I installed an Adaptec 6360, which is supposed to be supported under 3.2. I planned on installing NeXT from a 2x Media Vision external CD-ROM drive. It resets the SCSI bus, finds the CD, but fails and screws up. I don't have a terminator on the other port of the CD-ROM, and I don't really know if I need one. The card and drive work fine under Win95, so I know they are not defective. Any ideas on what I should do? I've included the exact messages that went accross the screen. I'd really like to get NeXT installed soon, but I don't know what to do. I've also included my exact configuration just in case. Thanks in advance for any information.

I'm having a problem with a 3.1 to 4.2 upgrade. I installed a CD-ROM drive on my system. This went fine - the NeXTStep 4.2 CD is recognized with no problem. I run the Upgrader.app and get the "OPENSTEP for Mach Software Upgrade" dialog. It says that the system disk contains Release 3.1 and that it will install 4.2 on it. So far, so good. I click on "Plan Upgrade" (a process that is said to take about 30 minutes) and it starts accessing the CD-ROM for a minute or two then abruptly quits. No error message; no information whatsoever. The machine is not hung or crashed. The upgrade just quits. The machine has a 406Mb main system drive with 132Mb free. There is a 1Gb external HD on the system with 460Mb free. The system currently has only 16Mb of RAM, but I will bump this up to 64Mb soon. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

I am assuming you know little/nothing about fsck. If you do know, my apologies for the time/bandwidth. Is it making lots of disk seeking noises? It could be running an fsck and needs quite a bit of time to finish up. Power it up, grab a cup of coffee, and read the sports pages (or comics). Come back and see if it's any different. If you choose to sit and watch it, it will suddenly reboot (but not repeat) the long fsck process. Even better right after the "boop" it makes when "Testing system" disappears, hit Command-~ (tilde) and type "bsd" then the return key. You can watch and see where the system halts. Write it down and let us know. -- //-----------------------------------------------------------------// Starving CS Undergrad: "Sorry, I don't do Windows I'd rather starve!" //-----------------------------------------------------------------// Visit my videogame collecting site! http://www.primenet.com/~rworne/

Or maybe it was the other way around... but you get the idea.... IMO if it was possible to NXHost it you'd be looking at a very slow performance.... Better would be to find someone who would be willing to share their FrameMaker license with you so you can install it on your 3.x machine directly. TjL -- My FROM address is fake. It does not exist.

Strange. Any comments? Yes. It's true that dragging a file over Opener's icon on the _dock_ causes the behavior you describe. It works fine if Opener is launched from elsewhere. This was due to a change in the whole drag/drop mechanism of NeXTSTEP between NS 2.1 and NS 3.0; I never quite figured it out back at the time, and since most people don't bother to put Opener on the dock it just never becaome an issue anyway. Moreover, I think 85-90% of Opener users never noticed its packing/archiving abilities! It paid for itself in its un-archiving abilities alone. (Opener was and still is freeware, BTW...!) Now that I've rationalized my laziness :-) the good news is that whether you have Opener on your dock or not, double-clicking on a file which Opener understands will always cause it to launch and try to unarchive the file. And dragging files onto its running icon (not on the dock) will always cause it to ask you what you want to do with them.

I've completed a Rhapsody/OpenStep application, OpenUp, that does what Opener.app does. It supports many of the formats that Opener does, (certainly all that are even remotely likely to be encountered) and also offers a Services interface to compression of files. It hass finished a third round of beta tests this last weekend, and will be released shortly, along with the source code, and a technical article on Stepwise addressing some of the design issues.

NeXTStep used VFS in all it's versions. VFS stands for Virtual File System, a simple filesystem abstraction layer originally introduced in the early 1980s to extend filesystems onto networks. VFS consists of a simple API, and a couple of data structures. One of the structs is a bag of function pointers, filled in with a specific file system implementation. NeXT's DOS and HFS filesystems were dynamically loaded into the kernel on demand, and hooked in through the VFS mechanism. The HFS implemtation was buggy (No suprise. Any third party trying to implement a vendor-specific filesystem clone from a spec will hit similar problems.) I expect that an implementation based on genuine Apple code will appear to replace it.

