Hi there,

 What files do you have under (from memory) /usr/linux-libc1/X11?
 Some missing symlinks will stop Netscape from starting properly,
 with a bus error or segfault.

Now thats actually makes some sense. When I orignially installed Linux I
had something goes wrong and some important links were not made. I
sometimes still get these messages popping up and I manage to create the
symlinks to the nessecary files. However everything runs right in the
mean time. I was hoping by upgrading the system I would get rid of most
of these problems but I have picked them up. Now that I have learn't
more about Linux I am able to patch them as they come up. ;)

Not a problem I will do a ldd and see what links are missing. If that
doesn't help then I will get back to you.

Sometimes I just need to be pointed in the right direction. ;)

 ide works (I assume) well as I can telnet to it

 On marvin I installed the base system plus

 rpc works well.

Do you have tcpd wrapper installed on ide?  If so, you may be
restricting access to the telnet and ftp daemons on ide.  Check your
/etc/inetd.conf file to make sure that telnet and ftp are enabled.  If
they are and wrapped with tcpd, check your /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny file to see what restrictions are in effect.

YOU CAN MAKE $50,000 IN 90 DAYS IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME!

DO NOT BE QUICK TO DISMISS THIS! IT WILL MAKE YOU LOTS OF $$$

READ THE ENCLOSED PROGRAM... THEN READ IT AGAIN!


Dear Friend,

You are now reading the most profitable and unique program you may ever
see. It has demonstrated and proven ability to generate large sums of
money. This program is showing fantastic appeal with a huge and ever
growing population, which needs additional income. IT WILL WORK FOR 
YOU,
(don't let this slip through your fingers like I almost did) if you
CAREFULLY FOLLOW the instructions and apply these next four points:

(1) INSIGHT: It is necessary to see the GREAT possibilities that this
marketing program contains. READ IT SEVERAL TIMES, then later read it
again! Calculate the numbers for yourself; you will see the amazing
results that can be obtained.

(2) INVESTMENT: Not in me, or anyone else, but in yourself. Every
endeavor which produces a profit requires some degree of investment, be
it time, money, resources, etc. For the potential gain that can come to
you, this investment is quite insignificant.

(3) APPLICATION: There is no such thing as a FREE LUNCH. Even this
opportunity requires some effort and time. Every successful venture
does.

(4) PATIENCE: After you have accomplished the steps described, the
program requires a little time before showing a good response. As it
enters the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and finally the 4th level of response, there
is a time element that to some could be a bit aggravating without 
giving
proper thought to *how* the program works, AND IT DOES WORK! You must
allow 20 to 90 days... so be patient! ALL THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO
WAIT!

This is a LEGITIMATE, LEGAL, moneymaking opportunity. It does not
require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best
of all, you never have to leave the house, except to get the mail. If
you believe that someday you will get that lucky break that you have
been waiting for, THIS IS IT! Simply follow the easy instructions, and
your dream will come true! This multi-level mail order marketing 
program
works perfectly... 100% EVERY TIME.

Thousands of people have used this program to raise capital to start
their own business, pay off debts, buy homes, cars, etc., even retire!
This is your chance, so don't pass it up... I cannot stress this 
enough!
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, and in 20 to 90 days you will receive
of sums of money totaling $50,000 or more! Let's face it, the profits
are worth it! THEY'RE TREMENDOUS!!! So go for it. Remember the 4 points
and we'll see you at the top!



FOLLOW THESE I N S T R U C T I O N S STEPS FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS


In the MULTI-LEVEL MAIL ORDER MARKETING BUSINESS, we have a method of
raising capital that works 100% every time! I am sure that you could 
use
$50,000 to $125,000 in the next 20 to 90 days. Before you say NO WAY,
PLEASE STUDY THIS PROGRAM CAREFULLY.

THIS is a legal, moneymaking opportunity. Basically, this is what we 
do:
We build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our
products. We do this through regular mail or through the information
superhighway - the Internet. You are not involved in personal selling.
You do it privately in your own home, store or office! Each $5.00 order
you will receive will have a self-addressed stamped envelope in it! To
fill each order, you simply put the product (a financial report) in the
envelope and mail it back. That's it... the $5.00 is yours. This is
the GREATEST multi-level marketing anywhere!

