If you select the app such as /NextApps/Preview.app and do <command-2> you will get the Contents inspector which will tell you that Preview.app is set only to register for .ps extensions. If you install another app which handles .ps files, it may or may not set itself as the default for that extention. I'm not 100% sure how that works (try .programmer if you really want to know). Most apps can be 'hacked' to change what extentions they are associated with, which is also an FAQ. The short answer is to use SegHoarker and/or a script I wrote called 'hack-ext' which you can find at http://www.peak.org/~luomat/next/mailserver/hack-ext.sh As always, backup before mucking with anything you care about!

We also have a NeXT mono slab running NS 3.2 (I think). The slab used to be able to see an external hard drive attached to the cube, but since we updated the OS, that's no longer true. The machines are part of a non-NeXT network. Neither of them is a NetInfo client or server and that's how we want it. Both of them have entries for each other as seen in HostManager. The cube is exporting a directory via NFSManager and the slab is importing it. Both machines have been rebooted since making those changes. When the slab tries to look in /Net, it does see a directory for the cube. Clicking on that results in an error message on the console on the slab. Unfortunately I don't have the exact error available, but it wasn't complaining about access privileges. Can anyone help me? Please reply via e-mail.

From: far_no@spam.ix.netcom.com(Felipe A. Rodriguez) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.misc,comp.sys.next.software Subject: SUBMISSION GateKeeper 3.0 Beta 2 Date: 31 Dec 1997 22:14:03 GMT Organization: Netcom Message-ID: <68eg3b$3a1@sjx-ixn10.ix.netcom.com> SUBMISSION GateKeeper 3.0 Beta 2 GateKeeper 3.0 is an integrated GUI control and PPP package. RELEASE NOTES This is an early, experimental Beta. Minimal testing has been done on Intel hardware running 4.2 User with a SupraSonic modem. Building the source distribution requires NS 3.2/3.3 Developer. It should work with NS 3.2->4.2 User. This release is self contained and will not affect prior releases of GateKeeper or PPP if you install it in a different folder. In this release GateKeeper and the integrated PPP daemon communicate in a peer to peer fashion as necessary via Mach RPC (prior releases parsed the PPP log stream). This allows GateKeeper to dynamically alter the behavior of the running PPP daemon. The current Beta only implements a subset of the planned RPC so many things require the user to stop and start the PPP daemon (from GK) in order for changes to take effect. Central to the operation of this release is "Dial on demand" which I have enabled in the PPP daemon. In fact this release has no "Connect" button beyond it's Manual Dial mechanism. This allows GateKeeper and the PPP daemon to provide the functionality of previous releases while operating independently of each other. For example, if GateKeeper is restarted while a PPP daemon is active it will contact the daemon and resume the peer to peer relationship. The integrated PPP package is based on the NeXT 2.3.1 release of the free PPP as ported by Steve Perkins and others. Significant changes include: GateKeeper.app Architecture has been extensively reworked to support the new model of operation. Preferences now consists of dynamically loaded bundles. PostPPP script execution upon termination of GK and daemon. PPP daemon Dial on demand has been enabled. Mach RPC and communications server thread added. chat Slight mod to overcome cheese ball NeXT POSIX support. Capture and reporting of connection speed via Mach RPC. PPP LKS No changes in this Beta. Testing was done using the PPP2.2 LKS (more stable on my dev system) while this package contains the 2.3.1 LKS. DISTRIBUTION FILES GateKeeper.3.0.Beta.2.s.tar.gz contains a source distribution GateKeeper.3.0.Beta.2.NI.b.tar.gz contains a binary distribution URL's ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/internet/ppp/GateKeeper/GateKeeper.3.0.Beta.2.s.tar gz ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/internet/ppp/GateKeeper/GateKeeper.3.0.Beta.2.NI.b. tar.gz ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/comp/platforms/next/Communication/apps/GateKeepe r.3.0.Beta.2.s.tar.gz ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/comp/platforms/next/Communication/apps/GateKeepe r.3.0.Beta.2.NI.b.tar.gz SUPPORT My ability to provide support is very limited. Should you require assistance I will expect you to have the current stable release (2.1) running on your system. During the Beta period I will provide support without charge to those testing the Beta. Upon final release the following will apply: Comments and bug reports are always welcome, but if you would like support the following applies: 1. If you are a non-commercial user and are doing some type of FSF GNU or other freeware work for the UNIX community let me know and we'll call it even. The same is true if you provide software free to single non-commercial users or if you have contributed to the creation of GateKeeper. 2. If you would like E-mail support please register for it by sending in a one time registration fee of $20 USD. 3. If you would like telephone support please contact me via E-mail for details. CURRENT RELEASE The current Beta release of GateKeeper is version 3.0 Beta 2 The current stable release of GateKeeper is version 2.1 FEATURES -- Dial on demand. -- Manual Dial and login to a ppp provider without a script. -- Compound document format for storing information necessary to access an Internet Service Provider. -- GUI document editor (partially implemented) -- Toolbar control -- Idle timeout with sound warning. -- Execute and check exit status of a preLink and a preUnLink script prior to the respective operation. -- displays pppStats -- Redial. -- App Icon session timer. -- Tri-state animated icon provides status feedback. -- Captures and displays connection information BUGS If you are using the GK 2.1 stable release you must switch the PPP log from a FIFO to a file in GK 2.1's preferences. If you want old Gate docs to report connection speed you must add a line to your pppup file like: "REPORT CARRIER". See the enclosed example doc. The documentation does not reflect this Beta release. German localization has been removed from this Beta. If running a local nameserver you should dump it's cache after each PPP session. Comments, bug reports and suggestions should be sent to: Felipe A. Rodriguez 5315 Colodny st. #7 Agoura Hills, CA 91301 far@ix.netcom.com (NeXTmail preferred) (MIMEmail welcome)