The best solution right now is to use Suntar and a floppy disk: <ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de//pub/mirror/info-mac.org/cmp/sunt ar-213.hqx> is one URL for Suntar. Open Suntar. Insert a floppy (formatted or not, it doesn't matter, but any existing files will be destroyed) From the Write menu, choose Create new archive. Then choose Write data fork and select your gzipped files. End with End of Writing from the Write menu. Quit Suntar. Reboot into Rhapsody. (You may want to log in as root) Open Terminal.app. cd into the directory into you wish to extract the files. Insert the floppy. A warning panel will come up. Ignore it (but don't close it) and click back into the Terminal.app window. In Terminal.app type "tar -xfv /dev/rfd0b" to extract the files from the floppy. Thanks to Stefan at <svwa@muc.de> for this method as well as the pointers about hfsUtils (below). I have used this method to move files to Rhapsody with great success, including the hfsUtils package from Robert Leslie <rob@mars.org> which is at <http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/> This package allows one to access hfs volumes using command-line commands from Terminal.app. Not elegant, but it works. You can copy files from hfs volumes to Rhapsody and back. If you need additional help with the hfsUtils let me know. > i thought the original openstep OS supported HFS volumes? It did. DOS volumes, too. > why would > apple cut this out of the developer release for rhapsody? Seems inconceivable, huh?

Since X-Windows requires a lot of bit-blitting, and since the speed of bit-blitting under OPENSTEP can be improved vastly if the color depths match, maybe it helps if you play with the Co-Xists color setting. (Sorry, it's been a few years, and I don't remember details. I remember that you could set the X Windows color model in the preferences menu though.)

This must be a leftover of a bug I introduced in 2.0b6 Smilies `factory' default. It is is fixed in 2.1 but once it's in the defaults database the default isn't repaired automatically :-/ You can fix this yourself by either replacing the "}-\)" regexp with "}-)" in the Smiley Definitions table (in Preferences [Options] -- double-click the table cell to start editing.) Or you can "dremove Mail Smilies" in a Terminal shell window, and quit-and-restart mail to restore the, now correct, `factory' setting.

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.

I've just successfully upgraded to OpenStep 4.2 from NS3.1. I have the same hardware you have and if you have sufficient RAM, you will find that the opportunities for new software far outweigh the MINOR NS3.3 speed advantage with older apps. With OS4.2, I would strongly suggest a minimum of 32Mb RAM with 64Mb preferred. Also, with NS3.3 you will lock yourself into OmniWeb 2.0 since OmniWeb 3.0 requires OS4.2. I have not noticed ANY compatibility problems with 4.2 and my Turbo Color NeXTStation. Everything runs as smoothly as it ever did. If only I could say the same for my Wintel boxes! You can purchase a copy of 4.2 from Rob at Black Hole, Inc. for $199 for the 4.2 OpenStep User. A bit less if you qualify for the educational package.

I'm running OS4.1 on a Micron PII 266. I've disabled the second serial port in the BIOS, and an internal USRobotics 56k, is set to COM2 IRQ3. COM1 is set to IRQ4. All this information matches in Configure.app. I followed all the instructions in Gatekeeper, and when it tries to dial I get an error taha says someting to the effect the it couldn't open /dev/cub, no such device. Actually I get that error scrolling through the console window about 500 times.(I guessing, no I didn't count.) I checked the file /dev/cub does exist (as does cua, cufa, and cufb. What is the f?) I also tried the command: echo "ATDT" >/dev/cub and I got a "Device does not Exist" kind of error. I tried the same command three more times, but substituted cua, cufa, cufb which suggests that either mach is not seeing my serial ports, or I'm forgetting something vital. I checked that the above command is correct, by putting the tty of the shell window, and that did work (It printed ATDT.) Like I said this doesn't sound like a PPP or gatekeeper issue, has anyone else experienced this?

The NeXTDimension can't be compared with the TurboColor, Co-Xist runs * r e a l l y s l o w l y * on the ND... The only way I could get it to be usable was to set Co-Xist preferences to Monochrome, and then it ran pretty well. For what I needed, this was sufficient, but if you need color, stay away from the ND! It must have been too difficult (and too little return on investment) to optimize for NeXTDimension (which is also, I'm guessing, why CubX doesn't support it at all). Scott

An entry is made in usr/adm/lpr-err that indicates the print job was sent. JetPilot appears to work as well but nothing happens. Is there some trick with the install paths, or parallel port settings. I am at a loss. Spooler? I am on a single user Intel 486 machine attempting to print on an HP 820 Cse Deskjet.

Browsing over the Control Panel of my old Powerbook 100 I noticed a little gadget CDEV called 'I am Batman', a control panel which installes a new event handler. This event handler waits for a defineable key sequence and then plays a defineable sound. I had a few minutes spare time and wrote a little DPS hack which does the same on NeXTSTEP/OpenStep and Rhapsody (verified, thanks to Andrew Stone :)) You can download the file from http://www.this.net/~frank/sndeve1.ps If you do not change it (open it in Edit, there are comments inside) the trigger string is 'Batman' and it plays the 'Paper is jamed in your printer...' sound as soon as you type it. It installs itself permanently in the DPS system until reboot or logout and works for all applications. Of course it is only a hack - if it should do any harm (I am not aware of any problems, but who knows...) you are the only one to give the blame. Have fun! -- * Frank M.

