RE: [PATCH] Setup window.{cc,h}
Approved on one condition - please remove the reference to folk in Hell. I'm not christian, but that doesn't seem at all appropriate. Fair enough; religious humor excommunicated. ;-) A small suggestion (doesn't prevent it being commited) - a helper fn to return an already casted value might reduce the number of casts needed. You mean a cast operator to do what GetHWND() is doing? Yeah, I thought of that; I'll probably end up doing that at some point. The comment though is more of a lament that the user can't just forget about HWNDs entirely and use just methods that don't break encapsulation. Ah well, it ain't MFC... yet. ;-) 2003-06-03 Gary R.

RE: OT - Terminal embedded in desktop
Umm, Jean-Claude, most likely I'm missing something, but shouldn't you be able to create one yourself rather easily by taking the code for a stock xterm (the simpler - the better), removing the call that creates the window, and using root drawing calls instead of window drawing calls? I know it won't be *that* simple, but as a general direction, does the above look feasible?

The terminal window is transparent, yes. But not transparent like a lot of X terminals I've seen that only put the same bitmap that the X root window is using in their client area. With normal terminals, you see a fake transparence; it simulates transparence by using the desktop bitmap as a background in its (the terminal's) window. I'm talking about a desktop applet (maybe an applet, maybe something else, I'm not sure) that is a terminal window, covering the desktop, but really transparent.

Re: xwinclip shouldn't monitor the primary selection
Think what you want in five minutes, but I have worked on it for over a year and it isn't as simple as you think. Keep your suggestions to yourself if you don't have anything concrete to contribute. Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry. I have searched the maillist and I've read several times that xwinclip must be rewritten, but I can't find why. In January, you said that you are planning to integrate xwinclip into the X server to be able to detect when an application asserts a selection ownership (at least, it's what I understant :-?). I think that this is a dead end, because an X application doesn't need to notify the X server when the selection content changes. For example, gvim asserts the primary selection ownership when you begins the drag operation and doesn't assert it again when you release the mouse button. Nonetheless, monitoring the primary selection is a bad idea. The primary selection is a secondary way of coping and pasting, an easter egg for expert users and is very volatile. The main way of cutting, coping and pasting must be the clipboard selection. Look at http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/clipboards.txt. So I think that xwinclip must ignore the primary selection. Good bye!

problem with Mozilla 1.4 beta running on Sparc Solaris 2.6 and
displayed
in
my XFree 86 running in multi-window mode. Mozilla starts fine.
However,
whenever I click in the address bar to enter a new URL, Mozilla aborts
with
the following error when I click in the address bar.
mozilla ./mozilla

Major opcode of failed request: 17 (X_GetAtomName)
Atom id in failed request: 0xc000
Serial number of failed request: 2467

Mozilla running from Linux/x86 doesn't show the same problem and works
perfectly. Any clue what's wrong with Mozilla on Sparc Solaris?
Thanks.

Re: Multiwindow mode problem with Mozilla/Phoenix on Solaris
Rob,
Welcome to the world of threads. The clipboard manager and window
manager run in their own threads within the X Server process... there is
likely to be a bug in one of those modules or in the supporting modules.
I have no idea which module actually contains the bug at this point.
How prepared are you to help with debugging? I mean, you are in the CS
department at Stanford, so I would expect that you can help us quite a
bit, no? :)

Hi Harold
I update to XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-42 and mozilla still crashes when I click on
the address bar. But it doesn't crash if I do not use -clipboard. So, is
-clipboard the problem? How come I don't have a problem with -clipboard
if mozilla is run from Linux instead?
Thanks.

Rob,
Please update to XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-42.
I forget... did I already ask you to try this without using -clipboard (you
are using -clipboard, right)? If not, please try this without
using -clipboard and report your results.