The problem is that Omniweb 2.0 and up requires the 3.3 Foundation libraries. A patch for 3.2 is available at NeXTanswers, answer no.2117, as a compressed file. Unfortunately, that still leaves me stuck. My slab is off-line and my only connection to the net is through a Windows NT box. Which means I'm limited in what I can get to my NeXT by the 1.4MB "bandwidth" of a DOS HD floppy. Alas, the 3.3 foundation libraries patch comes it at 1.7MB. So close, and yet so far.... (I tried splitting up the file over two floppies and then reconstituting it, but I end up with a corrupt file.) I'm trying alternative means to obtain the necessary files. If anyone would be willing to volunteer to download the patch onto a NeXT ED floppy and snail-mail it to me, I would be grateful. I can send you an ED disk if you don't have one (or pay for yours or replace it if you do) and pay for postage. I know, it seems medieval, but sometimes one's got to do what one's got to do.

OmniWeb doesn't work on plain vanilla 3.2; it requires the FoundationKit library, which came with 3.3. Fortunately, NeXT has provided the FoundationKit library free with WebObjects for 3.0/3.1/3.2 owners, so you can install it yourself. See http://enterprise.apple.com/NeXTanswers/HTMLFiles/2116.htmld/2116.html You'll also want a more advanced version of OmniWeb than 2.0.1 (the current best version is 2.5, the latest but not-as-stable version is 2.7b6). See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/2/Download.html You can also still download Omniweb 1.x if you want (it doesn't need the FoundationKit).

If you're running Openstep, you should get LogOn.app (by Mark Trombino). Configuration is extremely simple (for newbies or experts). LogOn can handle your connection "AUTOMATICALLY". See: ftp://wendy.ucsd.edu/pub/Mark/LogOn.README ftp://wendy.ucsd.edu/pub/Mark/LogOn_00.90b.m.NI.tar.gz APP NAME: LogOn WHAT: GUI for PPP.

There were *major* changes between 3.0 and 3.2. The patch WILL work for 3.2 since 3.3 is mainly just a patch of 3.2 with some expansions. 3.2 and 3.1 were very different, and 3.2 and 3.0 are worlds apart. I've seen 3.2 selling for $50.

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. 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.

I still would like to get some info on the other features of the Installer to make sure I didn't miss anything. Right now, it seems to me that most of the installation can be emulated by running the preinstall script, untar'ing with one of the installer_tar* utils, then running the postinstall script. It looks like I can also get by with minimal parsing of the *.info file. Nonetheless, it looks like this will not quite be the same, as using the GUI. (Still the issue of the Receipts, etc...)

I'm not really clear what kind of dual-boot you are talking about. OmniWeb 3.x requires OpenStep 4.2 (or a hack to use it with 4.1). Stone Design's newest Create requires Rhapsody or OpenStep. I'm not sure why you'd want to dual boot OS 4.2 and NS 3.3 unless you are talking about development stuff.

