Varias preguntas...

1999-04-13 Thread Dragonbreath
Hola todos!

Cuando al fin logro configurar mis X, una avalancha de preguntas se me
vienen a la cabeza. Escribire algunas a ver si me pueden orientar:

1. Intente instalar un KDE que copie desde un CD y un archivo estaba corrupto.
Mi dpkg/apt-get a quedado siempre lanzandome el error del KDEBASE que esta mal
instalado y no logro desinstalarlo (dpkg -r KDEBase me da un error).
Como puedo corregir esto?

2. Justo despues de instalar el sistema base, y antes de dispararse el
dselect, sale una lista con perfiles donde uno puede elegir el perfil
que quiere para la instalación, ademas de los paquetes que se instalarán
en cada perfil. Hay alguna forma de volver a ver esta opción? (Quisiera
usarla para orientarme en que paquetes ir instalando, ya que voy
instalando poco a poco el sistema desde internet).

3. Las X corren, muy bien, y quisiera correr ahora el XF86Setup desde
dentro de ellas para cambiar la resolución/cantidad de colores. Pro,
me da el error de que no todas las extensiones del teclado están
instaladas, y se aborta el programa. Esto me pasa con las X 3.3.3.1.
Algun paquete que me falta por instalar?

4. Creo que llego la hora de recompilar mi kernel. Me gustaria hacerlo
de ser posible desde un entorno X. Que necesito? Algunas utilidades??
Librerias? Recuerden que solo tengo la base y las X instaladas, y ademas
soy novato en Linux.

Gracias de antemano y disculpen que pregunte tanto!! :-)

Pues eso deberá ser un problema de INN.

Podría ser porque cree que  los mensajes no deben distribuirse

¿Que tal?

  El script de Suck para recibir  las news también se encarga de
  enviarlas,  y si  falla acaba  su ejecución  sin entregar  los
  mensajes recibidos a INN, y te darías cuenta.
 
 No  te entiendo,  si INN  es un  servidor y  suck es  el que
 tragina con usuario/servidor,  ¿por qué me voy  a enterar si
 suck ve al servidor para enviar posts a mi máquina y no a la
 de mi ISP?

Para que Suck sepa que mensajes  debe postear a el servidor de
tu  ISP  (o el  que  sea),  necesita  las líneas  del  archivo
`/var/spool/news/out.going/news.tuservidor.es', con líneas del
tipo

esp/comp/so/linux/2325 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
es/comp/os/linux/25398 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

como te había mencionado.

Entonces,   al  conectar   a   internetes,   si  ejecutas   el
script  `get-news.inn',  éste  lo  que hace  es  conectar  con
`news.tuservidor.es', mediante `suck',  y recoger los mensajes
nuevos. Cuando termina sale del servidor y crea un fichero con
la información necesaria para que, __más tarde__, al final del
script, se lance  `innxmit' y alimente a INN  con los nuevos
mensajes. Pero  primero,  se  lanza  en  medio  de  estos  dos
procesos a  `rpost', que conecta  de nuevo con el  servidor y,
utilizando la  info de  `../out.going/news.tuservidor.es', lee
los mensajes y  alimenta al servidor de tu  ISP. Pero, si se
produce un error con `rpost', termina el script `get-news.inn'
y no se ejecuta la parte del `innxmit'.

Y por eso,  aunque tienes los nuevos mensajes en  tu HD, no se
han  entregado  a INN. No los verías con el lector.

Prueba lo del newsfeeds y nos lo cuentas.

Re: Procesador ALFA para Linux

En Barcelona no lo se pero en Granada está Catón Sistemas Alternativos y
tienen arquitectura Digital. Los distribuyen por todo España
preinstalados con SuSE o una distribución suya basada en RedHat. No se
si preinstalan Debian pero sería bueno que se lo pidieras, así seguro
que lo hacen ;-) Me dieron precios y me parecieron muy baratos en
comparación a prestaciones equivalentes en Intel. No recuerdo las
características pero en Intel andaba por las 45 ptas. (2710 euros) y
en Digital 350.000 ptas (2108 euros). De todos modos siempre es mejor

Gnome

1999-04-13 Thread frodo
Hola,

Estoy pensando instalar gnome ahora que ha llegado a la primera versión
estable.

El problema es que la versión 1.0 aún no existe en paquete debian. Por
ello, estoy barajando tres opciones:

1.- Compilar e instalar los tgz. ¿Alguien lo ha hecho? El problema es
que son un montón de ficheros y perdería bastante el sistema de
paquetes de debian, sobre todo si tengo que actualizar librerías que ya
tengo instaladas como paquetes deb.