Most of us in this newsgroup who program in Obj-C, pretty much use the tools available to us on our operating system, which is not DOS, but Nextstep/Openstep. Our Objective-C compiler is based on GNU's gcc.

I'm having a hard time getting JPEG's (from a digital camera, embedded in a *PostScript* file (produced using Create under OpenStep 4.0) to print well under Windows 95. They look fine on the screen under OS4.0, but print rather dark under W95 when embedded in a PDF or PostScript file. (By tweaking color correction options for the Tektronix Phaser 560 Extended target printer, I can get roughly OK results, but mid-range colors are still somewhat too dark and a tad greenish.) This appears to be a gamma problem, although even gray fills are a bit dark under W95. Most *bitmap* image apps under W95 have a provision for changing the gamma of the file at print time, but my problem is with PostScript. I'd *rather* avoid monkeying with the JPEGs, since they LOOK fine under OpenStep, and I'd be working blind, having to wait to boot under W95 to see what I've done. Ironically, they look AND print fine under W95, but I don't like the layout tools I (don't) have under W95 and love Create. Here are two simple questions: 1. Is there a way to adjust the overall gamma factor of a PostScript file? (Or at least the bitmaps embedded in it?) 2. Barring that, is there a protocol for sytematically preserving the apparent gamma values of bitmaps when they're transferred from OpenStep to W95? (Some W95 apps actually define increasing gamma as boosting mid-range brightness...Ugh.) Many thanks! -- David M.

Distribution: world Message-ID: <66q7j8$8vj$1@leol.net-link.net> Hello, I am running LaTeX 2.09 on a monochrome slab running NS3.2 (while listening to the Doobie Brothers and wearing bell bottoms! Man, do I need to catch up to the rest of the world! :-) But seriously, I am looking to upgrade my TeX/LaTeX distribution. However, I've not kept up on the NS/TeX world and have many questions. First, I am clear that I need teTeX 0.4 (looks like the newest version) and LaTeX2e. It also appears that I need a new TeXview and TeXMenu and maybe even a new dvips. The confusion comes in when I try to figure out the best way to do this. I'm looking at ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de:/next/Text/tex/ and find the following 1. a teTeX distribution with LaTeX2e 2. two programs that are LaTeX2eBase and LaTeX2ePackages 3. new TeXview apps with different features and something called "kpathsearch-enabled." 4. TeXmenu5.0pre-English which works with LaTeX2e. My questions are 1. Do I need #2 if I have #1? 2. Since it looks like you can't have HypterTeX and multi-document features at the same time with the anti-aliasing does anyone have an opinion on which is more useful? 3. What is kpathsearch? Something new in teTex, I'm guessing. 4. Has anyone heard from Harald Schlangmann? I've e-mailed him a couple of times about TeXmenu 4.1, but have not gotten any response. I assume he's moved on, but is he going to do a "final" version of TeXmenu? 5. What is NeXTTeXUp? I guess I'm not sure what the NeXTTeX.pkg is/was. and finally, 6. Does anyone want to sell me a version of Openstep 4.x pretty cheap so that I can get into the late 90's? :-) If I don't hear from anyone, then I'll muddle through this, but it would be much nicer with some advice. Thank you. Chuck Kincaid

When I go to print out the ..dvi file, the fonts in the .eps file are being substituted by a default font. The .eps file looks fine when directly printed to the printer It is only when it is encased in the .ps file that is generated when printing that the substitution occurs. I am using a HPLJ 5M with Postscript. I believe the problem is that the font information needed in the eps files isn't being put in the comments of the overall .ps file that is generated. I tried to put the fonts in by hand and it seemed to work. I'm not sure if this is a common postscipt problem, or a problem with latex, or a problem with my printer. Probably a latex problem. The same thing happens on my NeXTSTEP unix system using tetex and my Win95 system that uses pctex32. Is there a command on the win95 side that would allow the postscript that is generated to look into the eps files and get the fonts that are needed there and include these fonts in the preamble of the ps file. On the nextstep side, I believe there is a command called ps_prepare or something that can be run as a service. Does anyone know what this command is?

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.

Presently I have the PC set up so I can dial in from the Cube (I have two phone lines). The PC also can dial into my ISP, using the same login I use for the Cube, but it is only a local line, and I would prefer to just use the Cube for outside connections. If this helps, what I want to do is, of course, transfer files, but I also want to use the Cube to provide mail service for the PC. I have heard that the PC is pretty bad for mail.

