Preferably one running in console, like telnet. Also, one for X won't bother

How about x3270
ftp://crl.dec.com/pub/X11/contrib/applications/
ftp://ftp.eu.net/X11/contrib/applications/
is two sites that should have.
x3270 is included in the "ports" tree in freebsd, and yes i have
used it. It works.
At least 2 terminal based 3270/telnet emulators is also 'out there'
i might have a copy at home.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello
I have to access native code from a Java application using JNI. This
native code is dependent on the SGI IRIS Performer libraries. When the
Java app starts up and loads my .so file it apparently follows these
dependencies - but then it throws an UnsatisfiedLinkError failing to
resolve __ucmpdi2 (while working on libpr.so, it seems). I have used nm
extensively on the libraries in /usr/lib but I haven't found the place
where this symbol is implemented. Has anybody heard of this symbol and
can tell me where to find it?
I'm using egcs 2.91.66.
Thank you very much.
Kai

the problem isn't with the install, it's when you go to remove or
upgrade. sometimes it's hard (or at least tedious) to figure out what
all things went where. then when you find a random file, you wonder
where it came from. rpm doesn't really solve the shared config
tweaks very well (like editing an init script to set something up
while leaving setup for other stuff). rpm is clunky and sometimes a
pain in the ass, but it's not completely useless to me.

As someone already pointed out, this is a known glitch in g++
(even in the latest, g++ 2.95.2).
I hear that the STLport is very close to full compliance
with the Standard C++ Library (www.stlport.org).
If you're in a rush for a quick solution on sstream, you can
download mine (it's not 100% compliant, but it does the job
for most of the common situations).
You can get it from:
http://www.mochima.com/misc/sstream
You can either place it on the system directory
(/usr/include/g++-2, or /usr/local/include/g++-3, or
wherever your iostream/fstream/*stream files are located),
or copy it with the rest of your source code and then
#include it with quotes instead of angle brackets)
Hope this helps,
Carlos

Hi Nate,
Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, it didn't work either :-(
One curious detail is the following: If I try to do it manually,
for a test, with telnet to port 80:
[...]$ telnet www.mochima.com 80
And then I type:
GET /text_file.txt HTTP/1.0 <Enter twice>
Then I get the file. However, if I telnet to the actual IP
address:
[...]$ telnet 199.93.70.42 80
And then type
GET /text_file.txt ...
or even:
GET http://www.mochima.com/text_file.txt ...
I get the same error message.
Any idea of why this is happening?
Thanks!
Carlos

I'm working on these 2 task, but i did not get what i like to do:
1/ I'd to clean up user left over jobs automatically when he/she log off
the system. There is a script that place in the end of .logout file. But
it's only solve a small part because it did not clean up when user using
XWins 32 to log on . is there any way to clean up those process before
he/she logout?? it's would be nice if we can ask the user want to kill
those process or not.
2/ When i'm using re-nice to set the priority of a job, the job have the
higest priority and running fine. But there is a problem with CPU time,
i'm only getting the small amount of cpu time on the highest priority
(just re-nice) job. Is there any way that i can reschedule that job nad
also use most of my cpu time for that job??

Mr Steuber is an excellent example of my point. In my message can't you
tell I LIKE linux, I have Linux, I have used Linux for several years. It
is a great hobby to configure but once it is working what are you going to
use it for? Why don't any of the free ISPs support Linux? That would be
great. How can I spin down my SCSI drives when they are not in use? I've
been after that for years. Windows is no fun to install and configure, it
just basically works and you cannot really configure it. That means it
sucks if you want to spin down your SCSI drives because you can't. With
Linux you can do anything you want, well maybe, maybe somebody knows how,
maybe not. Maybe you post questions to boards and get real help, maybe
Dave answers. I still say "Great toy, bad technology".

I don't see how there is any way that this could be correct. The way your
server is determining which host to use is by the Host: header. telnet
doesn't send one.
Is there a reason you need to use IP's? Perhaps try this.
telnet 199.93.70.42 80
GET /text_file.txt HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Host: www.mochima.com
<enter twice>
and see what you get.

You could try the Tcl/TK.
It is a simple GUI interface and you can do quite a bit with it.
They even have an IDE for it (but I don't remember what it is.)
I will work on everything from just XDM through most of the major

2 quick questions.
1. Are you using KDE?
2. Did you install ALL the KDE RPM's? (i.e. the "development" packages?)
(Note: I may be WAY off base, but answering these questions should

I'm not arguing about your right to do whatever you want, I
am just saying that I don't understand what motivates you
to create a situation where I can download code, have it
on my machine and use it in any way I want, but only in
cases where I can do the linking myself. If another needed
component is controlled by someone else with an equal
right to choose their license, I won't be able to obtain
and use the combination together.

Lots of people make unenforcable claims but I don't want to take
that approach with the GPL. It is just that sanity I question.
Unless there really is a case for keeping it from competing
with commercial licensing of the same code (like ghostscript),
why give something away with strings attached that prohibit
a lot of uses?