2.- Instalar la versión 0.99 que está en potato. ¿Sabe alguien en que
nivel de estabilidad está? Yo tengo debian 2.0, aunque he actualizado
bastantes paquetes de slink.

3.- Convertir los pquetes rpm de redhat o suse. Esto me convence poco.
De suse no he usado, pero todas las conversiones que he hecho desde
rpms de red hat me han dado como resultado paquetes deb poco estables.

¿Alguna opinión?
¿Alguien sabe cuando puede aparecer el gnome 1.0 en paquete deb?

Gracias y saludos

Para más info lee http://vote.debian.org, debe estar la propuesta de

 El problema es que la versión 1.0 aún no existe en paquete debian. Por
 ello, estoy barajando tres opciones:

Los paquetes Debian de la 1.0 (en realidad la ultima vez que mire estaban hasta
la 1.01) estan en

http://www.debian.org/~jules/gnome-stage-2/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/

Si usas el apt puedes indicarle esa direccion para bajartelos. Esta version
esta en fase de desarrollo, se supone que cuando este mas probada la mandaran
directamente a Potato.

El problema es que como dices tienes las Debian 2.0 y para poder usar en
condiciones esta version necesitas al menos la Debian 2.1 con bastantes
librerias de la 2.2 (es decir Potato, que no se si sera 2.2 o algo mas). En
particular hay muchas cosas que ya estan compiladas con la glibc 2.1 y eso
hace que sea mas que complicado intentar usarlo.

Otra opcion que puedes hacer es intentar compilar los tgz y debianizarlos con
el deb-make, pero eso es algo bastante complicado tratandose de librerias y
demas. Otra opcion es coger los *rpm e intentar convertirlos con el alien a
paquetes deb, pero la ultima vez que probe creo que tambien dependen de la
libc6 2.1.

En cualquier caso creo que la distribucion de citius Debian incluye el GNOME
1.0 y el KDE 1.1, lo que no se es si estan o no en *deb. Enrique Zanardi a lo
mejor lo sabe.

   El script de Suck para recibir  las news también se encarga de
   enviarlas,  y si  falla acaba  su ejecución  sin entregar  los
   mensajes recibidos a INN, y te darías cuenta.

Pues ya ves que no, tengo dos formas de bajarmes los mensajes de 
es.comp.os.linux:
* Desde Netscape Communicator a pelo y no veo mi post (el que aparece en
/var/spool/news/out.going/news.mad.ttd.net).
* Con suck y lo veo o bien desde slrn o desde Netscape y si veo ese post.

Está claro que sigue quedándose el mensaje en mi máquina y no sale a Internet.

 Para que Suck sepa que mensajes  debe postear a el servidor de
 tu  ISP  (o el  que  sea),  necesita  las líneas  del  archivo
 `/var/spool/news/out.going/news.tuservidor.es', con líneas del
 tipo
 
 esp/comp/so/linux/2325 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 es/comp/os/linux/25398 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 como te había mencionado.

*Lapregunta*:
En mi caso el servidor de noticias local es akela.linux.es y el remoto
news.ctv.es, ¿qué debería aparecer en newsfeed?, es decir, ¿debería cambiar
news.mad.ttd.net (que no se ni lo que es) y news.bcn.ttd.net (que tampoco)
por news.ctv.es?. Por otra parte, que aparezca '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' en 
/var/spool/news/out.going/news.mad.ttd.net no me da buena espina, ¿no
debería de poner [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mi dirección real de correo)?. 

Otra cosa en mi post aparece:
NNTP-Posting-Host: akela.linux.es

y en los que envío desde Netscape (sin pasar por INN), aparece:
NNTP-Posting-Host: ctv21225145008.ctv.es

Con lo cual aquí hay algo que no tira como debe :-(

 Entonces,   al  conectar   a   internetes,   si  ejecutas   el
 script  `get-news.inn',  éste  lo  que hace  es  conectar  con

  la 1.01) estan en
  
  http://www.debian.org/~jules/gnome-stage-2/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/
  
  Si usas el apt puedes indicarle esa direccion para bajartelos. Esta version
  esta en fase de desarrollo, se supone que cuando este mas probada la mandaran
  directamente a Potato.
  
