That's the beauty of it...it works for any 2-dimensional oriented shape
when the set of edges don't intersect. A figure 8 admittedly might have
a problem, mostly because half of the 8 would in fact be the wrong
orientation.
If one seriously wants to compute the space of an arbitrary edge-set
where all vertices connect to an even number of edges (the simplest
method by which I can guarantee that the path contains area) and no
restrictions on self-intersections, then one will probably want to sort
the coordinates of the points in some sort of (Y,X) mode, and then use
sweep lines to compute whether given pairs of lines intersect or not --
or use some other space decomposition method (like a modified
cornerstitch) to figure out which parts of the decomposition are
in fact inside, and which outside. Or you can use a variant of
the Jordan curve theorem by throwing a ray to the right and counting
the edges it hits, then looking for areas in which the ray hits the
same set of edges, or something.
Tough problem!
As for the shape given above, give it an orientation (clockwise),
then compute the trapezoids by projecting the vertices of each edge
down to the X-axis (Y=0); the edges on the top of this shape
will point to the right and have positive trapezoids;
the edges on the bottom will have negative trapezoids.
Simple enough, but you're right, a consistent orientation is required
to do it properly. I'll have to reread the original post to see
if that was included...I feel so dumb now. :-)

This could get a bit tricky. I'll admit, I hadn't thought of that
particular representation for a solid (I've seen it before); I was
more under the impression that the solid was in fact represented by
some sort of polyhedron -- i.e., with explicit faces, edges, verticies,
and some idea as to which faces are related to which edges and vertices,
and which edges are related to which edges and which vertices,
and which vertices are related to which edges and which faces.
Changing the problem by specifying the solid using Z-slices
makes it more difficult -- but also more useful. :-)
(I should have been thinking of a Titanic expose I saw about a week
or two back; basically, it was an undersea exploration of the wreck,
coupled with computer simulations of what probably happened.
Very interesting program.)

That was 'D', above.
>Number of sides.
That's implicit in the definition of the problem; one is presumed
to know the shape of the solid (more precisely, the computer input
would include a complete specification of the shape of the solid).
Given your comments above regarding slicing as opposed to a
classic polyhedron, this could get interesting. :-)
>Shape of the tank.
Again, that's implicit in the definition of the problem.
>weight of the polyhedron.
Weight's not an issue; ratio of specific densities of the floating
solid and the liquid are, as far as I remember my physics, anyway.
The weight of the displaced liquid equals the total weight of
the solid; a trivial calculation indicates that the part of the
solid in the liquid would be D/L, where D is the density of the
solid, and L is the density of the liquid (which was arbitrarily
set to 1 in the problem statement, above).

Admittedly, I was being slightly facetious. But I don't see it
being an insoluable problem.
And it wasn't for a formula, anyway; the original objective was to
indicate who could come up with a well-crafted algorithm to find
the answer, which would be suitable for practical computations.

Tripwire is one of the few programs that has trouble with the new glibc.
If you still have the 5.2 /lib files somewhere, put them in an
accessible directory (I used /oldlib) and use the following script to
invoke tripwire (in the /opt/TSS/bin directory, or whereever you have
it).
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oldlib \
/oldlib/ld-linux.so.2 \
/opt/TSS/bin/tripwire $*
That's all it took on my RH6.0 system.

Just run fsck in interactive mode (To my shame I have to admit that I'm
writing this from behind a windows-machine and that I can't remember the

Check the fsck man-page to be sure about the right option (man fsck)
so it would look something like:
fsck -r /dev/hda3
where -r stands for the right option (if it isn't -r)
Hope this will help a little

Protected mode was specifically designed to multitask safely. Why would
anyone create an OS that limited to single tasking in protected mode?
Its just not necessary. However, GEOS comes about as close to your

This is the type of information I'm looking for. I'm getting ready to

which one to get. I'm running Debian now that I downloaded and
installed, but I'm wondering if I should try suse, RH, Caldera or stick

another distro could do it better, and there's the fact that I have a

You will need to use ip forwarding / masquerading if you want the guest

I believe it's the shell that's doing that. su just exec's it; it
doesn't wait for the command to exit and then exit on its own.
In other words, it looks like a bug in the version of bash you're using.
Try using the current version of bash.

You have invoked `ld.so', the helper program for shared library
executables. This program usually lives in the file `/lib/ld.so', and
special directives in executable files using ELF shared libraries tell
the system's program loader to load the helper program from this file.
This helper program loads the shared libraries needed by the program
executable, prepares the program to run, and runs it. You may invoke
this helper program directly from the command line to load and run an
ELF executable file; this is like executing that file itself, but
always uses this helper program from the file you specified, instead
of the helper program file specified in the executable file you run.
This is mostly of use for maintainers to test new versions of this
helper program; chances are you did not intend to run this program.

Hi!
I have compiled a little program on a Linux Machine with RedHat 5.2
using gcc
i.e: gcc -i test.c -o test.execute
and it work fine.
But if I try to execute same executable on a Linux Machine with a
older Linux, it is refused to execute, saying
"file not found."
Someone can help me ?
thanks in advance.
Andrea.
