[Snip] I had a brief e-mail exchange with them about this several months ago - I was encouraging them to port the apps and they said they were considering it, but were waiting to see if there was "customer demand". If you are a customer of Lighthouse's who wants to see any of your favorite apps on Rhapsody (mine are Diagram & Concurrence), drop them a friendly note! info@lighthouse.com Remove .nospam to reply to me. -- Michael Giddings giddings.nospam@chem.wisc.edu giddings.nospam@barbarian.com (608)258-1699 or (608) 692-2851 http://smithlab.chem.wisc.edu/PersonalPages/giddings/giddings.html http://www.barbarian.com

I checked my Serial Ports in Configure and those were fine. I tried other serial port /dev/cufa and recieved the same problem. Everything was fine the day before I upgraded and I can dial out fine from my Win 95 side of the same machine. Does anyone have any ideas???

Message-ID: <5kd7v4$c77@uuneo.neosoft.com> Hello folks ... I've started dabbling with music, and DSP synthesis on my NeXTstation ... I've tried out some of the sequencer programs ... one particular piece of software, Pinnacle Research's Presto/Sequencer program caught my eye. After trying it out, I've decided that I want to buy a license for it.. However, it seems that Pinnacle Research is defunct? A whois for the email address they have in the program shows an entirely different corporation. If Pinnacle Research is defunct, then how would I find the commercial version of their program? Or a license key? I'd love to be able to save the music pieces that I compose on my NeXT. On another note, does anyone have reccomendations for commercial sequencer software for the NeXT? I'd like it to be able to use the DSP synth, if at all. Thanks, Wes Brown wbrown@starbase.neosoft.com

From: Peter Sung <fantasia@hula.net> Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: All you need is to invest $5 for a FORTUNE!!! ACT NOW!!! Date: Sat, 03 May 1997 04:06:59 -0700 Organization: Hula Net, Inc. Hawaii's Newest Internet Provider Message-ID: <336B1C53.2BE8@hula.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; name="income.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="income.txt" A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam," but like most of us I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 5 stamps and $5.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with my country Post Office, and others had with US Post (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $5.00............. Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in ....... It's certainly worth $5.00, and 5 stamps, I spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, Why it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps: STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 5 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL! Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses: #1 B.C. Smith P.O. Box 170 Greenland, AR 72703 #2 Beddingfield, Bobby 12404 Nokesville Road P.O. Box 40 Nokesville, Va 22123 #3 Keen, Callye 44181 Bristow Circle Ashburn, VA 20147 #4 Tom, BDB. Via Damiano Chiesa 10 00010 Marcellina (Roma) Italy #5 H. J. Sung 1839 Keeaumoku St. Honolulu, HI 96822-3004 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 5 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 25,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following: FOR NETSCAPE USERS: 1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a message box. 2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used, something to catch the eye!!! 3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember to add your name to number 5 and move the rest up) 4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :-) 5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner) 6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the 'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click once on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'. If you did this right, you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be shaded. NOW POST AWAY! FOR INTERNET EXPLORER: It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to. Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!! THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** **If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte’s "Free Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able to find it.** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you con invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** --- Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #3 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make: at #5 $15.00 at #4 $225.00 at #3 $3,375.00 at #2 $50,625.00 at #1 $759,375.00 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 5 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $5.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing anything but our time!!! Don't listen to the people that don't trust it and continue to say it's illegal and don't work... They are just too much skeptics. You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...

Date: Mon, 13 May 96 12:39:13 -0700 Originator: mkdist@ccrma.stanford.edu Sender: mkdist@ccrma.Stanford.EDU From: To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: New version of Sequence I have posted an updated version of Sequence. This fixes several bugs, including several crashers, problems with Transforms, bad behavior when running on Intel machines with no MIDI/DSP cards, etc. If you are using Sequence, you should pick up a copy of the new version. Also, see the Help for info about posting bugs (there's a URL to do it now). The file is: ftp://ftp-ccrma.stanford.edu/pub/NeXT/Sequence.9.8.3.tar.Z David Jaffe daj@ccrma.stanford.edu Sequence is a MIDI sequencer and DSP synthesis application available for the NeXT computer. Paired with a MIDI interface, Sequence allows NeXT users to record and play music using MIDI compatible keyboards and sound generators. When MIDI equipment is not available, users can compose and play music using the NeXT's built-in DSP to generate CD quality sound output. Sequence provides a library of DSP "voicings" including: piano, electric bass, strings, voice, woodwinds, and percussion instruments, which can be modified to create custom sounds. Sequence's graphical interface takes full advantage of the NeXTstep environment. Drag-and-drop measure editing allows the user to move, copy, insert, merge or replace groups of measures. Note and MIDI controller editing can be performed either graphically or with the event-list editor. Transforms such as Quantize, Transpose, Velocity Adjust and Time Shift are provided, including a randomize option which can be used to "humanize" sequenced passages. Sequence's multi-document support allows you to simultaneously edit multiple files and transfer data between them. Sequence reads and writes standard MIDI files as well as NeXT Score and Playscore file formats. Sequence also transmits MIDI Real-Time clock, enabling you to synchronize external devices such as drum-machines and hardware sequencers to Sequence's playback. -- Rick Sanford Dental Records(R) dental@precipice.com NeXTMAIL welcome http://www.precipice.com/~dental/ We're moving!

Ha! That's amusing. Open Transport 1.5 is supposed to be immune to the Ping 'o Death. But it was canceled. I know for certain that, at least some NeXTStep/hardware combinations are vulnerable*. So Rhapsody could even be a step backwards. Jacques Distler *Not necessarily a crash. I know at least one system will simply disconnect itself from the network.

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.

GNUstep WILL :) Also see http://www.openstepnews.com ---------- OPENSTEP NewsFlash 1. DISPLAY GHOSTSCRIPT ON GNUSTEP 2. ANALYSIS 3. NEXTSTEP / JAVA GURU SOUGHT 4. SUBSCRIPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE 1. DISPLAY GHOSTSCRIPT ON GNUSTEP The GNUstep project has contracted with L. Peter Deutsch, the author of Ghostscript, to enhance Ghostscript by adding the full set of Display PostScript operators, the alpha channel and compositing facilities of NeXT's Display PostScript system, basic multi-threading capabilities, and other relevant improvements. This will complete the work that the GNUstep project has already started, and allow "Display Ghostscript" to serve as a plug-compatible replacement for NeXT's Display PostScript system in the context of GNUstep. The enhancements, like the rest of Ghostscript, will be owned by Aladdin Enterprises (Deutsch's consulting business). They will be included in all future versions of Aladdin Ghostscript under the Aladdin Free Public License (a license very similar to the GNU License, with some added restrictions on for-profit distribution). Aladdin Ghostscript versions are re-released under the GNU License as GNU Ghostscript versions approximately 18 months after the Aladdin release. However, in order to avoid delaying the GNUstep project, Deutsch has agreed to release the Display Ghostscript enhancements under the GNU License immediately, on a one-time basis. This does not include the work of retrofitting them to the current GNU Ghostscript, which presumably will be done by GNUstep project members. Aladdin's work on Display Ghostscript has already started, and is scheduled to be completed in September 1997, with several identified milestones before then. www.gnustep.org www.net-community.com 2. ANALYSIS This announcement is representative of the rapid growth of the GNUStep project. Web Browsers and JAVA make this the age of diversity in operating systems, and development environments. We are witnessing the diversity brought about by the internet. 3. NEXTSTEP / JAVA GURU SOUGHT This client is willing to pay any price for the best NeXTStep / JAVA Consultant. They want someone with many many years of NeXTStep design experience, and enough JAVA experience to know how to use the tools, and understand the class libraries. The client is a famous person in the Objective-C community, and I respect him hugely. I have had many resumes come through here, but I have not seen any that meet the client's requirements. That means that the client needs to pay more to find what they are looking for. The position is in the San Francisco Bay Area, initially for about 110 days. 4.

It works OK once you fiddle with it until your hair falls out (jumpers, DMA, burst-mode transfers, etc. -- all have to do with the particular drive/accelerator card I'm using, though You *can* use it without the accelerator, but I'm GONNA make this thing work.). It has a catalog, though it 1) Does not maintain separate ".arch" files like SafetyNet 2) Does not allow one to rebuild a ".arch" file like SafetyNet 3) Will allow you to search for a file in the catalog, unlike SafetyNet It is nowhere as fast as SafetyNet on a SCSI DAT drive, but then again my drive (Exabyte Eagle 96) was $119 and the Software came with it. trey mcclendon

In the ongoing quest for the better I'd like to ask those of you running the CAPer program (Appletalk connectivity package using CAP) for feedback. In particular I am interested in problems you might have encountered during installation and use of the current version V6 but success stories are sought too. The main reason behind this is to find incompatibilities since some Appletalk implementations (Novell and NT comes to mind but the various Apple variants count in too) sometimes differ in details and it is impossible for me here to test most every setup.

Even though the cable modems commonly provide 10BaseT/ethernet interfaces, they are nominally limited to supporting just one machine in your home through that single IP address. A couple of my friends are putting together a PC-Linux based thing that will act as a smart router or gateway, allowing roommates to share the cost of a cable modem service while supporting as many machines as they care to connect within the home; basically multiplexing their traffic through a single IP address to the modem. I'm wondering if any such router/gateway services exist under NextStep, either built in to the OS or as something which can be installed on it. I have a NextStation running 3.3 User.