Re: ooh, ooh! more nitpicking
Jack, Yeah, that is definitely a feature that people getting paid to program would implement. :) I think we have many more fundamental problems to solve before we worry about such issues. Harold Jack Tanner wrote: So I love the fact that my X-forwarded apps now show up in the Alt-Tab list with their proper icons. Except that now there's no way to distinguish at a glance between, say, a Mozilla running locally and a Mozilla running remotely -- they have the same icon. How about this for overloading a simple feature and opening a gazillion cans of worms: the icon shown for each X application in the Alt-Tab list (as well as in the taskbar, for completeness sake), gets it's default icon but with an faint X11-style letter X in the background. This letter X should be visible no matter what my system colors are. As a bonus point, the number of the X display should be embedded next to the X to disambiguate between the same application being shown on different X servers, but this bonus functionality should only be enabled if more than one X server is actually running. Flames to /dev/null; granted, this is a silly idea but it does point out a problem. Additional information could be sought by seeing how other application-forwarding software (e.g., VNC, NetMeeting, PC Anywhere, Citrix Metaframe or their ilk) disambiguate under such circumstances, or if they bother to do anything at all. For those still reading, here's an entertaining note: the citrix.com site currently carries an ad which reads Citrix embraces and extends Windows Server 2003. -JT

Hi-Jack, All the local MS applications should have a big yellow 'M' in their icon foregrounds. remote Macs should have a big red 'X' (OS X only!)), Suns a big 'S', HP's a big 'P' etc. I'm sure they will all oblige and change their icons, after all X came first (or did it?). Post it to their help desks (beware, some charge just to ask a question), they love to change things willy-nilly.

Efforts to make xwinclip/-clipboard not steal the selection [Fwd:[Xoncygwin-cvs] CVS Update: xc (branch: trunk)]
Okay, since the selection stealing by xwinclip/-clipboard probably generates the largest amount of annoying questions on this mailing list, I decided to finally spend a little time trying to redo this properly. I had been meaning to look at Keith Packard's XFIXES extension that was added to the XFree86 CVS last November and was subsequently removed before 4.3.0 was released. Tonight I looked through the pieces that of that patch that added a new type of callback function for selection changes. Callbacks for this can be registered by calling AddCallback... Tonight I applied those few pieces of Keith's code for the selection callback to our SourceForge CVS tree. I also added a file to hw/xwin called winclipboardcallback.c and I added a call in winscrinit.c that registers a callback. Forgive the poor function names... but it is past bed time (you'll know what I mean if you look at the CVS). The code compiles and runs. When the selection changes, it prints a message to the log file via ErrorF. So, we are at least able to detect when the selection changes now. There are two steps that I will be taking next (or appreciating help from others on): 1) Make a few simple changes to the -clipboard functionality that registers a callback for the selection change events. Stop stealing the selection when something in X is copied. This would immediately improve -clipboard since it would no longer steal the selection and it would still support wonderful things like non-ANSI text conversion. 2) Change the clipboard functionality from an X Client to just another set of functions in the X Server. This is possible because we no longer have to wait for the X Client SelectionNotify events, etc., but it may prove difficult to find the X Server interface to the functions that convert selections into the desired format. On the other hand, this may be really easy. I would *really* like to do (1) first, even if (2) were to follow as soon as later the same day. I think that (1) is achievable within 8 hours. I may have something tomorrow. I would appreciate if others would look into (2) in the mean time.

Possible X-Wndows problem
I had Cygwin crash on me the other day and was wondering if this is my machine doing this (like it ran out of memory or some such) or if it was a known problem with Cygwin. What happened: I wrote a small program which opened a 400x400 pixel screen and then proceeded to write to each pixel varying colors. The program worked at first but after allowing the program to run several hours while it randomly wrote colors to the dots (in the proper range of course), Cygwin crashed and died leaving the system in an unstable state (ie: I had to reboot my Windows box). System Statistics: Pentium-4 3.0Ghz cpu 512MB of memory Standard things like keyboard, optical mouse, scanner, etc Lots of hard drive space (11GB free) Notes: I was not using OpenGL but was rather using the standard X Windows/Motif drawing routines to handle the drawing of the dots. I am thinking that due to the enormous number of times Cygwin had to write a single dot, then update the window, that maybe I ran into some kind of a buffer overflow. I have run my test program and Cygwin does die each time. Usually after a couple of hours. So it takes quite a while to build up to whatever it is that is causing this. I am trying to reduce the overall program down to where I can post the example program but if anyone has run into this before, I would appreciate an e-mail or a post pointing me in the right direction. TIA to whomever answers. Mark

