WWW site comp.sys.next newsgroups related newsgroups comp.sys.next newsgroups mailing list ftp sites NeXTanswers Stepwise NEXTSTEP/OpenStep Information WWW site =============================================== This online community resource includes - ISV company pages - ISV product descriptions - NEXTSTEP Developer Directory - NEXTSTEP Community WhitePages - Mailing List archives and information You can connect via the world wide web at: http://www.stepwise.com/ Suggestions or comments can be directed to me at sanguish@digifix.com If you would like to get your company and product information on Stepwise, please contact me at sanguish@digifix.com. eduSTEP WWW site ================ http://www.nmr.embl-heidelberg.de/eduStep/ eduStep aims to provide up-to-date information on: - NextStep tools and projects for scientists. - Third-party products interesting for the educational and scientific community (with educational discounts noted, where they exist). - A listing of resellers and shops interested in working with customers in the educational community. - Conferences, meetings, workshops - Major projects, such as SciTools, EMBL's project to develop a NextStep scientific work environment - Status reports on GNUStep, a freely-available implementation of OpenStep now being developed NeXT Computer, Inc. WWW site ============================ http://www.next.com comp.sys.next.* newsgroups ========================== news:comp.sys.next.advocacy This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. news:comp.sys.next.announce Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. news:comp.sys.next.bugs A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT- specific groups as well. news:comp.sys.next.hardware Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. news:comp.sys.next.marketplace NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. news:comp.sys.next.misc For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! news:comp.sys.next.programmer Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. news:comp.sys.next.software This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. news:comp.sys.next.sysadmin Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. Related Newsgroups ================== news:comp.soft-sys.nextstep Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. news:comp.lang.objective-c Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. news:comp.object Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

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

Message-ID: <5ms8ad$gnt@bolivia.earthlink.net> Keywords: NEXTSTEP, Communications, X-Modem Hello NS/OS Users, I am trying to locate a communication's program that I can use to perform a Flash Rom upgrade of my SupraSonic 28.8 Kbps modem to 33.6 Kbps. I am using NS 3.3 on a Turbo machine and only have the user version. I checked the FTP sites and notices that anything which looked useable either required a license string or a person to do a make file. I have kermit 6.0 which was compiled by Timothy Luoma (sp), but don't believe kermit supports X-modem transfers. By the way, and related to this question but also being a hardware question, will Black Hardware support the new 56 K modem download rates being implemented by ISP's? Many Thanks, LaMonte

I, and a coworker that was at the conference with me, made the mistake of immediately transferring the WebObjects cd to the plastic carrying case that the other Prelude cds were in. Does anyone know if the serial numbers are unique to each cd? There were a couple other people from the U of MI that were at the conference.

The harddrive has to be configured as master and the cd has slave (you'll probably have to move some jumpers - make sure the harddrive is set to dual master, and not single). For drivers I picked dual/secondary eide atapi (#5 on the third or fourth window) If that doesn't work then the cd-rom is probably incompatible. I spent an entire week working on installing my Prelude cds. I cut my hands to shreds transferring a hitachi cd-rom between two machines. Both computer cases (an IBM and a Dell) were literally made from galvanized sheet metal! I can't wait for this to run on Apple hardware. rob -- <mailto: "Robert A.

Browsing the book I found Adjutant Normal, Delegate, Light Italic, Line Draw, and Newport Gothic to be good candidates (the latter one being an excellent sanserif alternative to Courier!).

Is your ATAPI-CDROM connected to the second EIDE channel? In this case the standard installation program won't work. There are two solutions for this problem: 1) Temporarily connect your CDROM as slave drive to the first EIDE channel, hard disk as master. You can reconnect the drive to the second channel after the installation is complete and you have installed a driver for the second instance of the EIDE adapter. 2) Get NeXT Answers document #2266. It contains the newest EIDE driver and has a "Dual EIDE" configuration option. The problem is that you need a running system to unpack this driver. The advantage is that you needn't to open your PC.

A big factor is what are you running at the momment? I'm running 3.2Dev+foundation kit on black at home, and 3.3 on intel at work. I don't see any point in upgrading a black machine from 3.2 to 3.3. It's probably worth it for Intel. If you've got an older version (say <3.0), and have the memory then maybe it's worth a jump to 4.2. It depends what you plan to do. If you've got a lot of old code that you want to continue developing, then you need to decide if you're ready to convert that to openstep - might just be easier to stay on 3.x. On the other hand if you're new to NeXTStep programming theirs little point in learning the pre-openstep versions (not that they're bad, or that converting is so hard, but why set out in the wrong direction). Personally my home machine is staying on 3.2. When an afordable rhapsody release is made (not being EDU I would have to pay full price!), I'll probably look at getting a new (intel or PPC) machine. That way I can keep both versions around (as I have some apps which will never move to openstep). swings, and roundabouts as they say... $an

How about whether or not you can find a copy of NS 3.3? I haven't been reading csn.marketplace recently (got too much junk [aka off topic posts] in it, and I just bought a new system and do not want to be tempted ;-). However, I remember a lot more people wanting to buy it than those who wanted to sell it.... 4.2 is probably EOL for NeXT hardware, despite all hopes to the contrary (does anyone think there will even be a 4.3 OpenStep before Rhapsody?). One might hope that it has been 'tweaked' for max performance on NeXT hardware.... As for other factors.... it is hard to say without knowing what you want to do.... I could very happily run 3.2 on NeXT hardware if I did not want to compile MAB apps/binaries (yeah the Mail.app on 3.3 is much better). What do you plan on doing with the machine? What are you running right now? If you plan on developing, you might want 4.2... provided you can do lots of RAM.... if you just plan on 'using' than you can probably use 3.2 or 3.3 very happily.... Remember than 2.x runs much faster than 3.x, but there are a lot of other considerations.... however it is hard to advise when we do not know what your goals are...

I'm having a bit of difficulty using NFS between my NeXTcube and a NS 486. I have a tonne of data on OD I'd like to archive to the hard disk on the 486. Pulling all other ethernet connexions from the hub and leaving just the cube and 486 on the subnet, I get a packet every few seconds at the hub. The transfer takes hours. (>36 hrs to transfer less than 100 MB of data). This is unacceptable; I have twenty or thirty ODs to go through. FTP results in similar performance. The very first bit of the transfer (say, the first 100k) goes through at a normal rate, and then slows down to one flash of the packet indicator on the hub every few seconds for the remainder. I find this odd, because NXhosting apps between the two works at normal ethernet speeds, and the packet indicator flashes as in normal traffic. It seems to make no difference which machine is the one doing the exporting or importing; I've tried both ways. Importing from the 486 results in countless 'NFS server raskolnikov not responding' 'NFS server raskolnikov ok' messages to the console on the cube. I get no messages when importing from the cube, but performance is the same. raskolnikov is an i486-66, 64M/2G, NS 3.3 obelix is an 040 cube, 12M/2G, NS 3.3 Total loss; I don't understand.

I know that PhoneKit apps compiled under 3.0 and using 'hacked' libs from 3.0 run fine under 3.3. MessageCenter.app works fine IMHO with my extender on a POTS line. In fact at one point I considered trying to add tone support to that app to make for some crude answering service since the voice quality is excellent compared to my Zyxel & am. > And I have to pur some vinager in your wine, too.

I agree that PhoneKit was probably in something like a beta state but it was definately usable and WAS released with NS3.0. I wish they had included tone detection in the code for POTS though.

And BTW: Digital eyes does things that the ND doesn't w/o custom code. That is: It can scale video to 1/2 1/3 1/4 sizes where as with the ND it is still limited by the NBIC limitation to get the full screen video to the CPU to be scaled and returned over the NBIC to the screen..

