I had no problem with your post - but you just had to throw a little
personal attack there didn't you?  If you would have just said, take
your opinions and shove em you know where.. I would have not minded.

I have been programming in assembler for 14 years.  I learned on the
CoCo M6809 and that landed my current job� I am currently very well
versed in Intel  x86 family processors.  I can take any piece of C/C++
code and turn into assembly (almost in my sleep, not that I want to).
I also know GA900 and the HARRIS/5 assembly languages like the back of
my hand. In fact it probably wouldn't take me more than a few days to
pick up any processors mnemonic set and start coding.  Anyway, YES I
DO know something about the stack and pushing and popping and
re-entrance and software interrupts and polling vs hardware
interrupted I/O and flags and clock cycles and real-time programming.
If you want to call that art, then so be it� Just like I don't see
some weird squared shape "architectural" building as art� art is a
painting of a horse, a pond, or a flower� not some algorithm that can
be coded some thousands of different ways (Oh but, my way is art)  I
got this job because I know how to code not because I had some high
fluting degree.. not because I can write eloquently or use big words�
but because I know how to code.

    It's typically called a PROM.  It's the first thing that starts on older
SPARCs (can't comment on the newer ones).  They can be setup to go straight
into boot mode though (as in, go to disk one, partition one and start
cranking) so you might not have realized you were being passed through it.

There's not much C++ specific information.  There's a little here on the

That's not a C++ feature, nor a feature of the standard C++ libraries.  See

You should see the wonderful way Compuserve's Usenet gateway garbles

Subject: "playing MPEGs" or "problems with SMP kernel"
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 05:43:44 +0000

Hi,
 I've ran into a weird problem when I put a second processor into my
system: When the kernel is running in SMP mode with two processors,
video players don't seem to work. All of them (mpeg_play, MpegTV, xanim)
are showing the same exact problem: they spit out a bunch of frames,
then freeze, then spit out some more and so on.
  If I turn off the SMP option and recompile that same kernel, all works
fine. If I run an SMP kernel having just one processor in the system, it
all runs fine too. I have not noticed any other problems running the
system in SMP mode with two processors. I imagine this has something to
do with timings (and yes, I've tried to turn Enhanced Real Time Clock
option, it doesn't help).

  I was wondering if anyone else was having a similar problem or has any
suggestions on how to fix this.

 (my system is a dual PII-450, and I tried the following kernels: 2.2.5,
2.2.4 and 2.1.132 ... all giving the same results :( )


Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

-peter.

hi all,

Got RH5.2 working OK on my Sony VAIO 505 laptop, although I have
a slight problem with the internal problem (V.90+K56flex).

It dials and connect to my ISP via ppp but when I bring up 
netscape 4.08 and start browsing, it always stops half way downloading
a page with, e.g. something like "20% of 20K (stalled)" then nothing
would show up on the browser even I reload ...

Just wondering  if it has anything to do with the init string. Any
help/advice
would be grateful or if anyone with a similar setup could show me how I
should
put the init string in for the modem.

Thanks in advance,

FWIW, the official version of Red Hat 5.x comes with a boot floppy in

I agree.  Personally, I think they should either clean up Disk Druid or

1.  You're not stupid.  If you were stupid, you would be satisfied
with Microsoft.

2.  Linux is a great system but the documentation is not well organized.
You can download a good Linux system from FTP sites, but it is
easy to make a mistake that way.  It is much easier to buy
a CD for a few dollars.  But before you do that you should read these 
three files:

1.  Linux "Meta-FAQ" http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/META-FAQ.html
2.  Linux Information Sheet http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/INFO-SHEET.html
3.  The Linux Distribution HOWTO 
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Distribution-HOWTO.html

These will help you decide which Linux is right for your needs so you don't
waste time and have a bad experience with the wrong one.

Now I will tell you my experience.  I have installed several linuxes
and I use them all the time.  There is no best one.
I have had good experiences with Debian, SuSE, and Slackware.
I have had bad experiences with Red Hat, Ygdrassil, and Info-Magic.
But I was familiar with Unix when I started.  If I did not know
what to expect it would have been harder.

You can look at Tcl for a form designer (Visual Tcl is very nice) and
use a SQL server interface. If you want a local (non server-based
solution) take a look at TclVsdb. It's a simple (but kind of nice)
database library. You can find these at www.neosoft.com. It's more of a
VB environment, but I may work to get these working together a little
better.

Subject: Typing accented characters in Linux?
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 11:45:33 +1200

Hi all,

I've recently installed RH5.1 successfully, learnt a little shell stuff,
played with a few window managers etc. I'm still quite a newbie though.

I have a few questions about accented characters and code pages etc.

For instance, I can get an e-acute by typing ALT-0233 in Windows or going
thru character map if I don't know the code.

How would I type this in Linux?

Are the character sets specified globally in Linux, or is this part of the
window manager config or current shell config?

Will different window managers (or shells) use different methods? Or more
extreme, will different X apps use different methods? If not, would KDE or
Gnome make this more consistent? I have installed KDE 1.1, but I haven't
spent much time in it yet.

Any answers would be appreciated

Thanks
Anton

Well, I'm no guru of anything, but it doesn't look like a CGI problem
to me. If the program dies when you call strcmp() or fopen() I would
guess something overran memory and/or the stack or some such thing.

Hi,

  Since switching from a serial mouse to a MS wheeled PS/2 mouse (IMPS2
protocol), I have had to upgrade some programs to fix protocol problems,
e.g. gpm.  Now it's all fine and dandy, but I want my mouse to work
correctly under Quake.  Unforunately, it's not as easy as installing the
latest svgalib RPM, because my system is glibc2-based and I need libc5
libvga.so.* libraries, since that's what squake depends on.  My version
of (libc5) svgalib is 1.2.10, but I want to upgrade to 1.3.1 which has
support for the IMPS2 protocol, I believe.  (Just using 'PS2' in
/etc/vga/libvga.config won't cut it.)  Where can I get pre-compiled
libc5-linked svgalib 1.3.1 binaries?  I've tried the 1.4.0pre-whatever
libc5 binaries on the svgalib webpage, but they only make all of my text
consoles blank out permanently, causing me to have to reboot.  Thanks in
advance for any help anyone can provide.