With this patch, xwinclip works as a Windows user would expect.
With a few lines, I've configured xterm and emacs to copy/paste to/from the clipboard:
~/.Xresources:
*VT100.Translations: #override \
Shift KeyPress Insert: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
Ctrl KeyPress Insert: select-set(CLIPBOARD) \n\
~/.emacs:
(global-set-key [S-delete] 'clipboard-kill-region)
(global-set-key [S-insert] 'clipboard-yank)
(global-set-key [C-insert] 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
Gnome 12, Gvim, and KDE 3 works correctly.
I acknow that there is lots of old applications (KDE12 mainly) that ignores
completely the clipboard, so I will try to rewrite xwinclip as a windows
taskbar app that will allow to copy (at user request) the primary selection to the
clipboard and vice versa.

RE: NTsec permissions issue over inet
Steve, Windows security is built in such a way that it won't trust authentication tokens from remote machines that don't contain a password. Thus, if you use passwordless ssh or rexec, the token created will be enough for the local machine, but won't be accepted by a remote share. Password-authenticated ssh *will* let you access network shares (you may have to re-authenticate for the share itself by providing a user and password to net use. An alternative is to run sshd from a shell owned by the user you'll be logging in as, and then you should be able to use passwordless authentication and access network shares too, at the price of not being able to log in as other users. You might be able to pull the same trick with inetd as well (i.e., don't --install-as-service)... In this case, they will reuse the token created when you logged in, IIUC.

For example, on my machine: igor::1001:544:Igor Pechtchanski,U-igor,S-1-5-21-1681344628-1719607816-643004363-1001:/home/igor:/bin/bash ^ The underlined part is the SID. The sequence of digits after the last - (dash) is 1001, so my real user id is 1001. In your case, it will be some large number.

Since miniperl is used to build the rest of perl (the shared core and all the modules) I cannot build perl. I haven't debugged it yet. I'll need to debug it, I know. Hint: Be careful to strictly separate your building environment in two parts, one with libcygwin.a and the headers from 1.3.22 (for building 1.3.x compatible applications) and one with libcygwin.a and the headers from the snapshot (building non-compatible 64 bit applications which only run under the latest (1.5.0) snapshots so far). If you only install the DLL and libcygwin.a from the snapshot but don't replace the header files, too, the resulting applications are very good candidates for crashing. Applications build with new headers but with the old libcygwin.a as well. Headers and stub library must match to work.

Path separator
I am looking to enhance SWISH-E ( http://www.swish-e.org )to support Cygwin. It builds and runs just fine, but internally the code takes a configuration parameter and if it is a shell-command, converts all of the / characters to \. For example, if IndexDir is set to c:/swish-e/bin/spider.pl, then this gets converted to c:\swish-e\bin\spider.pl and gets passed to popen(). This works well for running within the Win32 environment, but causes problems within Cygwin (Cannot execute c:swish-ebinspider.pl). Currently the code simply has: #ifdef _WIN32 make_windows_path( cmd ); #endif and make_windows_path() blindly replaces '/' for '\'. I'd like to have one binary support both Cygwin and native Win32 environments. Suggestions on the cleanest way? I figure that I can either: - detect at runtime whether we're in Cygwin (how?) - use an environment variable to determine the appropriate path separator (is there one?)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin Package: proftpd-1.2.9rc1-2
New News: === I have updated the version of ProFTPD to 1.2.9rc1-2. The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. This version was built from the official ProFTPD 1.2.9rc1 tarball with two small patches applied to: 1. handle textmode mounts properly 2. fix the empty ls / problem See the following for the details, if interested: http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2043 http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2075 Old News: === ProFTPD is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security, and ease of configuration. It features a very Apache-like configuration syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support for multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based directory visibility. See the ProFTPD home page for more details: http://www.proftpd.org/ Please read the README file: /usr/doc/Cygwin/proftpd-1.2.9rc1.README since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically.

