The site is there but they don't offer any driver files above what is
already loaded.
There is a bug in the install: It allows you to choose a Cannon BJC 600
driver, but doesn't install it and doesn't list it in any of the printer
driver *.all files. So, for now, I am using the "Postscript
passthrough" setting, which deprives me of color.
On the good side, wp8 is very fast, and very competititve with Word in
features and ability. It even has a decent spread sheet ability with
graphics built in. I really love its methodology for doing equations.
The output is better than that stuff from Science Design that is
incorporated into Word and Applix, both of which I own. I'm not cutting
Applix. It is a great WP, Spreadsheet, and graphics package. They
strap their database section and almost make it unusable, however,
because they don't supply enough drivers for the common databases.
IMHO.

I looked it the config.log file, and found something like:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -libstdc++
On a hunch I looked in /usr/lib and made a symbolic link from libstdc++.so to
libstdc++.so.2.8.0, and after that everything compiled fine.

Subject: thread stacksize
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 00:36:47 GMT
There is a pthread function called pthread_attr_setstacksize(...) that
Linux does not support (per viewing the pthread.h file). I also saw
by using sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN) that getting the min (same for
max) stacksize isn't supported.
So what's the story with the stack size in Linux pthreads?
Is it dynamically allocated?

Another thought - my roomate had a problem with his machine locking up after a few
minutes of q2, figured out it was a heat problem. He solved the problem by taking
the cover off his case, then pointed a floor-fan (yup, one of those two-foot
diameter ones) right at the motherboard, voila! I'm not saying this is your
problem, but it would at least heat as the culprit if you still crashed.

Compaq does not test or support Linux on the Presario home computers. There
might be a hardware-software conflict with Linux. Try checking with Linux
for a solution with your problem.

What kind of programs do you run that require this much RAM? I have 20MB
of RAM and find that adaquate. In fact I used to run X with only 8MB of
RAM and found that adaquate for small-medium programs (a couple of xterms,
xjed, the GIMP (with small images) and povray chugging along in the
background.) Mind you 8MB isn't enough for program development (especially
for compiling GTK-- programs, or running ddd (hence the upgrade))

Yes, I have done extensive application development with big enterprise
companies. Obvious is not so to you I guess. I have much experience and I
am fluent using MFC under Visual C++ 5.0+ and of course every good business
has required me to use Visual Basic 5.0 (no ADO, sorry) and SQL Server 6.5.
As far as unix programming, it has all been portable C++ with STL or Java.
Sorry to disappoint you. I found I didn't like Qt programming because of
the moc preprocessor. It seemed to be a bit of a bastardized version of
C++. (I am aware the MFC has done this also, but at least you don't see
it).
I have also done some extensive programming using Smalltalk Enterprise a
year or so ago. However, the performance of smalltalk is really bad.

KDE has become just as bloated as any MS product out there. I mean take

Do you have the DISPLAY environment variable set (specifying that that
X-Windows display should be used)? Try 'unset DISPLAY' before you run
Emacs. Failing that, try 'xemacs -nw' to force XEmacs to use tty
mode. (The same solutions apply to GNU Emacs.)

You need to select the option 'Prompt for development and/or incomplete
code/drivers' from the submenu 'Code maturity level options' before
since this driver is marked being experimental.

Subject: printing twice
Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 21:45:37 +0100
hi folks,
by some unknown accident my printer (hp ljet 3p connected to suse
5.3-linux-server) prints every job started on the linux box two times
(lpq shows only one job). printing over LAN from winNT doesn't make
problems.
i tried to force one copy with '-#1' option but no way. even the new
installation of the printer didn't show success.
crazy working, eh?!?
hope someone has an idea .....
Tia, Marko.

I'm sure they're already stealing lots of Linux code for Windows 2000���

Hey,
When I looked in /var/log/messages, I found this line and it looked strange.
What does it mean? Could this be a security hazard? Thanx.

Where would I find a version of the resolver libraries? I own the Slackware
CDs, but they didn't seem to get installed (at least, I can't find them). Any
advice? I need them for a compile.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: CGM - Universal vector graphics format?
Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 23:52:14 +0000
It looks like the W3C is going to define CGM (ISO 8632) as the standard
format for vector graphics on the web.
http://www.w3.org/Press/1999/WebCGM-REC
Is there any Linux software which supports the creation/viewing of CGM
files? Netscape plugin for instance?
Could even reduce bandwidth requirements? Nah....
