Seriously though, I've heard that Derek has been
under a lot of pressure to GPL the source code
to his free version of BC3K, but he has some moral
reservations about this, because the instant his
brilliant AILOG technology gets out, the current
crop of game developers will become obsolete overnight
and out of a job. Cleve Blakemore may be the driving
force behind all this. Cleve has been itching to get
get a firsthand look at Derek's AILOG, so he can
fill in the last pieces of his own work, which have
been eluding him thus far.

Oh, you mean the apps that were hacks and hacked behind the back of Windows
to access sockets. Something that MS cautioned against in their documentation
because such an action could cause the application to fail should patches
to the Winsock be made?
Yeah, those applications. SP4 was a good SP and fixed several security
holes in the TCP/IP stack. You had a choice, run your piece of shit hacked
Lotus Notes, or have a security TCP stack. Finally, after awhile, Lotus
got off their asses and fixed their stupidity and it wasn't an issue.
Again, this was Lotus et al's fault, not MS.

Of course it won't be 100% compatible with the binary format. It will at
best be as good as RTF output. If it were 100% compatible then companies
writing competing products wouldn't have to invest in writing filters to
convert Microsoft document formats.

Oh boy, I have 2 cards as well. One is DHCP. One is a static address. This
works FLAWLESSLY on Linux. :-)
I recently got cable modem access which uses DHCP. I added a second NIC, ran
'apt-get install pump', which asked me for the NIC to use, and voila everything
was working. This is on a system running Storm Linux, RIP :-(. At the moment
I'm playing with Progeny RC2 and both NIC's work perfectly under that as well.
The cable modem company provided a booklet on how to set things up on a MAC
and Windows. Pages and pages of GUI pictures telling you what to enter in
each field. Luckily it was written in German so I couldn't follow any of it.
With Linux it just works.
Pete appears to be the LCD of cumputer users. Linux distributers/developers
should use him as a beta tester. If it works for Pete then it will work for
anyone.

The only problem, under Linux, that I can see from having 2 DHCP connections
would be setting up the appropriate default route and resolv.conf for DNS.
A simple script, run at boot time after the NIC's are configured, would
solve that. But then, who has 2 DHCP connections? Now there's a challenge
for Pete. Perhaps not, he can't even get it configured proerly with a
static and a DHCP NIC. :-)

I won't complain if firewire competes with these other standards on
the free market and wins, but it's not anybody's place to deliberately
obstruct access to other interface standards just so they can force
consumers to accept firewire.

I'm still LMAO at the *NEW* MICROS~1 idea of using regEx's in a

Pedantic point but run level 3 may not be enough. He should add the
startup script for any run level he uses.
Until recently I used SuSE Linux exclusively. I only had a static IP
address conection at that time so never used SuSE with DHCP. I cannot
believe that YAST doesn't know how to setup an interface for DHCP. In
fact I don't believe it. SuSE users should never need to worry about
startup scripts at all unless they are working with things that aren't
a part of a standard SuSE system.

Of course he can't if you won't look for help in the appropriate place.
Did you ask for help on the SuSE english mailing list? Of course not as
then you would have nothing to complain about. All the problems you have
are trivial. One problem you have is that you somehow manage to screw up
any Linux installation you do. Then you just complain in c.o.l.a. Grow up.
You would learn a lot more if you actively sought help in newsgroups and
mailing lists that are relevant to your problems.
