xforms replacement

1998-07-09 Thread The Gecko
What is a "Free" graphics/windowing/x library out there?  I have a program
that's written for xforms that I'd like to port to something that can go in
main, not non-free.  fltk won't work.  I need the beable to plot graphs and
fltk doesn't implement the xyplot function group of xforms.

Come to think of it.. would a program requiring xforms go in non-free or
contrib?

Search in Deselect

1998-07-08 Thread The Gecko
It seems that dselect searches just the package names, is this correct?  Is
there a way to get dselect to search other fields such as the short and/or long
descriptions?

Audio/Video Broadcast

1998-07-02 Thread The Gecko
I have a problem, I'm looking for the solution and I'm wondering if Debian has
the software packaged to solve it... and if not if someone could point me to
the software I would need.

I need to broadcast video (say, from a capture card) and audio (ie.. from the
microphone) and data (say, a NFS mount) across a PPP connection between two
Debian boxes... 

I'm sure there's software out there to do this.. Or software that might need a
minor wedge between pieces.. Basicly I want to capture a performance at one
hall and display it on monitors at a second hall...

dosemu uses a disk image that's been created before hand.  To get dosemu to use
another *dos than the one it's currently using.. build another/different disk
image.. I built my image off of a floppy formated with MSDos 6x. I forgot the
exact commands I used (this was a few months back)...  See if that little bit
of information helps you... if not.. let me know and I'll dig out my notes back
when I was working with it.

/dev/ttyS* is the "latest standard".  /dev/cua* isn't really supported any
longer.

Maybe for some, but I avoid news groups.  I don't have the time it takes to
fire up the news reader, and wade through all the news groups I'd other wise
want to visit... if this list were to go to newsgroup form, I'd not be here any

In Dos6.x, fdisk /MBR would work just fine (regardless of number of partitions)
and not mess with the data on any of those partitions.  It just wrote to the