  El problema es que como dices tienes las Debian 2.0 y para poder usar en
  condiciones esta version necesitas al menos la Debian 2.1 con bastantes
  librerias de la 2.2 (es decir Potato, que no se si sera 2.2 o algo mas). En
  particular hay muchas cosas que ya estan compiladas con la glibc 2.1 y eso
  hace que sea mas que complicado intentar usarlo.
  
  Otra opcion que puedes hacer es intentar compilar los tgz y debianizarlos 
  con
  el deb-make, pero eso es algo bastante complicado tratandose de librerias y
  demas. Otra opcion es coger los *rpm e intentar convertirlos con el alien a
  paquetes deb, pero la ultima vez que probe creo que tambien dependen de la
  libc6 2.1.
  
  En cualquier caso creo que la distribucion de citius Debian incluye el GNOME
  1.0 y el KDE 1.1, lo que no se es si estan o no en *deb. Enrique Zanardi a lo
  mejor lo sabe.

Esa g de más indica que esa versión de la biblioteca libjpeg es para

Sí que se puede poner como arranque dual, y no da ningún problema (en mi
departamento en la universidad hay varios usuarios que se resisten a
abandonar el Scientific Word for Windows). 

  Es mejor utilizar un paquete tipo Partition Magic para hacerlo?

El MBR que se instala por defecto con la Debian es muy fácil de usar
(por defecto arranca uno de los dos, y si quieres arrancar el otro, basta
con pulsar tres teclas durante el arranque).
También se puede configurar el LILO fácilmente para que muestre un menú
tipo Partition Magic.

 Que distribucion es mejor para realizar esto?

Debian, por supuesto. ;-) (Quedaría feo que yo dijese otra, ¿no?).

1999-04-13 Thread Raul Perez Justicia
 Hola,
 
 Estoy pensando instalar gnome ahora que ha llegado a la primera versión
 estable.
 
 El problema es que la versión 1.0 aún no existe en paquete debian. Por
 ello, estoy barajando tres opciones:
 
 1.- Compilar e instalar los tgz. ¿Alguien lo ha hecho? El problema es
 que son un montón de ficheros y perdería bastante el sistema de
 paquetes de debian, sobre todo si tengo que actualizar librerías que ya
 tengo instaladas como paquetes deb.

Puedes encontrar la 1.0 en http://www.debian.org/%7ejules

 
 2.- Instalar la versión 0.99 que está en potato. ¿Sabe alguien en que
 nivel de estabilidad está? Yo tengo debian 2.0, aunque he actualizado
 bastantes paquetes de slink.

Esta bien... pero hay muchas diferencias en la 1.0 que merecen la pena.
Yo estoy utilizando la 1.0 desde hace unas 3 semanas y no me ha dado ningun
problema.
 
 3.- Convertir los pquetes rpm de redhat o suse. Esto me convence poco.
 De suse no he usado, pero todas las conversiones que he hecho desde
 rpms de red hat me han dado como resultado paquetes deb poco estables.

Eso no lo haria.

 ¿Alguna opinión?
 ¿Alguien sabe cuando puede aparecer el gnome 1.0 en paquete deb?

En unstable no lo se 

 Gracias y saludos

Igualmente.

latex no puede con la \SS alemana

1999-04-13 Thread Conrado Badenas
¡Hola!

Tengo instalados la versión 0.9.981113-2 de los paquetes tetex-{bin,dev}
y la versión 0.9.981113-1 de los paquetes
tetex-{base,doc,extra,nonfree}. La semana pasada imprimí una
bibliografía y uno de los autores de un artículo no salió bien. En la
entrada del .bib tengo:
author=J. Straka and Kloko\v{c}ník and H. Gra\ss{}l

y he imprimido STRAKA, J., KLOKO`C'NÍK, AND GRASSL, H.. No obtengo una
beta mayúscula para gra\ss{}l sino dos S. El estilo bibliográfico que
uso es para la revista IJRS, la cual requiere que los nombres de los
autores estén en smalcaps. Estos son los resultados de unos tests que he
hecho:

   roman: \ss (beta) \SS (SS)
smalcaps: \ss (ss)   \SS (SS)

Es extraño porque en el documento LaTeX2e for authors (11 june 1997)
(usrguide.dvi.gz) en las páginas 19-20 (sección 3.14 Text commands: all
encodings) leo (pero no traduzco): \SS: This command produces a German
`SS', that is a capital `beta'. This letter can hyphenate differently
from `SS', so is needed for entering all-caps German.

