Re: script(1) Why does it output in CR/LF?
Kristian Vaaf wrote: The last question though, don't you find it the least bit stupid? Sure is. One is probably not going to use script(1) very often with programs which take the terminal out of canonical mode, so it makes sense to normalize line terminators when writing to the log file. With those programs which do fiddle with the terminal settings, the CRs might have significance, though. It would not be difficult to add an option to screen(1) to tell it to normalize line terminators in the log file, or perhaps change it to normalize by default, and have the option shut it off. It's a very simple program (/usr/src/usr.bin/script/script.c). -- James Bailie [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jamesbailie.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Script just captures the output of your shell, and your shell has to send crlf in order to get the cursor back to the beginning of a line. No it doesn't. The script(1) utility interposes a pseudo-terminal between the program whose output is to be captured and itself, so the program thinks its running on a terminal device and behaves accordingly. Then script(1) acts like a transparent filter, shuttling data back-and-forth from the actual terminal to the pseudo-terminal, while sending a copy of the program's output to the log file as well. It is the terminal driver in canonical mode, inside the pseudo-terminal, that is expanding NLs in the proggy's output stream into CRNL pairs. -- James Bailie [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jamesbailie.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linux Realplayer
For all those folks out there who could not get the standalone helix realplayer to display menu text or button images, or who had the acrobat plugin recognized by Firefox but not working, I have found installing the latest linux-pango and linux-gtk fixed things on my system. Since the RUN_DEPENDS of linux-realplayer and acroread7 specify a symbolic link which does not contain precise version info, the gtk+ dependency will be satisifed by older, incompatible versions of linux-gtk2. The mystery for me, was where the older version of the library came from. I originally tried to portupgrade linux-gtk2, but it told me that port wasn't installed. -- James Bailie [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jamesbailie.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: ee(1): why Backspace doesn't work as expected if $TERM=xterm?
Constantine A. Murenin wrote: They map it perfectly fine as 127, it's only FreeBSD's ee(1) that has this problem, tcsh and others work fine. ee does not do this on the console on my 5.4 machine, nor does it do this in an XTerm over an ssh connection to my 4.11 machine, therefore I would suspect the problem must be with the terminal emulator key mappings or pseudo-terminal settings. In fact, since changing the value of TERM fixed things, it PROVES the problem is with one of these. If you go to the PuTTY website you will find a simple answer to your question in the online documentation. In the data panel of the configuration settings, you may change the terminal-type-string to vt200, to cause PuTTY to set TERM correctly for you. -- James Bailie [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jamesbailie.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Proposed license for IETF Contributions
Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: You might check this but I believe that the Copyright convention specifically excepts specifications from copyright coverage. I think there's some other classes of original work that fall under this. How about simply rewriting the ITEF license to designate any RFC as the complete RFC is a specification, and therefore uncopyrightable. I'm not a lawyer, but I strongly believe under the Berne convention RFCs have copyright. The technical details described in an RFC may be protected by other IP laws, such as patent law for example, if the originator chose to patent those details, but the text of the RFC document itself, describing those details, is an original composition which satisfies the terms of the convention. The only means of rescinding copyright is for the copyright owner to explicitly place the work into the public domain. Simon's proposed license seems reasonable to me. It is essentially a BSD-style license, allowing royalty-free redistribution and modification, but with a difference when it comes to attribution. Original unmodified text from a specification must contain an attribution to the source document, while any modified versions (which may contain inaccuracies) have to have all references to the source organizations removed.

Re: Printer prints garbage
Ron wrote: On restart of the printer, FreeBSD will send it printing information, but it should *not* do this, since the printer is out of sync with FreeBSD. The result is garbage pages. This is perfectly reasonable behavior. The print daemon does not know you are trying to stop it from printing. It simply stalls the print job when the printer stops responding, and then resumes it when the printer is available again. If you wish to stop a print job, use lpq to determine the job number and then feed that to lprm to dequeue the job. Then you reset the printer to clear out its own buffer. There is certainly a better way to do this than to yank the plug out of the wall. One usually presses a button to reset a printer. -- James Bailie [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jamesbailie.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