ASSUMING that you have an account on the machine which you want to run sendmail on and ASSUMING that the said account has an .rhosts file setup to accept rsh connections from your machine where you do NOT want to run sendmail, THEN: there is a very easy solution to this problem.

Fairly impressive use of /bin/sh! As for the 'From ' line, have you tried using formail to change that with formail -I"From $address `date`" ? As for that switch, should be faily easy: #!/bin/sh # warning, useless 'cat' in next line address=`cat - | grep "^UnIQueString" |awk '{print $NF}'` add that to your script.... then when you are sending out mail, put UnIQueString someaddress@somewhere.com at the left margin _anywhere_ in your email... Note: I have not checked that 'grep' code.... it might decide to swallow your entire email message and delete it except for that one line.... in fact I think it will.... Have you thought about using one of the 'Expert headers' using the preferences panel? You could change that per message (command-7, 8 or 9 I think will bring up the panel and allow you to change it...) and you could very easily get the value from the defaults database... I can't remember what the value is (oh for the day when I can just connect to my own machine !!) but it would be something like this: address=`dread Mail UserKey1` in the script above.... otherwise you get into temp files... sendmail-addheader has something written into it to do temp files and check the body for content already.... check the code.... (do you have my new version of sendmail-addheader? If not then send me an email message with the SUBJECT send-ascii sendmail-addheadsig or download it from my mailserver page off my web page... NOTE: getting the address from the body WILL NOT WORK for MIME &/or NeXTMail messages.... you should either code in a default address to use if none other is given (a good idea no matter what you do), or use the Expert Headers idea (because you can still grep the headers even if it is MIME or NeXTMAIL) Let me know if you have more questions...

Once you have established connection to what you want, and started a receiving program (or if it starts automatically), type at a kermit prompt redirect sx file_to_send 'file_to_send' can, in fact, be multiple files and 'redirect' has also a short alias '<'. Type 'help redirect' in kermit to find out more. 'sz' and 'sb' for zmodem and ymodem transfers are normally just links to 'sx'. This works with flash roms as well.

Having used NEXTSTEP for a long time, this is the best thing that could have happened to my Sun workstation. One problem, however, is the apparent lack of (publicly available) software. Under NEXTSTEP, I could go to any Peanuts mirror and download gobs of programs. Under OpenStep, most of this programs apparently need some conversion. So my question is, before I dive into downloading NEXTSTEP software and trying to convert it to make it compile under OpenStep, is there any repository of already converted software? I have looked through all the WWW pages I could find, including stepWise, but I couldn't find anything concrete. Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, --Diego

What's wrong is the fact that Microsoft PostScript is brain-dead, in the sense that their PS is not page-order reversible, even if you turn on DSC conformance in the setup. DSC-conformant PS files should be page-order reversible. Combine that with the fact that NeXT printer prints marked-side up and prints the last page first. Your other-brand printer probably collates pages marked-side down, hence no need for page reversal. The solution is to turn off page reversal for jobs coming from Windows side. If you can insert a filter for lpr, strip the first line to just "%!" by itself (not %!PS-Adobe-3.0), then page reversal will be disabled for the file. Or you could turn off page reversal for all jobs for NeXT printer by either editing the PPD file or changing a flag in NetInfo. I.

Well, to inject some tiny hint of reality into this, the consultants charge what they can get, and that will vary greatly from one project to the next for most of them. If they are popular and well known, like Omni, they can get $250/hour on some contracts. If they don't have those sorts of credentials, they may be as cheap as, say a student who scrapes out code by night and goes for $15/hour. And there's a whole spectrum in between. So you could say that the NeXT developers are making something between $30k to $500k per year...though I _strongly_ suspect that most are nearer to the 60-100k range (depending upon skill) than either extreme. This is somewhat conjecture, somewhat based on what I know of others in the same field, but should be pretty close to the truth. I won't tell you what I make or charge, though, in any terms more precise than the above. :-) -- Later, -Don Yacktman don@misckit.com <a href="http://www.misckit.com/don.html">My home page</a>

It depends on whether you choose to be a salaried employee or whether you want to play the consulting game. Consultants can make anywhere up to $250 an hour, but somewhere in the region of $125-$150 is going to be a lot more typical. Of course, a consultant has to find new work on a regular basis, and they can end up not working for a while if the market slows down. The low-end for salaried employees is about $30,000 - $35,000, and really good NEXTSTEP programmers can see over $100K, with $50K being a reasonable guestimate for the average salary for an experienced programmer. -Chuck Charles Swiger | cs4w@andrew.cmu.edu | standard disclaimer ----------------+---------------------+--------------------- I know you're an optimist if you think I'm a pessimist.

Well, my best guestimate would be for those figures to asymtotically approach the industry average...The rate of change would depend upon how quickly and in what numbers people will go to the environment.

Here's what made it work: 1. Connect IDE HD as master, IDE CD-ROM as slave on the primary HD controller. 2. Boot up with the Intel installation disk in the floppy drive, and follow the instructions. 3. For the CD-ROM driver, pick #2 (Adaptec SCSI) 4. For the HD, pick #7,#7,#5 - i.e. #5 on the third page of drivers (its the dual EIDE driver) The CD-ROM is NOT ATAPI, as far as I know. This gets you at least to the part of the installation running under OpenStep. I haven't been past there yet, but I'll speak up if this initial configuration poses a problem later.

Go to Win95 fdisk and set the NeXT partition as Startup partition. Then NeXT will start (again). If NeXT isn't showing it's simple bootmanager while booting check out NeXT's disk -b command to add the boot prompt to the NeXT partition (again). So far no problem.

Boy, I think it depends on region, b/c here in NY the salaries I've heard of are a LOT higher. I've heard consultants getting round $350/hr (sheesh as bad as lawyers :) but on average $175-225, and full time work for a decently experienced NeXT programmer (3+ years) is in the 80-100k on average, and 130k on up for the super duper guys... I think it being a highly demanded, but short supplied market has a lot to do with the higher rates.... All that will change in the upcoming years (so live it up while you can :). -- Thanks, be well, take care, later, John Kheit; Self expressed... __________________________________________________________________ monoChrome, Inc.

This means that you will either have to move/rename the output file to wherever your pine addressbook resides, or change the pine preferences for where the addressbook resides ** 3) FOR PRIVATE GROUPS: PINE wants 3 fields, Mail.app only gives two, so you are asked to provide the 3rd (which is the 'Real Name' field in Pine... supposed to be the group's/persons's real name, not their email address or the nickname you chose ** 4) FOR PRIVATE USERS: Mail.app only has the address, you must supply the Real Name and the nickname/alias.

How to stop that? Two ways, I can think of. Either instruct your NI server to accept this machine as part of its network (HostManager.app) or tell the client to be no client any more but a standalone machine. You could also try HostManager for this (menu 'Local Settings' and check 'only use local database'). But if the machine underwent prior customization that prevents this method to result in a clean state only a complete reset would work. For this you need to copy /etc/hostconfig and /etc/netinfo/* from /usr/templates/client. But beware all customization will be lost afterwards. -- Peter Nitezki | Nitezki@NiDat.sub.org # Blessed art thou who knoweth Staarenbergstr. 44 | Tel.: +49 7251 62495 # not about the pleasure and D-76703 Kraichtal | Fax : +49 7251 69215 # delight of being hooked GERMANY | E-mail defunct, sorry # up to the Net.