I don't know if you're using ToyView.app. This package lets you adjust brightness and save images in a variety of formats : ps, gif, jpeg. Runs under NeXTSTEP I think under OPENSTEP too. Also, if you're looking to convert the images to .pdf format I highly recommend Frank Siegert's PStill.app. For private use the license is a great deal at 30$. Converts ps to pdf beautifully.

Assuming none of the above works for you there is another set of UNIX utilities, netpbm, designed for manipulating PGM image files. You can get the distribution from peak or the source from several places off the net. The netpbm stuff is great but there is a learning curve. Install that and apropose the man pages for gamma.

If you have an option that will use bsd4.3 (e.g. SUN OS4.x), try that. As for the uname, there isn't one in OPENSTEP 4.x. You can only try to substitute it (see how it is called, perhaps it just asks for the machine's name, in which case you can use the gethostname() library. For most of the other uname replies, you could pass constants. (You should have the /usr/include/bsd/utsname.h file which contains the definition of the uname structure: #define _SYS_NAMELEN 32 struct utsname { char sysname[_SYS_NAMELEN]; /* Name of OS implementation */ char nodename[_SYS_NAMELEN]; /* Name of this node in a network */ char release[_SYS_NAMELEN]; /* Release level of OS implementation */ char version[_SYS_NAMELEN]; /* Version level of OS implementation */ char machine[_SYS_NAMELEN]; /* Hardware name */ }; ) So, a replacement for uname might look like: int uname(struct utsname *name) { static struct utsname *un = NULL; if (!un) { un = (struct utsname *)malloc(sizeof(struct utsname)); if (gethostname(un->nodename, _SYS_NAMELEN) < 0) return -1; strcat(un->sysname, "NEXTSTEP"); strcat(un->release, "4.2"); strcat(un->version, "Lantern5V"); if (!strcmp(__ARCHITECTURE__, "i386") strcat(un->machine, "I386"); else if (!strcmp(__ARCHITECTURE__, "m68k") strcat(un->machine, "MC680x0"); else if (!strcmp(__ARCHITECTURE__, "sparc") strcat(un->machine, "SPARC"); } return 0; } -Robert -- Institut fuer Informatik tel +41 (0)61 321 99 67 Universitaet Basel fax. +41 (0)61 321 99 15 Robert Frank Mittlere Strasse 142 rfc822: frank@ifi.unibas.ch (NeXT,MIME mail ok) CH-4056 Basel X400: S=frank;OU=ifi;O=unibas;P=switch;A=arcom;C=ch Switzerland

When you do so the new frameworks are mapped into memory and some serious paging begins. (Or do you have more than 32MB of RAM?) Also, the new text objects seem to be so CPU consuming that you can 'outtype' the system at even a moderate typing speed. This means that both, maximum size of memory and CPU power of a black machine are not really up to the requirements for serious OpenStep development.

I have a memory of a release note saying that this version could automatically the presence of ADB and adapt accordingly. Of course the fact that a normal application like a word processor cares what kind of keyboard you have might have something to do with WP's poor performance in the NeXTSTEP marketplace. It probably has more to do with the fact that you could run NS2.x (I think it was) on ADB machines, but you couldn't ask the OS whether you had an ADB keyboard, and some of the keycodes _were_ different. I seem to recall it was mostly on the keypad. Stuart had to have an ADB switchbox for a version or so about that time. NS3.0 (again, I think that was it) had a system call which would let you know what keyboard you were working with. This was mostly a problem with programs which needed to know _precisely_ which key was pressed - for instance, Alternate-modified keys didn't present a sensible code for reverse mapping (Alt-a and Alt-b weren't adjacent), but if you knew certain things about the raw keycodes, you could do it.

This is a post I made quite some time ago. Perhaps this will be useful Subject: Powering-up Black Hardware Without a Monitor Yes, it *is* possible to run your Black hardware without a monitor. The trick is just to get the NeXT to power on, and boot correctly. This is a rewrite of an older FAQ item attributed to "The Onyx Kitten" <onyxcat@pictor.unm.edu> who no longer is at this mail address. The only reason for redoing this is to make clearer what exactly needs doing and report my personal experiences in this process. My thanks to Justin Sowers <jsowers@lehman.com> for his insight and assistance. HARDWARE SETUP The task is to build a DB-19 male plug to replace the DB-19 cable coming from your Black monitor. You can also use the more common DB-25 male plug as a replacement, but you will need to crimp (or remove) the pins on the right-hand side of the DB-25 so they are not in the way. An easily obtainable parts list is as follows: Radio Shack SKU# Qty. Description Price (as of 03/96) ------------------------------------------------------------------ 275-1556 1 2 pack Push-button switches $1.99 271-1317 1 5 pack 470 Ohm, .25 Watt resistors 0.49 276-1549 1 Grey housing for DB-25 connector 1.19 276-1429 1 25 pin male D-sub connector 1.99 Total: $5.66 + tax If you are a stickler for exact parts then you can order DB-19 connectors from: Gateway Electronics of St. Louis, San Diego, and Denver 1-800-669-5810 314-427-6116 VOX 314-427-3147 FAX http://www.gatewayelex.com for $1.50/ea. (as of 3/96). Minimum order for mailing: $10. Many thanks to Carl Lowenstein <cdl@helium.ucsd.edu> for the pointer to this one.

