[ports/science/paraview]: /usr/local/lib/paraview-2.4/tk8.4/tk.tcl: no event type or button # or keysym

2009-10-13 Thread Heiner Strauß
 

 Before posting a PR I'll ask whether this error I receive after a fresh 
 installation of paraview from ports today on FreeBSD 8.0-RC1/amd64 is an 
 serious issue or something related on misconfiguration.
 
 Besides, tcl/tk 8.4 is up to date and present on the system.
 Hope someone can help,
 
 regards,
 Oliver

 This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.
 

Hello,
this happens because Xorg changed the event model in 7.4 and Tk not. A quick 
fix is to comment out the mouse events in paraview. A better fix is to patch 
Tk, someone already wrote it.

Greetings,
Heiner

 I'll second that.  My first job for Uncle Sugar was on a DEC
 10/55
 for the Air Force, and 36-bit words were a fact of life.  There
 were
 lots of programs around for conversion to/from 32-bit words, just
 so
 we could talk to everybody else on Earth.
 
 CDC (Control Data) mainframe machines used 6 bit characters.
 I believe the 3600 series had 36 bit words.
 The 6000 series (6400, 6500, etc, plus 170/750) used 60 bit words
 but still used 6 bit characters.  So, everything was all upper case.
 It had 12 bit 'peripheral processors' which tended the 60 bit main 
 processor[s] so later started to use 12 bit characters or sometimes 8 
 in 12 to allow for upper/lower case.   That was a Seymour Cray thing.
 He designed their early mainframes before he bolted to make his
 own companies (so he wouldn't have to conform to corporate control).

And I always thought it was 14 bit with 7 bit characters, perhaps this
is why my outputs looked strange :) This was the last model I've used:

http://www.cray-cyber.org/systems/cy960.php

 Later CDC came out with their 180 series that used 64 bit words
 and 8 bit bytes. It was kind of a nice system but it was too late for 
 them.  The world was turning to clusters of cheap CPU chips running
 UNIX
 instead of massive mainframes running proprietary OSen and CDC didn't 
 jump on that bandwagon soon or strongly or cheaply enough.
 
 Anyway, in those earliest of days, 6 bits was the economical character
 set.  But it was an obstacle to upper/lower case characters without
 using some shift code.   IBM and DEC started doing 8 bit bytes - I
 don't 
 know just when - and that allowed eash use of upper/lower characters
 and
 so quickly determined the standard character size for a long time.

Didn't need lower case at this time. REAL PROGRAMMERS USED FORTRAN

http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html

The problem was, the programmers packed the string into integer arrays.
2 characters in 1 integer saved a lot of space, but the VAX didn't like
this style.

   Now 
 that 8 bit byte is a thorn in the side of those who want to create
 and 
 universalize a character set that is international.

Wasn't it just 3 or 4 releases ago FreeBSD went 8 bit clean ?

   The 6 letters limit was actually a restriction of earlier
   linkers and it affected all identifiers of linkable objects
  
  I did not know that linkers resolved macros those days.
 
 Of course they didn't. But knowing that linkers restricted the
 identifiers' length to 6 chars, it made sense for preprocessors
 to restrict them as well before passing them to the compiler
 and linker.
 
 Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that, but the basic
 restriction came from the linkers, the preprocessors only inherited
 it.
 
  Interesting.

Putting the symbol names in one word helped the linker / loader a lot.
Live was so easy.

Re: 5000' ethernet?

2009-07-17 Thread Heiner Strauß

  Option 2:  Put an ordinary DSL modem at one end and a DSLAM at the
  other end.  Again I'm not sure what the range is, but DSL used to
  be referred to as the solution for the last mile from the telco
  to the customer so it may be up to the job.
 
 I could recommend this too,  because  a  Lucent Stinger IP DSLAM
 with
 24 ports with 8 Mbit Downstream and 1 Mbit upstream cost arround 800
 US$
 and you can use inexpensive 2 wire (or multiple) telephone cable.
 
 The Lucent Stinger IP DSLAM support 8 Mbit in a distance of 6000ft
 and
 DSL lite with 384 kbit on 15000ft.
 
 
 

If T1/E1 speed is enough, there are cards working with FreeBSD. If the
CSU/DSU is on the card, I think you don't need extra equip and you have
a symmetrical line. Should be OK for some miles with ordinary field
telephone cable. You configure these cards almost like normal network
cards if you run IP over them.

Greetings,
Heiner