Para saber qué está pasando decidí latex'ar el fichero fontsmpl.tex con
la familia cmr (Computer Modern Roman). En las 22 páginas de texto
muestra obtuve exactamente los mismos resultados que antes (\ss no
funciona para small caps ---shape sc---, y \SS nunca funciona).

Entonces leí el documento LaTeX2e font selection (17 april 1998)
(fntguide.dvi.gz) y descubrí que hay ocho familias de fuentes más, así
que latex'eé el fichero fontsmpl.tex con las otras familias. Obtuve los
mismos resultados que antes excepto para la camilia cmtt en codificación
T1. Para la familia cmtt (Computer Modern Typewriter) en codificación T1
obtuve:

   roman: \ss (beta)\SS (una SS con la anchura de un carácter)
smalcaps: \ss (una ss de un carácter de anchura) \SS (como arriba)

Mis preguntas son:

a) ¿Por qué?
b) ¿Cuál es la forma correcta de imprimir una SS mayúscula alemana? ¿Una
beta mayúscula?

Hasta que tenga respuesta a estas preguntas, he corregido la entrada
.bib así:
author=J. Straka and Kloko\v{c}ník and H. Gra{\textnormal\ss}l

Ahora se imprime bien, a no ser que en alemán no se utilice una beta
para la SS mayúscula.

Eu estou tentando instalar o SATAN na minha máquina (um Pentium
comum rodando Debian 2.1) e estou encontrando alguns problemas.

Eu peguei duas versões do SATAN: uma é a original (do site do
SATAN) e a outra é de um ftp que informa que essa versão é fixed em
relação à original, para rodar no Linux.

O problema é que eu não consegui compilar nenhuma das duas :(

Alguém por aí tem alguma dica (ou já conseguiu compilar o SATAN)?

 You know, I tried almost exactly this but bailed when one of the

 package to generate a .deb not *install* it or do *anything* that
 would require root privileges.

It doesn't really require root - install fakeroot and use -rfakeroot
when building.  It thinks it needs root to set the ownership of files to
root (among other things), but in actual fact dpkg will do the right thing 
without.  I gather it's a legacy 

What package building does is very much like installing using a tool
like stow - you build the package, and then install it into its own
directory tree.  This usually uses whatever procedures the package uses,
so a lot of times install is involved.  After this the appropriate wands
are waved to pull everything into .debs and source package.

Take a look at the developer's reference and other maintainer
documentation - most of this stuff is documented or pointed to, but the
information isn't pushed at users.

  Personally I always found dpkg easier than RPM for building packages,
  but perhaps it's just me.

 IIRC all it took to build SRPMS is one single rpm command.

I know, but I never felt like I was in control.  It also seemed very
attached to using /usr/src and leaving files around there.

Re: LyX 1.0 for slink?

1999-04-13 Thread Jaldhar H. Vyas
1.  go to the source section of your favorite Debian mirror

2.  for each package you want to recompile, download the *.orig.tar.gz,
 *.diff.gz and *.dsc
NOTE: Not all source packages have the same name as the binary package
they create. E.g. the c-client-dev package comes from imap.  Also the
source package may be in a different section than the binar.  E.g.
c-client-dev is in devel, imap is in mail.  Use the mirrors
Packages.gz file to sort out what comes from where.

3.  if you haven't already, download and install the dpkg-dev package from
devel to get the basic package building tools.

4.  run:

  dpkg-source -x whatever.dsc 

This should give you a whatever directory.  cd into it.

5.  run (as root or using fakeroot, sudo etc.):

 debian/rules binary

cd up one level and if all has gone well you will see a .deb.  One problem
with the current Debian system is that there are no source dependencies so
you may need to experiment a bit to determine what exactly you need
installed for the build process to work.  (A good packager will have
documented this in debian/README.debian.

Also--and this is important!--DO NOT give out .debs created in this manner
to other people without changing the maintainer address in
debian/changelog to your address, bumping up the version number in
debian/changelog. (The usual practice is to use decimal numbers for
example if the debian package was 1.0-1, yours would be 1.0-1.1) and
signing the package with your PGP key.  Also you might want to notify the
Debian maintainer so he knows there are pirate .debs floating about out
there.

