Umm ... if you don't have iostream.h, ifstream.h, or fstream.h
then your C++ setup (more specificaly, your LibG++) is severly broken.
Those are headers for some standard C++ streams classes.  Double check
your /usr/include/g++ directory!

 Well, if I understand the question your command line should look like:
 
   cp /dev/console file-name
   cp /dev/tty1 file-name


This is weird.  The first suggestion would only work if you're
logged in at the tty which /dev/console is symlinked to (i.e., this
prolly won't work from an xterm in X).  The second suggestion would
only work if you're logged into tty1 (again, this won't work from an
xterm in X). Why doncha do it like this:

cat  filename

Then press Ctrl-D (which is EOF in UNIX, it's Ctrl-Z in DOS) when
you're done.  This would do the same thing as copy con filename in
DOS.

 Hi
 first the motif questions
 1: where can I get the motif librarys ?


Cheap*Bytes (http://www.cheapbytes.com) sells a complete Motif
2.0.1 development system (SWiM Motif 2.0 by LaserMoon) for $69.00.  This
is a VERY good price considering Motif for Linux used to cost nearly $200
a couple of years ago.

I bought it and I am quite satisfied with it.  'Tho, if you've
never bought anything from Cheap*Bytes, you may be suprised by how they
really don't go all out in the fancy packaging, etc.  SWiM Motif came on a
single CD-ROM, in a plain white envelope all in a cardboard mailer.  And
thats it.  No manuals (manuals cost extra, but I saw PostScript Motif
reference manuals on the CD).  I also bought a Red Hat CD from them once
also, and it came on an all white, generic looking, CD-ROM also in a plain
white envelope all enclosed in a cardboard mailer.  But I'm not
complaining.  It's how they keep the costs down and how they can sell
stuff for so cheap.  Thier service is excellent and I highly recommend
them.


 secondly the X questions
 when I type xdm absolutly nothing happens I just get a command prompt
 back and no processes are spawned... any thoughts ?

Check the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file.  Check to see if you have an
X server defined for :0.  


 when I look though /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2/ I see a program/module ?
 called fwvmaudio what is this? I think it is suposed to be used to bind
 sound bytes to events ?...


Yes, it is.  You can bind sounds to window manager events like
maximizing and minimizing windows.  Do a 'man FvwmAudio' for more
details.


 also I have afterstep and like it's look and feel my question for this is
 can I use the fvwm95 taskbar/startbar in afterstep instead of the warf?


Well, I do know you can use the Task Bar from Fvwm '95 v2.42 and
prior with Fvwm v2.0.x (I'm using it right now ... 'tho I slightly hacked
it so I doesn't have a Start button anymore).  But since AfterStep is
based on Fvwm v.1.x, it is highly questionable if the Task Bar will work.
Note that starting with Fvwm '95 v2.43, they changed a few things so that
the Task Bar no longer works properly with Fvwm v2.0.x.  So it is very
unlikely that will work with AfterStep either.

 and finaly
 I have the menu package installed but when I run update-menus and then
 look at my startmenu there is no difference ... do I need to add a
 include statement or what ...


No clue here :-(.  What is the menu package?  (I'm still using
Debian 1.1 with only a few of the packages upgraded with more recent
.debs).

Problem with Netscape making zombies!

1997-04-07 Thread The Tick
Hello Debian Users List!,

I seem to be having problems with Netscape 3.01 spawning zombie
'netstat' processes, and thus hanging.  I was wondering if anybody knows a
fix for this.  The only cause I can think of for this is that the Netscape
coders forgot to do a 'wait' in the parent process.  If thats the
case, then there's nothing I can do.

However, I don't recall this problem ever occuring before with
other distributions.  So perhaps it's something else besides sloppy
coding?  And also, I can sometimes get netscape to start.  So this sort of
alludes to the idea that it's not Netscape's fault but something else.

Thanks in advance for any help on this!
