Just a guess, perhaps Morse is a 2 or more dimensional array type rather

No, don't think so...

The reason why I have not released LogConv 1.54 for Linux is that I am
having problems with packed structures that is causing some file formats
to not be handled properly. Even though I specify -fpack_struct the
generated code does not appear to actually do this. Structure fields
are
offset and the return from sizeof() returns a value that is not valid.
For instance, if the structure were:
struct foo {
char text[3];
int num;
};
sizeof would return 6 and not 5. So it's obvious that the compiler is
placing a pad byte between text and num to align num. I want it to
stop!

HP deskjet 710C problems
Hi, I am trying to use a HP deskjet 710C printer with my debian box. I previously had a star matrix printer hooked up, which used to work fine, so the cable and driver (lp.o) seems OK. Now, with the deskjet, if I do a 'cat document /dev/lp0', the printer remains silent. Shouldn't this always work, independent of which filter package I am using? When I use lpr (from the LPRng package) the file status.lp, from the spool directory, says that the document is printed OK, but nothing coming out of the printer. I use magicfilter with the dj550c filter. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Joop -- Joop [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Hamradio Applications and Utilities Homepage http://www.casema.net/~aba

I know that the 722c is a windows printer and will need special drivers to do anything. I know someone was looking into to this a while ago, but don't know if they succeded in producing working drivers. At that time, HP was tight lipped about their protocol. I bought a 722c (returned and) replaced it with a 890c when I found out. It is indeed a windows printer, but thanks to the good work of Tim Norman at http://www.rpi.edu/~normat/technical/ppa/index.html you can use it with linux. He wrote a nice utility called pbm2ppa which converts postscript and ascii to the ppa language, used by HP deskjet 710, 720, 820 and 1000 series. I just found this out today.

Re: Please Help! Broke lots with apt-get...
Hi, Scenario: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade Somewhere in the middle, package installations are failing with: error in loading shared libraries /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info I think I had managed to fix it once by downgrading libc to libc6_2.0.7u-5.deb I then managed to unintentionally delete this file and I can't seem to locate it again. Is there any good way to fix this without downgrading (some other packages want to see the unstable libc stuff)? Yes, wait for libstdc++2.9-2.91.59-1 to appear in the archives. You must download it with ftp and then install with dpkg -i. apt and dselect won't work. TIA, Fred -- Joop [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Sound Card
Hi folks, Another (probably) dumb question, about the sound module for my SoundBlaster card... During the config (menuconfig) one is asked for the IRQ and DMA settings, but it seems to expect one DMA of 1 or 3, and another of either 5,6, or 7. This worked fine on my other PC (Jazz16 with IRQ7, DMA 3,5) but my soundblaster is DMA 1 and 3... the sound module compile and installs (even loads with insmod OK), but when called (xquake starts) it has an error during the DMA initialisation... Am I missing something obvious here? In dos and windows you will see a low DMA (1) and a high DMA (3). In linux it is not the same. Don't know why. You have to use 1 and 5 with the linux sound driver Thanks, Andrew -- Joop [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Ifconfig
I have a question about ifconfig. I have a machine that I am trying to configure to put onto a local network. I'm an assigning it IP address 192.168.76.76 I type: ifconfig eth0 192.168.76.76 then I check it with ifconfig and everything is correct. I reboot the machine, and recheck ifconfig -- it's wrong. It resets the IP address to 192.168.1.1 everytime! Currently, I do not have this machine physically hooked up to the network, because I was just doing the configuration and I didn't want to knock another (very important) machine off the network. If the ethernet card is not actually hooked up to the network, will that cause this reset to happen upon every boot? Check the scripts in the /etc/init.d directory. These are run at boot-time. Chances are that one of these scripts will configure your network... How do I get it to stay at 192.168.76.76? - Amanda Shuler | I don't want to start any [EMAIL PROTECTED] | blasphemous rumours, but... - -- Joop [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now it seems I can't get the problem to go away. Netscape will load but it will not go anywhere or do anything except it takes up 100% of my processor time and won't close unless I kill -9 the process. I have tried every version of Netscape from 4.02-4.05 experimental and experience the same problem. I can't even use it now because of this. Very annoying. Maybe this helps: I seem to recall netscape can hang quite a while when it cannot reach a nameserver. When it starts up, it tries to connect home.netscape.com. Anybody have ideas about what is wrong?
