Re: [U2] Time Travel

 hours and it took about 52 minutes.  It was virus scanned by AngelicHost

 excess wait time to the process.

What's also interesting in the headers is it seems the list host
server time is off.

your outbound server accepts your message to send: Mon, 26 Nov 2007
17:29:32 -0600
list server picks it up from your server: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:49:42 -0800

So, in fact, there is time travel involved!

(And, yes, I see the time zone difference.)

 What products are available to be able to create and manage Adobe pdf

The perl module pdf::api2 is pretty easy to use once you get past the
lack of documentation.  You can do some pretty slick things with the
different boxes.  I feed data documents built by a BP program to a
perl script which formats a nifty PDF for invoices, order
confirmations and the like.

Re: [U2] Populating Excel Templates from UniVerse

  Just wondering what methods would be suggested for populating Excel
 templates (invoices, work orders, etc.) with data from UniVerse.  We ve run
 into problems with the newer HP printers no longer supporting PCL commands
 and are looking for alternative forms printing options.

I've exported text files that populate a template with a manually-run
macro.  That works pretty well as long as the user is willing to run
the macro and as long as she doesn't upgrade Office!

I've exported spreadsheets using perl scripts and the writeexcel modules.

I've exported PDF using perl and the PDF API.  I highly recommend this
as my users can print the PDF, throw it away, forward it to a
supplier, etc.

 I have managed to get it installed, I just removed the c option from the
 cpio command as suggested in the uv.load script.
 I also had to make another change, because Ubuntu did not have the /ect/rc.d
 directory, I had to run the following:-
 
 #mkdir /etc/rc.d
 # ln -s /etc/rc0.d /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
 # ln -s /etc/rc2.d /etc/rc.d/rc2.d

 # ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/rc.d/init.d

Yes!  Sorry, I should have mentioned this.  Another thing I have to do
is create /usr/spool/uv, which I do as /var/spool/uv with a link, then
make it chmodded to 777.

 Contact your IBM support representative.

Debian, and by extension Ubuntu, uses a different cpio syntax.  I will
have to see if I wrote down the change you have to make, but it involves
editing the install script and changing the cpio lines.

If you can, post what it shows on the cpio line and I'll try to remember
the change.

 Yes, that is kind of an overkill, running the 'rm' every minute instead
 of once per day; but this way it's all in one place and that much easier
 to see what's going on when I re-visit this in the memory-impaired
 future.

Your phantom files are going to all be the same size, unless there's a
problem, right?  I'd keep the ones that are not that size.

So, if that size is, say, 50 bytes, do:

find . -mtime +2 -name DUPCHECK* ! -size 50c -print | xargs rm

 How do I recompile the terminfo database? Or if I remember correctly
 I had to edit the terminfo for vt100 to remove the characters.
 
 UV 10 / unix

uvtidc  vt100.temp

Then, edit that temp file, then as root

Re: [U2] OT: Email Attachment Universe Linux

 Hey guys,
 
 We have a program that distributes information via various methods.  One
 of which is to email the file as a PDF.  So, one of our users was on AOL
 and then switched to Cox.  They read their email via the cox webmail
 site on a browser.  The problem is that the attachment is coming over as
 part of the message now and not as an attachment.  However, if they use
 outlook as the email client, then the file is presented as an
 attachment.  So, webmail client is doing something different than
 outlook.  If I send an attachment to the person using outlook on my PC,
 then the attachment comes thru as an attachment on the webmail client.
 
 So, I think the problem is the way I am sending the email / attachment.
 I am using the following;
 
 uuencode MYFILE.PDF MYFILE.PDF | mail -s MYFILE.PDF -n
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 
 This is being done on a Linux machine and we are shelling out of
 Universe to issue the command.  Any suggestions on how to make it better
 ?

Instead of uuencode you might look at mpack.  It may not be included
in your Linux distribution, but it's easy to find.

Couldn't you do a convert(@FM:@VM:@SM:@AM:' ','') on them and see if they're

Going from memory here, but I think if you send the duplex code at the top of 
the page you then just print the first page, then do some sort of PAGE ON 
UNIT, then 
print the second page.  The printer should stick it on the back itself.

At least, that worked for me on an HP 2300.

 Within UniVerse Basic is an AUTHORIZE Statement which allows you to give the
 program different access rights to the user running the program. Ie
   AUTHORIZE Administrator

In case anybody else is looking into this, here's a small correction.  The 
statement seems to be AUTORIZATION.  I don't see any alternate synonyms.