I could swear that I saw a port of a C64 emulator somewhere, but I can't remember the name, author, or even which UNIX emulator was the basis. In fact, I'm fuzzy as to whether the emulator was a C64 emulator or an Amiga emulator...it may well have been the latter! Of course, since I can't remember any details, it may be a figment of my imagination, or perhaps I'm confusing it with some other emulator, like the ZX one. But I have seen emulators that run on NEXTSTEP for the following machines/platforms: Platform NEXTSTEP product/app name -------- ------------------------- Game Boy VGB Apple ][ a2 or zaniWok Sinclair Spectrum NextZX IBM PC SoftPC * Macintosh Executor * * commercial products There are UNIX emulators for a lot of others, but I haven't had time to port any of them. I did look into an Atari 2600 emulator, but I've got too much else on my plate at the moment to do anything with it. Heck, I'd like a few moments to polish off zaniWok. It had/has a lot of potential... unfortunately, it is far from complete at this point. a2 was at least usable...but not super fast. (Admittedly, we did get to where an '040 could run programs faster than the real thing...though the video would tend to lag a little. Page flipping is slower when you have to do a complete blit every time...) > >> --- Play an assortment of MOD files and types.

I don't remember if it did real-time, though. It may convert into /tmp and then play that for all I know. Someone over in Germany wrote it. (Tomi Engel? Frank Seigert?

The problem is that too many of the .mov's on the net use the newer codecs that NEXTIME doesn't support. And there's no .avi support, even though NEXTIME claims the .avi extension.

I have OpenStep/Mach 4.1. Thanks. I am still using NS3.3 and don't know about OS4.2, but I would hope that NeXT kept support for the .addresses files (in ~/Library/Addresses/...). I was always very happy with it. Can you please confirm that that still exists under OS4.2? A useful extension of it is Phone.app from HASC.

The problem, as many people e-mailed me, is that Omniweb 2.x and higher requires 3.3 Foundation libraries. A patch for 3.2 is available at NeXTanswers, answer no.2117, as a compressed file. It is also available at ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/utils/patches/FoundationUserPatch.t ar.gz as a gzip file, which makes it 1.2MB instead of the 1.6MB of the compressed file (This allowed me to resolve my "bandwidth" problem, which is that my only way of getting the patch to my slab was via a DOS floppy.) Anyway, I want to thank again everyone who e-mailed me with suggestions and information. I particularly want to thank Ken at Omniweb for the time he took to help me try to resolve the problem.

This can emulate a VIC20, C64, C128, PET, ... under X. Even the ROMs where availible on the archives (but only for those who had the original C=-Hardware ;-) ). I did not manage it to port x64 to NeXTstep, but I once compiled x64 (not vice) with CoXist (or so) in Demo mode. The emulator worked pretty fine on my NeXTstation. Under Xnext it does not work any more (some color problem) and I did not manage to compile x64 or vice with it, cause I forgot the little tricks...

I have often heard how timing is everything. Posting this question an hour before Steve Jobs' keynote speech at the MACWORLD EXPO where surely Rhapsody/Premier(?) will be the rage on everyone's lips, may mean that I shouldn't expect an answer to my question anytime soon or at all. Nevertheless, I better ask while it is on my mind. I am interested in learning if anyone know whether the last version of WordPerfect published in like March 1994 with the ADB support will run under OPENSTEP 4.2 on black hardware? I have a NEXTstation Turbo Color. I find what I hear about new versions of OmniWeb (3.x), Stone's software, and the like to be compelling reasons to upgrade or even try to set-up the dual-boot thingy with NS 3.3. It would also be nice not to have to use the Windows environment to connect to the Internet in order to learn (because of the different shock and cu-seeme and etc. formats) what is going on with Apple (NeXT). However, I have most of my files in WordPerfect and find that even with its limitations, I can do most of what I would like without a problem. I know that WordPerfect isn't about to be able to run on Rhapsody/Premier I prefer to receive E-mail directly. But you can post a reply and send E-mail both as I will be trying to follow what's going on in S.F. Bay too this week as I work. Sincerely, Brandy Please Don't Spam Me!

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).