Add 25% for New York City and some other expensive areas. NOVICE nextstep programmers earn about standard fees 50-75k / year One reason fees are high (apart from supply and demand) is that expert nextstep programmers are capable of creating apps for vertical or horizontal markets very rapidly and inexpensively. Employers are pay a premium for the "opportunity costs" of distracting the programmers from building and selling their own apps. For instance, my company earns 7 figures for selling apps but only six figures for contract work. With nextstep, the risks of building apps without a paying customer are low. It is an extremely good business to be in right now.

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.)

Robert Buchanan) Date: 05 Jun 1997 14:48:53 GMT Followup-To: comp.text.tex Distribution: usa Organization: Millersville University Hello, I recently installed the LaTeX2e macros on my NeXT computer system (it came preconfigured with TeX and LaTeX 2.09). Everything can be made to work, but I still have two questions. Before installing LaTeX2e I used to be able to use the tex command to process files that were either in plain TeX format or files that used LaTeX 2.09 macros. After installing LaTeX2e, I now must use the latex command to process files containing LaTeX2e macros. My TeX version is buchanan.bob> tex This is CTeX, NeXT Version 3.141 ** Is there any way I can coax my software back to its older (and what I consider, more convenient) behavior? Secondly, the previewing application available to me on the NeXT is TeXView.app which can open a dvi file as well as invoke tex on a file and then open the resulting dvi file. Since installing the LaTeX2e macros, I can no longer get TeXView.app to tex a file correctly. It's invoking the tex command when it should be using the latex command. In the TeXView command window I see the messages - tex -v "main" This is CTeX, NeXT Version 3.141 (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) Do you have any suggestions for improving this behavior? As you see, the two problems are related. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Since you did not say what OS your ISP's shell host is running, I'm guessing it's Solaris 2.x, a SysV variant. If you want real OPENSTEP, you'd have to convince the sysadm of your ISP to install OS on the shell host machine. It's not like just installing a newsreader in your own ~/bin, there's no getting around it. But if you really like a BSD4.3 shell environment (I prefer SysV given a choice), it would probably be a lot easier to just write a few shell scripts and compile some packages to fake BSD personalities in your own ~/bin than forcing everybody on your ISP's shell machine to switch to BSD4.3. The easiest way is to get the SysV Nutshell book from O'Reilly ($10), and learn the difference between SysV and BSD. It's not that hard. liuyi -- Realife: Liu, Yi <liuyi@dragon-dance.com> {NeXTMail|MIME|ASCII}

And there is PersonalINN, a ready-made binary package of an INN installation especially modified and adapted for personal use.

Proceeding along, I repartitioned the HD, and got OpenStep installed. The Next bootmanager is in place, and I can boot Openstep. I'd be more enthusiastic if the remainder of my hard drive weren't totally thrashed. I did expect to lose existing data on the disk when I repartitioned, and I made a backup accordingly. But when I rebooted, expecting to find a nice simple DOS partition into which I could reload everything, I was rudely surprised to get an "invalid media type" message. I used DISKEDIT (Norton) to fix that problem, and found out that my once-proud C: drive thought that its 65K in size. Anyone have any idea what happened? Or how to fix it? (Note that the other operating system is Windows95, which won't let you use FDISK outside of Win95.) Installation on intels is going to have to get a lot, *LOT* easier before Microsoft has any competition... Cheers, Marc Unger ungerm@cco.caltech.edu

The problem is two-fold. First, I can only send mail when my PPP connection is up. My outgoing mail doesn't just pile up and wait to go when I'm connected, it tries to go when I click "Deliver," which is not the behavior I am looking for. The second part of the problem is that a lot of mail bounces back to me. My very limited knowledge of how mail works tells me that two things are going on. One, my mail is going directly to the addressee, and not through my mail relay. If the target machine is not up at that very moment, bam! it comes back to me.The second thing is that my host name (which is nonexistant, because it consists of my machine name [sumo] and my service provider's name [pacbell.net]) is not recognized, and some receiving machines (though not all) apparently won't take mail if it comes from a non-existant host. Here are some relevant parts of returned mail: ------ This is from mail sent while my PPP connection was down. The address is valid.

I disagree. You should install NeXTSTEP/OpenSTep first, as it offers you the choice of Partioning your hard drive into 2 parts (1 for NS/OS and the other for whatever, in this case Win95). If installing Win95 first, you'll need to boot from a floppy, use fdisk to create 1 non-dos partition and 1 dos partition. hint: Nextstep likes to be installed on the 1st partition: it helps that it is first because then it can read the dos partition form NEXTSTEP, whereas if dos is 1, you'll not be able to see it. (At least that is my experience). Win95 WILL, if installed 2nd, wipe out the neato NEXTSTEP booter, that allows you the choice of booting into Dos or NEXTSTEP. There's my $0.02. -- Rex A.

Win95 is only removing the boot flag from a another partition. Simple invoke win95's fdisk and reset the boot flag to the NeXT partition. If NeXT isn't coming up with it's little boot manager check out disk -b command on the NeXT root prompt. So the straight forward way to get win95 and NeXT is. 1. Install NeXT, leave some space besides as suggested by the menue 2. Install Win95 3. win fdisk to boot NeXT again 4. NeXT disk -b /dev/rsd0 or /dev/rhd0 or what ever is your disk I've done this at least with four machines, no problem. stefan ______________________________________________________________________ /Stefan Ried, MPI f.

I recently had the same problem, although UserManager changed it for me and I hadn't noticed when I hit 'OK'. Took me a while to figure out why my preferences weren't being saved... Every time I changed /root to /, it would be changed back automatically to /root when I saved the mods.. The trick is to change it in the NetInfo manager.

I actually did this last week. Yes I agree that installing Win95 first is the best way to go. Make sure you leave a large enough partition for NS. After installing Win95 I installed OpenStep and went to the 'expert' installation stuff and it asked me if I wanted to use the unused partition. But then when it was done it was not bootable (I got "Boot Disk Error"). Fortunately I was able to hook it to a working disk and use http://www.next.com/NeXTanswers/HTMLFiles/1470.htmld/1470.html where it says disk -B0 /usr/standalone/i386/boot0 /dev/rsd0a BUT I used 'rsd3a' rather then 'rsd0a' and you should be sure and do the right thing for your setup....

Principally, one can export RFT from WriteNow but that does export things in the NeXT character set so German umlaute are not exported correctly. Therefore my questions: - Has anyone seen an import-filte for WriteNow 2.0 under Word? - Is it possible to export WriteNow documents with a decent character set, Even in some form of ASCII-format? - Is WriteNow available for Windows?

The Turbo systems are much more sprightly, particularly in terms of blasting graphics to the screen. If all you want is to use it for E-mail and other text-based actions then the non-turbo is okay, although if you are going to get color I would again recommend the Turbo option. I would also suggest the 400 Mb disc. 110 barely holds the OS, 250 will get by, but you have to be careful. At 400 Mb everything fits, and you have enough room left that it's not a worry. If it really is just a "hobby machine" then you don't want to be spending lots of time trying to make things fit. Feel free to write if you want more info.

This has me stumped... I installed OS 4.1 on my new Dell Optiplex PPro, with a 4095MB internal SCSI drive. So, I told the installation program to put OpenStep on a 2.5GB partition, and to reserve the remaining 1.5GB for DOS. Now my system is up and running, and fdisk reports exactly the partitions I originally ordered. But the problem is that regardless of what fdisk reports, according to OpenStep, the 2.5 GB of OpenStep space appears to be distributed amount sd0a, sd0b, and sd0c; each reports about 800MB. sd0a is the root partition. The 1.5 GB DOS partition appears not to exist at all, from OpenStep's perspective. If it's any help... the Workspace InfoPanel reports "Disk: 0MB". What on earth is going on? Can I stop it? Cheers!