To convert TIFF to compressed TIFF or JPEG you could use CompressOmatic.app which works ok on a grayscale machine (colors are kept when doing TIFF -> JPEG). To produce GIFs there is GifOmatic from the same people (IPC). I didn't check but I suppose it to work on a b/w machine ok too.

Thanks, DK One alternative is to run a Hewlett-Packard Jet Direct box out of the ethernet port. It isn't the cheapest solution, but depending which model you get (1 or 3 outputs) you can run any parallel port output printer at network transfer speeds, and any machine (if you are on a local network) can access the printer(s). GS Corp had an excellent Epson driver for the 500, and that should drive the 800 as well. The downside there is that they are no longer selling license keys for their most excellent product any longer, as far as I know. Jet Pilot is still current but I've never used it, but it will work in conjunction with the Jet Direct box. BTW, a single port box is $225 or so street price, and the EX model is about $375. Lotsa luck Gregor

First of all, it is wise to install gnumake for compiling all gnu software. make-3.7.5.tar.gz on all gnu sites. I normally change the name of the installed make program from /usr/local/bin/make to /usr/local/bin/gnumake, so that I can still use the platform supplied make. Typical gnu installation goes (according to the INSTALL files) by *running* the command configure: > ./configure then making the package: > make or > gnumake and finally installing the package (as root).

Side note: GNU make 3.75 out of the box has a bug that will cause it to dump core on NeXT systems. If you run it under gdb and do a backtrace (bt) you'll quickly see where the problem is; as I recall it's something like glob.c, and you need to change an if (*ptr == ' ') to if(ptr) if(*ptr == ' ') or something like that.

The first problem is my WorkSpace browser and console window just disappear. Double-clicking the Next cube in the icon dock does not bring them back. this occurs randomly. The other problem is nameserver calls will cease to work although the tcp stack is still opertional. For example, 'rlogin hostname' returns "bus error". but telnet xx.xx.xx.xx works. nslookup works. This also occurs randomly and there are no messages in the /tmp/console.log file or in /usr/adm/messages. this is also affecting the delivery of e-mail. rebooting fixes both until they appear again. neither appears to be tied to the other. the workspace problem happens less than the nameserver problem. Has anyone else seen this? None of this was occuring before the upgrade. Thanks, Brendan

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? Everything -- it's brand new and never been opened! -------------------------------------------------------- If interested, go to the urls's at th4e top of this message ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BeOS DR9 is shipping with a high-performance 64-bit journaling filesystem (according to their Web page, anyway). OpenStep is poking along with FFS and a 2GB limit; MacOS is is hobbled by HFS. To be taken seriously as a server OS, Rhapsody needs something better than it has. I know most of the clients I work with wouldn't even consider Rhapsody as it stands now -- they complain enough about the 16GB limit for MS Exchange databases (which will soon be 16 terabytes anyway...) I definitely suggest that Apple consider licensing the BeFS, assuming it lives up to its billing (and Be is willing to do such a thing...). Especially since a lot of people will probably be running BeOS and Rhapsody on the same box -- I know I will. At the very least license SGI's XFS -- or implement something better. Just don't accept anything less than the competition has. NTFS is a pretty good filesystem -- Rhapsody needs something comparable or (preferably) better. Journaling, 64-bit, guaranteed bandwidth (ala XFS), ACLs, filesystem compression (ala NTFS), etc. Does anyone disagree? -Dayne Miller daynem@excell.com -- ###

Installing PPP went fairly well, but there were, of course, a few glitches: * GateKeeper connects properly, but doesn't reflect that in its status window. It seems to get stuck on "Entering Password". The online clock never starts (well, it did once, but I'm not sure why). Everything seems to work fine, but GateKeeper seems to be in limbo. * PopOver works, but won't let me delete mail (with the "delete" button). The mail grays for a moment then turns black again. But I have successfully sent and received mail with both of my pop accounts. By the way, I had my modem cable custom-fabricated by Advanced Cable Systems, in Bellevue, WA (425-556-1721) for $18, cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. Any input appreciated ... does this post seem to have the right headers etc? Thanks in advance. Please e-mail too.

Message-ID: <5l19n2$sck$4727@nntp0.cleveland.oh.ameritech.net> E-Mail Your Way To Riches! Dear Friend, We all know E-mail is here to stay. It's fun, easy and exciting! Would you be interested if we could show you a way to make well over $1,000 per week doing it? This is not a joke. You may have seen many people trying to tell you that you can make money by joining this or that scheme! Guess what, you decide to go for it and then you get nothing but frustration and disappointment! We are here to take your frustration and disappointment into an Electrifying Adventure! We have been marketing on-line for almost 2 years now! We have never spent one red penny on advertising and made nothing but profits. We can show you how to make money every day of the year. Many people may think this is untrue or it just can't be done. We are here to tell you that it is absolutely not true. The biggest mistake people make about marketing on-line is that they sit and wait for people to contact them. You will never make it if this is your approach and we'll tell you why. There are over 60 MILLION people on-line right now, and seven new people logging on every minute of the day world-wide and everyone is offering something. So how do you get a potential client or a new customer before your competition does? The answer is simply " Creative E-mailing" and it WORKS! I'll tell you why. You're taking your product, service or idea directly to the market instead of waiting for the market to come to you! Here are a few testimonials we'd like to share with you ( They're all 100% TRUE! ): Internet Communications, my wife and I owe you so much. We ordered your Creative E-mail System and within the first week we received over $1,150 in orders for my Internet Consulting business! --Charles -- California I have bought two so-called E-mail programs that cost me over $600.00 when I received them. They were extremely difficult to operate and it took me about two weeks to figure them out. Once I did, they were so time consuming it just wasn't worth my time. When I received your course it took me about four minutes to install and I was in business! Within the first 24 hours of my first E-mailing I received over $580.00 in sales over the phone. That first week I grossed over $2,000.00! I really can't believe how easy you made this, anyone can do it! Thanks! --Dennis -- Illinios Hello, I'm a divorced mother of two children. I wanted to thank you for helping me out. This was my first time buying anything on the Internet. I was skeptical at first but I figured I'd take a chance. This was the best chance I've ever took! My part-time business is now a full-time home-business, thanks to your Creative E-mail System. I had to hire my two family members to help me out! This is GREAT, thanks so much! I'd recommend this for anyone! --Ellen -- Florida You may have seen other people offering products "E-mail Programs, E-mail Addresses, Extractors, Etc." The vast majority of these products are very over-priced and very difficult to even use. None of them even supply you with current, up-to-date, FRESH & RESPONSIVE E-mail addresses! Our Creative E-mail System puts everything into one package to make your profits soar immediately! Even if you do not have a product or service to offer, we are going to give you over 500 how-to reports that you will have full reprint rights to! What makes our course different from anything else being offered anywhere is that we're dedicated to your success! We do not succeed unless you succeed! All of our E-mail Address Databases are created in house. We do not trade our databases with anyone because people are selling extremely bad lists on the Internet. Many of other people's databases are filled with duplicate addresses and many of them are undeliverable. We keep our own database so we know exactly what we have and we keep nothing but the best. There's no other way. We believe in producing high quality products that should be priced reasonably for your success! Read on to see the special bonuses you will receive. ******** SPECIAL 10 DAY BONUS ******** If you order within the next 10 days we will include: 1) 500 How-To Reports ( You may resell these at any price ) 2) Your Personal Complete Guide To The Internet -- This 175 page e-book covers every single aspect of the internet. You will never have to buy another internet book! When you complete this book, you will know more about the internet than 90% of the people online right now. 3) When you purchase our 8 MILLION SUPER responsive E-mail list we will include Mega-Mailer. It sends 250,000 E-mails per hour! All other orders will receive Pegasus Mail. It mails about 30,000 per hour. Here's how to get the Creative E-Mail System: All orders are delivered on CD-ROM or 100mb Zip Disk ( Iomega ). ============> E-Mail Databases <================ 2 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $ 99.95 4 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $179.95 6 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $249.95 8 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $299.95 You will be sending your Marketing Letter to 2, 4, 6 or 8 MILLION People! To mail to 2 MILLION People by U.S. Mail at $.32 per stamp would cost $640,000.00, not including envelopes or paper! The price of 2 MILLION E-mail Addresses isn't even a fraction of the cost. And the great thing is that if you have 10 products, you can E-mail to your list as many times as you want to! Your profits will never stop soaring! Don't pay someone else to send your advertisement out, do it yourself and save big money! The average cost right now to send your ad one time to ONE MILLION people is $1,400.00. You can send it 100 times to EIGHT MILLION people for only $299.95 and that includes Mega-Mailer that sends 250,000 per hour! ===============> Order Form <=============== Yes, Internet Communications Inc., I wish to take you up on your SPECIAL 10 DAY OFFER FOR YOUR CREATIVE E-MAIL SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE TWO SPECIAL BONUSES: "Complete Internet Guide Book" and "500 How-To-Reports".

