working directory
I need to setup a script that will create a working directory for an application. Here's the whole story. I have a java application which needs to start from the directory where it is as a working directory. The problem is that this application can be installed by the user anywhere on his system. So I need a way to start the application from the diectory it was saved in. In windows for example I can create a shortcut with a working directory, in Linux I don't know? One way is to use a script which I ask the user to set the working directory by him self. My question is if there are other ways to do it? -- shai = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

keymap switching
I have setup keyboard switching to work in my XF86 config file. (ALT+Shift + turning on scroll lock). My system boots level5 and runs the KDM user chooser.

hebrew display in java problem with linux
Hi all, I hope any of you can help... I use mandrake. I'm programming something in java that needs to get input in hebrew.What happens is strange: Say I use, for example, a JtextField or JTextArea. I set the font, the default locale... everything supports hebrew. more over, I also do setText and put in unicode (\u05d1\u05d2\u202c...). When running I see the text in hebrew displayed in the text input field with no problem. However, when typing hebrew in the same field I see squares. When I type hebrew in other non java applications it works. it looks like Java doesn't map the key typed correctly? in windows I have no problem with it I should mention I use linux with sdk1.4.1...

I'm using mandrake 9.0 with kde3. There is a keymap changing utility that comes with kde. Can someone explain to me what this small applet actually does and where it gets all the keyboard maps it uses?

Moreover, my XF86Conifg-4 loads a layout of us. It seems that the keyboard mapping applet does something else, gets the list from some where else can someone clarify this for me? Thanks

printing on novell
Before I asked how to connect to a novell network. I got good replys which really helped and I thank you all. I would like to add a small GUI application I found that deals with the network connection in a novell client style: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/1518.html I am now trying to print. In order to do so I need to use a small application called 'nprint'. I created a small printing script for nprint, and all I want is to be able to tell the printing deamon to print using that script. Doing so using 'printcap' is possible (:if=/var/spool/lpd/my_nprint_script:), however, (and there is my problem), I'm using mandrake 9.0 and this distribution is using CUPS. It seems that the 'printcap' configuration file is generated from cups, thus is will erase any changes I make to the 'printcap' file. The question is how can I set it up that the printer will use my small script for printing, by sending the generated print file as input to that script? Or, is there another way to connect to a novell printer without using the nprint script? (using ncp:// isn't good it doesn't deal with user credentials). shai

RE: open source - is it that good..???
I've read what you all have written. I tend to agree with all of you. On the one hand, looking at it through a business perspective, Open Source does promote waist of programming hours, thus I agree that one way is to form some sort of a committee which will be as widely accepted as possible and will do two things: 1. Give out certification for Open Source programs, according to some well thought out and defined requirement list which they will post. 2. Form some kind of road map for the Open Source project priority and preference. This means that they will give a higher priority, and better chance for certification for certain projects which follow that road map. Of course no one has to get this certification, however, looking at business processes, users will tend to want to use certified programs more than non-certified. This business fact will actually cause many Open Source projects either to disappear, or conform to that committee. On the other hand, Open Source, as it is today, promotes creativity. Out of such many projects come out very innovating and interesting ideas. If we change the environment on that, who knows how many ideas will simply get lost. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Yehuda Drori Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 8:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: open source - is it that good..??? hi...

RE: Whatsup - Important updates
OK, so what is it you may get in return for giving exclusivity to them? There must be something. If all you get is exposure, then I don't think it's worth it.

Opera 6
I have downloaded opera 6, just to have a look. Its a very nice looking browser. However I couldn't get it to show hewbrew correctly, the closest I got was to show hebrew inverted. Any Ideas?

heb fonts solved, previously hebrew fonts under linux

hebrew fonts under abiword
I have gotten my abiword to work with bidi, I also have the keyoard mapping correct, however I don't have hebrew fonts. I read that abiword uses it's own font directory. Can someone describe to me what I have to do inorder to install hebrew fonts for abiword. Is all I have to do is copy fonts to the directory and run the program to add them to the fonts.dir file? thanx = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Gnome Panel Menus
I trying to figure out where the menu defintitions are for the main menu on the panel. I once installed ximian gnome, and since then my main menu has four elements: Programs, Favorites, Settings, Desktop. The regular menu editors that come with gnome, and Mandrake (I'm using Mandrake 8.1) do not see these menus, and make a mess when I try to change the Programs menu. I want to know, also for personal knowlegde which are the configuration files that tell the panel (or menus) how to format them selves. I could see that there is some connection with the directory structure under .gnome/apps and .gnome/apps-mdk, however these do not describe the top level menus. Any info will be appreciated.

mouse problems continued - even weirder
This message is a reply to a previous thread I started before: can't get the mouse wheel to work First of all, thanks for all your previous replies. For those of you who suggested the different XF86Config-4 mouse settings, I've tried them all with no success. I even tried the Imwheel solution. However, from all the playing around I've discovered an interesting thing. I neglected to mention that my mandrake is installed on a ThinkPad T22 laptop. I also have a desktop with the same Linux installed. The same mouse works with the wheel on that desktop with no problems using the following settings: Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Device /dev/mouse Option Protocol imPS/2 Option Emulate3Buttons no Option ZaxisMapping 4 5 Now, using the same simple standard configuration on the laptop makes the same exact mouse to simply go crazy, meaning the pointer moves anywhere but where you want, the buttons don't. Any ideas why this is occurring, what can be the differences Shai
RE: Hebrew Linux from IBM?
Well, Usually IBM used to do its localization using a group (a company it owned) called Softel, which was set in Jerusalem. When IGSI was established IBM incorporated Softel into IGSI. It may have taken some of the localization development and moved it into IBM Haifa. The people in tel aviv are not actually supervising the development. -Original Message- The article also mentioned that work on this is being done in IBM's Haifa Research Center. Is that correct? I was under the impression that the work was being supervised by IBM people from Tel-Aviv, and programming was done together with an external company... = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