Observation - ntemacs + rcs + cygwin note (lowercase+uppercase userid workaround)
First off, I know this is slightly offtopic since it mentions a program
(ntemacs) which is not part of cygwin, but I figured I would just chime in
with a finding which may be potentially useful to cygwin users who use
ntemacs.
I use ntemacs in preference to the cygwin /usr/bin/emacs, because of the
native gui. I have a cygwin wrapper that does cygpath -w to my cygwin path
names, and then passes the arg list to ntemacs. I found that on some
machines, ntemacs+rcs would behave very strangely. I would be asked to steal
the lock from willisma -- my userid. It worked fine on other machines.
This did not occur in cygwin /usr/bin/emacs by the way.
I found that vc-user-login-name was returning WILLISMA but the rcs file
was locked by willisma. Case sensitive comparison. Anyway, the simplest
workaround I found was to put a single line in my ntemacs script converting
USERNAME to the lowercase.
#!/bin/sh
# ntemacs.sh - a cygwin wrapper for ntemacs
export USERNAME=`echo $USERNAME | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`
WNAMES=
for k in $* ; do
WNAMES=${WNAMES} `cygpath -w $k`
done

Cygwin rsh/socket bug?
I cannot figure out how to get the job to detach -- the rsh always waits for the job to finish, which is not what I want. I just want to fire up a command on a remote machine and forget about it. E.g., the following hangs: rsh cygwin-machine 'some_command /dev/null /dev/null 21 ' (If I got something slightly wrong there, keep in mind that it's an example so you can see what I mean -- I am actually using a script that I have used for years on UNIX machines.) I got this to work properly by wrapping the remote command with a PERL script that invokes shutdown() on STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR and then close(). I assume this is some kind of bug in Cygwin or in.rshd -- all I have to do on UNIX machines is close() on the same descriptors and the rsh client disconnects as desired. -- Joe Buehler -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Here is a stacktrace: (gdb) where #0 strlen () at ../../../../../../cygwin-1.3.22-1/newlib/libc/machine/i386/strl en.S:27 #1 0x61058e2a in conv_path_list_buf_size(char const*, bool) (path_list=0x16be76 0 c:/cygwin/home/mccap, to_posix=false) at ../../../../cygwin-1.3.22-1/winsup/ cygwin/path.h:146 #2 0x61058f09 in cygwin_posix_to_win32_path_list_buf_size (path_list=0x16be760 c:/cygwin/home/mccap) at ../../../../cygwin-1.3.22-1/winsup/cygwin/path.cc:354 5 #3 0x005da72f in readlink_and_correct_case (name=0x16be760 c:/cygwin/home/mcca p, buf=0x16be3c0 , size=258) at realpath.c:86 #4 0x005da0f7 in qxe_realpath (path=0x16be60c C:\\cygwin\\home\\mccap\\Mail\\I DRM, resolved_path=0x16be760 c:/cygwin/home/mccap) at realpath.c:298 #5 0x004d7e95 in Ffile_truename (filename=284683204, default_=7006212) at filei o.c:1368 #6 0x00411d46 in Fget_file_buffer (filename=284683204) at buffer.c:508 #7 0x0046b5a3 in Ffuncall (nargs=2, args=0x16be9d0) at eval.c:3843 #8 0x0041eb96 in execute_optimized_program (program=0x1028f810 Æ\016\016!ÇE\01 6\016!!\032\211\036\017rfÉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED])[EMAIL PROTECTED] \035E\034\016\021«-\b«*\f¬'\r«$r\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\024)\rA\025ªO\f,*\207, sta ck_depth=5, constants_data=0x83c410) at bytecode.c:609 #9 0x00474221 in funcall_compiled_function (fun=8681144, nargs=1, args=0x16beb5 4) at opaque.h:36 #10 0x0046b4c6 in Ffuncall (nargs=2, args=0x16beb50) at eval.c:3881 #11 0x0041eb96 in execute_optimized_program (program=0x102dbc90 A\b!r\025AA!