its all automatic! You don´t have to bother to get this pics. Everybody just install the programms and send his picture in format "peter@unity.westfalen.de.tiff" and his alias file and send it via NeXTMail to MailTIFFs@nexttoyou.de. And as maybe some body asks what this NEWS was here is the quote peter INTERNET: NEXTTOYOU announces global MailTIFFs database by Uli Zappe, Digital Fix Development NEXTTOYOU announces global MailTIFFs database NEXTTOYOU is pleased to announce a global MailTIFFs database for the NEXTSTEP community for use with internet email and the usenet. It allows you to automatically administrate MailTIFFs from internet users and get their pictures displayed in Mail.app as well as newsreaders prepared for this mechanism. The NEXTTOYOU MailTIFFs database consists of a set of programs to be installed on your computer and a global MailTIFFs server provided by NEXTTOYOU. NeXT's own MailTIFF mechanism apparently was aimed at the intranet only. Contrary to other trials to enhance NEXTSTEP's functionality in this respect, the NEXTTOYOU MailTIFFs database is a fully automatic solution that everybody should be able to use. Once you've installed the programs and submitted your own MailTIFF to the NEXTTOYOU MailTIFFs server, you won't have to care for anything and will always have an up-to-date MailTIFFs database on your computer. NEXTTOYOU strongly encourages everybody in the NEXTSTEP community to participate in its initiative to make the internet a bit less anonymous. - Whoever is principally willing to publish a MailTIFF of her/himself should send it to the NEXTTOYOU MailTIFFs server (see details below). - Programmers of newsreaders who are willing to make their products compatible are encouraged to do so. Please mail any questions regarding this matter to uli@nexttoyou.de. The programs you need to install are mailDBupdate.in, fetchMailTIFFs and convertMailTIFFs. You can find these programs at ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/NeXT/misc/NEXTTOYOU/97.1-Fruehjahr/ MailTIFF.database/MailTIFF.database.1.0.1.b.NIHS.tar.gz * mailDBupdate.in is a replacement for NeXT's mailDBupdate for computers which are connected to the internet. mailDBupdate can't handle internet users correctly. mailDBupdate.in automatically * registers MailTIFFs from internet users * registers aliases for these internet users * provides full-internet-address aliases for local users * imports MailTIFFs retrieved by EnhanceMail (V>=2.0beta7) * deletes outdated MailTIFFs * fetchMailTIFFs automatically updates your local MailTIFFs database with MailTIFFs newly arrived at the global NEXTTOYOU MailTIFFs server. * convertMailTIFFs converts the names of MailTIFFs you may have already stored to the correct format. In addition to MailTIFF.database.1.0.b.NIHS.tar.gz, if * you use NEXTSTEP <3.3 and you don't already have installed the Z shell zsh, you'll need zsh.3.0.2.NIHS.bs.tar.gz * you want to use the MailTIFFs mechanism also for usenet but your current newsreader does not already support the NEXTTOYOU MailTIFFs database format, you'll need either the compiled Alexandra.0.82.mod.NIHS.b.tar.gz or, if you want to recompile Alexandra yourself, Alexandra.TiffPatch.s.tar.gz. You will find these programs in the same MailTIFF.database subdirectory from above. To submit your own MailTIFF to the NEXTTOYOU MailTIFFs server, just name it user@address.tiff (where user@address is your email address) and send it via NeXTMail to MailTIFFs@nexttoyou.de. If you write from more than one email address, you should also include a so-called aliases file which lists your alternative email addresses. For more information, see the instructions that are included in the MailTIFF.database package. NEXTTOYOU is a German NEXTSTEP magazine published by WiNG (Wiesbaden NEXTSTEP Group) to provide the NEXTSTEP community with a platform both for neophytes and professionals.

This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

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.