Not the specific problem you mention, but there *is* a serious bug lurking in the header/footer operations, where after inserting a header (and performing some arbitrary steps) sometimes the header/footer simply "disappears". And this is where the insidious nature of the bug becomes apparent-- The program continues to operate normally, will save the file, but after the file is saved, the program will refuse to open it again... ever. -- Robert Worne (Spam has gotten out of hand!)

Message-ID: <5l2kom$ipl$4740@nntp0.cleveland.oh.ameritech.net> E-Mail Your Way To Riches! Dear Friend, We all know E-mail is here to stay. It's fun, easy and exciting! Would you be interested if we could show you a way to make well over $1,000 per week doing it? This is not a joke. You may have seen many people trying to tell you that you can make money by joining this or that scheme! Guess what, you decide to go for it and then you get nothing but frustration and disappointment! We are here to take your frustration and disappointment into an Electrifying Adventure! We have been marketing on-line for almost 2 years now! We have never spent one red penny on advertising and made nothing but profits. We can show you how to make money every day of the year. Many people may think this is untrue or it just can't be done. We are here to tell you that it is absolutely not true. The biggest mistake people make about marketing on-line is that they sit and wait for people to contact them. You will never make it if this is your approach and we'll tell you why. There are over 60 MILLION people on-line right now, and seven new people logging on every minute of the day world-wide and everyone is offering something. So how do you get a potential client or a new customer before your competition does? The answer is simply " Creative E-mailing" and it WORKS! I'll tell you why. You're taking your product, service or idea directly to the market instead of waiting for the market to come to you! Here are a few testimonials we'd like to share with you ( They're all 100% TRUE! ): Internet Communications, my wife and I owe you so much. We ordered your Creative E-mail System and within the first week we received over $1,150 in orders for my Internet Consulting business! --Charles -- California I have bought two so-called E-mail programs that cost me over $600.00 when I received them. They were extremely difficult to operate and it took me about two weeks to figure them out. Once I did, they were so time consuming it just wasn't worth my time. When I received your course it took me about four minutes to install and I was in business! Within the first 24 hours of my first E-mailing I received over $580.00 in sales over the phone. That first week I grossed over $2,000.00! I really can't believe how easy you made this, anyone can do it! Thanks! --Dennis -- Illinios Hello, I'm a divorced mother of two children. I wanted to thank you for helping me out. This was my first time buying anything on the Internet. I was skeptical at first but I figured I'd take a chance. This was the best chance I've ever took! My part-time business is now a full-time home-business, thanks to your Creative E-mail System. I had to hire my two family members to help me out! This is GREAT, thanks so much! I'd recommend this for anyone! --Ellen -- Florida You may have seen other people offering products "E-mail Programs, E-mail Addresses, Extractors, Etc." The vast majority of these products are very over-priced and very difficult to even use. None of them even supply you with current, up-to-date, FRESH & RESPONSIVE E-mail addresses! Our Creative E-mail System puts everything into one package to make your profits soar immediately! Even if you do not have a product or service to offer, we are going to give you over 500 how-to reports that you will have full reprint rights to! What makes our course different from anything else being offered anywhere is that we're dedicated to your success! We do not succeed unless you succeed! All of our E-mail Address Databases are created in house. We do not trade our databases with anyone because people are selling extremely bad lists on the Internet. Many of other people's databases are filled with duplicate addresses and many of them are undeliverable. We keep our own database so we know exactly what we have and we keep nothing but the best. There's no other way. We believe in producing high quality products that should be priced reasonably for your success! Read on to see the special bonuses you will receive. ******** SPECIAL 10 DAY BONUS ******** If you order within the next 10 days we will include: 1) 500 How-To Reports ( You may resell these at any price ) 2) Your Personal Complete Guide To The Internet -- This 175 page e-book covers every single aspect of the internet. You will never have to buy another internet book! When you complete this book, you will know more about the internet than 90% of the people online right now. 3) When you purchase our 8 MILLION SUPER responsive E-mail list we will include Mega-Mailer. It sends 250,000 E-mails per hour! All other orders will receive Pegasus Mail. It mails about 30,000 per hour. Here's how to get the Creative E-Mail System: All orders are delivered on CD-ROM or 100mb Zip Disk ( Iomega ). ============> E-Mail Databases <================ 2 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $ 99.95 4 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $179.95 6 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $249.95 8 Million FRESH E-mail Addresses only $299.95 You will be sending your Marketing Letter to 2, 4, 6 or 8 MILLION People! To mail to 2 MILLION People by U.S. Mail at $.32 per stamp would cost $640,000.00, not including envelopes or paper! The price of 2 MILLION E-mail Addresses isn't even a fraction of the cost. And the great thing is that if you have 10 products, you can E-mail to your list as many times as you want to! Your profits will never stop soaring! Don't pay someone else to send your advertisement out, do it yourself and save big money! The average cost right now to send your ad one time to ONE MILLION people is $1,400.00. You can send it 100 times to EIGHT MILLION people for only $299.95 and that includes Mega-Mailer that sends 250,000 per hour! ===============> Order Form <=============== Yes, Internet Communications Inc., I wish to take you up on your SPECIAL 10 DAY OFFER FOR YOUR CREATIVE E-MAIL SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE TWO SPECIAL BONUSES: "Complete Internet Guide Book" and "500 How-To-Reports".

I >have a NextStation running 3.3 User. A Nextstep machine is able to act as a router like any other Unix machine. But I think, for your special situation this is not of interest. If you want to get in contact with the net over a simple router, you need official IP addresses, so that not only you know, how to get in contact with the world but also the world knows a way to get in contact with you. On a Linux machine you can configure IP masquerading (also called NAT), which solves this problem: the unofficial internal addresses are converted to the official router address by the gateway (see Linux Masquerading Mini HowTo). Using this mechanism you can hide a whole network behind one address. IP masquerading is AFAIK not available for Nextstep. If you only want Web or FTP access for your roommates, it is the best to install a WWW Proxy like Squid on the machine with access to the internet. If you need other services like telnet you are out of luck. A way would be to install a firewall and application gateways on the machine, but I don't know, if there exists one for Nextstep. With TIS there is a free firewall toolkit for Linux which comes with sources, but I don't know if someone tried to port it to Nextstep. If you have some official IP addresses for your internal network, all above is off topic ;-) Michael -- Michael Pieper, Bluecherplatz 14, D-52068 Aachen, Tel. : +49 - (0)241 - 902455 Fax: +49 - (0)241 - 902456 Mail : michael@nexus1.tng.oche.de (NeXTmail and MIME welcome) PGP : Public Key on demand

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.

If a request is coming in it will pop up a window telling you who is trying to call you and starts a 'talk' connection to the remote user if you click in this notification window. Thus it allows you to get 'talk' requests even if you do not run Terminal.app and if your run a lot of open shells to find the source of the talk request very fast. Talker does not use any network stuff itself, you can let your old talkd and talk programm installed. It does not need any special setup, except for the addition of the 'mesg n' command in the system dot files (eg. .cshrc or .zshrc so it will be the only one to receive talk request in a system) and setting Talker up as SUID root (to allow it to write to /etc/utmp). I hope I have not introduced any security holes in Talker, please let me know if you find anything suspicious. The source code will be made available hopefully soon. It is only tested on Intel NeXTSTEP 3.3 where it seems to work fine, please let me know if it works on m68k and OpenStep too. In case you do not know what 'talk' is I suggest you enter 'man talk' in a shell window. It can be a handy thing to have. --- * Frank M.

The only major problem at this stage of the game, is that I need a Clean New OS install. The cube came with what appears to be all the basic manuals, and a blank 256MB MO cartridge... and NOTHING else!!!! When I log on as root, the icons in my apps dock are generic icons, and I have NO /NextApps directory/folder... All I have is /NextDeveloper, Library, Tour... and therefor, NO services... I want to reformat the drive... and begin FRESH... I have files that have NOT been touched since 1990... I need an OS... I did manage to upgrade the cube to 28MBs of RAM, and it already comes with an '040 with a 660HD and MO drive... no floppy... I want to connect it to my existing HOME ethernet network, and turn it into a possible print/file server... I did get the NeXT LaserWriter with it... I already have a PMac 7100/66/2xCD/56MB RAM/1GB HD... MacIIci 32MB/250 HD/DayStar cache card... Mac SE 4/80... HP DeskWriter w/Mini EtherPrint box... all connected with Cat 5 to a Dayna MiniHub-8... I have spent a good part of the weekend reading what I have in print, including the "Upgrading to Release 2.0", and I have surfed the various Net homepages, and found some GREAT FUTURE INFO... but, I have a really operating OS... In my searches, I was not able to find a place, where I could download ANY version... Did I miss something?? At NeXTes homepage, I found the multiple-K stuff without a problem, I am NOT an Enterprise... I just want to get a simple basic OS... Bonuses would be WriteNow... Mathematica... Websters... etc... I have emailed the folks at NeXT... and seeing it was the weekend, I really did not expect to hear anything til Monday... I did get an AutoAnswer from there mailer... Where can I find and OS!! I am willing to spend a couple hundred bucks for a LEGAL copy (factory sealed). Or, I do have a T1 at work and a major credit card... SCSI storage is NOT a problem... I carry a 3.2GBs HD around for work... I also have a 7300/180 with 2GBs... At home, externally, there is a 500HD, 1GB HD, 230HD 3.5" MO, 45MB SyQuest, and a 1xCD... I am also planning to hookup a TeleBit T-3000... In the new apartment, I'm looking at ISDN... July 1st time frame... In the new apartment, it looks like there will be at least three WinTels; 386/Win3.X, 486/Win95, 596/NT4 added to the HomeNet... Looking to go to TCP/IP... Again, after all that background info, I come back to my basic question... Where can I get a LEGAL version of a NeXT OS that will run on a NeXT 040/28MB RAM/660MB HD/256MB MO???? I you have any other comments, please send them along to me... Please don't spam... If I did miss something... Sorry, but I could not easily find it in the FAQs online... I have done some reading in my life, and I generally enjoy useful, practical information...