(1) ORDER ALL 4 REPORTS LISTED AND NUMBERED BELOW IN THIS LETTER. Do
this by ordering the report from each of the four names listed. For 
each
report send US$5.00 cash and a SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE 
(business
size #10) to the person listed and REQUEST THAT SPECIFIC REPORT. You
will need all 4 reports because you will be reprinting and reselling
them. PLEASE do not alter the names or their sequence other than
instructed in this letter. IMPORTANT: Always provide same day service 
on
all orders you receive!

(2) In this letter, replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with
your own, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. Move the 
name
and address under REPORT #2 to REPORT #3. Move the name and address
listed under REPORT #3 to REPORT #4. The name and address that was 
under
REPORT #4 is dropped off the list and is no doubt on the way to the
bank. When doing this please make certain you copy everyone's name and
address accurately. *Don't move the Report/Product positions.

(3) Re-distribute this whole information packet (with, of course

 OK Paul, but a *normal* standard serial port card has two 16550xx UARTs a

 You talk about a JDR Microdevices card with 4 ports. is it supported by

I am unable to get either FvwmButtons or TkGoodStuff

any other configurations I haven't tried.  It 
doesn't appear to be related to the new multi-file
fvwm2rc configuration setup (although it is definitely
confusing to setup and I could be easily missing 
something in all those various interrelated files).
I've tried using a single old-style configuration 
file with no results either, using both new and old
configuration methods.

Has anyone else run into this problem with the current
version of Fvwm2 in hamm?  Anyone been able to get
Pager swallowed?  Ive been able to get other modules
swallowed, its just Pager that won't go down.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 there are several possible causes for this:
 
 1. check the log files in /var/log (especially daemon.log) - the
 problem may be obvious from the logs.
 
 2. is inetd running?  if not, why not?  fix it.
 
 3. check to see if you have an entry for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts,
 or that your name server is resolving lookups for localhost,
 localhost.your.domain, and 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.
 
 if lookups on these names fail, then tcp wrappers PARANOIA setting is
 probably refusing connections to this unknown host 127.0.0.1
 
 if this is the case, you can fix it by either:
 
 1. fixing your nameserver to do localhost lookups properly
 2. adding 127.0.0.1localhost to your /etc/hosts file
 3. adding ALL: 127.0.0.1 to your /etc/hosts.allow file.
 
 if that doesn't help, check your routing table. you should have a host
 route for host 127.0.0.0 or a network route for network 127.0.0 via the
 lo interface.
 
 like this:
 
 $ route -n | grep ^127
 127.0.0.0   0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0   U 0  0  143 lo
 
  Further more I can not even ftp or http to my box from the net, even
  thou my apache and wuftpd is up and running.., it says something like
  connection closed by my server.
 
  but I can do every outbound connection like ftp, telnet to the others
  from my box, right now running kernel 2.0.32...
 
 this could be caused by inetd or tcp wrappers problems as mentioned above.
 
 alternatively, it could be because your machine is on a private network
 (eg 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, 192.168.x.x) and is therefore unreachable from
 the internet.  if you use some sort of Network Address Translation (NAT) or

If I log into a console and use dselect as root it installs fine. Defo

To compile a file into an object file, (.o file) you should use the -c
option:

g77 -c aa.f

Then to get an executable, take all your object files and link them:

g77 -o myprogram aa.o bb.o 

This will give you the executable `myprogram'.  I would advise you to
install the info debian package and to read the sections on g77 (type
info g77).

Debian users and newsgroups

1998-01-22 Thread John Spence
Hi All.

I just replied to a message in comp.os.linux.setup that asked where all
the Debian users were.

Are we so few or are we so selective?  The only reason I read the message
at all is because I filter out every newsgroup message that doesn't have
the string ebian in the subject line.

I'm going to stop doing this but my lack of expert knowledge re: Linux
prevents me from taking part too much in discussion that might lead a
reader to consider Debian as an alternative.

So if you are an expert with about 100hours per week to spare, please get
in there :-)

Try calling inetd manually ...  /usr/sbin/inetd  This i have now seen

I'm using netbase version 3.03-1 and have been haveing this problem since
upgrading. anyone have any ideas??



First thing I'd be checking are the entries in /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny to make sure that your machine will allow remote connections
to these services.
Second thing I'd look at are the relevant lines in /etc/inetd.conf making
sure that in.telnetd, wu-ftp and apache have entries there.

Hope this helps

Hi, 

a friend of mine is using debian-1.3.1. He has  succeded in

+ he can't succeed in running xdm;
+ a few colors can be displayed;
+ there is no way to change the resolution using 
  Ctrl-Alt-NumPad{+,-}

What to do ?