Message-ID: <694nk3$frt@sjx-ixn6.ix.netcom.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit APP NAME: LogOn WHAT: GUI for PPP. VERSION: 0.92 beta OS: Openstep for Mach (tested on 4.2 only) (DOES NOT RUN ON NEXTSTEP) PLATFORMS: NeXT, Intel SIZE: 1.8 MB compressed 4.7 MB installed FAT (NeXT, Intel, Sparc) (English & French) 1.53 MB installed for single platform WHERE: ftp://wendy.ucsd.edu/pub/Mark/LogOn_00.92b.m.NIS.tar.gz LogOn is intended for internet users who just want an application that launches and kills PPP which is both simple to install and easy to use. The goal was to provide an app that frees users from having to deal with chat scripts, options files, or pap-secrets files. It is not an application that helps you install PPP or configure PPP, but rather one that (hopefully) shields you from ever having to know the nitty-gritty details of pppd or chat. Using LogOn for the first time is as easy as entering your account name, password and phone number. Afterwards, using LogOn is as simple as saying "I want to connect to Netcom from Home using PPP 2.3" and pressing a button. FEATURES: * Graphic front end to ppp. * Maintains unlimited number of "Accounts": Saves account name, password, server phone number, chat script... Have one for each account you own... * Maintains unlimited number of "Locations": Saves modem initializations, phone prefix/postfix, long distance access codes... Have one for home, one for work, one for school, etc * Maintains unlimited number of "Option" files. (With a GUI, of course!) * To use, just connect a "Server" Location with a "Local" Location and press the LogOn button. * "Autodetect" feature - no chat scripts! * "Autoredial" feature - keeps trying until ppp is active * Launches apps you select automatically when ppp is established * Changes signatures to match your "virtual" location. * Can fetch pop mail for you when ppp is established (You supply a program like popOver) * Can purge mail queue when ppp is established. * Maintains /etc/resolv.conf (if you wish - you can disable this feature). * A clock tracks time on line. * Log Window displays ppp log file (or other you select) * PPP Expert and Novice users - limits access to certain elements of LogOn to experts only. * Users can choose whether to use an external script or LogOn to bring up connection. Likewise to bring down a connection. * Context Help to guide you through the set up process. * Compatable with both pppd 2.2 and pppd 2.3. WHAT'S NEW: Version .92 * Removed pppkill from project. Uses shell script pppdown instead. * New multi-panel Preferences Panel. * Can set time between autoredial attempts. * Dial on startup option * Kill or not kill PPP on shutdown option * If LogOn is killed before it has a chance to restore the filesystem, the next time it is run the user is asked if they wish to restore the filesystem to its previous state. * If PPP is already running when LogOn is launched, it will automatically switch to the connected state. * LogOn files are now readable/writable only by owner. * Passwords in chat scripts are now sent securely - prepended with the /q escape character. * There are now "Send Mail" and "Fetch Mail" menu items. Version .91 * Added French language project (translation by Andre Lalonde <info@scribex.com>). * BUG FIX: LogOn now properly saves whether not not you want to have it issue the command to fetch your mail. Please download it and give it a try. And, of course, please let me know of any comments or suggestions you might have. Thank you for trying LogOn! -- Mark Trombino mtrombin@ix.netcom.com (NEXTMail, MIME Mail okay)

About a year ago, I was running NS3.3 and purchased NXFax along with a Zyxel modem. I was using the latest serial port drivers, but kept getting the following message in my console after installing nxfax: *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device repeatedly, and ad infinitum until I removed the nxfax driver. Since I was only using a single serial port, and on a whim, I tried using the older serial port driver (which supported just one port). To my surprise and relief, this worked, and I had a fax modem since then,... Until yesterday, when I "Upgraded" to Openstep 4.2. Now the only serial port driver options are the newer versions, and I can't get them to work. I am getting the *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device *** : open failed No such device message once again. I have tried a config with a driver for com1 and for com2, using the default address and irq settings, and I have removed com2 so that there was a single serial driver in the config. Nothing works. Any suggestions? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ken Case of OmniGroup suggests applying the NS3.3 patches. This error message indicates that you are using the older Foundation set. The newer one can be found at: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/utils/patches/FoundationUserPatch.tar.gz (This and other helpful OmniWeb tidbits are available from the OmniWeb mailing list... see www.omnigroup.com for more info) > And sometimes (not always): > > Jan 11 15:04:28 timebandit netmsgserver[22]: netname_main.msg_send fails, kr = -102. > Jan 11 15:04:28 timebandit netmsgserver[22]: netname_main.port_type fails, kr = 4." This has something to do with the messaging OmniWeb sends out to see if there are other, unlicensed copies of OmniWeb running on the same LAN at the same time.

So, am I correct in assuming that as things stand now, if I were to upgrade to Rhapsody (once it was available, of course), my current dream set up of TeX/LaTeX will have to be abandoned?

