XFree86 xterm emulates a vt220 - which may be adequate, maybe not.
Why do you need a vt420? (I know the differences, but don't know of
any Unix applications which require them).

Somewhere on that site is G2 in rpm format. I know, I got and it mostly
works. Don't know what a .bin extension is. I suggest getting the rpm
which may be listed as RH5/6 but should work with Caldera. rpm -e
rvplayer. Then install the new one. There is more to it than one binary,
there are various libs, etc that need to be in the right places. The new
binary is 'realplay', so you'll need to go into 'applications' in NS and
change the realaudio mime type executable from 'rvplayer %s'
to 'realplay %s'.
There are some bugs, and it seems to not like low bandwidth connections,
but it does work to a point anyway.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello everyone,
I face a problem during install StarOffice 5.1 on my RedHat 6.
The message come out :-
"An error occured while unpacking the file libsvx516li.so.
There is probably not enough disk space."
When this message come out, i immediately check for the space left,
it was around 180MB left.
Anyway, installation continue if i click on "Ignore" button.
But i try to run StarOffice, it just show nothing and cannot start the
program at all.
I search for the file "libsvx516li.so", it exist.
Before install, my hard drive space left is around 300MB, and i choose
"Minimum" installation.
I install from console, after the installation finish, an error
message come out :
libsvx516li.so : Bad CRC 5613fbld (Should be 23fa36b9)
I already try on different pc, but it still show the same problem.
Is it something wrong with the .tar file which i download from
StarDivision ?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Apply this patch and it should work
If you are using RedHat 6.0 you may need something else. Before I
upgraded to SuSE I tried it and it failed until I installed the libc5
version. It worked for me without a patch, I use 4-Front software.
G2 is actually the best choice. It worked beautifully for me with
SuSE 6.1 and SuSE 6.2

It is on one of my CDs from SuSE 6.2 as well as Voice dictation,
similar to that of OS/2 I guess. It includes the full SDK for writing
your own voice recognition programs.

Subject: Help compiling Festival (speech_tools)
Date: 3 Sep 1999 01:52:47 GMT
I am trying to install festival, and it says it needs the
speech tools package available from the same site.
I downloaded it as well, but I am unable to get it to
compile.
I am running Linux 2.0.35, with gcc 2.7.2.2. I did not change anything
in config.dist.
When I do make info, everything looks OK to me (correctly identifies
ix86_Linux2.0, and FSF gcc version 2.7.2.2.
But, when I go to make (GNU Make version 3.74), I get the following
(after several files compile correctly):
siod_fringe.cc: In function `struct obj * fringe_server(struct obj *)':
siod_fringe.cc:149: no matching function for call to
`EST_FringeServer::EST_FringeServer (EST_String, void *)'
../include/EST_FringeServer.h:85: candidates are:
EST_FringeServer::EST_FringeServer(const EST_FringeServer &)
../include/EST_FringeServer.h:61:
EST_FringeServer::EST_FringeServer(EST_String)
../include/EST_FringeServer.h:63:
EST_FringeServer::EST_FringeServer(EST_String, ostream *)
../include/EST_FringeServer.h:66:
EST_FringeServer::EST_FringeServer(EST_String, int)
../include/EST_FringeServer.h:67:
EST_FringeServer::EST_FringeServer(EST_String, int, ostream *)
make[1]: *** [siod_fringe.o] Error 1
make: *** [siod] Error 2
This is clearly a C++ problem, but as I am not really a C++ person, I don't
have a clue how to fix this. If I change the ostream * constuctor to a void *,
then it will move on to another similar error in another file.
Can anyone offer advice on how to get this to compile under linux?
Note: I am running slackware, so I can't use the precompiled rpms.
Thanks
Schemm

I was at GunCash.org last weekend and it was up. When I downloaded it
and looked at the install requirements it wanted me to dl some motiff
stuff, or use a certain version of lesstif, and a couple of other
things. I decided not too. I think GNUcash should consider "putting
all their eggs in one basket" so the user only has to download and
compile a single source. Otherwise, compile static binaries using the
various libraries. I may try it again soon, though.

Moneydance requires the JRE (Java Runtime Environment, check for which
version, which you can get from the www.blackdown.org site), which Sean,
the author, didn't supply with Moneydance, at least the last time I
checked. JRE is nearly 10MB of stuff, but even so it is a lot easier to
install than GNUcash. If GNUcash doesn't get its act togeather before
the end of the year I am going to go with MoneyDance.
Be advised that MoneyDance is not GPL, there is a $25 charge.

You might want to consider VMWARE, which allows you to run both Linux
and WinXX simultaneously. If you version of Quicken was for Win 3.1 it
may run ok in WINE, otherwise I wouldn't bet on it.

Go to 4-Front software (link on my site, Open sound)
You can test their demo and you will find out if it works right.
Remember that you need to install Timidity++ if you want midi to