It'd be pretty tricky to do a windows port of it based on just the executable, and I'm not all that sure you'd have any right to do that anyway (not without checking with the folks who wrote it). About all that you'd get that would be of any use would be all the cool graphics, and those were done by Keith Ohlfs when he was still working at NeXT.

We have already been told that Rhapsody will ship to users with the new kernel, and that it will not have the 2GB limit. I doubt it is a journaling filesystem. I don't know if this will be ready for the first developers' release, but Apple does intend to have it before the first general release. > To be taken seriously as a server OS, Rhapsody needs something > better than it has.

From what we've heard, we will not face the 2 gig limit. I see no reason for Apple to go racing off after the Be file system, at least not right this minute.

I would like most if not all of these things, but I don't think it should be a high priority for Apple to work on at this time. As long as Rhapsody is not hampered by the 2-gig limit that NeXTSTEP currently has, then I think it will be fine for now. On the other hand, if Apple thought they *could* get an even better filesystem together for Rhapsody, and it did *not* delay the release of Rhapsody, then I would be happy to see it. However, it is more important for Apple to live up to it's schedule than it is for it to be the ideal "server OS". Right now, one of Apple's biggest problems is crediability with it's developers. Delaying Rhapsody to rework the filesystem will not do Apple any good. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer (MIME & NeXTmail capable) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

I think there's a faq on this, or something about how to unarchive the unarchiver. earlier versions on NS know about .Z but not .gz (or is it .z?) but it (the choice of which to use) is configurable in later versions (> 3.1 ?). you can deal with them (.tar) directly from the command line though, if that doesn't disgust you. see man tar. TAR(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual TAR(1) NAME tar - tape archiver SYNOPSIS tar [ key ] [ name ... ] DESCRIPTION Tar saves and restores multiple files on a single file (usu- ally a magnetic tape, but it can be any file). Tar's actions are controlled by the key argument. The key is a string of characters containing at most one function letter and possi- bly one or more function modifiers. Other arguments to tar are file or directory names specifying which files to dump or restore. In all cases, appearance of a directory name refers to the files and (recursively) subdirectories of that directory. The function portion of the key is specified by one of the following letters: r The named files are written on the end of the tape. The c function implies this. x The named files are extracted from the tape. If the named file matches a directory whose contents had been written onto the tape, this directory is (recursively) extracted. The owner, modification time, and mode are restored (if possible). If no file argument is given, the entire content of the tape is extracted. Note that if multiple entries specifying the same file are on the tape, the last one overwrites all earlier. t The names of the specified files are listed each time they occur on the tape. If no file argument is given, all of the names on the tape are listed. u The named files are added to the tape if either they are not already there or have been modified since last put on the tape. c Create a new tape; writing begins on the beginning of the tape instead of after the last file. This command implies r. The following characters may be used in addition to the letter which selects the function desired. o On output, tar normally places information speci- fying owner and modes of directories in the archive. Former versions of tar, when encounter- ing this information will give error message of the form "<name>/: cannot create". This modifier will suppress the directory informa- tion. p This modifier says to restore files to their ori- ginal modes, ignoring the present umask(2). Setuid and sticky information will also be restored to the super-user. 0, ..., 9 This modifier selects an alternate drive on which the tape is mounted. The default is drive 0 at 1600 bpi, which is normally /dev/rxt8. v Normally tar does its work silently. The v (ver- bose) option makes tar print the name of each file it treats preceded by the function letter. With the t function, the verbose option gives more information about the tape entries than just their names. w Tar prints the action to be taken followed by file name, then wait for user confirmation. If a word beginning with `y' is given, the action is done. Any other input means don't do it. f Tar uses the next argument as the name of the archive instead of /dev/rxt?. If the name of the file is `-', tar writes to standard output or reads from standard input, whichever is appropri- ate. Thus, tar can be used as the head or tail of a filter chain. Tar can also be used to move hierarchies with the command cd fromdir; tar cf - . | (cd todir; tar xf -) b Tar uses the next argument as the blocking factor for tape records. The default is 20 (the maximum). This option should only be used with raw magnetic tape archives (See f above). The block size is determined automatically when reading tapes (key letters `x' and `t'). l tells tar to complain if it cannot resolve all of the links to the files dumped. If this is not specified, no error messages are printed. m tells tar not to restore the modification times. The modification time will be the time of extrac- tion. h Force tar to follow symbolic links as if they were normal files or directories. Normally, tar does not follow symbolic links. B Forces input and output blocking to 20 blocks per record. This option was added so that tar can work across a communications channel where the blocking may not be maintained. C If a file name is preceded by -C, then tar will perform a chdir(2) to that file name. This allows multiple directories not related by a close common parent to be archived using short relative path names. For example, to archive files from /NextDeveloper/Headers and from /etc, one might use tar c -C /NextDeveloper Headers -C / etc Previous restrictions dealing with tar's inability to prop- erly handle blocked archives have been lifted. FILES /dev/rxt? /tmp/tar* SEE ALSO tar(5) DIAGNOSTICS Complaints about bad key characters and tape read/write errors. Complaints if enough memory is not available to hold the link tables. BUGS There is no way to ask for the n-th occurrence of a file. Tape errors are handled ungracefully. The u option can be slow. The current limit on file name length is 100 characters. There is no way selectively to follow symbolic links. When extracting tapes created with the r or u options, directory modification times may not be set correctly. ...this from OS 4.1 -- Rick Sanford Dental Records[R] dental@precipice.com NeXTMAIL welcome http://www.precipice.com/~dental/ We're moving!

You might want to try developing under OPENSTEP/NT before making a final judgment. It's not as bad as you think. And my experience is that writing for NT gives you the greatest portability; i.e., some code that runs on Mach still needs to be tweaked on NT, whereas NT-developed code almost always compiles clean on Mach. Now, as to the programmer's _user_ experience with the rest of the things surrounding the developer environment, I agree: give me OS/Mach anyday. And I do agree that the pricing differential is extreme. Seems to me that Apple is either trying to push people away from Mach, or they are trying to capture the value of the "total" OPENSTEP experience. -- Gregory H.

At least some of Apple's press releases about the new price for OPENSTEP Enterprise (for WinNT) said that "the prices of all other packages remain the same".

Seems to me that > Apple is either trying to push people away from Mach, or they are trying > to capture the value of the "total" OPENSTEP experience. Not bad guesswork, but probably not complete... try these two... A.) Conspiracy Theory (I'll tie it to the Grassy Knoll next week...) Where Apple failed for 6 years to develop a modern successor to the MacOS -- at an out-of-pocket cost of nearly a billion dollars, and at an untold and uncountable cost in lost market and mindshare -- NeXT seems to have a technical victory in sight (well, it *might* be an on-coming train... <peer>... <peer>... nah, can't be...), after a mere 4 1/2 months since acquisition of Apple by NeXT. (The Blue Box demo didn't crash, and the Apple press commented about how impressive it was that the demos didn't crash!) The marketing victory, however, cannot come from NeXT, which was never good at that sort of thing, anyway. So, what's the marketing magic cooked up by Apple? A stubborn refusal to lower the price of OPENSTEP/MachOS until the Rhapsody thing ships to the public on the PowerPC. We could chalk that up to short-sightedness of Apple Sr. Management. Argh... It's idiotic to drive Apple developers to NT. Period. Letting them run OPENSTEP/MachOS on Intel for a few months would not cause any permanent damage, because they'll all come running back to the nice PowerMac hardware, sobbing with relief. (I myself cry nightly with quakes of joy at the thought of never again having to buy another Intel based PC.) However, driving them to develop on NT is just plain suicide. B.) The Real Strategy Oh... but there is a secret cunning plan (which cannot fail) at work here! Let's look closer! Apple knows that it's crucial 3rd party developers are not going to abandon them until they must, because they find windows so repulsive (and rightly so), and that they can deliver a Rhapsody pre-release on the PowerMac soon (within a few months.) Apple therefore cleverly decided to lower the price of the tools that are actually selling -- the developer tools for NT 7 WindoZe95 that are popular with some of the more adventurous fortune 100 companies. By lowering the price of these tools now, they can get the jump on boosting sales to the Fortune 500 and Global 2000 Enterprises, many of which want to develop for NT, but want better OO tools. Apple will then be able to follow OPENSTEP/NT in the door by offering a more scalable Enterprise OS (based on MachOS) which runs on a variety of PowerPC platforms -- but which takes, oh, say 20% of the administration cost to keep running. Apple has done almost everything else right this week, and this one is a tougher call. Real developers will join the EAP and get the Rhapsody Pre-Release Zero (aka OPENSTEP 4.2) developer tools for $2.5k anyhow. So I'm willing to think that this price differential is part of the Enterprise strategy, and not a sign of doom and gloom. It is certain that Rhapsody for PowerPC & Intel will be much, much cheaper than OPENSTEP for MachOS. And the developer tools will probably come down to a level similar to OPENSTEP Enterprise (for NT & Windoze95) which is a pretty darned good price ($1.5k) for the worlds best software development environment of all time. /gary -- Gary W.