If not, then thats the problem. The thing with W95 wiping out the 3.3 boot manager, can be solved in a different way (than to install W95 first). After having installed W95 and you seemingly only can boot into W95, use fdisk to set the active partition to the 3.3 partition. Now you'll boot into 3.3. In 3.3 you use the disk utility to "install" the 3.3 boot manager again. And you are back to "normal".

I've just set up my NeXT Cube running NS 3.2 to connect to the Internet over PPP from home. I installed the Foundation library upgrade and OmniWeb 2, which is running OK. So, I'm looking for a nice GUI MIME-compatible Mailer which will directly POP3 my mail from my ISP, as well as a nice GUI THREADED newsreader which will, of course, get the news over NNTP. I would have thought that these both would be available, but after checking the FTP sites and FAQ, I can't find them. The best I could see where TIN and PINE w/ POP3, both non-GUI. Is using the POP3 app together with the standard NeXT mail app the best way to go with mail? Am I going to have to revert to using the character-based interface of TIN if I want a threaded newsreader? Many thanks in advance for any help. Since my news setup is new and tentative, any response to my e-mail would be appreciated. Please use ken_worthy at hotmail dot com (Put the address together to mail--I'm trying to avoid spam).

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.

The strict answer has to be: No. Although I understand, that certain drivers are not different at all (video?) between OS4.x and NS3.3, there certainly are drivers which won't run under any chance and will even render your system unbootable if it are drivers for e.g. the EISA-Bus or the like. So if you try, keep a backup-copy of the old driver available, that you can fall back to if anything goes wrong and don't try with drivers, that won't allow you to at least get into single user mode afterwards.

Well, there are times I prefer a GUI tool, but vi works pretty well for little changes. And since I do a lot of work over fairly slow terminal connections, it's nice to have a simple editor. I don't know that I'd learn vi now if I my fingers didn't already know it, but it's a handy tool. And it does a fine job of editting HTML. My husband has commented that it reminds him of going back to nroff days when I hand edit HTML. :-) But for page layout I use PasteUp. And I must say that the OpenStep/ Rhapsody version is better than the last NeXTSTEP version. I don't know if AFS plans to import/export HTML.

From: ahoesch@on-luebeck.de Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.software Subject: ObjectBase for OpenStep (beta release) Date: 22 Jan 1998 08:42:47 GMT Organization: Offenes Netz Luebeck e.V. Message-ID: <6a70q7$fp@merkur.on.on-luebeck.de> SUBMISSION SmartBase 1.0 Beta SmartBase is an ObjectBase for OpenStep ftp.peanuts.org/next/OpenStep/database/application/SmartBase.1.0.Beta.m.I.b.tgz Smartsoft Development is proud to announce the first beta release of SmartBase. SmartBase is an object relational database management system for OpenStep. It's based on NeXT's Enterprise Objects Framework and thus principly could be used with any RDBMS, that's supported by EOF. To overcome the differences in the user- and domainmanagment of the various databases available on the market, SmartBases uses a further database specific adaptor (OB-adapter) realized as a loadable bundle. The current relase of SmartBase only supports OpenBase. Adaptors for PrimeBase, Sybase,... will be available soon. SmartBase is intended to support the development of business applications for OpenStep (Objective-C). The release contains the following: ObjectServer: ============= After creating a connection to the underlying database (OpenBase, PrimeBase, SyBase,...) the ObjectServer process offers its services to client applications via an NSConnection. It is recommended to run this process on the same machine, that is hosting the database to avoid unnecessary LAN traffic. AccountManager: =============== This application is used to create and maintain accounts, groups, domains and access privileges. DomainManager: ============== You use this application to modify the object model of a domain. You can define classes, roles, attributes of various types (BaseType & ClassType) and various categories (Attribute, Reference, History,..). DomainManager automatically modifies the table scheme of the underlying database according to your object model, creates template source code for your objects (Objective-C), acts as a repository for custom object code and for class bundles, allows you to modify a domain model while the domain is in use by other client applications,... OBModler: ========= Same functionality as DomainManager but is independent of the ObjectServer process. It can be used to create obmodels offline, or to support the development of eomodels not intended for SmartBase client applications. Demos: ====== Several demo applications (source) have been included in this release to demonstrate the capabilities of SmartBase. Documentation: ============== A short introduction. SmartBase is built for Intel. You need to have OpenStep 4.2 Mach Developer and EOF 2.1 installed to take full advantage of this product. Moreover you need a RDBMS. This first release only supports OpenBase. See http://www.openbase.com to get a demo version of OpenBase for Mach, before trying to use SmartBase. INSTALLATION Simply untar SmartBase.1.0.Beta.I.tar.gz and install all five packages on your workstation. Read the documentation in /NextLibrary/Documentation/SmartBase for further details. If you encounter any problems or have suggestions regarding the further development of SmartBase, do not hesitate to contact us. We would like to hear from you. For further information, contact: Smartsoft Development Andreas Hoeschler Email: ahoesch@on-luebeck.de Special thanks to Scott Keith from OpenBase Inc. for his kind support!!!