From: andrew_abernathy@omnigroup.com Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: OmniCD 0.6.1: now supports recording on Intel Date: 20 Apr 1997 10:37:06 GMT Organization: Omni Development, Inc. Message-ID: <5jcrki$5pa$1@gaea.omnigroup.com> OmniCD 0.6.1 has been released. The major difference between this version and 0.6, and the reason a new version is being released, is that recording CD digital audio over the SCSI bus is now supported on Intel boxes. (Hopefully SPARC and PA-RISC as well, but that's untested.) Thanks go to Tomas Hurka for finding my error. (Recording from a Plextor 8Plex is nice and speedy...) For more info or to download, see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCD/ (You can download directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniCD.0.6.1.NIHS.b.tar.gz) Please report bugs or send requests to omnicd@omnigroup.com. --- OmniCD is a NeXTstep application for controlling the audio functions of SCSI CDROM drives. It has some non-perfect support for ATAPI devices, but they aren't supported, and volume control will not work; neither will CD digital audio recording. (Feel free to file bug reports, however.) OmniCD serves as a replacement for NeXT's CDPlayer application. The primary reasons for using this application rather than CDPlayer are that it can be controlled via the app icon, and with certain cdrom drives it can record the audio directly over the SCSI bus and into a sound file. Please note: OmniCD requires the Foundation Kit (see the installation instructions below). OmniCD is free, but is currently in early (so to speak) beta form. Omni is not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of using this software. This application does have fairly low level access to the hardware, and it's conceivable that it could cause system crashes with certain hardware combinations, especially when recording. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and bear with the incomplete nature of this application. However, please do report bugs, feature requests and general comments, especially to note non-working hardware combinations, and to note which bugs/features/etc are most important to you. Changes for version 0.6.1: * Recording is now supported on Intel from CDROM drives which use 12-byte reads, currently Sony/Matshita/Apple and Plextor. May also work on SPARC and HPPA, but that's untested. (Thanks to Tomas Hurka.) * Control icon has minor tweaks to give it a bit of depth. (Thanks to Rene Berber.) * deviceInfo.dict file format improved somewhat. You can now specify specific models and firmware revisions. See the file for more info and examples. * Disabled CDDA transfers for Sony CDU-541 (the NeXT CDROM drive), Sony CDW-900E, and Toshiba XM-4101TA. These are reported to not support CDDA transfers. (Sorry, fast-forward/fast-reverse are still unavailable.) -- andrew_abernathy@omnigroup.com - NeXTmail & MIME ok

Message-ID: <ukv67xhptjv.fsf@dura.spc.uchicago.edu> Sender: fugue@dura.spc.uchicago.edu Organization: University of Chicago -- Academic Computing Services Date: Sun, 20 Apr 1997 16:07:00 GMT Is there any program that could be run, e.g., from a shell, that would simply display a TIFF image? What I'm imagining is something like: killzone:12# showtiff /test.tiff ...and about a second later the greyscale TIFF is displayed in my workspace somewhere, and I have a new shell prompt. In short, I want a command-line slide-show program, I believe, but not really, because I just want to show the same image over and over again, but not have one window for each image, but instead one window for all images. (If you're curious, I've got a QuickCam hooked up to a Mac in another room, and it's taking pictures every 10 seconds and saving them as TIFFs. The volume is aps-mounted via CAP to my 3.2 mono black slab. I want to run a cron job that'll cexecute a script that checks to make sure that directory is mounted, and if so, display the latest image the QC's grabbed.) Thanks much!

It will show you a smaller version of the image. Hitting Command+Shift+u (i.e. Command+U) should update the image. In addition, the content of the image 'should' get updated automatically after the same time as all the viewers in the Workspace. But I am not quite sure about that (one problem would be if the image file was very large - the you'd have to recomfirm that you really wanna preview it). Just thought that this could be a good start before you find exactly what you need. Good luck. Rudy blazek@stt.msu.edu

Try ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/NeXT/ There are two chess apps in that directory along with a checkers app and a chinese checkers app. One of the chess apps is NeXTICS which is an interface to the Internet Chess Server. Once connected to the server, you can play against other human oppenents who are connected, or play against some of the computer programs that are logged on. The other chess app is NeXTchess which is GNUchess with a NeXT interface. These worked with NS 3.2, I don't know if they are compatible with NS 3.0. --gh

Deadline is May 1. Don't spoil your chance to win a free HelpViewer 1.3 or LatinByrd II license! Here's TWO MORE HINTS: 1) Q#1 reads "What's wrong this time"? Well, frankly, there's nothing really "wrong" with the picture. It's a still life - consisting of nothing but dead stone, dead sand, trees, and the sky. But in fact, there's something present which somehow doesn't fit. Note: SSS officially apologies for the sillyness of this photo. ;-) Just a picture shot in holiday mood... 2) Q#2 reads "At which ancient greek site has this photo been shot"? And a further hint contained in the web page says that this ancient site would be in the sports news every 4th summer. C'mon... that's an easy one! Note that it's not required to name the exact location of the temple (or whatever it might be) depicted in the image - the name of the ancient site/town will suffice. And BTW it's *NOT* the place where the ancient Greek Gods live! (Although the name is similar.) Have fun, - Stefan -- Stefan Schneider Software Dipl.Ing.

The currently problem is that the Image URL stuff is limited to direct access.