 My power save light comes on and my monitor shuts off until I switch

This sound like you are mistreating your monitor. Newer monitors power
down when they are driven beyond specifications.

Check out what's in /etc/X11/XF86Config's settings for HSync and VSync. It
should not be more than your monitor can handle.

Also, you could back up the old config file and rerun XF86Config, which is
generally not a bad idea if the newer xfree86 is several versions newer
than the xfree86 you initially configured your system with. AFAIK The
newer versions try to optimize the refresh rate rather than screen
resolution.

No, it does not support fat32 in default kernel.  You will need to apply fat32

 If that works, maybe the debian installer package could do something

I attempted to run the patch on setup and it didn't work.  I wasn't

my only suspicion is that perhaps the real user id isn't getting set.
(I don't have access to a machine that sudo misbehaves on at the

one of these commands displays something other than '0', then you
should file a bug against the hamm sudo.  (On my bo machine, both
commands report 0)

If both these commands display 0, you might still want to file a bug
against the hamm sudo anyway, though it won't be as descriptive.

There of course used to be an Apache 1.2.4 package for hamm,
which could easily be backported to bo. Unfortunately it is long since
gone from mirrors; my nearest archie server doesn't know of any
sites that have it.

Perhaps someone could work on it, or perhaps Johnie (the maintainer)
has his old source. I don't have time unfortunately. I would prefer
to be running 1.2.4 on my production server because I have had a few
problems with the 1.3b3 packages.

1.1.3 is pretty stale though. Quite a few improvements to mod_include
were done for 1.2, for example.

ethernet question

1998-01-22 Thread G. Kapetanios

Hi all,

For about 12 hours I get through syslog every couple of minutes messages
messages such as Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers status
... . Now I have gotten this message before but only a couple of time and
then it stopped. I asked the list about it and was told that it is
beacause of high network load and nothing to do with hardware. However I
now get it not only in tty8 where syslog messages appear but in my working
console . As a matter of fact while I write this message through telenet
to my mail sever I get the messages on my screen, I can't delete them and
can't really see what I am writing as the messages get jumbled up with the
text . Is this normal ? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It does not happen in xterms (that is something at least ) 

Thanks

Same result both ways.

The script file permissions are set to -rwxr-xr-x.

Well, tanks to all that helped me last week with the lilo problem, but
I'm stil in trouble with it.

I got Lilo to boot, I mean when the computer starts lilo appears asking
for what OS to launch. If I select Linux it goes ok, but if I select
Win95 ( default ) it will launch lilo again!(??)

My lilo.conf is:

boot=/dev/hda1
install=/kernel/boot/boot.b
map=/kernel/boot/map
delay=50
timeout=70
compact
prompt
default=Win95
image=/kernel/boot/vmlinuz

vga=normal
other=Win95
label=Win95
loader=/kernel/boot/chain.b

And my partitions:
/dev/hda1 -- Win95
/dev/hda2 -- Linux partition mounted in /kernel ( about 10 MBytes big
at the end of hda )
/dev/hdb -- Linux mounted in /

I really appreciate any help.

Re: Error Fortran Message

1998-01-22 Thread Raymond Rusk
Dear Sir:
   I installed debian software for linux in my machine and it's ok. when
I try to install gcc_2.7.2.1-8 with g77=0.5.20-1.deb also it's ok. For compile
Fortran program contain only main program, g77 or f77 command can compile and
I get the execute file for this program. But when I try to compile subroutine
ex. aa.f to get the execute file aa.o by the command f77 aa.f or g77 aa.f I
get error message which is {/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/libf2c(main.o):
in function main: main.o(.text+ox154): undefined reference to MAIN_}. At
the same time I can't execute any program contain subroutine. could you
please tell me how can I solve this problem.

Try using g77 -c aa.f to generate the object file aa.o.  I haven't
used g77 but I suspect that g77 -o prog mainprog.c aa.o will then
allow you to create an executable program.  Here mainprog.c
represents a FORTRAN program that calls the subroutine in aa.f and
prog is the name of the executable program.


Sincerely
A.I. Abou Anber

Re: Lilo: How to install it? ( Part II )

1998-01-22 Thread Chris Smith

I think the problem is different here.  You see, what is happening in the
lilo.conf shown (at least to the best of my understanding, and I am no
expert) is that LILO is installed on /dev/hda1 -- that is, the first
partition.  The stanza you show would just boot from the first partition,
effectively causing the same thing... booting LILO again.