From a recent post somewhere, I read that it is possible to print to the printer by using Ghostscript. Ghostscript works fine and I am able to generate a .prn file by using the command to give an output file, however, to print directly gives me garbage PS code which gets dumped on paper. The .prn file is valid because I can print from the DOS prompt after rebooting. Is there a way to print directly from ghostscript into my old epson? The eps9high driver works fine for .prn? Are there any special considerations or setup requirements? Thank you in advance for any help. Please Remove the capitals from the email address to reply to me: eng60229@NOnus.SPAMedu.sg

Huh? How is that for free? You can download the demo and use it... or find someone who has a license and doesn't want it... or email Stone Design and beg your case.

Is there a version that I can use my NeXTime 1.0 version to play this with sound running with my NS 3.3 Black hardware set-up?

I did a little searching and see that handling ".AVI" files seems to be one of those missing links for us even though I find this hard to believe for such a robust platform. Similarly, and not that I am very anxious to hear what Ol' Billy boy has to say, but I recently (just last night) downloaded the QuickTime clip from Apple's Web Site and could get it to play the sound either. It gave me the following error message. "Cannot play sound from thinkfastmoredifferent.mov. Sound is not available or requires a missing ima4 decompressor."

Message-ID: <6a3fc2$hu3$2@dropit.pgh.net> I picked up this drive from CSC because it was chaep ($295). However, it came with no docs. It turns out it is set for SCSI ID #1, which is great for a Cube internal, but I have no idea if it is terminated or even which jumpers to set to terminate it. Does anybody know the jumper settings for termination and for SCSI ID? I am running NS 3.3. Anyhow, when I try to run sdform on it, it says the drive is 477 Mb. probably because that was the size of the old inernal drive, but it is wrong. Furthermore, after about five hours, sdform croaks. The examples from NeXTanswers, in particular the famous #1533, shows sdform being run on /dev/rsd1a for a 2.7 Gb Seagate drive and the following message appearing: device=/dev/rsd1a block size = 512 capacity = 2777 MBytes Except for 477 instead of 2777 that is what I get. Why don't I get 8400 MBytes? BTW, scsimodes produces the expected results: SCSI information for /dev/rsd1a Drive type: MICROP 1991-27SC2 512 bytes per sector 171 sectors per track 27 tracks per cylinder 4476 cylinder per volume (including spare cylinders) 6 spare sectors per cylinder 81 alternate tracks per volume 17755613 usable sectors on volume I am on the verge of deciding the drive itself is defective. However, I think it may just be something I am doing wrong. If anybody can offer any useful ideas in the next 24 hours I would be most greatful. ----- Bob Peirce Venetia, PA 412-941-6883 me@venetia.pgh.pa.us [HOME (NeXT)] rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us [OFFICE]

When I tried to follow the manual instructions I found there is no "decompress" in the workspace menu. How do I decompress and install them? I'm also new to UNIX. I'm coming from (and still primarily use) OS/2. 2. I have an extra Panasonic DMP in the house and would like to use it, at least for the time being. I did not see any drivers on peak for it. Is it possible to use this printer with the NeXT or will I have to get an ink jet? Or did I just misread things and the driver is there.

SCSI and EIDE run for me together just fine at least since NS 3.3 up to (now) OS 4.2. One thing is very important: in the ordering of the bootdrivers (or active drivers, but (E)IDE and SCSI ususally are bootdrivers) in the System.config/*.table (* being Default and/ or Instance0), the SCSI-driver has to precede(!) the (E)IDE-driver. Otherwise an (E)IDE CD-Drive is detected "too early" and gets e.g. the pseudeo-sd0-name and then the SCSI-driver is confused because it thinks its devices are sd0 up to sd(n). First SCSI, then EIDE guarantees, that sd0 to sd(n) are 'real' SCSI devices and ATAPI-devices (CDs) get pseudos sd(n+1) to (well whatever). This was necessary with NS 3.3 and works with OS 4.2 - I never tried to arbitrarily give OS 4.2 the 'wrong' order, so I can't insist that it is necessary for OS 4.x, too, but I assume it is; didn't want to test if my system gets into chaos (again) :-). Although the ordering is/should be vital and necessary it, most probably won't help you with your SCSI bus resets, as these are a problem of either hardware or the driver not properly working with the adapter/ controler card. : : Any thoughts from anybody else as well? Just these. They might improve your system :-), but not solve your problem :-(, sorry. Greetings, Ruediger Oberhage -- H.-R.