If a fetch fails (becasue of no PPP) 2. .. or if you don't want to have your PPP connection actived just ot fetch an image the image fetch could simple add the current URL to a "YetToBeFetched" file.

Yes..there are many Mailers where you just can't add custom Headers so that e.g. Mac users really can't post an X-Image-URL..even if they wanted.

In case this is intended to be the more educated question on how to disable certain unwanted network options, there are some hints in the online Sysadmin Manual on the more NEXTSTEP specific things. And you'll find the basic network setup being done in the '/etc/rc'-files (most likely your feature is started in /etc/rc.net). In addition, less frequently used network services are provided through the 'inetd' deamon (the standard BSD way).

I totally agree. However, it would also be nice if there was an option to do this via an http or ftp proxy. I live behind a firewall and all fetches fail.

And I did the other bit of the work - if you want a CLI App that runs on Intel (and will play to a Black NeXT to get sound out) then it works fine. Other than that I recommend the new MMP.app which does it all a lot better anyway. The maplay code is old now - and the NeXT port was a bit of a hack in the first place.

I haven't been able to find answers to my questions from the omnigroup homepages (OmniWeb 1.0 can't read their FAQ!) so I figured I'd seek out some help from you kind folks. Basically: I downloaded the file "OmniWeb.2.5b6.N.tar", untarred it and it created OmniWeb.app. The icon seems to be updated (with the funky O_2 in the corner) but when I try to launch it, my Console gives me: > Apr 23 13:20:43 Workspace: Cannot exec > /LocalApps/OmniWeb.app/OmniWeb : Bad executable (or shared library) The application does not run, no menus appear or anything... So...question #1: Will OmniWeb2.5b6 run under NS3.2? #2: Am I doing something *really* stupid? (likely :-) #3: How can I get this to work? Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks in advance, Brad Gover

Holger literally takes the words out of my mouth. I was once thinking about reverse engineering the Real Audio format but, due to potential patent infringement and the enormous amount of work (RA is not only one format but serveral), I decided not to do so and not to support RA. IMHO such a closed format is a bad thing anyway and MPEG I L3 with lower bit rates makes for a very good sound even over modem lines, so let's hope either Progressive Networks, Inc. someday makes the RA format open or MPEG takes over the online world. -- * Frank M.

Here's the info you're looking for. I found it on another newsgroup. Apple's strategy for the future seems solid. They have superior hardware, the PowerMac, which just this week hit 300 MHz-- a clear win for the PowerPC Platform over the competition. To run this great hardware, they have a superior OS on the way -- Rhapsody, which will bring new meaning to the word modern and its associated buzzwords, and give some already impressive hardware a large performance boost. What Apple does not seem to have, however, is the crucial third piece of the computer puzzle-- applications. In order to make their new strategy compelling to the average consumer, Apple needs the support of developers to make office tools, games, and other applications that take advantage of this great hardware and OS. Without this support, and a large measure of it, Apple will go nowhere. Enter the Developer1s Coalition, a well-researched, hard-thought answer to this problem, and one that should put all support for Be and other alternatives out of the picture for good. Picture: * A new organization in which the various, usually competing, Mac hardware vendors *all* come together to encourage and fund development for the Mac OS-- a group composed of not just the AIM triad (Apple, IBM, Motorola), but also the 12 or so cloners, both large and small. * The stability and harmony such a group will bring the platform with its 3we1re all in the same boat2 message. * The reaction of developers to an organization with this breadth and resource level. * This same forum taking on many of the other platform-wide duties, such as evangelism and advertising-- like that PowerPC commercial everyone is longing for... * The tremendous boost in public confidence that will result from this move. Sound good? Then I need your help. The above organization exists only on paper. However, a group of enterprising people have hatched a plan to publicize the idea, hoping to create two reactions: one, let the press and developers know that there is a huge cadre of 3average Joe2 Mac users out there eager to see more programs developed for the Mac; and two, to get the different hardware vendors to either form such a group, or start contributing to an Apple-led effort to provide these benefits. This plan entails a massive e-mail campaign targeting all the Mac hardware vendors with cc's to all the Mac software developers. Address lists for these will be posted on the eve of the campaign. Following is the form letter. Pleae help us out by sending it to the provided mailing lists on or between the dates of *Sunday, April 20th* and *Saturday, April 27*. Thank you. * DC Home: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/2633/dc.html * Complete Mac http://www.dol.net/~Ragosta/dev.htm * MacMarines http://www.macmarines.com/dcnews/dcnews.html

It is a frontend to the freeware MPEG I audio decoder 'mpg123' by Michael Hipp et al.