I'm not sure exactly what the best solution is, but the problem could be
solved by either...

-  Changing the first line to boot=/dev/hda, thus installing an MBR, and
then restoring the Windows boot sector on /dev/hda1 (which may be stored
somewhere in /boot -- or in this case /kernel/boot -- or may need to be
restored by booting from a Windows 95 boot disk and typing SYS C:), and
then rerunning LILO with the stanza that Steve suggested.

-  Again restoring the Windows boot sector as described, installing LILO
on /dev/hda2, and setting it active, and using that stanza.

-  Using some options I don't know about because I'm not an expert here.
This looks like what you were trying to do with chain.b.  I have no idea
what chain.b does, and so I can't help you there.

sending a message to the active console

1998-01-22 Thread Paul Miller
How can I send a message to the active console?  For example, when a cdrom
is mounted, mount (or the kernel) reports 'changing media type...', etc.
to the active console - if you switch consoles, the text will finish on
the new active console.

Also, will this type of message appear in xconsole?  If not, how can I
make it appear in both?

The reason I'm asking is because I want to make a simple script to run in
the background and send caller-id messages to the console.


Thanks

Yes, but it only goes to log files/terminals because klogd is running.

 It appears in xconsole, iff the X session is on the currently active

Here's the scoop. Note:

chilin$ ls -l /dev/xconsole
prw-r--r--   1 root root 4083 Jan 22 07:28 /dev/xconsole

/dev/xconsole is a unix pipe. What is written into it can be read. The
xconsole program simply opens this file for reading and prints whatever
comes through it. You can configure syslog to write stuff to it. Anyone
however may write to it who has appropriate permissions (in my case, only
root). Try this (as root):

echo hello, world  /dev/xconsole

It's as easy as that.

 PM The reason I'm asking is because I want to make a simple script to
 PM run in the background and send caller-id messages to the console.

 Look at the write(1) and wall(1) utilities; these will let you do this

No need for kernel-level hacking, no need for write or wall. Wanna write to
a VT?

echo hello, world  /dev/tty0

All write does is track down what tty a user is logged in on and writes to
that terminal. If that's the functionality you want you can use that
program, otherwise just write to the terminal device yourself.

tar permission problems

I've set up one machine in a lab of identical machines with Debian.  I   
then create a tar
file from that set up and transfer the tar file to CD.  I then untar on   
the other machines.
The procedure works nice (I can set up a machine in about 15 minutes)   
 but I'm having
trouble with a lot of the file permissions on the cloned machines.  /tmp   
and /dev/null are
created without write permission for groups and other.  I can restore   
these permissions
but I have no idea what other premissions aren't restored.

I untar with the -p option which is supposed to preserve permissions, but   
it doesn't seem
to.  I thought my umask might be a problem, but it doesn't seem to be.

New Smail, how to use offline?

1998-01-22 Thread Neilen Marais
Hi

The newest smail seems to have a number of features well suited to
fighting spam, but most of these things cause problems when trying to
run your typical offline/fetchmail with pop config, so I have reverted
to using the smail from my trusty bo CD till I can find out how to
configure the newest to my needs..

Basically, it seems to do a reverse lookup on the system connecting to
it, but I think I sorted that out by putting allow_broken_hello, or
something similar for localhost.

Other thing is that it seems to do a DNS lookup on every from address,
and since my from contains [EMAIL PROTECTED], this can't be done when
I'm offline.  So if I can get this fixed I think I can use the newest
smail again...  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Yes it is although not free in the GPL sense.  dotshop.com has a

think the url is www.emumail.com (or .net).  The only problem I ran into

 to my mail sever I get the messages on my screen, I can't delete them and
 can't really see what I am writing as the messages get jumbled up with the
 text . Is this normal ? 

Yes. You can tell syslog to display messages on the console. This is normaly
done for messages of a certain priority. In my /etc/syslog.conf, there is:

# Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in.
#
*.emerg * 

Maybe there is something similar in yours.

Most programms have a key to restore the screen in such case (e.g a
talkrequest is a similar case).

In pine/pico this is CTRL-L.

Ciao,
Martin

Printing Guru question.

1998-01-22 Thread fealvar
Hi folks.

I'm running linux but our printer a HP LaserJet 4p connected directly to
the net trough a JetDirect ExPlus3 is atached to a Novell Print Queue.
Reading the Printing-HOWTO i saw that it is easy to print to that kind of
printers because they seem to be running an lpd. 
Here is my question:

Can i send print jobs directly to the printer without conflict with the
NOVELL print Queue???