No offense taken, but notice your keyword, I updated bind.. This machine I

No offense, but what does Slackware vs Debian have to do with it?  The
machine from which I cadged my example was originally installed with
Slackware 1.2 in 1995.  (At least I think it was 1.2.  It's been a long

In any case, the machine in question has, to my knowledge, no .debs on it

an updated bind from a tarball months ago and that tarball included the

I know it has been way over a month... but I just got around to doing this
upgrade to slink from hamm.  Then I started to read this thread!

hummm, this is a problem, and due to my lateness, I cannot get a netbase
3.12 from POTATO.  The unstable release is 3.14-1, but that requires you to
install libc6 from potato, and that requires ldso (followed by
libstdc++2.9, apt, development clibs). 

Long story short most the libs basically need to be upgraded just to use
ipmasqadm.  That is not a good thing in my opinion.  I should just run
potato if that is the case.  Now dselect reminds me of all the programs
that I have broken (not really but it bitches).  

If slink's netbase is not going to include ipmasqadm, then there needs to
be a package for ipmasqadm. To go to potato's netbase cleanly, involves
many iteration.

Ok, lets take it one thing at a time:
1. CD-rom: For CD support you need to compile your own kernel.
Install kernel source package and configure it. I think there is a HOWTO
on that (Or used to be, didnt metalabs site go down?).

2. Modem: If your linux box can't reach it right now, and it is not a
Winmodem, then you have to use isapnp to get it work.
On my page I have an explanation on how to do it...hope it's not too hard.

3. Soundcard. If it's a pnp card, you need to use isapnp again.
If it's not pnp, then chances are you can get it to work by including
support for it in kernel, for which yu have to compile kernel. So you can
actually do one big compilation where you get rid of stuff you don't need,
include CD support and sound support.

scroll bar resource?

1999-04-13 Thread John
Hi Folks,

I've got two distributions of Debian running on separate
hard drives (hamm and slink) and have noticed that the
scrollbars for the xterm box (among others) is different
even though the xterm configuration seems to be the same. My
hamm distribution has an up/down arrow at the bottom of the
scrollbar plus a sliding bar.  The slink version has only
the capability of clicking the left or right mouse buttons
to scroll (make that jump) up or down. Evidently I've
loaded/configured something differently when I installed
slink.

My question is where is the configuration for the scrollbar coming from?
Is there a package that I haven't loaded that controls this?  I'd sure
like to be able to have the hamm scroll bars in slink.

Thanks for any assistance

Do you still have a defaultroute to your ethernet?  You almost certainly

 Would it take a recompile of Slinks ppp package to get it functioning

Hmmm,

I don't do X, and therefore don't know about any differences between an
xterm and the console.

The only way I can get minicom to fire up without error messages, yet
not work, is if I tell it to use a serial port that doesn't have a modem
attached to it.  i.e., I have modems on ttyS0 and ttyS1, if I configure
minicom to use ttyS2 it starts up ok but nothing happens. 

All I can think of is for you to triple check that your serial port does
have a modem hanging off of it and that you are talking to it at a speed
it will respond to... beyond that I am at a loss with what more you can
do.

To get ppp, I rebuilt the kernel. That worked well. However 
I did not notice until the system refused access to my CD 
ROM drive that I did not have CD ROM access. In fact, I tried
to reconfigure to get iso9660 file system support. 

I am  NEVER offered an iso9660 filesystem by the kernel 
package's make config nor make menuconfig. It appears 
iso9660 support for SCSI disks is not an option. I am 
ceratin this pessimisitic attitude is not correct.

I have the following kernel related packages installed,

OT: Need help with Makefile definitions

1999-04-13 Thread kaynjay
I apologize for this note but this list has been far better to me than
Usenet, and I'm hoping someone knowledgable with programming could make some
suggestions.  

I need to compile parts of a program which requires appropriate
modifications to the Makefiles' lines setting the various options for
compiling.  While interested in learning some basic skills in C/C++ at some
point, my last real program was in APL about 20 years ago.  I have no idea
what is good/bad/ugly about the options given.  

I know that I could simply run with what's there and see if that works, but
I'm concerned both about what any error messages may mean, and whether the
compile is the best I could do.  [The application is designed to perform
quantum mechanical and molecular dynamics calculations leading to
understanding interactions between macro- and micromolecular structures; 
these are very extensive, time-consuming runs.]

I'm up to slink when in Debian.  

I'm sorry about the length of the post.  I've attached the two (edited)
Makefiles as one (OS/2) gzip'd file.  Some of the options I think I know
(isn't the C++ compiler actually g++ ??), but mostly I'm clueless ...  