The application is called Big Brother, and what it does is check the disk space and processes running on the machine it runs on (a NeXT box) and send the results over the network to the server (some unix box). It sends updated information every 5 minutes. My problem is, when I'm logged into the NeXT box it works fine, but when I log out, it stops updating its stats on the server. The process is still running on the client, though. When I log back into the NeXT box, it resumes updating, like nothing had happened. It's weird, and it hasn't happened on any other OS's I've ran this thing on. Can anyone out there give me a hand? Is there some interuption of network functions when the user logs out? Any way to work around that? Any wild guesses? Thanks a lot! -ev ---EVAN BENOIT--- loved by good feared by evil ware problem (defective card, slot, etc ...) Ciao, Thomas -- || Who: Dipl. Phys.

For a while now I have been running the 4.2 version of the lookup daemon under OpenStep 4.0, and everything was fine until something caused two crashes in the past week. These both occurred at the same time on the same day of the week, and in the end I think I have traced it to an improper crontab entry (associated with a SafetyNet scheduled back up that I created with every day left unselected---SafetyNet warned me but I didn't listen).

Any further attempts to run that copy of emacs will cause the same problem on other ttys too. But here's the really weird thing: if I run another copy of the executable (e.g. from the cd-rom) it runs fine. I have now taken to keeping a copy that I named emacs.clean on my disk drive and every time I get this problem (it happened twice today) I just cp it to /usr/bin/emacs and thenceforth everything runs fine (until the next time it happens!) The number of bytes on the screwed up copy of emacs is identical to the clean copy. Can anyone suggest an explanation for this bizarre behavior? Could I have a failing disk drive here? (But if so why would it affect only this program?) Thanks. -- Colin Allen http://snaefell.tamu.edu/~colin/

But I'm wondering: What version of NS should I get? What are the differences between 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, (which I guess is the minimum I should get) and 4.x? Rhapsody is supposed to be a superset of NS, so I can develop now on black hardware and recompiling will be all that's necessary, right? Will stuff I develop in 3.3 carry over, or would I have to have 4.x? I've been looking through the www resources for OS version comparisons, but haven't found anything. If someone could point me to a resource with the answer, or just tell me, I'd appreciate it. Oh yeah, and cost is a factor. If you have NS Developer (or even User) to sell, I'll consider buying it. thanks john -- --- - ------- ------- The real in us is silent; the acquired is talkative. - Kahlil Gibran jak@asu.edu http://www.public.asu.edu/~jkestner/

Why anybody would want to move to WinWord 7 is beyond me.. However, there's a simple fix to your problem. Store to RTF and run the RTF file through the following Perl script: #!/usr/local/bin/perl -p s/\331/\344/g; s/\366/\374/g; s/\360/\366/g; s/\205/\304/g; s/\226/\326/g; s/\232/\334/g; s/\373/\337/g; You could also use the Gnu "recode" program. Again, my humble advice is to avoid WinWord if at all possible. While other Microsoft products exist that are quite usable, WinWord can be a real PIA for editing anything beyond a short 4 page letter. Your mileage may vary.

However, I can't figure out how to get SafetyNet to restore files from tape; it doesn't seem to see when new tapes are inserted.

While I won't argue that NewsFlash is a great news-reader (I wrote it after all :-) I feel obligated to point out that, out of the box, NewsFlash is not an "offline" news-reader which is what Dirk was asking for. NewsFlash requires a "live" connection to a NNTP server. However, any newsreader, including NewsFlash, can be turned into an "offline" newsreader by installing a local nntp-server which sucks down the newsgroups you are interested in from your ISP periodically (during off peak hours if you're concerened about cost) and then serves them up to a newsreader at your convenience. The easiest way to do this is to use the package PersonalINN. If you're daring you can build the complete INN package yourself (there are some hints on how to do this on www.stepwise.com). - Chris -- _______________________________________________________________________ Christopher A.

It appears that 4.2 OpenStep is the last release for the NeXT hardware systems. On 6/11/97 Our PSNUG presented a NeXTstation Turbo on OS 4.1 (72MB RAM) at a Seattle dBUG meeting.

I can understand in that case that they would not bother to give on the net some licence numbers for use by anybody for any of their uninteresting software. And therefore, that any kind of restriction to copying software should be forbidden by law. It that case, it would never be illegal to copy a software, and as much concerned you may be about the illegality of piracy, such a thing would not exist anymore.

TUFF'97 is a promotional concept for a prospect follow-up system called "Simple Track". Software designed for Windows 95, 3.11 and NT machines. (Macintosh users read the NOTE below(*)) Concept: The TUFF'97 software includes a copy of Simple Track, so you can use this for your own personal administration (free). However, the TUFF'97 software is designed to give you BIG TIME credits for just taking the efforts to PROMOTE it. How do I get those credits?. Easy, just distribute/promote it. How? (Give away the software for free, put it on your website/homepage and let everyone download it. Give it to your friends, attach it by email etc). With a one time $40.00 (USD) validation code purchase, YOUR name becomes part of all sofware you sent out to your customers. When your TUFF'97 software gets validated, all your personal information is automatically integrated in the software, so everyone knows how to reach you by phone/fax or email and where to sent the check/money or cash orders. Basically this is the concept. Offcourse you need the software to grasp the whole thing. Believe it, there is absolutely no marketing knowledge required, just ask for the software package, join and start promoting your own TUFF'97 line. The only thing you DO need is a PC or Mac(*) and Internet. (*) TUFF'97 is only available for MacOS users running Connectix VirtualPC or Insignia's Sofwindows 95/3.11. A true MacOS version is not available. When you're interested in becoming a TUFF'97 distributor and create your own distribution line, sent a mailto:FiReStArTeR@frodo.com and ask for your copy of the TUFF software (We'll sent you a download location and install instructions).

I'm not interested by performance on that sort of hardware, because my primarily interest is Quick Time Media Layer, JAVA, and NeXTStep/OpenStep Apps like the Quantrix'multidimensional spreadsheet, word processor, and EOF with SGBD for small bases. I don't care of the "best performance" I just want to have station at different locations (house, work, vacations, ...) like an NC. I think that a NeXT Color Station is a very good NC for small companies like mine. Do you think that Apple could hear that message and produce a compatible version for Black Hardware or sell a compatible motherboard at very low price for NeXT aficionados ? Best regards

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

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

I'm not sure where you're going with the performance part of the question... performance while reading news from a local server is much better. Since articles are already being stored locally reading isn't bottlenecked by the bandwidth to your ISP or by an overloaded nntp server at the ISP's end. If you meant how does running a nntp server on the machine affect the performance of that machine for other tasks - it depends on how much news your handling and how frequently you schedule tasks such as fetching new news or expiring articles. My local newsserver is currently running on a NeXTStation Turbo (with 96M of RAM and 1G disk) and the turbo has no problem handling it. (The turbo also serves as a NFS server, runs PPP, and I use it for mail, IRC and other fairly lightweight tasks) It's recieving a fairly small feed (about 40 groups) and it pulls down new news every 10 minutes. While it's pulling down news I don't notice any performance decrease on the slab - the only way I'm aware of it is that I see the modem lights flickering. The expire and other maintenance gets scheduled in the early morning when I'm asleep so whatever performance hit that has doesn't impact my use of the machine. In terms of resources that depends on how many groups you're handling and how long you wish to retain the articles in each of those groups. I'm receiving 44 (non-binary) groups and keeping all articles in those groups for 14 days and it requires around 50 megs of disk space. - Chris -- _______________________________________________________________________ Christopher A.