«\b AA\b!!r\tAÄ!-\004Ä\b!\207, stack_depth=3, constants_data=0x102bd250) at bytecod e.c:609 #12 0x00474221 in funcall_compiled_function (fun=271396316, nargs=1, args=0x16be cc8) at opaque.h:36 #13 0x0046b4c6 in Ffuncall (nargs=2, args=0x16becc4) at eval.c:3881 #14 0x0041eb96 in execute_optimized_program (program=0x105af610 \0161?\205!\001 Æ Ç\0162\211E\211\211\211\211\211\211\211\211\032\030\0365\035\036.\036/\034\e\0 366\0367\0368\0361\031Ép!¬\036\0162«\vEEIIp!\!¬\020IIIp!\\210DÑ!\210E\202U, s tack_depth=14, constants_data=0x10319810) at bytecode.c:609 #15 0x00474221 in funcall_compiled_function (fun=271701644, nargs=1, args=0x16be e64) at opaque.h:36 #16 0x0046b4c6 in Ffuncall (nargs=2, args=0x16bee60) at eval.c:3881 #17 0x0041eb96 in execute_optimized_program (program=0x105aa650 \t«\005AÄ!\210\ bÅ=«\bÆ\nÇ\211E$\207É\n!\207, stack_depth=5, constants_data=0x1030b790) at byte code.c:609 #18 0x00474221 in funcall_compiled_function (fun=271701600, nargs=1, args=0x16be fe4) at opaque.h:36 #19 0x0046b4c6 in Ffuncall (nargs=2, args=0x16befe0) at eval.c:3881 #20 0x0041eb96 in execute_optimized_program (program=0x10273110 Æ\026\030\v«\0 27\f«\rÇ\fEÉ \v\\v#\210ª\026E\n\v\\210ª\017\f«\aE\f!\210ª\006E\nÆ\\210I Æ\031 \035I [EMAIL PROTECTED]@q\210\016\031I=«5D\211\021«0\016\032¬,\016\e¬(\016\034 ¬$Ñ ¬\v\b«\bOO \b\¬\026OÆ!«\021\016\035¬\nO «\006Ö \210ª\004x \210)\rA\025ª_\t? -\021\r?-\r\f«\006E\f!ª\005E\nÆ\*\207ï_-_l±+\020ï_-_, stack_depth=5, constants _data=0x10319e10) at bytecode.c:609 #21 0x00474221 in funcall_compiled_function (fun=271700500, nargs=0, args=0x16bf 164) at opaque.h:36 #22 0x0046b4c6 in Ffuncall (nargs=1, args=0x16bf160) at eval.c:3881 #23 0x0041eb96 in execute_optimized_program (program=0x16bf1d4 Æ \eÇ\216\f\035E \211\032\031E\211\030\036\rE\211\036\016\034E\211\036\017\036\020É\r!«\fEE\r!I\r !\\210ª\006E\r! \210.\vE\2070D\206, stack_depth=5, constants_data=0x888690) at bytecode.c:609 #24 0x00420795 in Fbyte_code (instructions=8827156, constants=8947328, stack_dep th=11) at lisp.h:2588 #25 0x0046ac30 in Feval (form=8982592) at eval.c:3602 #26 0x00467c41 in condition_case_1 (handlers=8829184, bfun=0x469da0 Feval, bar g=8982592, hfun=0x473dd0 run_condition_case_handlers, harg=8922580) at eval.c: 1917 #27 0x00467f62 in condition_case_3 (bodyform=8982592, var=8922580, handlers=8829 184) at eval.c:1999 #28 0x0041fb9d in execute_rare_opcode (stack_ptr=0x16bf5a8, program_ptr=0x101819 c5 \210)[EMAIL PROTECTED] 36\037«\fÜ\016\037!«\006\212Y \210))\f.\a\207, opcode=Bcondition_case) at bytec ode.c:1134 #29 0x0041e97f in execute_optimized_program (program=0x10181910 Æ\016\036!ÇEÇ\2 11\211É\036 \030\032\031\034\035\eE\024EE!«\021\016\v:«\f\016\v\022II \n\\021ª EI!«\027\016\016:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \n\[EMAIL PROTECTED] 025Ñ\r!«\aO\r!\020ª\rO\rIO\r!\016!Z]\\210Ñ\r!«\020I\b\n\IV¬\017\tO\r!Wª\006O\r !IV«%Ñ\r!«\030\tO\r!W«\n\fO\r!\tZ^ª\r\fO\r!^ª\006\fO\r!^\024ª\024Ñ\r!«\aO\rI \\ 210Ö\216xOU\217\210)[EMAIL PROTECTED]..., stack_dept h=8, constants_data=0x883b10) at bytecode.c:515 #30 0x00474221 in funcall_compiled_function (fun=8924768, nargs=1, args=0x16bf73 4) at opaque.h:36 #31 0x0046b4c6 in Ffuncall (nargs=2, args=0x16bf730) at