Thanks in advance.

hamm PATH - MANPATH

In bo this mapping in /etc/manpath.config used to work. An user just needed to
have the binary location is his PATH to be able to read the respective
manpages. Am I missing something?

[pequod:~]  manpath

Debian Package Finder (US Mirror)

1998-01-22 Thread Adam Shand

Just a notice to say that there is now a US mirror of the LJ Debian
Package finder.  That brings the total up to four mirrors (US, New Zealand
(primary), Sweden and Czech).

Personally I couldn't live without it (which is of course why it was
written :-), and I think it makes life mucho easier.

It is updated nightly from ftp.debian.org and can be found at:

http://badger.alaska.net/debian/

Good luck and may the force be with you.

Adam.

X and the ATI All-In-Wonder 4MB card

1998-01-22 Thread Robert LaGrasse
Hello Group,

I'm new to Linux and X, so bear with me. I'm probably not going to
provide all of the information necessary here. Please ask if I need to
provide more information.

I'm trying to install X from the Debian 1.3.1 CD. My system:
IBM PR200+ running at 150Mhz
64MB Ram
1.5GB drive
ATI All-in-Wonder Video card

The ATI card is a member of the Mach64 family, and has the Rage II + DVD
chipset on board. I've attempted to install the xserver-Mach64 server on
my machine. dselect puts me into the xf86config program, and I plug in
the parameters which correspond to my system. When I attempt to test X,
the screen goes blank for a while as it attempts to go into different
video modes. Eventually, I'm kicked back to the shell, where I'm told
that each time it tried to switch to a different video mode, it
discovered there was not enough (I'm guessing video) memory.

My first thought was I was configuring something incorrectly (which I
probably am), so I ran SuperProbe to see what Linux though about my
Video card. SuperProbe recognizes the card as an ATI, but doesn't know
what the chipset is for some reason. It also has a problem seeing the
4MB of video ram on the card, it reports 0.

Has anyone else out there attempted to use X with this card? Any luck?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Rob

Re: New Smail, how to use offline?

1998-01-22 Thread Martin Bialasinski
Neilen Marais [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Basically, it seems to do a reverse lookup on the system connecting to
 it, but I think I sorted that out by putting allow_broken_hello, or
 something similar for localhost.

This should only be neccessary if the mailreader does a broken HELO. Pine is
one of these and if you had to do this as well, then XFMail is another one.

 Other thing is that it seems to do a DNS lookup on every from address,
 and since my from contains [EMAIL PROTECTED], this can't be done when
 I'm offline.  So if I can get this fixed I think I can use the newest
 smail again...  Any suggestions?

I don't have any problems with it.

Did you complete smailconfig during upgrade?

In /etc/smail/config there should also be the lines:

-smtp_hello_verify 
-smtp_hello_verify_literal

With these you disable the hostname verification.

I just had one problem with the upgrade:

I told dpkg to leave my /etc/aliases alone (and it did). Then post.inst
called smailconfig and I went through it. But smailconfig wiped my aliases
file (!). I con confirm this for 3 installations of the package on 2
different machines, so be carefull. I already filed a bug report about this.

After this experience I added a cronjob to backup my aliases like this is
already done for /etc/passwd and /etc/group (added this as a wish to the
bugreport as well).

Netscape 5.0 to be released under GPL-like license!!!

1998-01-22 Thread Craig Sanders

this is on netscape's own web site so i'm pretty sure it's not a hoax.


see http://www.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease558.html?cp=nws01flh1



NETSCAPE ANNOUNCES PLANS TO MAKE NEXT-GENERATION
  COMMUNICATOR SOURCE CODE AVAILABLE FREE ON THE NET 

BOLD MOVE TO HARNESS CREATIVE POWER OF THOUSANDS OF INTERNET
  DEVELOPERS; COMPANY MAKES NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR AND COMMUNICATOR
  4.0 IMMEDIATELY FREE FOR ALL USERS, SEEDING MARKET FOR ENTERPRISE
AND NETCENTER BUSINESSES 



MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (January 22, 1998) -- Netscape Communications
Corporation (NASDAQ: NSCP) today announced bold plans to make the source
code for the next generation of its highly popular Netscape Communicator
client software available for free licensing on the Internet. The
company plans to post the source code beginning with the first Netscape
Communicator 5.0 developer release, expected by the end of the first
quarter of 1998. This aggressive move will enable Netscape to harness
the creative power of thousands of programmers on the Internet by
incorporating their best enhancements into future versions of Netscape's
software. This strategy is designed to accelerate development and free
distribution by Netscape of future high-quality versions of Netscape
Communicator to business customers and individuals, further seeding the
market for Netscape's enterprise solutions and Netcenter business.