The whole process is a nightmare, and I would appreciate some help with this. On top of all the other configuration issues, I have to get CHAP to work with it to connect to the provider. Are other people not having to deal with CHAP, or are they just getting things configured more easily? This seems like the final nail in the coffin of my NS experience, to be quite honest. It's a really nifty OS, which I first saw at my university, but I've just about had it as far as a useable operating system for an average person. Applications are few and far between, and they're not priced reasonably. Wolfram refuses to make Mathematica available for NS at a student price, so I've forced to use the Windoze version anyway. It's all pretty grim.

The kp-0.30 release seems to have some problems with teTeX 0.4. The easiest solution is to stick with kp-0.25 unless teTeX 0.9 is released. I have no clue when this will be ;-). If you want to try 0.30 now: The problem is certainly not with psfonts.map, but with texmf.cnf. TeXview has problems resolving the configurations and therefore falls back to its defaults. You might try to set the according values from the command line (e.g. "export TEXMF=..." or "export TEXMFCNF=..." etc) and look if that makes a difference.

The partitions are 1 - 457 MB 95 (2nd) 2 - 1600 MB NT (3rd) 3 - 2048 MB Mach (1st) 4 - 63 MB The numbers may not be exact. I installed Mach on partition 3, 95 on 1 and NT on 2. Using Disk Administrator under NT, I set partition 3 to be "active" so that I would boot into Mach 4.2. In Mach, I issued this command as root: fdisk /dev/rsd0h -bootsectorOnly -useBoot0 -setNeXTActive And that was it. Now when I boot I press '1' for NT (whose menu lets me boot either NT or 95) and 'n' for Mach. The only problem I have is that Mach will only mount the first FAT file system. So I can't see my NT partition from Mach--only the 95. Actually, one other problem I have is that when I copied a 50MB file from Mach to 95 it would perform the copy but the directory entry for the file would give the size as 0 bytes making the file unusable. The file was there however as CHKDSK would pick up the problem. I believe this is just a general FAT file system support problem in Mach. -- Chuck Esterbrook, Software Eng. http://www.orcacomputer.com/~chuck --------------------------------------------------------------------- chuck_esterbrook@orcacomputer.com / vo 540 231-3475 / fx 540 231-3480 Orca Computer, Inc. / 1800 Kraft Dr. Suite 111 / Blacksburg, VA 24060

This seems so weird that I mailed the "info" alias at lighthouse about it. Why anyone you were trying to give money to for a product, even if it was going to get no further version, bug fixes, support, whatever, wouldn't sell it to you is beyond me. Why they'd respond like that is beyond me as well. There's enough confusion surrounding lighthouse stuff to warrent a serious piece of mail to them asking for clarification on their current policy and intent for the apps, and for their future on the platform/OS so that's what I did. I also got the names of the people at the other end of the "info" alias, and told them that if they don't respond in 1 week I'd be posting them... (ahh the threat of public flagillation, it's such a wonderful tool ;) When I get mail back, and I'm confident I will, I'll quote and post the key points to it, and give decent contact information for them... Not that what you heard isn't true, but it seems real odd, given that I can distinctly remember reading within the last few months that they were still selling the stuff and information someone else had gotten about sales with a similar bizzare/negative response wasn't valid... Who knows, maybye they changed their minds. <shrug> if they arn't going to deal with the app, at least they're being sort of sensible about it. Tim

The on-line help facility in SaftyNet is pretty darn good. If you have an archive of the tape's files already built, the restore should be a breeze...simply select the files you want restored in the Safety-Net browser window and click "restore" in the menu options. Safety-Net will then ask to have the proper tape mounted for the restore activity. If you do Not have an archive .... read up on how to create one, (this will ask for a tape mount too) and then the restore should be as before.

It will then route (much like Vicom's Soft Router). It's all built in. However do do this you need one IP address for each machine, which expensive. However I suspect you want IP-Aliasing (aka Masquerading). Some of the other Vicom products (like surfdoubler) do this. You need this funcitonality if you want to connect several machines to one ip ADDRESS. As far as I know this is not available (though I'd expect it to be in a BSD 4.4 based release). $an

Okay, Upgrade.app didn't really eat my sister, but it ate some of the files that made my NeXT so nice to use, and now some things (like my PPP connection) don't work. I upgraded a color slab from 4.1 to 4.2. I looked through the upgrade plan and removed things I thought looked suspect, but some important things got thrashed anyway. I'd really appreciate any advice on how to repair these two problems: 1) My PPP connection no longer works. I think it "almost" works, though. Gatekeeper is still there, it starts, the icon is animated, etc, but the Diagnostics window shows...nothing. Not a single character. I can dial using "Dial" from the main menu, but "Connect" gets me nowhere. Any ideas on which crucial file was deleted/overwritten by Upgrade? Life without NeXTmail is not fun. I'll start having withdrawal symptoms soon... 2) My fonts are gone. Well, they aren't gone (they are still sitting in /NextLibrary/Fonts), but they are not showing up in my font panel. (They still appear in documents that already have them, however, and one of them is still my system font. Go figure.) Any ideas on how to get them back?

The fonts should be in /LocalLibrary/Fonts, not /NextLibrary/Fonts. The OS considers the /NextXXX directories its own playground and will muck around with it to its heart's content, as you've found out. Doing a buildafmdir would probably fix the problem, but moving the fonts is a much better solution. Marcel

I'm running an INN on my 486/40 20MB Linux ISDN router standing under my table. I get about 50 different newsgroups (including control) which makes about 15.000 articles and between 20 and 30 MB a day. I get news using UUCP because of its good compression (daily batches are about 5 MB) and high telephone costs here in Germany. I'm polling between one and three times a day. The next lines are result of a call on a system running since about 30 days: nexusgate:~$ ps -auxw USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND news 135 1.5 19.4 5104 3660 ?

S 09:59 0:03 -nexus1.tng.oche.de body While sorting in a news batch, the system subjectively lacks performance (articles are decommpressed and sorted in). If I am pulling news via suck directly from my ISPs server, I notice no performance decreases. This could be because no decompression is needed. The news system occupies about 100MB of harddisk space including history and log files. I'm holding articles for 7 days, control is expired after 1 day. I'd say, if you plan to install a news server with the dimensions of my one (it's really not a big one), you should spend more than 32MB memory to your machine if you don't want to feel performance losses. If you do news pulling and expiring by night, it should be fine. Performance of local reading is really good :-) And you can be the news server for more than one reader.

Did you add fonts to the /NextLibrary/Fonts directory? That's a no-no. You should have put them in /LocalLibrary/Fonts which probably would have survived the upgrade.

New binaries should not go into /usr/bin but /usr/local/bin, etc. Basically you want to change as little as possible of what originally shipped, and put your changes into other folders. (That part is pretty much gospel-truth, so to speak) Additionally, if I file in /etc/ or some other system directory _must_ be changed (and some do, such as /etc/resolv.conf) then I: If the file is part of the standard distribution (in a non-mathematical sense ;-) - rename the original file (if there is one) to name.ORIG - copy /path/name.ORIG to /usr/local/links/path/name (Or if the file doesn't exist, create it there in /usr/local/links/path/) - link /usr/local/links/path/name to /path/name For example: /etc/fstab, if I wanted to change it, would go like this: mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.ORIG cp /etc/fstab.ORIG /usr/local/links/etc/fstab ln -s /usr/local/links/etc/fstab /etc/fstab This way I a) always have the original file there b) if I accidentally delete the file in /etc/ I've only deleted a link c) can easily re-link files after an upgrade.