Works flawlessly. > Yes finally I have my HP LJ 5SIMX working with simplex/duplex due to NeXT's Printpanel. At my side the fault was quite simple and related to the principal handling of ppd files. I had introduced the Printer, connected via HP JetDirect IP Interface, by a flat printcap entry, just like on any other unix but in netinfo instead of /etc/printcap. So the NeXT includes the options from ppd but did not really expand it, as this is done by the finally printing host. (NeXT is assuming that this is a NeXT again.) I had just to replace the printcap entry by a reasonable Entry made by PrintManager.app. There one could chooce "HP JetDirect" as Communication (besided Parallel and Seriell). Now every NeXT Station printing to the Printer IP Interface really expands all information introduced by ppd file(s).

Increasing market share is the only means for survival. Which means that Apple needs to count revenue losses due to INSANELY LOW PRICES for OpenStep 4.2/Mach as capitalization costs.

Why suggest buying NT rather than their own product, OS/Mach4.2? Because most people already run NT? Rhapsody will resemble OS/Mach much more than NT (Unix layer & stuff), so why don't they help getting in touch with the flavour of what's coming? It's not the fact that they lowered NT pricing, what bugs me is the signal to use NT rather than OS/Mach. Frankly, they screw the developers in the NeXT community who - again - have to pay more to stay up to date. >It is certain that Rhapsody for PowerPC & Intel will be much, much cheaper >than OPENSTEP for MachOS.

The once breathtaking superiority of the NeXT dev environment has somewhat vanished. True, is still the most elegant (IMHO). Apple has nothing to lose in PC-OS marketshare; why not shell out OS/Mach 4.2 for a mere $ 299,- with the option to upgrade to Rhapsody later? Stuff in a web server with proper admin (should be a breeze to write) and web authoring tools. A superior PC operating system, cheaper than NT. Now, *that* could bring some leap in market share. (On second thought, not so clever: Making the I*tel version too nice would hurt PPC sales ...) Is the NeXT folks responsible for PR?

You might actually find a used NeXT station w/ I already own one :) (For four years now). I put it on the shelf because the performance downgrade from 3.3 to 4.0 made it virtually unusable. I'm writing this on a 486/120 VLB box, running OS4.0. Unfortunately, that was more a less a beta release with 4.1 being the bugfix - from what I heard. My student life will soon be over, so there'll be no more special academic bundle prices :( Since I cannot upgrade a student license, I *am* concerned about Apples pricing scheme. And, having been a fan for such a long time, I find the signals from Apple discouraging. >NeXTSTEP/Mach 4.x on it.

The CAP binary in CAPer does not implement file locking, as the fcntl locking in NeXTSTEP is broken and the flock and lockf variants did not work either when I tried them the last time. (If someone at NeXT can help me with this.... maybe there is a nice way to handle things I am not aware of). CAPerV8 will hopefully implement its own 'as locked marked file' list kludge, however all CAPer releases up to the new V7beta can not handle file locking at all.

For sales information call 1-800-879-6398." (aka "try-next") I went through their little voicemail hoops for find out about the academic bundle only to get a message to call Object Technologies (which doesn't exist). So I called back and stayed "on the line for further information" (pressed #4) and talked with a woman who I told about the wrong 800# and then she put me over to the telemarketing folks. The woman I talked with there (whose name I did not get) said that I should contact my bookstore. When I informed her that my bookstore had never heard of NeXT or OpenStep, she said that it would all go through NACS corp (www.nacscorp.com). OpenStep 4.2 was officially released Tuesday, but she did not know how long it would take to get through to the academic sources. (It is not yet listed on NACS' web pages) She confirmed that the academic pricing has not changed, it is still $299 for user & dev. I called NACS-corp (1-800-622-7498 x2573 for inbound sales) and they said it will take "a few weeks" before it gets to them. She said that as far as she knew the pricing had not changed but (she also said) that doesn't mean much as it could change when it arrives. So there we have it folks, the pricing for OpenStep/Academic seems to have remained the same, but (for the overly cynical) it will be a few weeks before anyone can say for sure.

People are not so stupid to imagine that it's because demand for current OS/Mach is so fierce (the normal business reason to keep prices higher) and so they begin to wonder at the hidden meaning. The most obvious message is: "OS/Mach is only for our existing legacy customers who are locked into it and we can get away with extorting a high price." Which makes it seem like obsolete technology. And, combined with the fact that it's the basis for the future "advanced" Mac operating system gives this message: * OS/Mach is obsolete compared to Windows NT, but hell, the MacOS is even more obsolete so Apple really doesn't have a choice. That's a very bad message, considering it's what many people are prejudiced to believe already. Even though it's factually untrue, they think "NeXT. Started a long time ago. Supposed to be so great, but failed. Still trying to survive by slogging this 80's technology. Big Risk. Better stick with NT, because it's New and Modern and the future. Part of The Road Ahead." Even slight facts which reinforce prejudices are remembered much more than substantial contradictory ones. -- Matthew B.

Not only that since GIF,TIFF,JPEG,PICT,and PNG will all be supported natively it should handle all these graphics formats with dispatch (won't have to route them thru Omnifilters). Maybe we will even get inline quicktime movies. I was thinking that once Rhapsody mail is ready Apple should put it on millions of CD's for free much like AOL does. This would be mainly targeted at Windows users as a trojan horse to get them to install the openstep runtimes for windows on their machines. The install of Mail would automatically install all the Openstep/NT DLL's on the unsuspecting windows users machines making them ready for any openstep apps. The first mail message they would get would be Steve Jobs telling them of the wonders of Openstep. He could then pitch that they buy a series of plug-ins for this new mail like inline quicktime support, more graphics filters and sound formats. Not only do we get these Windows users to buy into openstep we get everyone on a standardized mail app. hoops PS I hope they make an easy drag and drop GUI to add the little mail pictures -------------------==== Posted via Deja News ====----------------------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Post to Usenet

It's not the fact that >they lowered NT pricing, what bugs me is the signal to use NT rather than >OS/Mach. My theory: Few people (I mean potential volume customers) _today_ who haven't already decided to buy a truckload PowerMacs, are going to buy a truckload of PowerMacs _today_ because of the promise of Rhapsody. If a volume customer needs something today, Wintel will be the overwhelming (if regrettable) choice. Resistance is futile: you will be assimilated into the hive-mind, at least, we hope, until something demonstrably better and sufficiently app-complete comes along and saves us from the impending New Dark Age. Apple can gain some access to this market by removing the runtime cost barrier for OPENSTEP Enterprise. Applications thus motivated to be written to OPENSTEP, should then be easily portable to Rhapsody, and to Apple hardware should Apple continue to manufacture. This may help to solve Apple's most acute problem: the lack of applications. By providing an attractive application environment, Apple may motivate the writing (or salvaging, in the case of developers who were ground up and spit out by the NeXT experience and managed to resolve their livelihood by some means other than by leaping from bridges) of significant and attractive applications. Developers will be able to sell or deploy these immediately onto both newly bought and existing Wintel seats. Apple loses little by giving these seats away, because these are seats where they otherwise would have had zero participation. Each new application (whether shrinkwrap or "mission critical" [Jobs-ese for "I found a rube to buy a Rolls Royce to drive to the grocery store"]), is another paving stone in the only visible road out of Apple's current crater. Once Rhapsody is ready, and if an attractively complete set of applications can be assembled, Apple's OS, and maybe their hardware, will look more competitively attractive. They may thus improve sales both to individuals and to truckload markets. Should the market continue to insist upon smoking x86 hardware crack, but be receptive to Rhapsody as an NT/W95 alternative, Apple may still have a future as an OS and app-environment company. This is the point at which one would reduce the price on x86 Mach Rhapsody - when you know that you can no longer sell hardware, and have accepted the necessity of recycling masses of otherwise-excess employees into phone support positions. Immense support resources are required to make an OS work in the x86/PC hardware minefield. OPENSTEP for Mach still has pages and pages listing which hardware is supported, and it still has a note saying that you need a SCSI CD-ROM to install (which means that it cannot be initially installed on 99.52% of the otherwise-qualified PCs out there without spending a good bit on extra hardware, then still running a significant risk of failure). Even if Apple were handing out today's CDs free on the street corner, how many people would successfully install and run, how much would the support calls cost, and how many people would be permanently scared away by the experience? That said, $5K for Developer (if that's still true) is still too high by a factor of at least 5, and hopefully 10. Should Rhapsody and apps get to a competitive state, the market may once again realize the benefits of competition in the processor/box realm - perhaps not so much a price benefit as a very badly needed quality, stability, and ergonomic benefit. Should the market not accept Rhapsody as an OS, it may still accept Enterprise as an app framework. The bad news is that the runtime will have to cost something, or the up-front cost for developers would have to be immense (which can't happen, because however good OPENSTEP is, it's only better than other frameworks, not miraculously or permanently better). The good news is that MS still gets stuck with most of the expensive OS/hardware support headache. At this point, Sun, whose brain may have been permanently damaged by a recent massive caffeine overdose (a little caffeine is OK, but is it sustenance?), will be having even greater difficulty selling desktop hardware. Maybe they will be able to sell big iron (and that disgusting massive groupthink tumor which they call an OS) and NCs to people who are nostalgic for big iron and 3270s, but who want spiffier graphics. The 0.03-0.5 performance factor from running bytecode is perhaps an amusing way to get x86 performance back down to Sparc levels for a while, but is it really acceptable for general applications?