winsock error 10048 (errno 112) from ssh
I am running CYGWIN_NT-5.0 WS117V0509 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) 2003-03-18 09:20 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin under Windows 2000 w/latest service pack. I have noticed this little odd behaviour for a while, and I have tried a couple of upgrades to ssh to see if that will alleviate the problem, but to no avail. When running ssh, I notice that after a variable amount of time, my ssh session locks up. I have also noticed this using scp with large transfers. The amount of time between locks can vary, but lately it seems to be happening more frequently. I have run an strace on the session, and I can include it if needed, but it's 4+ MB, so I won't unless asked for.

Calling gcc built DLL from .NET (Visual Basic)
Does anyone have a good example that shows how to create a DLL using
cygwin/gcc and call it using VB .NET? I am specifically interested in an
example that shows how to pass a String variable. In the example that I
show below, I am able to call a C function. I can successfully pass a long
integer. But the string that I pass shows garbage in the called function.
My dll code looks like...
(test.c)
#include stdio.h
#include wtypes.h
define EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
EXPORT int myTest(char *s1, long i1) {
printf(Here is the string %s, here is the integer %ld.\n,s1, i1);
}
I then compile as follows:
$ gcc -c test.c
$ gcc -shared -o test.dll test.o
(I have also tried several combinations of linking and compiling with
different options).
In my Visual Basic .NET console application, I create a class that wraps the
myTest function and then call it from main as follows:
Public Class LibWrap
Declare Function myTest Lib
c:\cygwin\home\Administrator\test_dll\test.dll (ByRef s1 As String, ByVal
i1 As Long) As Integer
End Class
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim test As String
test = My String
LibWrap.myTest(test, 6432)
LibWrap.myTest(test, 20)
LibWrap.myTest(test, 3000)
End Sub
End Module
I also modified the path environment variable so vb finds the class path
to cygwin.
As I mentioned, I am able to pass integers successfully, but strings don't
seem to get marshaled to (char *). I recognize that the .NET String
implementation is different, but thought the .NET marshaling would take care
of conversion. A simple working example would be extremely helpful.
Thanks

Respond ASAP
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL PLS. REPLY TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Dear Friend, I am highly compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you this very urgent and confidential letter. I do hope my letter will not embarrass you since I had no previous correspondence with you. I hope this mail will not come to you as a surprise. I am sending this proposal with due sense of humanity, responsibility and with few awareness that you will give it a sympathetic attention. I regree t the inconvenience it may cause you based on the condition that we have not met before. I am Mrs. Jumai Mustapha, the wife of Al Mustapha, personal assistant to the Late head of state of Federal Republic of Nigeria - General Sani Abacha. I am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be of great assistance to each other like wise developing a cordial relationship. My husband along with the head of state and top officials of their past administration has been accused of looting several Billion United States Dollars from the Nigeria Government. The current attitude of the present government towards my family has indeed made life quite unbearable for us. Fortunately, Al Mustapha my Husband has Twelve million and five hundred thousand United States Dollars(US$12.5 million) cash, which he intended to use for investment purposes overseas. This money is kept in a private security company. This money was deposited for safe keeping in the security vault of a freighting agency here by my husband preparatory to being air lifted abroad for investment purposes before his arrest leaving a clause that it could only be claimed by an expertriate partner. It is only my husband and myself that know where the money is kept. Due to the current situation in the country concerning governmentÂ’s vendetta toward my family, we seek your assistance to transfer this money out of Nigeria for the purpose of investment as intended by my husband. Note that my family is currently being probed by this present government for alleged involvement in misappropriation of public funds during their regime. Towards this effect, an embargo restricting my family members from traveling or carrying out financial transactions without their express permission is in force. Right now, my husband (Al Mustapha) is under arrest and is being detained in connection to the above and other activities of his late Boss. However, I have an arrangement on how to freight this money to you after receiving some assurances from you of the safety our own share and that you will only take the commission that we will offer you. This money personally belongs to my husband and he intends that it still be used for investment. No record ever existed concerning this money, neither is the money traceable by the government because there is no documentation concerning the funds in the Federal Treasury. The freighting company to be used has now been introduced to me and as so on as we receive your readiness to assist us recieve this fund we shall formalize the deposit documents in your name and reach an agreement with them to air lift the consignment for your pick up. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund, we propose a commission of 15%(Fifteen Percent) of the total sum to you for the expected services and assistance. While 5% is mapped out for miscellaneous expenses. On your positive consent, I shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss about this. Your urgent response is highly needed. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential, while I await your prompt response. Best regards, MRS. JUMAI AL MUSTAPHA