Dinse wrote: > Does NEXTSTEP run on the new Pentium II machines? > > If so, is the pentium II a step up or a step down from the > pentium pro for running NEXTSTEP? The Pentium II is merely a Pentium Pro with MMX instructions, running at a greater speed. NEXTSTEP should run faster due to the higher clock speed. For now, there are three main considerations. The clock speed on a PentiumII can be higher than that of a PentiumPro, which is a plus. The L1 cache is larger (16k+16k) and has somewhat faster, which is also a plus. But the L2 cache runs at half the internal bus speed, which is a minus. As compensation, you get 512k of cache rather than 256k (not considering the 512k PentiumPro, which costs 2x a 256k PentiumPro). How's that all add up? Windows benchmarks (www.esc-ca.com/notbenmb.htm and sysdoc.pair.com/pentiumII.html) indicate that a PentiumII at 233Mhz may be up to 10% faster than a PentiumPro at 200Mhz, and PentiumII at 266Mhz may be another %6-%8 faster than that. Unfortunately, Windows benchmarks have to be taken with a grain of salt. PentiumII also adds certain optimizations for 16-bit code, which Windows tends to have a lot of, while NeXTSTEP has none of. So NeXTSTEP may not gain as much as the benchmarks might indicate. Windows NT benchmarks don't give me enough of a warm fuzzy feeling - I'm waiting for Linux-based benchmarks to appear somewhere, say a kernel compile comparison. Personally, I'm not sure the premium for PentiumII is justified by the performance, as of yet. For awhile, it's likely that PentiumPro will be the better price/performance chip, if only because nobody wants it (everyone wants speed, _speed_, SPEED). Might be worth purchasing a PentiumII motherboard with a PentiumPro adapter, though, so you can upgrade later. [Of course, they'll probably charge half the delta between PPro and PII for the adaptor, making it worthless as an option.] Later, -- scott hess <scott@doubleu.com> (606) 578-0412 http://www.doubleu.com/ <Favorite unused computer book title: The Idiots Guide to the Zen of Dummies in a Nutshell in Seven Days, Unleashed>

I'm running an INN on my 486/40 20MB Linux ISDN router standing under my table. I get about 50 different newsgroups (including control) which makes about 15.000 articles and between 20 and 30 MB a day. Heck, I run a more-or-less "complete" (100k articles per day, 5000+ groups) feed on a 486/160 w/32M and 5G of disk space running Linux. It's also an IP-Masq router, an email hub, web server (for outsiders), web proxy/cache (for insiders - me), and probably other things I'm not thinking of. It _does_ border on wedged when doing the nightly expire, and it is almost always in catch-up mode in filing articles, but it keeps up. [Why? To prove to a skeptic that INN+Linux+486+32M can outperform his INN+BSDI+P166+64M setup. His machine takes 2-3x as long to do the nightly expire, for a feed which is only slightly larger than mine.] The news system occupies about 100MB of harddisk space including history and log files. I'm holding articles for 7 days, control is expired after 1 day. I'd say, if you plan to install a news server with the dimensions of my one (it's really not a big one), you should spend more than 32MB memory to your machine if you don't want to feel performance losses. If you do news pulling and expiring by night, it should be fine. I used to run a small feed on a NeXTstation mono turbo with 48M. To tell the truth, I never noticed it was there, except when I was tempted by the disk space it was using. Of course, it was easy to live with how fast you could read news with it :-). I think you could get by with less than 32M, so long as you target things well. For instance, you wouldn't want to have it slurping/sucking news during the day while you're using it, and you also don't want it to be running expire while you're doing other stuff. This is all pretty easy to arrange, though. Just have it poll for news a couple times in the middle of the night, same with expire. [Hint - don't expire _and_ poll for news at the same time, unless you enjoy watching your machine thrash.] Of course, one must ask if you really want 32M or more for _other_ stuff you might be doing. -- scott hess <scott@doubleu.com> (606) 578-0412 http://www.doubleu.com/ <Favorite unused computer book title: The Idiots Guide to the Zen of Dummies in a Nutshell in Seven Days, Unleashed>

And... keep in mind that OmniWeb caches everything in RAM, whereas most other browsers cache to disk (and re-render when needed). "Clearing the cache" in OmniWeb does not free up memory back to the system, it just clears already allocated space for future pages/images. Now, OmniWeb DOES use a lot of memory, but imagine how many pages/images get rendered in just casual web browsing for a couple of hours. Quiting and restarting OmniWeb periodically helps immensely in most cases. (A machine with ample RAM helps too...) (-; -- Rex A.

(-; All true, but still OmniWeb 2 continues to fill my disk by enlarging the swapfile thus forcing a reboot now and then... this is not acceptable so I decided for myself to use Netsurfer as my browser. Netsurfer, abeit inferior in its table handling, commercial and, for the time being, unsupported, works fine and even handles animated GIFs. I can only recommend it. Beside (on Linux/X11 and some inferior so called OSes not to be called by name here) Netscape does not do it either. At my optinion the idea of 'caching everything in RAM' is only suitable for a system with an infinite holographic memory located in hyperspace. Still I search the market for such a system, I would save me from cleaning up my disks from debris now and then... :-) Don't get me wrong, I can only praise the Omni guys for releasing their browser for free and actively supporting it.

I've been trying to install OPENSTEP 4.1. Unfortunately, the person I got the OPENSTEP CD from had long ago lost his boot floppies. So, I downloaded nearly all the floppy disk images from ftp.next.com. After many attempts, I finally managed to get OPENSTEP installed by using the NEXTSTEP 3.3 boot disk (1886), the 3.3 driver disk (1887), and the 3.3 Beta drivers disk (2078) (which I needed to get it to see my IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drive). (I've got a 4.1 additional drivers (2498) disk that I tried with the 3.3 boot disk, but it gave errors when loading drivers off that disk.) After the installation finished and it rebooted off the hard drive, I got this message: When you began installing OPENSTEP, you loaded one or more device drivers that were not on the OPENSTEP CD-ROM: EISABus PCIBus PCMCIABus PS2Keyboard Intel824X0 Adaptec 154x Series SCSI Adapter (v3.35) EIDE and ATAPI Device Controller (v3.35) Please insert floppy (etc.) Inserting the 3.3 Beta drivers disk loads the Adaptec and EIDE/ATAPI drivers without error. Inserting the 3.3 driver disk loads the PS2Keyboard and Intel824X0 drivers without error. The three "bus" drivers, however, give the following errors. Error occurred while linking driver EISABus: rld(): Undefined symbols: _theEISABus Error occured while linking driver PCIBus: rld(): Undefined symbols: _thePCIBus Error occured while linking driver PCMCIABus: rld(): Undefined symbols: _theEISABus (I've tried giving it the 4.1 additional drivers disk at this point, and it says it doesn't contain any appropriate drivers.) If I continue without loading those three drivers, I get a panic: panic: (Cpu 0) Missing EISA kernel bus class panic: NeXT Mach 4.1: Thu Sep 26 23:09:05 PDT 1996; root(rcbuilder):Objects/mk-183.27.obj~2/RELEASE_I386 System Panic: Missing EISA kernel bus class I'm guessing that the problem is that I'm trying to use NEXTSTEP 3.3 drivers with an OPENSTEP 4.1 kernel. Still, the NEXTSTEP 3.3 boot disk was the most recent I could find. And I could only get it to work with the 3.3 drivers and Beta drivers disks. Any suggestions?