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.

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.

The current version of teTeX (0.4, based on web2c 6.1) comes with NEXTSTEP binaries and compilation instructions (see teTeX FAQ, Q22). The current web2c (7.0) also compiles with NEXTSTEP, at least if you have installed GNU sed and GNU make. The upcoming teTeX 0.9 will also support NEXTSTEP out of the box.

FLAME SUIT ON I'm not going to boot my NeXT to check fine points, and I never have enough time to really check out the features on all the NeXT apps. But, from a long time Mac-NeXT user's viewpoint ... WP is pretty clunky at best. Lighthouse has a reasonable facsimile of the complete Microsoft suite of Mac apps. They work, they read and write Microsoft formats (with minor glitches, and maybe two releases behind), and the price is right (about $100 academic). How you qualify is your problem; most remaining NeXT owners are either in the "mission critical" or "academic" categories. The fare has just been too high for pure hobbyists. OpenWrite <=> Word EquationBuilder <=> MathType addon to Word (I think this is in package now) ParaSheet <=> Excel (don't think it handles linked spreadsheets) Concurrence <=> PowerPoint (if you really need it) TaskMaster <=> MacProject But wait, there's more ... VarioData <=> any old flatfile database Quantrix <=> Lotus Improv revisited (3D spreadsheet) Diagram <=> MacDraw (but with rubberbanding added) WetPaint <=> Canvas 3 Lighthouse also offers an obsolescent Frame, quite servicable but pricey. Mesa (from the UK) is another Excel substitute. Then there's the freely licensed OmniWeb, which doesn't crash like Navigator. With it you run OmniPDF to replace the Adobe reader. And NexT has ported Apache, which does a fine job if you want to run a Web site. Stone has DataPhile, a classy flatfile database, Create (another drawing program), and 3D-Reality (a Renderman front end, hard to learn). The obvious gap is Photoshop. Tiffany is the pricey replacement, and I don't like the design, but have to admit it seems powerful. Fortunately, there are lots of cheap Mac apps that do what I need, so I don't have either of them. Although NeXT fans love their bundled Mail.app, it strikes me as inferior to the free Eudora for Mac, while I have yet to see a newsreader that approaches the NewsWatcher variants in convenience or speed. NeXT apps in these areas seem to suffer from an all-in-one-window syndrome. Dialup Internet connectivity became an issue as NeXT got out of the consumer market. NeXT PPP, GateKeeper and PopOver do the job, but are tricky to set up properly. FLAME SUIT OFF Lots of interesting features in these apps. Wish I had more time to play with them. Hope many of them make it to the broader Mac market. But you shouldn't limit yourself to commercial apps. The share/freeware apps are equally, or perhaps even more, interesting. And they usually come with source on the NeXT. Get the Peanuts CDROM set. Barney (delete that _see_sig to email me)

Of course, I made the extremely stupid mistake of reading at least part of the manual before attempting the installation. If I'd either monkey- paneled the process as usual, or read through a bunch of NeXTAnswers, I would've discovered that EIDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs are indeed supported for install, despite the contrary statement in one part of the documentation. Thank you to a couple of people who pointed this out. My configuration failed with the CD-ROM on the second interface (using NeXT's primary/secondary driver), but seems to work OK if I attach the CD-ROM drive as the slave drive on the primary interface. It is happily installing now. NeXT has apparently made decent progress at a more realistic driver support base since a couple of years ago, when I gave up fighting with cranky hardware and cranky drivers on 3.2.

Although Fiend.app is very cool (I even like the icon...), it is an overkill for my needs. The original dock offers just enough place for the apps I need most of the time. The only thing disturbing me is the fact that I need to start a full application for having my screen protected from burning in (yes I know the unix tools darkening the screen but that's no elegant solution). IMHO a preferences module would be ideal because Preferences.app is running here all the time.

If you need more of the bootup message I can copy more for you but the first part looks like it always has. Can anyone tell me what it is trying to do or what is making it hang? To make matters worse, I don't have a boot disk because there are no drives in my cube, and it is an original 030 so it wont boot from the external CD-ROM I added, as far as I know, even if I did have a copy of NS which I dont. Is there any way to bypass the section that causes it to hang so I can get in and fix the problem? I have been powering down from the lock-up by hitting the right alt and numlock and powering off.

Yes.... much like the 'black' setting in Backspace I would guess... I don't know what type of monitor they were referring to, I've heard this said before, and wondered what the alternative was.... Something makes me want to say they were referring to color monitors (which could be turned off) I've been using this script with my mono slab for a year with no noticeable impact.... could be logner term or under different usage than mine would cause problems....

Which makes it seem like obsolete technology. Apple has "effectively" stated that development on OS/NT and OS/Mach will be supported by the Yellow Box libraries: write now to OS, and tweak later on the Yellow Box. By encouraging a very early adoption of OS/Mach development, Apple risks losing support for the imperative PPC-Rhapsody based development (why change to PPC-Rhapsody rather than upgrade to x86-Rhapsody if you're already developing on x86-OS/Mach?). Clearly, though, Apple is saying, "Develop on OS/NT now if you want to get a head start." Opinions in c.s.n.* suggest that most of us cannot wait to develop on PPC-Rhapsody, and are prepared to move _from_ x86 to do this. Tell Apple that PPC-Rhapsody will be your development platform of choice (all of you!), and they may well lower the OS/Mach price. I hope so, if the choice of PPC is a general one (meaning Apple does not need to be worried). There probably is a "real need" to get OS/Mach-Rhapsody development happening soon. [Your other well made points may also help the cause!] Keith

More than that, they did not say. There are two markets that Apple has in captivity and will be able to keep there with Rhapsody: current Mac owners and the Education folk. Current Mac people will find Rhapsody a natural upgrade from System 8, and with the anticipated performance increases (an easy 2x), most people will eventually upgrade. The Education folk have always loved Apple, and now that Apple is delivering the first mass market UNIX, their hold on education will become even more solid. > Even if Apple were handing out today's CDs free on the street corner, how many > people would successfully install and run, how much would the support calls > cost, and how many people would be permanently scared away by the experience? > That said, $5K for Developer (if that's still true) is still too high by a > factor of at least 5, and hopefully 10.

This version will only write single session, Red/Yellow Book compatible discs. These discs are suitable for direct mass production by CD manufac- turers, as well as direct use in regular players. If you want to help me test it on various hardware setups, just send me a mail. You'll need either a Philips CDD-52x, a Kodak 522, a Yamaha CDR100/102 or a HP 4020i CD Recorder (maybe the SureStore will work too...) attached to a machine running NS/OS. Be however prepared to get an unfinished work. During working on this thing it completely ate my boot disk, due to a typo I made in the source. This bug is now fixed, but I cannot say anything about potential others. So keep this in mind if you want to help me test it. I will be quite busy in the next days, so please don't be upset if I'll answer your request a bit late. Since cdwrite was released under the GPL the full source will be made available as soon as the tests have concluded. Again thanks to Markus Stoll and Hannse E.

Why do you try to port cdwrite - it's dead !!!!! Cdrecord is alife and it's much better structured. Cdrecord currently runs on SunOS/Solaris and Linux. a Guy at HP will port it to HP/UX in the near future. To port it, you only have to add a SCSI transport layer for Next Step. Cdrecord-1.3 is out for a while, cdrecord-1.4 will be out in two or three days. cdrecord supports Philips CDD-52x, Yamaha CDR-10x, HP 2040, Philips CDD-2600 HP 6020i, Sony CDU-924, Ricoh RO-1420 Plasmon RF-4100, and many compatible drives Cdrecord will sopport more drives (e.g. Yamaha CDR-400) in the near future.