Well, but the price tag totally ruins it. :-( $230 for a unix utility is certainly beyond any reasonable reach of an individual wanting to listen to sound files from the internet. What makes me really angry is the fact that they call their distribution "shareware" while it is practically unusable (< 20s playing time) if not paid for. This is *commercial* software, nothing else. > Maybe they should consider to make a 'private use only' > distribution with a 49 $ price tag. They definitely should, and even $49 is quite high...

I'm wondering what's wrong with my system.. I've been using MMP.app, and the MPEG-3's are totally unplayable in stereo on my Pentium 120. Even with stereo turned off, I still have to filter out most of the treble to get rid of the static. (Actually, even MODs are static-y.) My Linux friends don't seem to have this problem (I don't know what player they're using). Is there something wrong with my system, or NEXTSTEP, or what? MMP.app is really nice, though. Kind of unresponsive to commands while playing, but considering the CPU resources required, unsurprising.. wouldn't want it spending too much time waiting for events when it should be playing.

The busy light will flash briefly but then it will stop, and the print job just sits in the queue forever, and no errors are ever reported. Next I tried serial, but even less happens there. The busy light never even flashes. The 715 has only one serial port, but I have tried to print with both serial A & B selected in PrinterManager. Again, the jobs sits forever in the queue.

Message-ID: <chaney-2504972129420001@cust54.max5.kansas-city2.mo.ms.uu.net> Apple's strategy for the future seems solid. They have superior hardware, the PowerMac, which just this week hit 300 MHz-- a clear win for the PowerPC Platform over the competition. To run this great hardware, they have a superior OS on the way -- Rhapsody, which will bring new meaning to the word modern and its associated buzzwords, and give some already impressive hardware a large performance boost. What Apple does not seem to have, however, is the crucial third piece of the computer puzzle-- applications. In order to make their new strategy compelling to the average consumer, Apple needs the support of developers to make office tools, games, and other applications that take advantage of this great hardware and OS. Without this support, and a large measure of it, Apple will go nowhere. Enter the Developer1s Coalition, a well-researched, hard-thought answer to this problem, and one that should put all support for Be and other alternatives out of the picture for good. Picture: * A new organization in which the various, usually competing, Mac hardware vendors *all* come together to encourage and fund development for the Mac OS-- a group composed of not just the AIM triad (Apple, IBM, Motorola), but also the 12 or so cloners, both large and small. * The stability and harmony such a group will bring the platform with its 3we1re all in the same boat2 message. * The reaction of developers to an organization with this breadth and resource level. * This same forum taking on many of the other platform-wide duties, such as evangelism and advertising-- like that PowerPC commercial everyone is longing for... * The tremendous boost in public confidence that will result from this move. Sound good? Then I need your help. The above organization exists only on paper. However, a group of enterprising people have hatched a plan to publicize the idea, hoping to create two reactions: one, let the press and developers know that there is a huge cadre of 3average Joe2 Mac users out there eager to see more programs developed for the Mac; and two, to get the different hardware vendors to either form such a group, or start contributing to an Apple-led effort to provide these benefits. This plan entails a massive e-mail campaign targeting all the Mac hardware vendors with cc's to all the Mac software developers. Address lists for these will be posted on the eve of the campaign. Following is the form letter. Pleae help us out by sending it to the provided mailing lists on or between the dates of *Sunday, April 20th* and *Saturday, April 27*.

It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.)

Don't be scared of that beta designation; the application is highly stable. (I've only crashed these beta versions once or twice in the many months I've used 'em.) Check out the OmniGroup web site "http://www.omnigroup.com" to get the newest version. OmniGroup also has free PDF and image viewer applications, amongst other things. As for other web browsers, the only other one I can think of is NetSurfer (see "http://www.netsurfer.com"). The advantage of NetSurfer over OmniWeb is that it supports animated gifs and has a cooler bookmark system. It's disadvantages are that you have to pay for it plus it occassionally formats html documents poorly. -- -===================================================================- Jean-Paul Samson -==- jsamson@istar.ca -==- NeXTmail welcome, no MIME -===================================================================-

It's not "mine", but some bloke who took the original UNIX QuickCam driver and rewrote it in a hardware-independent manner. Now all *I* have to do is find out how to get it working on a slab. Yes, it'll work via serial (unless what I've heard is true about the rate at which it transfers from the camera, in which case I'll stop, because the slab's serial port can't do 230Kbps. :)

Maybe they should consider to make a > 'private use only' distribution with a 49 $ price tag. The price tag was a lot lower as I volunteered to donate a small NeXT frontend to their codecs. It was around 20 DM ($10) for recording...playback for free. Maybe they decided that they no longer want to support this codec...or only offer it to professional broadcasting companies or what ever...but the final release suddenly came with the horrible "shareware??" fee of 400 DM.