I'd prefer to do it in quantrix, but I'll buy any of the other spreadsheets just to do this...but from what I've seen, non of the other apps let me do this either...Excel does because it has a Rank function... Anway, this is what I'm looking for: e.g.1 A | B ___________|_____________| 1,676.087 | 1st positive -32.494 | 1st negative 127.039 | 2nd positive -11.143 | 2nd negative 122.927 | 3rd negative e.g.2 A | B ___________|_____________| 92.949 | 2nd positive 171.209 | 1st positive 53.428 | 4th positive 68.644 | 3rd positive -15.537 | Singularity negative To enter numbers in column A and have the column next to them to show that number's rank next to it in column B... But here's the rub... There are two sets of rankings, one for the negatives, one for the positives... Oh, and finally, if there is just a single positive or single negative value in the group/range, column B should just display something saying it's a positive or negative singularity... Note, the output doesn't have to be exactly "1st, 2nd, etc"...any kind of numerical or simple output is fine... Anyway, it seems like an easy thing...but seems really tough to do in a spreadsheet... -- Thanks, be well, take care, later, John Kheit; Self expressed... __________________________________________________________________ monoChrome, Inc.

A comprehensive list is available on Stepwise. Stepwise OpenStep/Rhapsody Information Server http://www.stepwise.com Stepwise has been serving the OpenStep/NEXTSTEP community since March 1993. Some of the many resources on the site include: OpenStep Third Party Software guide, Developer Directory, Mailing List information, extensive listing of FTP and WWW sites related to OpenStep and NEXTSTEP, OpenStep related Frequently Asked Questions. NeXT Software Archives @ Peak.org http://www.peak.org/next http://www.peak.org/openstep PEAK is the premier NeXTStep/OpenStep FTP site in North America. NeXT Software Archives @ Peak.org http://www.peak.org/next http://www.peak.org/openstep PEAK is the premier NeXTStep/OpenStep FTP site in North America. This is the World Wide Web interace to the FTP site. Apple Enterprise Software Group (formerly NeXT Computer, Inc.) http://www.next.com Here is where you'll find the NeXTanswers archive, with information on OpenStep installation, drivers and software patches. Apple Computer's 'Prelude to Rhapsody' Self Support Site http://devworld.apple.com/dev/prelude.html This site has been constructed to help you help yourself to learn as much as possible about the foundation for Rhapsody, today's OPENSTEP. The site provides an informal collection of pointers, references, and starting points for developers who are using the Prelude to Rhapsody bundle, distributed at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference. OpenStep/NEXTSTEP/Rhapsody Related Usenet Newsgroups ==================================================== COMP.SYS.NEXT.ADVOCACY This is the "why NEXTSTEP is better (or worse) than anything else in the known universe" forum. It was created specifically to divert lengthy flame wars from .misc. COMP.SYS.NEXT.ANNOUNCE Announcements of general interest to the NeXT community (new products, FTP submissions, user group meetings, commercial announcements etc.) This is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that you can't post to it directly. Submissions should be e-mailed to next-announce@digifix.com where the moderator (Scott Anguish) will screen them for suitability. Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. COMP.SYS.NEXT.BUGS A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered. This newsgroup has a very poor signal/noise ratio--all too often bozos post stuff here that really belongs someplace else. It rarely makes sense to crosspost between this and other c.s.n.* newsgroups, but individual reports may be germane to certain non-NeXT-specific groups as well. COMP.SYS.NEXT.HARDWARE Discussions about NeXT-label hardware and compatible peripherals, and non-NeXT-produced hardware (e.g. Intel) that is compatible with NEXTSTEP. In most cases, questions about Intel hardware are better asked in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware. Questions about SCSI devices belong in comp.periphs.scsi. This isn't the place to buy or sell used NeXTs--that's what .marketplace is for. COMP.SYS.NEXT.MARKETPLACE NeXT stuff for sale/wanted. Material posted here must not be crossposted to any other c.s.n.* newsgroup, but may be crossposted to misc.forsale.computers.workstation or appropriate regional newsgroups. COMP.SYS.NEXT.MISC For stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Anything you post here by definition doesn't belong anywhere else in c.s.n.*--i.e. no crossposting!!! COMP.SYS.NEXT.PROGRAMMER Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SOFTWARE This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SYSADMIN Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. ** RELATED NEWSGROUPS ** COMP.SOFT-SYS.NEXTSTEP Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. COMP.LANG.OBJECTIVE-C Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. COMP.OBJECT Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups. Getting the Newsgroups without getting News =========================================== Thanks to Michael Ross at antigone.com, the main NEXTSTEP groups are now available as a mailing list digest as well. next-nextstep next-advocacy next-announce next-bugs next-hardware next-marketplace next-misc next-programmer next-software next-sysadmin object lang-objective-c (For a full description, send mail to listserv@antigone.com).

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

Given that Lighthouse is now an arm of Sun, I suspect the latter. I can't even count the times I've seen Sun, through boneheaded maneuvers, cut off its own nose to spite its face.

Depending on what you mean by that, you could (a) run Netsurfer, (b) run lynx in a terminal window, (c) remotely execute Netscape via -xhost onto your NeXT (assuming you also install X-windows, of course), or (d) compile and run the X version of Mosaic.

WebObjectsBuilder has an HTML editor, but it's designed as a construction kit for WebObjects pages, and I haven't tried to use it as a generalized editor.

While all is fine on black hardware, one cannot connect the notebook to a local kernel on Intel. (However, running math in a local shell window, or connecting to another type of machine [HP], is no problem.) This is the same either for Mathtalk or for Mathlink protocols. More precisely, the kernel does start, but never connects (Mathtalk V2.1), or, under MathLink2.2, it gives "connection to server lost" It then hangs when one tries to evaluate some input. I used the updated mathclient program, and also tried various ways to call the kernel from shells etc - nothing works. Did anybody else experience this and knows how to resolve it ? Hardware is Intel VS440FX PPro with Adaptec 2940U. Thanks, W. Lerche

The lack of Java support is due to the NeXTSTEP platform. There is no browser on NeXTSTEP which has Java support. The only answer for plug-ins is to buy a Mac or Windows machine.

Perhaps this paranoia is unjustified. Apple wasn't involved with NeXT when Sun bought Lighthouse. Sun subsequently(?) released OpenStep on Solaris. So why did they trash a market they had just released a gateway into? A few suggestions: 1. The apps weren't good enough to compete. 2. There isn't enough desktop app market for Sun machines to justify support costs. 3. Lighthouse wanted to do Java rather than OS conversions. 4. An earlier Sun agreement with Microsoft regarding Solaris apps. I suspect a combination of all of the above, and doubt we will know the real answer while we still care.

Better check with Omnigroup for sure, though. Certainly OmniWeb 3.0 (the Rhapsody version) will support animated GIFs - along with a preference to turn them off (they sure do make the net an annoying place). The Rhapsody version of OmniImage will also support displaying animated gifs, since it uses the same pipeline stuff that OmniWeb uses. There will likely be a bundle released that will add animated GIF support to the current OmniWeb, but it will probably not be in the immediate future, and it may not be as polished as the version for 3.0. We are addressing some things for OmniWeb 2.6; beyond that, our focus will be on 3.0, since that's what's going to carry us forward, and 2.6 will not run on Rhapsody. -- andrew_abernathy@omnigroup.com - NeXTmail & MIME ok

One of the things which we are trying to find out is how to properly get class and method documentation into the JavaPlan project when parsing existing code. IT seems like it takes the comment which comes behind the declaration inside the header. e.g: - (void)myMethodIsSilly; // This will be the documentation string. But thats not what many people (=me) use. At least I have th method documentation in the .m files and then generat the RTF docu files based on these comments since otherwise the headerfiles would get too large und more or less unreadable. Anybody (from Lighthouse?) who can tell me if there is a way to customize the ObjC unparser bundle so that it will use a different form of docum recognition ? Aloha Tomi

Nextstep is on a non-DOS partition and NT won't over write it. If you're going to replace your DOS setup with NT, you can just format the DOS partition and install NT there. Temp files will be stored on the DOS partition. Don't forget that you probably want a very small DOS partition as your C: drive and NT installed on the D: in case of emergencies. Also be sure to take the option of creating an emergency disk when you install NT. Hope this helps.