I grabbed and tried to compile Annuity.2.0.w.NT.bs.tar.gz and HousePrice.2.0.w.NT.bs.tar.gz. I had to edit the Makefiles. They were trying to use /NextDeveloper/Makefiles/pb_makefiles/platform.make (maybe this is a OPENSTEP 4.2 thing). Anyway, I changed it to project/platform.make in order for it to compile. Apps now compile ok, but when run I am getting the following: May 22 09:53:24 HousePrice[7451] Unable to load nib file: *nil*, exiting So my question is. Why, if this is an OPENSTEP app, that I am not able to run it? I have OPENSTEP 4.0 Mach for Intel. These apps were written on NT, but that shouldn't matter. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong? Or is there a bug in these apps that someone knows about? Thanks, Dean Johnson

I brought it home and installed it on my NT 4.0 Server. The builder came up and worked fine, but I couldn't get my application to run under Internet Information server. In fact, I couldn't get any of the Example apps to run either. At first I thought it just couldn't find the apps. So following the instructions in "Geting Started With WebObjects", p 23 I tried to test the app (and HelloWorld as well) from the command line with a WODefaultApp -d ..... Now when it obviously can't find the app's directory, it says so with an error message. But if I enter what should be the "correct" arguments (ie the document root followed by the app's location, relative to the doc root) WODefaultApp simply sits there and grinds - there is a bit of grinding at the begining, followed by nothing. I have to Ctl-C the app to stop it. Same story when you get to it through the server - the browser sits there, and there is nothing but shooting stars....When I finally hit the stop button, it stops grinding. Well I went to the next FAQ, and it said to re-install the thing with C:\ as the root rather than C:\NeXT. Did that - no results. except for the fact that now the builder won't come up. I get the splash screen and then it hangs - can't kill it in the Task manager or anything. I actually have to reboot. Gross. Incidently thinking my NT Server must have somewthing wrong with it, I have tried all this on two different NT servers, one of which I didn't install. Same results. Is there anybody out there who has successfully installed this CD under NT with the IIS and might give me some helpful hints. I can't believe that NeXT would be passing out software that didn't work to all these people, so it must be something I'm missing here.... - George Pipkin ITC/ University of Virginia

As far as the first goes, you can, if you find a box called the DigitalEyes, which allowed frame grabbing from a video source through the DSP. This box worked for all NeXTs, not just cubes. The real solution for cube video is not to use the DSP at all, but to use the NeXTdimension card, which has live video in and video out ports. See the FAQ for more info. As far as other movie players go, there's a MPEG player on the archives, and a couple other players. I rather like NEXTIME, personally. -- :: d a v i d y o u n g ::::: smtp dwy@ace.net http www.ace.net :: :: PGP fingerprint :: 89F5 E75D 4749 3FF4 :: ED92 1B6D 9871 9B93 ::

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. Getting the Newsgroups without getting News =========================================== Thanks to Michael Ross at antigone.com, the main NEXTSTEP groups are now available as a mailing list digest as well. next-nextstep next-advocacy next-announce next-bugs next-hardware next-marketplace next-misc next-programmer next-software next-sysadmin object lang-objective-c (For a full description, send mail to listserv@antigone.com).

This system allows you to request online technical documents, drivers, and other software, which are then sent to you automatically. You can request documents by fax or Internet electronic mail, read them on the world-wide web, transfer them by anonymous ftp, or download them from the BBS. NeXTanswers is an automated retrieval system. Requests sent to it are answered electronically, and are not read or handled by a human being. NeXTanswers does not answer your questions or forward your requests. USING NEXTANSWERS BY E-MAIL To use NeXTanswers by Internet e-mail, send requests to nextanswers@next.com. Files are sent as NeXTmail attachments by default; you can request they be sent as ASCII text files instead. To request a file, include that file's ID number in the Subject line or the body of the message. You can request several files in a single message. You can also include commands in the Subject line or the body of the message. These commands affect the way that files you request are sent: ASCII causes the requested files to be sent as ASCII text SPLIT splits large files into 95KB chunks, using the MIME Message/Partial specification REPLY-TO address sets the e-mail address NeXTanswers uses These commands return information about the NeXTanswers system: HELP returns this help file INDEX returns the list of all available files INDEX BY DATE returns the list of files, sorted newest to oldest SEARCH keywords lists all files that contain all the keywords you list (ignoring capitalization) For example, a message with the following Subject line requests three files: Subject: 2101 2234 1109 A message with this body requests the same three files be sent as ASCII text files: 2101 2234 1109 ascii This message requests two lists of files, one for each search: Subject: SEARCH Dell SCSI SEARCH NetInfo domain NeXTanswers will reply to the address in your From: line. To use a different address either set your Reply-To: line, or use the NeXTanswers command REPLY-TO If you have any problem with the system or suggestions for improvement, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY FAX To use NeXTanswers by fax, call (415) 780-3990 from a touch-tone phone and follow the instructions. You'll be asked for your fax number, a number to identify your fax (like your phone extension or office number), and the ID numbers of the files you want. You can also request a list of available files. When you finish entering the file numbers, end the call and the files will be faxed to you. If you have problems using this fax system, please call Technical Support at 1-800-848-6398. You cannot use the fax system outside the U.S & Canada. USING NEXTANSWERS VIA THE WORLD-WIDE WEB To use NeXTanswers via the Internet World-Wide Web connect to NeXT's web server at URL http://www.next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY ANONYMOUS FTP To use NeXTanswers by Internet anonymous FTP, connect to FTP.NEXT.COM and read the help file pub/NeXTanswers/README. If you have problems using this, please send mail to nextanswers-request@next.com. USING NEXTANSWERS BY MODEM To use NeXTanswers via modem call the NeXTanswers BBS at (415) 780-2965. Log in as the user "guest", and enter the Files section. From there you can download NeXTanswers documents. FOR MORE HELP... If you need technical support for NEXTSTEP beyond the information available from NeXTanswers, call the Support Hotline at 1-800-955-NeXT (outside the U.S. call +1-415-424-8500) to speak to a NEXTSTEP Technical Support Technician. If your site has a NeXT support contract, your site's support contact must make this call to the hotline. Otherwise, hotline support is on a pay-per-call basis. Thanks for using NeXTanswers! _________________________________________________________________ Written by: Eric P.

Date: 25 May 1997 04:56:15 GMT Organization: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada Message-ID: <5m8gpf$d18$2@nntp.ucs.ubc.ca> Hi A number of NeXT-knowledgable fellows have told me that NEXTSTEP 3.3 will, in fact, install onto a PC (AMD K5, 64 MB RAM, Quantum 3.2 GB HD, partitioned into a 700 MB part'n, made "installable" and active; this is where NEXTSTEP will go) using the 2 floppies supplied with NS for Intel. OPENSTEP will install *without using a SCSI CDROM*, despite what the sages prescribe. Been there; done it. YES I *know* that the usual situation calls for a SCSI CD- ROM: This is my question. Can I install NS3.3? I've done so with Open step 4.0---but I don't own that CD, only the NS3.3 CD. *** Note that I have printed and read Nextanswers, particularly #1561 (NS for Intel Processors) & #1951 (More than One O/S).*** I've tried doing as directed: selecting first an Adaptec SCSI driver. then an ATAPI/EIDE driver....The sys finds the Quantum HD, but cannot find the SCSI device. I get "packet sent...packet not received" and other errors. Any advice would be appreciated. Reply here, but certainly to my email, so I don't miss anything. >>>>> THANK YOU......SD -- If I can't die happily-- I'd rather not die at all. Anon

I connect very easily to the net using PPP directly. With a little understanding, GateKeeper is superfluous. Have you read the manual for pppd? Anyway, I suspect that the problem may not be with your ppp connection as such, but with your netinfo or routing configuration. What do you have in your resolv.conf? Please, no 100 kb tar files, like the last guy I tried to help. I don't always use the same machine or OS to access the net.

You also need a larger disk, especially if you want to do a little development (black hardware isn't quite fast enough to do serious development though).

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. Conside this release a public beta :-) ***** Will it run on m68k, Sparc, HPPA m68k - yes, definitely. sparc & hppa, most likely - we have to check if the kernel symbols support the BPF but otherwise I see no reason for problems. :-) Please provide feedback, thanks! -- * Frank M.

I have recently installed NEXTSTEP 3.3 on my old 486. The initial install went fine, but after the machine was rebooted two or three times, NEXTSTEP would no longer boot, giving a biosread error 0x10 (...) error message after the NEXTSTEP secondary boot prompt. It does this four times, and then resets itself. 0x10, if I'm not mistaken, is the EISA bus. This result is reproduceable, and I have installed NS three times now. Each time, it fails in the same manner. First floppy boot is fine. First reboot to install packages results in one biosread error, but the boot process continues fine. Next reset gives no biosread error, following reboot gives the multiple biosread errors and spontaneous cold reboot. Subsequent reboots do not clear the error. I am using an Intel 80486 DX/2 66 processor in an AIR 486 EL motherboard, 64 MB RAM, Buslogic 747C EISA SCSI controller, ATI Mach 32 EISA framebuffer, 3Com Etherlink III EISA NIC, and ProAudioSpectrum 16 (which I never did manage to get working). Before the terminal biosread errors, NEXTSTEP works wonderfully. Any ideas? I'm stumped. ok -r

There was a program called 'define' that worked under NS 2.x, but broke shortly thereafter. There is also a program called something else, possibly 'web' or 'webster', that is not quite as 'clean' (it formats the special pronunciation characters rather badly) but works just fine, at least on black. It came with source, which I got rid of, and I renamed it to 'define' because that was what I was used to using. I have the binary if anyone wants it, but it makes more sense to find it on one of the FTP sites and see whether it can be recompiled fat.

I am in need to export some drives from NT to our NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP Machines via NFS. I have exported the drives in netinfo domain / with bg,net,timeo=6 option to /Net. With 4.1 and up there is no problem with automounting them. With 3.3 (half of our machines) I can not automount that drives. It is just not working. No error nothing. Just a few seconds of spinning mousecursor. But I can do a 'mount -t nfs ntserver:/d/test /test' on 3.3. What is not working is automounting... My NFS setup is correct. Mounting by hand works every time on every version of the operationg system I have handy. Any ideas? I need to mount them. Or has anyone a better suggestion for a NT NFS server software?