Would someone mind greatly giving me their best shot at these?  I'd _Really_
appreciate it!

POP3 Server? HOWTO?

Hmm, are these supposed to work on Intel machines?  Seems to be mostly mips and
other non-Intel hardware options.

A makefile is a list of items and the commands to run when that item is needed.

foo: a.o b.o c.o
\tgcc a.o b.o c.o -o $@

a.o: a.c a.h
\tgcc a.c -c

b.o: b.c b.h
\tgcc b.c -c

c.o: c.c c.h
\tgcc c.c -c -lfoo -lbar -lbaz \
\t-L/look/here/for/lib -lX11

The \t means tab and where you see one, one MUST exist.  c.o has a \ after the
second line because the line is split over two lines.

The syntax is:

name: depends on
\tcommand

if command needs to be more than one command that is ok.  Each command must
have a \t before it.

g++ is indeed the correct c++ compiler.

For that you would have to add it to the options in

Re: pgcc Debian package?

 First question: I've noticed there are several replacement gcc
 compilers, and I'm not sure what the differences are (if any).  egcc,
 egcs, pgcc, perhaps more.  I've seen that there is a egcc Debian
 package, but not a pgcc one.

 What are the differences between these compilers; is there or will

There's only two major gcc versions other than gcc itself - egcs and
pgcc.  egcs is intended to do exactly the same job as gcc, it just uses
a more open developement model.  As a result, it contains a large number
of improvements over plain gcc.  It also rolls in the Fortran front end
(the FSF one is distributed seperately from gcc), and when version 1.2 
is released it will also have front ends for Chill and Java.

pgcc is targeted at the Pentium.  It's much less stable on other
processors (last time I tried it wouldn't even build on anything except
i386) but on ix86 chips it should produce faster code.  The improvements
vary, but typical figures seem to be about 5-10%.  Improvements are
gradually being folded into egcs, but often things need reimplementing
in a more general fashion and there are problems with the licensing of
some of the code which mean it can't go into FSF gcc or egcs.

There is another compiler called pgcc out there, the commercial Portland 
Group C compiler, but that's nothing to do with gcc.

 there be a pgcc Deb package?

Perhaps.  If someone packages it, I guess.  You could ask the Debian
egcs maintainers.  The main technical argument against it would be
stability.

latex cannot typeset a german \SS

1999-04-13 Thread Conrado Badenas
Hi!

I have installed version 0.9.981113-2 of packages tetex-{bin,dev} and
version 0.9.981113-1 of packages tetex-{base,doc,extra,nonfree}. Last
week I printed a bibliography and one of the authors of one article
didn't printed OK. I typed in the .bib entry:
author=J. Straka and Kloko\v{c}ník and H. Gra\ss{}l

and I got printed STRAKA, J., KLOKO`C'NÍK, AND GRASSL, H.. I don't get
a Cap beta for gra\ss{}l but two S. The bibliographic style that I use
is for the journal IJRS, which requires author names in smalcaps. I have
made some tests for \ss and \SS in roman and smallcaps. These are the
results:

   roman: \ss (beta) \SS (SS)
smalcaps: \ss (ss)   \SS (SS)

It is strange because in the document LaTeX2e for authors (11 june
1997) (usrguide.dvi.gz) in pages 19-20 (section 3.14 Text commands: all
encodings) I can read: \SS: This command produces a German `SS', that
is a capital `beta'. This letter can hyphenate differently from `SS', so
is needed for entering all-caps German.

In order to know what's going up (down ?) I decided to latex
fontsmpl.tex file with cmr (Computer Modern Roman) family. In the 22
pages of sample text I obtained exactly the same results than above (\ss
doesn't work for small caps ---shape sc---, and \SS never works).

Then I read the document LaTeX2e font selection (17 april 1998)
(fntguide.dvi.gz) and discovered that there are eight more families of
fonts, so I latex'ed the file fontsmpl.tex with the other families. I
got exactly the same results than above except for family cmtt in
encoding T1. For family cmtt (Computer Modern Typewriter) in encoding T1
I got:

   roman: \ss (beta)\SS (two SS with a one character width)
smalcaps: \ss (two ss one character width) \SS (as above)

My questions are?

a) Why?
b) What is the right way to typeset a caps german SS? A big beta?

Until I get these questions answered, I have fixed the .bib entry this
way: author=J. Straka and Kloko\v{c}ník and H. Gra{\textnormal\ss}l

Now it prints OK, unless in German there is no caps beta for SS.
