Re: Host text file in Arabic

Phil, Having worked at a company that had an Arabic contract a long tome ago in a galaxy far, far away, I can tell you that Arabic numbers are not foreign -- they have always read and printed their numbers left-to-right. Remember, they invented the concept of zero. The company I worked for at

But to foul up my own point, I just remembered that on the linux systems I have played with, the GNU cp command does NOT copy original date/time UNLESS you specify the -a parameter. Peter -Original Message- From: Charles Mills [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 6:22 PM

No matter what system you happen to be on, when you display the creation date/time for a file, you expect it to be a constant that reflects the actual creation date/time. Copy semantics should always preserve this constant quality to avoid the surprise factor. And even if an ftp is a foreign

That explanation does not cover all cases. There is also the dropped VPN problem, where DHCP lease has not changed, IP address has not changed, but VPN tunnel is dropped due to outside influences (timeouts due to volume at your ISP can cause this, I have been told). In these cases there is no

Thanks for the archive pointer, Sam, that was very helpful. I did read about Gilbert's exit software earlier in the thread, but IANASP so I can't put it on the systems at my employer, I can only suggest it to the powers. Still, doesn't it seem strange to need an exit to get what should be normal

In my specific case I am passing p1, p2, ... deliberately. I will try removing the operator and see what is generated... OK, tried that and without a operator the generated code passes the address of a COPY of the value of the variable. So, the parameter list is addresses, but NOT the address

Bob, The *reason* that your C compile may be using PM3 features may be due to the compiler options that are set for your installation and/or compile PROC. Use of options like GOFF and others cause the compiler to output object code that can only be bound into a program object. Other options I

TSO replacement? [WAS: RE: Userids]

Ed, I've been curious about this topic for a while, and have not seen a reasonable answer to it yet: If TSO is a dead horse, as you say, then what is the currently available replacement for TSO (i.e., normal, everyday developer access and usage) supposed to be? Has IBM ever told anyone their

But that doesn't cover the millions of lines of batch and CICS and DB2 and IMS code in all the languages supported that is still being maintained and newly developed. I'm sorry, but Java and C# and .Net aren't going to replace those anytime soon, IMHO. Add friendly (YMMV) interfaces to them,

Agreed about WSED. As for the shell environment, not even a remote possiblility until the kernel can run without sucking up so much CPU that it chokes a T-rex (i.e., get rid of all the busy-wait loops), and not until X11 is ported and supported fully so that KDE and/or gnome GUI environments can