Unfortunately, that's only half the rent: the description for the decoding of the audio codec is ** still ** proprietary. In other words, you could write a RAdioStation.app that vends all sorts of interesting things over the net with the help of the 'standard' RTSP protocol, and have a RAdio.app that knows how to retrieve these files from the network stream. However, writing a client that understands the widely available audio .ram files is next to impossible until someone hits RealAudio over the head really hard and they release the spec for the f**** audio codec. The solution is to ignore RealAudio until it becomes a *really* open standard. Holger

Often it will not really "just work" because in this case Omniweb allocates huge amounts of memory which finally will result in a lot of swapping or even system crash. It is better to use the command-click option when downloading files, in my opinion this had better be the standard behaviour.

Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Message-ID: <862177779.26781@dejanews.com> Organization: Deja News Usenet Posting Service Virtuoso 2.0 stopped launching. The inspector panel, color panel and tools palette come up, but that's as far as it goes. It worked fine for a year and a half. I tried copying a new copy from the GS Corp CD, but I get the same thing. I can launch the demo copy from the CD but it won't let me save, so it doesn't help. I'm running OpenStep 4.0 on a black non-turbo slab. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate it.

It was complaining about _inet_aton being defined multiple times so I put -m in the ldflags to get it to use the symbol defined in libresolv.a within the bind source tree. Apparently, NeXT's cc doesn't understand -m as a linker option. I commented out the cc line in the named makefile and replaced it with a call to ld but then I had a number of undefined symbols. ld should look in the standard lib and include directories, no? I'm including all of the object files and libraries that the cc line had... I'd be happy to get any insight from people who have gotten this package to build. Thanks in advance. -steve

I running into problems There is a BIND-4.9.5 installer package which I created in directory: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/next/Internet Note, that this is a binary-only package and it only replaces named, nslookup and such, it does not install a new libresolv.a or header files. The new named and nslookup do use the BIND 4.9.5 libresolv.a (if I recall correctly). The reason is as follows: NeXT's resolver functions (gethostbyname() and such) are Netinfo-aware, but they still keep the BIND names. Which means that installing (and using) a libresolv.a from BIND would make Netinfo unavailable for programs linked with libresolv.a. NeXT's BIND installation is special, they have renamed all functions to something like _res_gethostbyname(), and the Netinfo-aware functions (like gethostbyname()) call these functions. If I had enough time, I would probably create a way to make a NeXT MachOS compatible libresolv.a that would give you a way to upgrade to BIND 4.9.5 seamlessly. But I do not know what all the naming conventions for NeXT's adaptation of BIND are, so thus far I have kept that project on hold. If someone can give me a reliable mapping between BIND names (like gethostbyname()) and NeXT names for BIND functions (like _res_gethostbyname()), I'll create a complete installer package, also for Developer installations. And don't forget, NeXT's istallation is multiple-architecture (with several endiannesses), so it is quite a bit of work to get the stuff transparantly working. If I only had the time to do it, I would. So far, let's keep it at named and nslookup, that at least gives you the extra security of running BIND 4.9.5. -- Gerben Wierda, Stafmedewerker Adviesraad voor het Wetenschaps- en Technologiebeleid.

I do this out of a fear of being deluged with questions and in deference to the authors of the free NS ppp port who prefer that Q&A be posted to the ppp mailing list. As Timothy Luoma points out in his post you need to link or place ip-up and ip-down to be in your /etc directory. At the appropriate time pppd will call them if they exist. See man pppd for further details. As for the encryption of passwords you have a valid point. This and other issues regarding tighter integration with and configuration of ppp are possibilities. For the moment if you just want to keep your password from showing up in log files etc... try placing a \q in front of your actual password.

TypeView allows you to quickly view the entire character set of a particular font, locate an unusual character and copy and paste into your document, and allow you to see paragraphs of text in many type families, styles and sizes. All of TypeView's features allow you to quickly analyze text and access characters in your font file. TypeView works within the NeXT services framework and can be launched by opening font files. It lets you spend more time being creative, imaginative, and more resourceful. If you are an expert graphic designer, TypeView can expose the subtleties of typefaces-details that are often hidden by the computer. Even if you have only a limited knowledge of typefaces, TypeView can greatly improve your access and control of typefaces and type attributes. (Yes, all the above came right off the package.) System Requirements: You need to have a NeXT Computer. Other than that I don't know. Sorry. What's in the package? What's in the package?