When they did one of their "do things a new way now" and of course broke the old way, they renamed one of the shlibs...

When the tape is played back, viewers hear your voice while seeing what you did. WatchMe is great for creating instructional materials or for documenting your custom applications.

Yes, but: i) You will have to program strictly to the OpenStep api --- avoiding having a few unix-isms creeping in can be tricky. ii) You will need to recompile your app for WinNT/95. Once Yellow Box is released, you will be able to program in Java, and so run without any need for recompilation. iii) You will need to supply the OpenStep runtime dll's with your app if it's the first OpenStep app to be installed on the WinNT/95 machine. Apple lets you do this for free. > 2) Does anybody know about an OpenStep API for the Macintosh? I dont mean > Rhapsody.

Ummm, what kind of problems? I have a license for my NeXT color printer, and it has "timeout" problems... the most irritating being that after 200 "not ready messages" hit the cxserver log, the damn thing pops up a window notifying you too many timeouts have occurred and it will not continue to print until the window is removed by clicking "OK". It then pops up again almost immediately afterward with timeout #201... <sigh> I've limited my print runs to one page at a time, and it works great... unless I try "heavy ink"... then it won't even get through one page... -- Robert Worne [mail to me with the URL below:] Mail: http://www.primenet.com/~rworne/email.html //-----------------------------------------------------------------// Starving CS Undergrad: "Sorry, I don't do Windows I'd rather starve!" //-----------------------------------------------------------------// Visit my videogame collecting site! http://www.primenet.com/~rworne/

Messages posted to announce should NOT be posted or crossposted to any other comp.sys.next groups. COMP.SYS.NEXT.BUGS A place to report verifiable bugs in NeXT-supplied software. Material e-mailed to Bug_NeXT@NeXT.COM is not published, so this is a place for the net community find out about problems when they're discovered.

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.

COMP.SYS.NEXT.PROGRAMMER Questions and discussions of interest to NEXTSTEP programmers. This is primarily a forum for advanced technical material. Generic UNIX questions belong elsewhere (comp.unix.questions), although specific questions about NeXT's implementation or porting issues are appropriate here. Note that there are several other more "horizontal" newsgroups (comp.lang.objective-c, comp.lang.postscript, comp.os.mach, comp.protocols.tcp-ip, etc.) that may also be of interest. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SOFTWARE This is a place to talk about [third party] software products that run on NEXTSTEP systems. COMP.SYS.NEXT.SYSADMIN Stuff relating to NeXT system administration issues; in rare cases this will spill over into .programmer or .software. ** RELATED NEWSGROUPS ** COMP.SOFT-SYS.NEXTSTEP Like comp.sys.next.software and comp.sys.next.misc combined. Exists because NeXT is a software-only company now, and comp.soft-sys is for discussion of software systems with scope similar to NEXTSTEP. COMP.LANG.OBJECTIVE-C Technical talk about the Objective-C language. Implemetations discussed include NeXT, Gnu, Stepstone, etc. COMP.OBJECT Technical talk about OOP in general. Lots of C++ discussion, but NeXT and Objective-C get quite a bit of attention. At times gets almost philosophical about objects, but then again OOP allows one to be a programmer/philosopher. (The original comp.sys.next no longer exists--do not attempt to post to it.) Exception to the crossposting restrictions: announcements of usenet RFDs or CFVs, when made by the news.announce.newgroups moderator, may be simultaneously crossposted to all c.s.n.* newsgroups.

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

Don't know about NS/OS based Prolog interpreters, but you can get precompiled clisp or gcl installed and get a Common Lisp based Prolog (Check the CMU Lisp repository) running in very little time. It's been a while, but I recall Peter Norvig's Lisp book has a chapter on the implementation of Prolog in CL and it's not that hard, IMHO. liuyi -- Realife: Liu, Yi <liuyi@dragon-dance.com> {NeXTMail|MIME|ASCII}

Complete newbie to NeXT here, and, as will become apparent, a non-TeX hack to boot! I am trying to install TeX on my PPro which runs NEXTSTEP 3.0. NeXTeX (which I uploaded from the distribution disk) seems to contain a very rudimentary version of TeX: LaTeX209 is the variant, as opposed to LaTeX2e. However I can actaully see some sort of output using TeXView. I have also got my hands on the TeX Live CD (May 1997), which supports NeXT. I have installed everything worth installing from this disk but the TeXView app doesn't seem to want to run. It can't view anything and doesn't seem to know where to grab fonts from &c. However, I do deem to be able to get .dvi output when I LaTeX from a terminal window. So, there we have it, I want to use TeXView and can get it going (to a limited extent) with the NeXTTeX distribution but it's outdated TeX and doesn't include many fonts; and the TeX Live NeXT distribution doesn't seem to want to play cricket. I have been playing with environment variables of all sorts for hours and have not been able to come with anything. The TeX Live documentation is particularly arcane and assumes that installation is done by a TeX hack. So my questions are manifold: i) How do you get fonts tailored to the NeXT screen (Display PostScript)? How do I get TeXView to display what a document is supposed to look like? ii) How do I tell (whatever) distribution package where to put things...NeXTeX (outdated) seems to know; TeX Live doesn't (not for TeXView anyhow). iii) How do I tailor fonts to my 1200dpi PostScript printer? (At present, if I print out a document, the type looks "thin") Thanks, Thomas. -- thomas harte @ computer laboratory, cambridge university. +44 1223 334628; fax: 334678; deep philosophical thingy: how come $\{rm knuth\}\cap\{rm html\}=\{\varnothing\}$?

Message-ID: <5p0sdu$nea@iserver.stem.com> References: <5p0g4q$dlh@fido.transit.ru> Hello, Vladimir -- & others who use CVS on NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP rtr@user.transit.ru (transit shell) wrote: >Hi, > >Could anybody suggest me how to wrap/unwrap .nib files to store them into cvs >repository? > >Thank you in advance. > >Vladimir THE PROBLEM: GNU's CVS (Concurrent Version System) is useful for archiving source code and documentation. It has trouble with InterfaceBuilder, though. InterfaceBuilder destroys the CVS information inside the *.nib files (directories) when it modifies a *.nib. (Actually, it fails to copy the CVS stuff from the old version of the *.nib into the new.) Consequently, one can archive a *.lproj directory with CVS, but if one checks out a version, then modifies its *.nib files, and then tries to archive the new version, -- frustration! A SOLUTION: Bob Vadnais wrote a Palette for InterfaceBuilder, called CVSPalette. CVSPalette attaches to InterfaceBuilder and fixes the problem; it copies the CVS stuff when saving a *.nib document. Christopher Lane recently updated it for InterfaceBuilder 4.2. Those who use NEXTSTEP 3.x and CVS can get CVSPalette from Bob's archive submission: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/sourcelibrary/palettes/ CVS.NIHS.bs.tar.gz CVS.ReadMe Those who use OPENSTEP 4.2 are invited to e-mail me; I'll send you this work by Bob and Christopher. (I've not tested it in 4.0 or 4.1, and this does not apply to OPENSTEP/NT -- CVS is UNIX.) If Bob Vadnais reads this, -- Hey, thanks, Bob! -- he might want to submit this update. Unfortunately, I was unable to contact him at PDH and NeXT. Don Briggs dbriggs@stem.com <standard disclaimer> Of course, fixing InterfaceBuilder itself would be preferable, but the NeXT folks are probably all pretty busy, right now ...