This assembly should then be wired across pins 6 and 19 of the DB-25 shell. If you have an older cube (030 motherboard) then you will need to be sure that the box draws more power than just for the motherboard in order for the machine to stay on. This can happen in ONE of two ways- 1) You have a disk drive, or other power-drawing internal peripheral connected and in use (not that uncommon), -or- 2) You connect a POWER resistor (20 Ohm, at least 20 Watt) across pins 12 and 13 (as labeled for the DB-19 diagram). I do not recommend the power resitor approach, as the resistor gets _very_ hot and remains an active circuit for the time the machine is on. Note: Older NeXT cubes will most likely add the power resistor to get the machine to power up without a monitor. NeXTStation and 040 cube owners do not have to worry about the idiosyncrasies of the older NeXT power supplies. Here's the circuit: \ Momentary push __ \__ | | | | 470 Ohm $ | | | | | v v To DB-25 pins: 6 19 The soldering involved (resistor to switch terminal & connector pin, and wire to switch terminal & connector pin) takes maybe 10 minutes and is not very technical as the pins are individual so you can attach them to your assembly before you put them into the plastic framework the holds them together as a DB-25 (if you are using the RadioShack parts list above). The power resistor mentioned in the FAQ turns out to be unnecessary if you have anything else in the cube that draws power (a disk, etc.). All of this fits nicely into a plastic DB-25 housing with the pushbutton sticking out where the cable would normally exit. NeXT Cube owners will need to shave down the left (as drawn in illustration) side of the housing inorder to get the "dongle" to fit (the monitor port is at the very bottom of the motherboard and doesn't afford much clearance past the securing screwmount). SOFTWARE SETUP You'll need to be sure your NeXT ROM Monitor settings are correct and that your O/S is ready to run without a monitor. To start, go into the NeXT ROM Monitor (press Command-Command-~) and set the current configuration settings (from "p" in the boot monitor) like this: boot command: whatever DRAM tests: yes perform power-on system test: yes sound out tests: no SCSI tests: no loop until keypress: no verbose test mode: no boot extended diagnostics: no serial port A is alternate console: yes <- recommentation allow any ROM command even if password protected: whatever allow boot from any device even if password protected: whatever allow optical drive #0 eject even if password protected: whatever A few people report they needed to do nothing more on a Cube (level of OS unknown). In my experience on a NeXTstation (NS 3.2), it was necessary to make these changes in /etc/ttys: console "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" NeXT on secure #console /usr/lib/NextStep/loginwindow NeXT on secure window=/usr/lib/NextStep/WindowServer onoption="/usr/etc/getty std.9600" ttya "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown on secure ttyb "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown on secure A WORD TO THE WISE I would recommend that before you do anything, you make sure you get serial port A working as an alternate console. You can do this with a simple null-modem serial cable connection to a DOS machine running kermit (or other simple-minded terminal emulator). If your black box gets a kernel panic (like mine) and you have disabled the console in /etc/ttys, you might be left in a state where you must re-install to get your machine back up. It seems prudent to always have a serial console solution in case something serious happens and you need to be able to see what is going on. Don't forget that you should remove any printer that is configured for serial port A if you are also using serial port A as an alternate console or serial tty. BOOTING WITHOUT A MONITOR Once the DB plug is built, the ROM Monitor settings are correct, your serial A port console works, and /etc/ttys is correct, then simply power down the NeXT, remove the DB-19 monitor cable, attach your new DB plug and press the momentary switch/button. The box should power on and go through its normal boot sequence. You'll see ROM Monitor messages on the console on serial port A (you are using one, aren't you?). CAVEAT EMPTOR I've tried to be very careful about these instructions, but maybe I missed something, or maybe your situation is somehow different from mine. I might be able to say something that will be helpful, but maybe not. All in all, you are on your own, so be careful. In any case I am not responsible for what you do to your own hardware. -- ================================================================ Terry Gliedt tpg@hps.com http://www.hps.com/~tpg/ Software Toolsmiths For all your Internet programming needs

