Ok, I got the stuff talked about below done.  You can get Notif-0.2 by
anonymous ftp from:

ftp://virek.vwis.com/pub/jhallen/notif-0.2.tar.Z
ftp://ftp.worcester.com/pub/joe/notif-0.2.tar.Z

Included is a multithreaded example program and documentation 'thread.man'. 
Right now Notif will only work in Linux because the stack-switching code
depends on knowing what's in the jmp_buf structure.

Also, I got cut & paste working properly for the Edit widget.  It had not
been working correctly.  I also fixed a bug where focus was not working
properly under twm (I forgot to send the input WM hint).

`Type on thin air' implies `lose tactile feedback'.

i.e. you have to look at the `keyboard' all the time, because otherwise
you can't easily tell where the keys are for autocorrection.

Remember the days of typing on a ZX81's keyboard? This would be *worse*.

Subject: libc5-devel on libc6 system
Date: Mon, 8 Feb 1999 16:44:26 -0800

I'm putting the finishing touches on a single-floppy based Linux system,
which is based on libc5 and sysVinit (everything is from RedHat 4.2).  To
make it totally single user, I built a modified version of sulogin from the
sysVinit package, which I had to link statically because my system is libc6
based (Redhat 5.1).  That results in a 100K binary, which could probably be
reduced to under 10K if dynamically linked.

To make the package easily distributable, I want to include the link libs
for libc5 in the distribution, since most systems are libc6 based these
days, but I need some help.  I don't know which library files I need to
include and I could use some help setting up the Makefile, so I don't go
linking against libc6.

I'm attaching the .c file in case it helps figure out which files I need.

Thanx for any help.

Glen

sorry, i can't find any C calls or anything for you, but it is indeed listed
in /proc/cpuinfo (grep "cpu MHZ")...this may have changed from kernel
version to kernel version, but i remember it always being there.  this
requires, also, that you have the /proc filesystem

Wow, that was fast... ;-) I'm getting it right now. I just stumbled

You are basically mixing up KGI and the userland library LibGGI. KGI wasn't 
integrated into the kernel. Instead another solution fbdev was. LibGGI is 
able to  work with multiple targets including fbdev. See 
http://www.ggi-project.org/.

No it's not readily available.

There is nothing to stop a CPU being clocked below its
rated maximum (and this used to happen on older PCs
to allow games to be played).  Nowdays you might
want to do this to save power.

The best you can do is run a standardised test program
and time it.  Thus "BogoMIPS".

You could tune the value a bit by determining the CPU
type and adjusting the timing to allow for processor
instruction scheduling (but then you'd have to write
your code in assembler, and test it on every CPU type).
Have you heard the term "maintenance headache"?

Cheers,
Glen

Date: 7 Feb 1999 20:32:04 GMT

I've just installed kernel 2.2.1 on my Redhat 5.2 system.  I've gotten 
everything to work except for my zip drive.  I'm trying to use the new 
drivers for the zipdrive (imm)  I'm obviously missing something.  I'm 
using a parallel port Zip drive.  What am I missing? I would guess 
something is not enabled in the kernel.

such as:

        ftp.<country>.kernel.org

where <country> is the two letter abbreviation for your country (`us' for the
United States).  That will automatically route you to one of the mirror sites
for the country specified.