In addition, the company is making its currently available Netscape
Navigator and Communicator Standard Edition 4.0 software products
immediately free for all users. With this action, Netscape makes it
easier than ever for individuals at home, at school or at work to choose
the world's most popular Internet client software as their preferred
interface to the Internet.

The time is right for us to take the bold action of making our client
free - and we are going even further by committing to post the source
code for free for Communicator 5.0, said Jim Barksdale, Netscape's
president and chief executive officer. By giving away the source
code for future versions, we can ignite the creative energies of the
entire Net community and fuel unprecedented levels of innovation in the
browser market.  Our customers can benefit from world-class technology
advancements; the development community gains access to a whole new
market opportunity; and Netscape's core businesses benefit from the
proliferation of the market-leading client software.

Netscape plans to make Netscape Communicator 5.0 source code available
for modification and redistribution beginning later this quarter with
the first developer release of the product. The company will handle
free source distribution with a license which allows source code
modification and redistribution and provides for free availability
of source code versions, building on the heritage of the GNU Public
License (GPL), familiar to developers on the Net. Netscape intends
to create a special Web site service where all interested parties
can download the source code, post their enhancements, take part in
newsgroup discussions, and obtain and share Communicator-related
information with others in the Internet community. Netscape will also
continue to develop new technologies and offer periodic certified,
high-quality, supported releases of its Netscape Communicator and
Navigator products, incorporating some of the best features created by
this dynamic community.

The ubiquity of Netscape's client software facilitates Netscape's
strategy of linking millions of individuals to businesses. Today's
announcements will help to further proliferate Netscape's award-winning
client software which today has an installed base of more than 68
million, providing a ready market for businesses using Netscape's
Networked Enterprise software solutions and Netscape Netcenter services.
Netscape's research indicates that in the education market where
Netscape's products are free, the Netscape client software commands
approximately 90 percent share, indicating that users tend to choose
Netscape when the choice is freely available. Making its browser
software free also will enable Netscape to continue to drive Internet
standards, maximize the number of users on the Internet, and expand the
third-party community of companies and products that take advantage of
the Netscape software platform.

Netscape has successfully shifted its business over the past year toward
enterprise software sales and to revenues from its Web site business,
and away from standalone client revenues. In the third quarter of 1997,
standalone client revenues represented approximately 18 percent of
Netscape's revenue, with the rest coming from enterprise software,
services and the Web site. Preliminary results for the fourth quarter
of 1997, which Netscape announced January 5, show standalone client
revenues decreased to approximately 13 percent in the fourth quarter. In
the fourth quarter of 1996 by comparison, standalone client

cyg-win32 problems

1998-01-22 Thread Sebastian Kuzminsky
   Hi, i'm playing around with the Cygnus win32 gcc cross compiler in
hamm.  I can compile and link programs just fine, and file identifies
my binaries correctly:

 make dump;file dump
i386-unknown-cygwin32-gcc -Wall   -c dump.c -o dump.o
i386-unknown-cygwin32-gcc -Wall   -c q4401.c -o q4401.o
i386-unknown-cygwin32-gcc -static dump.o q4401.o -o dump
dump: MS-DOS executable (EXE), OS/2 or Windows


   However, when i transfer the program to my DOS box (and rename it to
dump.exe), it wont run.  It says:

dump: cannot execute: One of the library files needed to run this application 
cannot be found




   I linked the DOS binary static...  What's the problem?  Any ideas?
Is there a 'Quickstart' document for any of the win32* packages?


   By the way, if i use gcc instead of i386-unknown-cygwin32-gcc, then
i end up with a perfectly usable Linux executable.  No extra libraries
are needed there.  I dont do anything fancy, just basically open a file,
read it, and print it to the screen.




TIA
Sebastian

Re: Netscape releasing source code for 5.0

1998-01-22 Thread Sudhakar Chandrasekharan
I am curious to find out what folks in the Debian community think of
this.

1. What are the changes that you would make to the source code to make
the browser better?

2. What features would you add to the browser?

3. Would a UN*X developer add a feature that is unix specific.  Or would
he / she add a cross platform feature?