I dealt with Wordperfect when Novell still owned it. They told me that the master disks were gone. However, they were quite pleasant otherwise. They said as far as they were concerned, anyone who is legally licensed for *any* version of the NS version of WordPerfect can upgrade from a friend. No problem. I suppose now that Corel owns it, I wonder if permission is needed again... BTW: so far, with all the Word processing apps I have, WP, WriteNow, and Openwrite, WP is by far my favorite. -- Headers purposely screwed to avoid spam: rworne(at)primenet(dot)com //-----------------------------------------------------------------// Starving CS Undergrad: "Sorry, I don't do Windows I'd rather starve!" //-----------------------------------------------------------------// Visit my videogame collecting site! http://www.primenet.com/~rworne/

Sort of -- if you could manipulate every look and feel choice of your GUI, then "a theme" is one saved state/instance of your choices. Copeland was supposed to come with a rather powerful theme manager that would allow you to do everything from some high tech next-ish Themes (dunno if it allowed you to change menu-bar orientation/location or not, but in terms of the look of windows and such), to themes that looked like something out of the flintstones by allowing you to modify the bitmaps used by each widget, their location in the window, and possibly their behaviors as well. Some past issues this year of Mac Tech had some examples. It looked neat, esp. if it really could allow every configuration possability from NeXT GUIs (3.3 and pre-4.0) to Mac to possibly even Windows or CDE.

In mutual defense of the products mentioned above, let me say this: when the volume on a platform is measured in the low tens of thousands, with potential customer bases in the hundreds or thousands, you are not going to see the kinds of software investments necessary to keep up with the products targeted to customer bases in the millions. Simple economics. Perhaps Rhapsody will change the economics, but not for at least another twelve months. Again, you do the math.

The book is called "3-Tier Client/Server at Work" (John Wiley & Sons), and I have permission to distribute an excerpt which summarizes the top ten lessons Edwards learned from studying these companies. Three-tier client/server applications are quickly replacing the older 2-tier model. The number and size of these applications is growing exponentially with the increasing desire of companies to tap into the Internet. Yet many firms treat their 3-tier strategies like trade secrets, making it difficult to get good design advice. "3-Tier Client/Server at Work" provides an inside look at some of the largest applications ever developed, including Wells Fargo's CORBA suite (900,000 end-user transactions per day) and the U.K. Employment Service's labour management system (6.8 million transactions per day). Also covered are 3-tier developments at 3M Healthcare, AT&T, MCI, PeopleSoft, EUCARIS, and Apple Computer. If you like the distilled version of Edwards' book, you might want to get the case histories to see how she arrived at her "Ten Commandments of 3-Tier Success." To get the excerpt, just send mailto:IPS@olympus.net with the subject line, "Send 3-Tier" and I'll reply with the file. Thanks.

I have a feeling that it's not, as long as SoftPC for NeXT with Windows is still for sale somewhere. A year ago, I wanted to get the driver, and found that Insignia wouldn't do anything to help me, even though I just wanted a stupid license number. "We don't support that platform," they said. But I decided not to use someone else's license string, especially since I knew that there were still shrinkwrapped copies of the software for sale (for $299, I think). Anyone know the status for this product, and what the law says? I'm not going to condemn others for not following the letter of the law, but I want to do the right thing.

If you use solidThinking you'll know exactly what I mean. Also I've moved up to 1600x1200.. A very nice change from spinning wheels. Don't be afraid to be assimilated white has come a long way folks. Just make sure to get supported cards..

Okay, there's a patch to /usr/lib/NextStep/windowPackage.ps that will allow you to rotate through NeXTSTEP windows (in 3.x at least, can't say 'bout later versions), making each one of them Key (that is, the 'current window'). The rotation properly ignores panels and miniaturized windows. You rotate through by pressing: Command-Alternate-UpArrow or Command-Alternate-DownArrow I include a patched file below; I disclaim any warranty as to whether or not it'll blow up your computer, so I HEAVILY suggest you back up your original /usr/lib/NextStep/windowPackage.ps file!!!!! _____________________________________________________________________________ Sean Luke Spam Must Die!

