You'll actually want to modify $HOME/.marimba/prefs.txt. /usr/local/castanet/lib/tuner/properties.txt is part of the tuner update channel or "lib" channel and will be overwritten should you do a tuner update.

There are no stupid questions, only small actors. (Or something like that :-). The official home of the Linux Jdk effort is at http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html . Others may have packaged it into RPMs or whatever (not that I've seen anything in the Redhat archives), but blackdown is the source. They're currently distributing their v.2 of the Jdk 1.1.6 implementation. Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
1.1.6 bug?
I just grabbed the pop3 beans from: http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/Home/ I unzipped the file, ran the demo, and started getting a bunch of bogus free messages. Then I quit the application and the jvm dumped core. It's extremely reproduceable. I'm running Redhat 5.1 with all of the latest updates and the 1.1.6v2 jdk. Thanks for a great port, Steve. david

I can't help you much with java-linux printing, but some general java-printing advice: don't beat it too hard, since it's pretty broken. We dumped direct printing from our product since under Win32 JDK (our usual deployment platform) it tended to crash the application completely about 1/2 the time. In general, it was a real pain to code too... Now, we take snapshots, dump them as PNG images (better JDK native support through zlib than gif), spit out some HTML that references them, and launch Netscape. This has worked really well. It sounds roundabout, but has given us more flexibility in the long run - the HTML template is stored in configuration files and can be different for each of our customers. Fixing printing is high on the list at Sun's bug parade; I suspect 1.2 will address this. But under 1.1 it is one of the, shall we say, less mature bits of the java core API. -- Paul Reavis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Design Lead Partner Software, Inc.http://www.partnersoft.com

JFC on Linux?
Will the JFC work on Linux? Does it need a special port? Jim.
Key events never sent to applet
When using appletviewer with the Linux JDK 1.1.[56] ports, the key event
functions are never called, (ie key{Up,Down} in Java 1.0.2 type programs
and KeyListener in Java 1.1 type programs.)
A simple Java 1.0.2 test program demonstrates this, it works (prints the
messages) when ran as a application, but as an applet the methods are
never called:
--
//
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class KeyTest102 extends Applet {
public void init() {
}
public void start() {
}
public boolean keyDown(Event evt, int key) {
System.out.println("Key " + key + " pressed...");
return true;
}
public boolean keyUp(Event evt, int key) {
System.out.println("Key " + key + " released...");
return true;
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
KeyTest102 applet = new KeyTest102();
Frame frame = new Frame("Key Test");
frame.add(applet, "Center");
frame.resize(100,100);
applet.init();
applet.start();
}

3.0 Tuner on Linux
Subject says most of it. I downloaded the solaris tuner, blew away the jdk and symlinked to 1.1.6v2 (glibc version), and killed the two solaris shared libs shipped with the tuner. All seemed to go well on startup, it threw up the splash screen and successfully downloaded two channels. It started up the "walkthrough" channel and I went through all that no problem, but the second channel (I guess the channel manager) would not start, throwing up a dialog: Channel ^0 requires capabilities, but it is not signed. At this point the tuner hangs and will not proceed. I don't care about having signed channel capability, I just want the tuner to work with normal channels (like playsite.) Is there any chance at all that someone at marimba can be persuaded to recompile the shared libs under linux and provide unsupported versions? There are several million linux users out there guys, this is an easy market to reach with minimal effort. Or can anyone suggest a workaround to get the 3.0 tuner running? Here's the output on startup, most of which looks reasonable under the circumstances, right up to the "ERROR:" line. syzygy:~> /usr/local/castanet/bin/tuner WARNING: Your operating system is unfamiliar.

GIF encoding is VERY SLOW; we wrote our own and it was pretty stinky. (My coworker, Brad Gray, actually did all this; I don't like to get my hands dirty with bits these days :-)). The problem seems to be that GIF encoding hits Java where it's slowest. Without native support it's hard to get it very fast. Not to mention the illegalities :-) So we dumped it and switched to PNG, since Netscape 4.05 supported it (we just bundle Netscape with our product now that it's free; this keeps us from worrying about formatting for different weird browsers). PNG is much better suited to awt-style images; the color model is very similar (4 byte RGBA is one option), you don't have to reduce the colors to 256 (yuck!), etc. But the real bonus is that it uses zlib compression, which is provided (presumably with native implementation) in java.util.zip or whatever. Compressing those babies is very very fast (as in ~5 mins for GIF, ~5 seconds for PNG compression) and we are real happy with Brad's encoder. I think there are some free PNG compressors out there for Java; if not writing your own is not too hard (assuming some experience with binary formats). The hardest part of these things is the compression, and all that's handled for you - you basically just have to name the chunks right, put things in the right order and feed the compression method. Our encoder isn't on my pile of things to clean up and LGPL, I'm afraid, so I can't give it to you :-< But really, finding one or even writing one shouldn't be too hard. One thing that made it easy for us (and therefore not as suitable for public release) is that we only implemented what we absolutely had to - no special features or anything, just a quick image dump. -- Paul Reavis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Design Lead Partner Software, Inc.http://www.partnersoft.com