Anyway, I would suggest Opener.app ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/archiveutil/Opener.3.3.N.b.tar.gz FTP that file to the NeXT to your home directory. Launch '/NextApps/Terminal.app' In Terminal.app, type this: gunzip Opener.3.3.N.b.tar.gz && gnutar xvf Opener.3.3.N.b.tar That should leave you with just Opener.app. Put it in the folder /LocalApps and possibly on your dock. Select another .tar.gz (or tar.Z or whatever) file in Workspace and select the menu item 'View' and then the sub-item Update Viewers.

I'm not clear on what other printers a regular NeXT can use.. perhaps someone else will answer. Usually it requires a commercial product, although there is Ghostscript.

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.

After the CD essentials installation, I drop into single user mode and edit /private/Drivers/i386/System.config/Default.table, and take out things like BusMouse, PS2Mouse (I have a serial mouse), PCIC, PCMCIA, and most importantly Intel82x0 something bridge PCI chip driver. I don't have this, and I think this one is the culprit, though BusMouse crashes my friend's Pentium laptop. Then it works like a charm. Only problem now is the SCSI driver... when installed it BTC timeouts infinitely and keeps resetting the bus over and over and over.....All other OS's work, so it can't be the operating system, nor the CPU, and its most likely an oversight on NeXT's part, when mixing SCSI and IDE.

This seems very Catch 22 to me. There is a "Default" configuration which you first boot into, which operates (I'm guessing here) at some very low low resolution (640x480) or something like it which all video cards support, and therefore you can boot that first time with those really low settings (I think you get about 4-5 items on your dock with that resolution!) and then set the proper configs for your video card.

This seems very Catch 22 to me. The initial part of the installation process uses the BIOS to present a simple text interface. The installed software, after the initial phase of installation is complete, is configured to use a dumb VGA display driver. When the initial installation of the base system is first booted, the user is asked to select the proper display driver and other peripherals through a GUI application called Configure.app. Following this, the user can select additional packages to be installed from the CD through the installation GUI.

Does anyone know if the TALUS company still exists? Or what their email address is? Or where to get a full copy? scan v0.91b: This seems to be the most promising candidate, BUT: in its current version it does not detect the UC840! However, the author, John Woodward (woodward@onramp.net), wrote in the help file he might release the source. Unfortunately, so far he did not respond to my emails. John, are you reading this?? Does anyone know of a working email for John? Or where else to get the source so that I can hack it for the UC840?? ScanOmatic.app: I got a timed demo which works great, however, I think the price (twice as much as the scanner) is too much for me. eXTRASCAN.app: Does not suport the UC840. ScanMaker.app (V0.2): Does not suport the UC840. Or is there a newer version?? scan300c (scanner.0.7_sd): does not support the UC840 This is all that i could find. Which driver did I not test? Does someone want to sell me a (used, but no longer needed) diver license? Make me an offer!

YFtp should only do that if you double-click on the file. If you select the file and press 'GET' it should just download it. OmniWeb, by default, passes the file off to Workspace. If there is no app (such as Opener.app) assigned to the extension (such as .tar.gz or .zip) then the Default application (usually Edit.app) will open it. You can override this behavior by holding down the command key before clicking the file you want to download.