'fortune', 'strfile' binmode
After significant searching, I
discovered that 'fortune' requires
'strfile' to create the index database
('.dat' file) for each text file of
fortunes.
('strfile' is not listed under See
also: 'man fortune' and hence does not
appear in the output of 'apropos
fortune'. The 'man' page needs to be
updated. I will do it myself, if someone
will explain how to submit the change.
This is a change to GNU fortune 'man'
page, not Cygwin anything.)
However, when I execute 'strfile' on a
fortune file -- say, 'fortune', to
produce an index file -- e.g.,
'fortune.dat', it doesn't quite get the
index right.
I've tried (I think) all combinations of:
* 'strfile', 'strfile -r'
* UNIX and DOS line endings and
character sets (LF vs CRLF, ANSI vs
DOS)
* Cygwin=nobinmode ... vs.
Cygwin=binmode ...
and no luck.
Suggestions?

This works perfectly on a Linux system, but the when executed on Cygwin just gives an empty starfield (which should be the background of the globe) and a line through the center...

I'm a high intermediate skill level C/C++ programmer with little to no experience in threads, X11, etc... I am however a great Java developer. but that's useless here. ;-) b) creating a new package for submittal and approval. * I have a working nethack 3.4.0 for example.

Re: Path Seperator
Simply check for the presence of ';' in PATH, if it exists that is the seperator else ':' is the seperator. Of course Win32 environment typically will not return the value of PATH as the lookup for environment variable is case sensitive and the variable name is Path instead.

No argument from me here. :-) A native/Cygwin dual-mode binary sounds like a clever idea, but AFAIK has never been done before, and is probably ridiculously infeasible on the balance of work/benefit. I don't see that the amount of work is ridiculous at all. Any portable code will have a path-conversion (canonicalization) function in place for any and all file system access. That canonicalization should be able to determine the PATH_SEPARATOR for the given environment. For my code to support win32 and cygwin, I only need to know what the PATH_SEPARATOR is for the current running environment. It may not be in Cygwin right now, but wouldn't this be a Good Thing (and benign for those who want to ignore it)? Drastic oversimplification. For example, one other thing you would need to do, is dynamically link to cygwin1.dll, which is not supported, because no one is sufficiently interested and has the time to research and write the code allow that to happen. Max is right (surprised Max? ;-) ) But I want to point out something else about what you've said. If your main concern is paths, don't convert '/' to '\'. Windows understands both under the hood.

At least, I don't think they support it...but again, its been a long while since I've sat in front of such a box. From the MSDN: File Name Conventions Although each file system can have specific rules about the formation of individual components in a directory or file name, all file systems follow the same general conventions: a base file name and an optional extension, separated by a period. For example, the MS-DOS FAT file system supports 8 characters for the base file name and 3 characters for the extension. This is known as an 8.3 file name. The FAT file system and NTFS support file names that can be up to 255 characters long. This is known as a long file name. To get an MS-DOS file name given a long file name, use the GetShortPathName function. To get the full path of a file, use the GetFullPathName function. Both file systems use the backslash (\) character to separate directory names and the file name when forming a path. General rules for applications creating names for directories and files or processing names supplied by the user include the following: Use any character in the current code page for a name, but do not use a path separator, a character in the range 0 through 31, or any character explicitly disallowed by the file system. A name can contain characters in the extended character set (128255). Use the backslash (\), the forward slash (/), or both to separate components in a path. No other character is acceptable as a path separator. Note that UNC names must adhere to the following format: \\server\share. . . . So there may be a need to backslashify the UNC portion of a path. Other than that, forward slashes are fine. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