I am running it right now on a SS1+, equivalent to your IPC. Its no rocket of course, and its a given that Solaris is a memory hog, but it does work and it looks great (alot better than Open Look for sure). Things you will need are at least 32megs of ram tho and mabye 50-100meg of disk. You will also need Solaris 2.4 or 2.5.

You could implement a NFS to NFS mapper (like rumba or afpmount does for other protocols), however the performance would not be as good as the original NFS client as the data is pumped though the kernel twice.

If they want to run a VB app, they also need a "run time environment". This "run time environment" consists of a numbner of DLL's that can be installed by your setup script.

You can find it on most archives. - Try to understand the "fant" command. - build a commandline that looks like "giftorle | fant | rletogif". This is not the actual command, but it should give you the general idea: convert your image format to RLE; apply any filter you need; and convert it back from RLE to your original format.

The author of vmount Christian Starkjohann <cs@hal.kph.tuwien.ac.at> has already ported the linux nfsd to NeXTStep. Contact him for further information. This might be a good solution for mounting from NT-NFS. (I haven't any NT experience) The problems of missing diretory entries mounting something from SGI (xfs-volume) to NeXT can only be solved by a patched version of NeXT's mach kernel or a new nfsd on the SGI ! NeXT has already such a patch but it brokes other unix commands (like install) and so this patch is available to two of their main customers only. (I really tried to get it, no chance, NeXT has not ever one man for a few days to check it out. They all are doing Rhapsody... of cause it is promised to be fixed there) Sometimes NeXT is confused by arranging the nfs buffersizes. This can be solved by higher values for rsize/wsize options of the mount command (NFS mount from NeXT to Solaris or SGI (some patchlevel)). The problem may appear similar to that with SGI in the first view. However the SGI problem is really a fundamental thing and cannot be solved by buffer sizes.

I need to print these files and put them into a program book, so I would like to keep as high a resolution as possible. I've tried saving the files as .eps files. But Adobe Photoshop on a Mac won't open it. Too many __NXdef's and such. I've also tried saving it as a .ps file. The trouble is that it won't print the fonts, even though I'm sure the Apple has the fonts I'm using (zapf Dingbats and brush script -- which incidentally, I "procured" from my brother's Mac). I can save the files as .tiff files, but then the resolution sucks big time. I haven't bothered to save the files as jpgs primarily because I KNOW the resolution would be bad. Is there some freeware utility that can convert a .eps file created on a NeXT machine to a .eps file that can be read from other OSes? I create the .ps files by clicking on print, and then on the save button. Then I choose either device independent postscript (which prints it) or chosen printer/include fonts, which WON'T display on a Mac. You can reply to this ng, but I would prefer if you email the suggestions to me at edew@netcom.com. Thanks in advance. EDEW

(BTW, I've tried compiling gcl from the source, but it requires a higher version of gcc than was shipped with OpenStep 4.0, and when I tried to get gcc updated I ran into some kind of corrupted tar file problem -- yes I did do a binary transfer!

From: ovidiu@bx.logicnet.ro (Ovidiu Predescu) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: ANNOUNCE: libFoundation 0.7.1 Date: 30 May 1997 12:28:33 -0700 Organization: None Message-ID: <199705301927.WAA00553@m45> MIME-Version: 1.0 (NeXT Mail 3.3 v118.2) Content-Type: text/plain We are pleased to announce you the availability of libFoundation 0.7.1, a free and almost complete implementation of Foundation Kit as defined by the OpenStep specifications, plus more classes that come with the newest releases of OpenStep 4.x. It has completely or almost completely implemented the following classes: NSObject NSString, NSMutableString NSArray, NSMutableArray NSDictionary, NSMutableDictionary NSSet, NSMutableSet NSData, NSMutableData NSValue, NSNumber NSDate, NSCalendarDate, NSTimeZone NSCharacterSet NSEnumerator NSAutoreleasePool NSException NSNotification, NSNotificationCenter NSCoder, NSArchiver, NSUnarchiver NSScanner NSInvocation, NSMethodSignature NSFileManager NSBundle NSProcessInfo NSAccount NSDistributedLock NSPosixFileDescriptor NSTimer NSRunLoop NSThread NSUserDefaults Some extensions to the OpenStep specification are also present. They include an extended exception handling mechanism, a garbage collector based on reference counting and a printf-like formatting class. The exception handling mechanism is very similar with those found in Java and C++ and requires support for nested functions from the compiler. The garbage collector adds the benefits of automatic garbage collecting to the OpenStep programs and it is fully integrated with OpenStep classes. The printf-like formatting class is a general purpose class that can be used to do various operations that require parsing of format strings like in printf(). This class is used for example to do all the formatting jobs from NSString class in libFoundation. These extensions are also available in a separate library for other OpenStep Foundation implementations; the current supported Foundation libraries are gnustep-base and the Foundation library in NeXTStep 3.3. Support for 4.x OpenStep Foundation library is planned. The library requires the 2.7.2.1 GNU Objective-C compiler with the Objective-C patches from Scott Christley <scott@net-community.com>. On NeXTStep machines the library can also be compiled with NeXT Objective-C runtime besides the GNU runtime. The library was ported on the following platforms: - m68k-next-nextstep3 - i386-next-nextstep3 - i386-unknown-linux-gnu - i386-pc-cygwin32 (Windows NT) - sparc-sun-solaris2.5 Preliminary support has been done for HPUX 9.x. The library also runs with GNU runtime on OpenStep 4.x for Mach with the GNU compiler (not the native one). Distributed Objects and Unicode support in NSString are planned. Changes since version 0.7: ========================= * The port to Solaris has been completed thanks to Aleksandr Savostyanov <sav@conextions.com>. * libFoundation was ported to Windows NT; thanks to Jeremy R. Bettis <jeremy@hksys.com>. * Shared library support has been added. New makefile targets exist on systems that support shared libraries (`shared' and `install_shared'). The currently supported systems are Linux ELF, Solaris and OPENSTEP 4.x. * NSRunLoop and NSPosixFileDescriptor classes has been finished. The NSRunLoop API has been changed to work with NSPosixFileDescriptor objects instead of Unix file descriptors. * Delayed execution of methods in NSObject is now working. * The library now works with both 960906 and 970318 Objective-C runtime patches. (You must have either one of these patches applied to the compiler before compiling libFoundation; see the INSTALL file for more info.) * Many bug fixes and improvements in NSInvocation, NSTimer, exception handling without nested functions support, NSString, geometry functions, NSDistributedLock, NSFileManager and NSRunLoop. See the ChangeLog file for a complete list of the changes. Where you can get it? ===================== You can download the source code from ftp://ftp.logicnet.ro:/pub/users/ovidiu/libFoundation-0.7.1.tgz ftp://ftp.net-community.com/pub/Free/libFoundation-0.7.1.tgz ftp://koala.NMR.EMBL-Heidelberg.DE:/pub/next/OpenStep/GNUstep/Sources/libFoundation-0.7.1.tgz Happy hacking, Ovidiu Predescu <ovidiu@net-community.com> Mircea Oancea <mircea@pathcom.com>
From: "E.Kimberly Kuechler" <kkuechle@artcenter.edu> Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: Trying to install OpenStep on Intel w/o SCSI Date: Fri, 30 May 1997 23:11:02 -0700 Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena Message-ID: <338FC0F6.1028@cco.caltech.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Howdy folks - I'm trying to install OpenStep (4.1) on my new PC (AMD K6, 32 M RAM, IDE CD-ROM (I've tried two, one of which is a Sony CDU55E - ATA, I think; I'm not positive about the other one). I've heard from a few different people that it's possible to install without a SCSI CD-ROM, but so far (despite a lot of trying and looking through NextAnswers) I haven't been able to do it. Can someone tell me what I need to do to install? (Or tell me where to find the info, or who DOES know.) Any information is helpful and appreciated. Thanks very much - Marc Unger (replies to ungerm@cco.caltech.edu, or the newsgroup). Here's what I do, and what happens: 1. Put "Installation Disk for Intel Processors" in the boot floppy drive, and the OpenStep cdrom in the cdrom drive, and reboot. 2. OpenStep loads for a while (after asking what language I want, if I'm sure I want to install, etc.) 3. Insert the Intel Device Drivers disk when requested. 4. The computer lists the CD-ROM drivers available on the disk, and asks me which one I want to use. There are 20+ listed, most of which are SCSI. There are two "EIDE and ATAPI" drivers, and one IDE driver. I pick one. 5. The same list comes up for the hard drive. Again, I pick one. 6. The "NEXT Mach Operating System" window comes up, and lots of information scrolls past relatively quickly. If I picked a SCSI driver for the CD-ROM, somewhere in the messages will be a line like [drivername]: can't get configspace: ABORTING. If I picked the IDE or EIDE-plus-ATAPI drivers, I don't see any distinctive messages. I've always picked the EIDE or IDE drivers for the hard drive, and the messages I get indicate that the hard drive is recognized fine. Regardless of which drivers I pick, I always wind up with this message at the bottom: No SCSI Controller or CD-ROM Drive found. use sd%d, hd%d, fd%d, en%d, or tr%d. root device? No matter what I type in for the root device (hd0, fd0, etc), the system "panics", and I wind up having to reboot.
