[Scottish] Recursive MD5 sums
Hi, Is it possible to have an md5sum quoted in a file which corresponds to the md5sum of that file? I guess that this will either be a really trivial thing to do or it'll be one of those silly npc (or whatever it is) problems. Links or explantions of algorithms and/or implementations would be interesting (I'm more asking out of interest than anything else).

Re: [Scottish] debug
Huard, Elise - D CW Consultant wrote: Hi, what would you say are the most useful commands for dbx ? help :). What commands are useful depends on if you're stepping through code as it runs or examine a core file. If you're familiar with gdb then a lot of versions of dbx include the command gdb on which allow you to use gdb style commands such as bt. bt is probably what you think of as stack. The intrinsic dbx command might be whereami, I'm afraid I use it with a mixture of dbx and gdb commands. To find an FPE error you probably want to turn the signal handling functions off, run the code, get a core file. Load the core file, and find out which line you are on (bt or whereami) - hence which line is dividing by zero[1]. Thanks, Allan [1] Floating point exceptions are always division by zero :). ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

Re: [Scottish] Copying BBC CD's
People, (And not Rob in particular). Could we not discuss stuff like this on the mailing list. It makes us look bad to be seen to be helping each other do legally dubious[1] things.

Lots of very good suggestions have come about from Willie's original post.

Hi, I'll be 23 on Sunday (oh no!) so I'm going out for a few pints on Saturday evening. For those of you who have been invited already, here are the details...

Re: [Scottish] Strange DNS problem
Ben, If machines won't respond to pings to their IP numbers then chances are DNS is the least of your problems. If it happens again try pinging something independent like: 216.239.55.100 (google, btw). If it doesn't respond then you have bigger problems than DNS.