I tried the PStill demo, and it works very, very well. I have placed an order. I have a problem that I suspect others might face, and would welcome any suggestions as to migration paths or other solutions. I am a university professor, and have several volumes of course notes that I have built up using OpenWrite as a word processor (along with Create and EquationBuilder to generate the necessary diagrams and equations). I would like to be able to import these into some other word processor, since Lighthouse was purchased and subsequently (seemingly) abandoned by Sun. As others have experienced, it is impossible to get any response out of Sun to questions concerning Lighthouse software. Short of migrating to another WP, I would at least like to be able to begin to make my course notes available on my web page. Unfortuantely, even with its .html export capability, OW makes this difficult, as .eps file display capabilities are not standard on most web browsers (OmniWeb excepted). Even when they are, displaying these files on a remote server requires editing each .html file to identify the appropriate (new) path on the server, and moving all of the graphics files to that directory. I use a lot of graphics and equations in my notes; there will typically be about 5 per page. Since I have about 700 pages of these notes in perhaps 50 seperate files, all of this file management and path editing is far from trivial. I now have one workable solution. Print a file to Save (in .ps format), and use PStill to generate .pdfs. This isn't a very elegant solution, and it requires that I continue to maintain OW to make minor editorial changes, but it is a solution. I hate to say this, but after 8 years of being a NeXT user (I replaced a black and white with the 11th NeXTDimension off the production line, according to the serial number), there are many days now when I regret ever having seen this operating system. It is now truly a love-hate relationship. If only Sun Microsystems would release the OW document format! I just know the folks AFS would be happy to provide a document importer. How are others dealing with the Openwrite dilemma? Constructive suggestions would be much appreciated.

Date: 30 Jan 1998 22:05:06 GMT Organization: University of Nebraska--Lincoln Message-ID: <6atiqi$cv2@crcnis3.unl.edu> I want to begin a discussion on something that is beginning to bother me. The proliferation and creation of frameworks based on common C libraries, like libjpeg, libz, etc... I've already seen at least 2-3 different frameworks in existence already for libjpeg (OmniJPEG, MiscSupport (misckit), Jpeg (already on peak)), libz (OmniZlib, Z (on peak?)), and others (I, personally, have built my own framework versions of these too). Shouldn't there be an effort to build and deliver dylibs/frameworks in a cooperative effort, that will lead to uniting all these different threads of framework creation? Developers should agree on naming conventions, versioning (major AND minor versioning), and maintaining responsibilities. My initial guess that this should/could be handled within the MiscKit project, as I'm sure the MiscKit folks certainly aren't busy enough already (-;.

Well, things do need to be restructured a little bit, but as long as we are keeping these various things in their own subprojects, I'm not sure that I agree with splitting things up into lots of little frameworks. Because frameworks are shared libraries, I don't see too many benefits from splitting them up into zillions of teeny frameworks, other than logical organization. With libraries, splitting them finely allowed creation of smaller executables, of course. In the framework case, we've already got logical divisions with the subprojects. The one big problem that I've had with supporting all the libraries in the NEXTSTEP MiscKit is that when people are too lazy to read the docs and figure out which libs to add to their projects. My e-mail box says there are a LOT of lazy people out there. If there is only one Misc lib to match up with extensions to each of the Apple kits (Foundation, App, EOF, WOF, etc.) then it is really easy for users to figure out which libs to include. (I realize that this is a weak argument for what I propose, since it really rather selfish in that the only person it significantly helps is me... :-) ) Since the next MiscKit release is going to have a total revamping of the project structure--and I am working on it now--if there are specific things you would like to see done differently, please TELL ME NOW! If you have a good idea (or a good argument supporting your idea) you'll probably see it implemented in whole or in part. [BTW, there was supposed to be a release in the Nov-Dec 1997 time frame. I've had some severe hardware difficulties which have prevented that. Now that the hardware seems to settling in and getting stable again, I'm working on thetting the next releases pushed out as fast as I can. I apologize to everyone for the enexpected delays!] Follow ups on how the MiscKit should be organized really belong on the MiscKit mailing lists...but I'll keep an eye open here, too, of course. -- Later, -Don Yacktman don@misckit.com <a href="http://www.misckit.com/don.html">My home page</a>

I recommend to run PStill with the low or medium setting as this is enough for most purposes. The problem with Wills test file was an embedded error handler which hides the error from the user, so his document did not show the problem but simply aborts before the end without further messages. -- * Frank M.

I would recommend that you download more recent versions of all of the third party applications since they have all been substantially improved since they were released (and in the case of OmniWeb, timed out). Many are available at the peak archive site: ftp://ftp.peak.org/pub/rhapsody/ ftp://ftp.peak.org/pub/rhapsody/new_arrivals/ If you want to use OmniWeb, make sure you have all the relevant components and they're installed in the right places...

Are there any suggestions as to how I can transfer files that are too big to fit on a 1.44 meg floppy, from the pc to the slab? For example, if I make a multi-floppy archive with pkzip, can I unzip it on the NeXT? Thanks in advance for any help. PB Schechter pb@colorado.edu

OpenStep apps cannot run under NextStep since the OpenStep run time is not installed on that older system. Darren www.bcog.org/dreely