Please respond to tstrang@vengrp.com First you must understand that there are NextStep applications and OpenStep applications. They use different APIs. OpenStep is the later API and will be in Apples Rhapsody product. NextStep applications would first have to be ported to the OpenStep API. Next supplied a developement tool that was suppose to make this easier and quicker. OpenStep Enterprise is a layer available for WinNT & Win95. It is suppose to allow you to very easily compile your OpenStep code for Windows. Since I'm still using NextStep 3.3, I haven't had experience with the OpenStep tools. Apples Rhapsody will allow you to develope OpenStep applications for Apples new OS on PPC & Intel, and on WinNT & Win95. Don't know if they will end up supporting Sun. Darren www.bcog.org/~dreely

The speed seems pretty good, especially with older applications which don't use the new text objects. Some of the Openstep apps have an almost maddening delay when I click on a menu button at first. This is a rather preliminary impression though, have only been using it for two days now. Have 40MB RAM (up from 32--thanks Mark!) Some observations though: I don't like the new disk packaging--feels flimsy--it doesn't hold the floppy disk in as nicely as the NS 3.0/1 digipaks which I have. I'm very irritated by the new white icons. There really should be a preference button somewhere, or an association with a driver or something to set which icons get used. It'd be nice, if for example, laptop vendors created special icon sets, etc. There's a script somewhere that fixes this I believe. I miss TeX and Oxford's--need to load them from my old disks.

This was formerly a UNC machine, and doesn't boot directly to the desktop. It tries to make a network connection, then with the 'c' command, it puts me into the ROM Monitor, from which I've tried to boot using variations on 'NeXT>bsd' and 'NeXT>bsd -s'. My problem is this leads me to the desktop logon ID & password screen...and of course, I've no idea of the valid users & pass- words set up on it. I can get around the UNIX directories, but don't know enough to add myself as a user or disable the security. Any pointers on how to get in, or links to web doco would be most appreciated, as I am anxiously awaiting playing with my new toy!

I encountered this error several time with ps files from a Mac. It looks likeTeX has a maximum line width and if it doesn't find a newline it tries to read the whole file into a line and .... If you find extremely long lines then there's your problem. You could try a tr '\015' '\010' < pg165.ps > pg165new.ps on it. (Sorry, I don't have a Mac file around so I don't really know if the above command is correct). Or you could use GNU recode if you have it installed.

Unfortunately, that's almost all of the hard facts that I'd like to have for proper diagnosis (i.e. config of all the peripherals, esp. the disk drives). I see you have at least two hard disks. The second one of which is a Quantum3 drive that has considerable media errors). You must first try to correct this problem by replacing the sector(s) by means of 'reasb' or by low level formatting by means of 'disk' (refer to the man-pages for details). The error message that says you should run fsck manually is inappropriate. It comes from a higher level (ie. the filesystem) that has no proper knowledge of the situation (ie. a media error). 'fsck' will most likely always fail on you unless the media error is cleared. In case you consider a followup posting: please include a full description of all of your peripherals on the SCSI chain, at least as far as you know. Give all device types, SCSI-IDs, partitioning info and what else you have on your mind. That makes guesswork much more easy. > I have tryed to run fsck manualy ie I have typed > > onyx2:1# fsck /dev/rsd2a > onyx2:2# usr/etc/fsck /dev/rsd2a > onyx2:5# /usr/etc/fsck -P -b 1d000H -y /dev/rsd2a > onyx2:6# /usr/etc/fsck -P -b 118784 dev/rsd1a > onyx2:13# /usr/etc/fsck -P -b 59238 -y dev/rsd1a > > in a teminal window.

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).

Any suggestions? I've been using PopOver for a long time now and until this week I can't say that was a common problem. Currently I'm using version 1.5. I'm about to upgrade to 1.6 just in case it solves _any_ problems. I suspect that the problem lies with my ISP. I get alot of disconnects via lack of LCP packet response, and sometimes DNS seems to come & go. I don't recall having this big a problem with my old ISP. I'll be calling them soon on this and another possible problem. For you Canadians reading this, my current provider is Internet Direct. Darren www.bcog.org/~dreely

I'd love EquationBuilder or its equivalent to be available for Rhapsody. This is by far the best equation editor I've used on any platform (and I've tried a lot).

So, I am stuck with a dated OS (NSFIP 3.3), along with an unsupported word processor (with no upgrade path since no other word processors import OW files). This is really upsetting.

Another aspect of this being a NeXTSTEP feature is that it's cycling thru *all* windows, not just Terminal.app windows. I'd suggest that you check out Stuart.app, which is an alternative to Terminal.app that has many nice features in it. Among those extra features are a number of things that you can do with via the keyboard if you wish.

I tried to put the fonts in by hand and >it seemed to work. Here's one possibility (unfortunately, there are several). It bit me a while ago. When you print an eps file directly from your NeXT box, it uses a local printer description file to determine what fonts are already in your printer, and adjusts the postscript file accordingly. But TeXview.app and latex don't do this properly; they use their own hand-hacked print system. An easy workaround is to try the following: Get LaTeX to print out the file to some foo.ps file open foo.ps using Preview.app Call up the Print panel in Preview.app Press the "Save" button Choose "PostScript for Chosen Printer" Save the file as bar.ps Close the foo.ps window open bar.ps up *again* in Preview.app Print the bar.ps file to your printer _____________________________________________________________________________ Sean Luke Spam Must Die!

Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 22:25:55 PST Organization: Email PLATINUM Message-ID: <67nb14$b98$10503@winter.news.erols.com> The wallet sized Phantom(tm) from RMR is the first device to combine a radar detector and a laser/radar scrambler in a single compact unit. It offers state of the art radar detection against X, K, Ka and instant-on radar guns Plus the ability to render vehicles electronically invisible to waiting police cars through a passive jamming technology that is perfectly legal.The Phantom's scrambler does exactly what its name implies; it scrambles any signal it receives. When receiving a radar signal, the unit mixes it with an FM chirp and bounces it back at the police car via waveguide antenna,effectively confusing the computer inside the radar gun. It always transmits an infrared beam, so as to convert and jam the almost instant effect of a laser Lidar unit. As a result, a car protected with the Phantom is invisible to police equipment. A custom integrated circuit provides complete coverage over the entire Doppler range, preventing telltale "holes" that will cause a vehicle to show up on police equipment at certain speeds. The scrambler has a 2-3 mile (3-5 km) range that gives you time to moderate your speed before you hit the 100-foot (30 meters) danger zone where your vehicle may become visible. The Phantom's radar detector protects drivers over a 4 mile (6.5 km) range with advanced features such as a mute switch, a City switch to reduce the detectors sensitivity to prevent easy interference from other sources, and a VG-2 circuit that acts as a shield against police radar detector detectors. Pricing : 1 unit US $295.00, 2 - 5 units US$ 280.00 f.o.b. Baltimore, Maryland. For qty pricing please contact us.

Please excuse any inconvenience, www.this.net our trusty FreeBSD web server got an update, a new home about 20 miles from its last location and a bunch of new IP addresses. After transporting the hardware we noticed a broken ethernet card and its replacement took some time (...hard to get PC hardware late at night here in Germany).

Message-ID: <683sh7$be$1@brie.direct.ca> References: <19971226232401.SAA14532@ladder01.news.aol.com> Your mention of on .INI file indicates your using one of the Microsoft operating systems. This is a NextStep and OpenStep news group, and the quote from TjL is for these systems. Tell us what system your trying to install kermit on and where did you get the version of kermit and it's documentation. The .kermrc file is where you place commands to set up kermit to the defaults you personally want, including new commands like pppd in the example. When you start kermit under a user name, it looks in the users top directory for .kermrc and executes what it finds. There is a .kermdial file that can contain a name, phone number and other information to set the connection properly for a given number. At the C-Kermit> prompt type help. For help on the dial command type help dial. To start kermit, you can double click on it, or start up terminal.app and type kermit at the prompt. This is what TjL meant by 'call "kermit"'. Both methods will read the .kermrc file.

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).

Then it asked for phone # to dial and I provided and hit the "Dial" button. After a few seonds, it returned "process terminated" and lefe me with a deal terminal. That's all I get from manual dialing. The phone number never gets dialed, even not attempted. I have no way to know what went wrong. Is it possible that GateKeeper 2.1 is supposed to work with ppp2.2, not ppp2.3?

The User release has a suggested price of US$799 and the Developer release suggested price is US$5000. Rob Blessin of Black Hole Inc is the only company I'm aware of selling OpenStep products. He is also getting rid of older version stock, so you may want to phone and see what he has available. His numbers are; PH 303-741-9998 Fax 303-741-9997. Another place to look is the news group comp.sys.next.market where people sell older versions usually. I asked if it was possible to run 4.1 Developer on top of 4.2 user, and the reply was it didn't work. This would mean getting the same version under OpenStep. Darren www.bcog.org/~dreely

A workaround solution is as follows: Get the 3.3 User CD and copy /NextLibrary/Services/NeXTspell.service/services to /NextLibrary/Services/NeXTspell.service/services (note the capitalization) then copy /NextLibrary/Services/NeXTspell.service/nextspell to /NextLibrary/Services/NeXTspell.service/NeXTspell finally, link /NextLibrary/Services/NeXTspell.service/Resources/bindict to /usr/lib/NextStep/Resources/bindict At which point you should have a working OW spellchecker.

Its strange that it managed to send one string to the modem but not another. At the moment I know of a problem with USR modems but that problem prevents all communication with the modem. If you have the develper release and are comfortable with gdb I can try to help you debug the problem. > >Is it possible that GateKeeper 2.1 is supposed to work with ppp2.2, >not ppp2.3?
