Microsoft have some mode where you install the drivers on the computer that the printer is attached to, but they have to be able to run on the computer that is doing the printing. The best way to explain it is to assume that we have a bunch of printers physically attached to a linux/samba print server. You can install the windows drivers onto the linux machine, and when a windows machine wants to print it pulls the drivers down and uses them. So in this example, if you didn't have your fancy compatibility hack you could have the printer attached to an XP machine. But your Windows 7 machine still wouldn't be able to print, because it couldn't pass the job to the XP machine to use the XP drivers, and there aren't any 7 drivers for the machine to pull down and use. That said, I shall have to investigate this fix. My father-in-law has a printer that has no Win7 drivers, so anything he wants to print he has to save onto his XP machine and print from there.

If the metadata has changed, it will then compare MD5 sums or whatever of chunks of the file to identify which bits have changed. That way, if you have a 2Gb file and change one record, rsync will find the changed block and send just that, without having to copy the entire file. If you can find something like that, it'll give you far shorter network backup times. (Combined with DBPAUSE/DBRESUME, it might well give you zero backup downtime as seen by the users.)

IIS is easy to install, and 3rd party SFTP is too, with virtual accounts as act like real Windows accounts. And yet we hear loads of stories about how updates regularly break Windows ... although they tend to be client stuff that suffers most of that. The counter-advantage of linux is it's easy to run a stripped-down box with only the services you want.

Clearing the log files appears has had very positive results so far. If they're all in one directory, then I'm not sure how to do it, but you can set something like the sticky bit on the directory. That then means that the permissions on the directory will over-ride the umask setting. So you can make sure log files can be deleted ...

As some of you here know already, I'm a carer now :-( and that plays havoc with my ability to sit down and concentrate on work :-( Cheers, Wol ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

LinkedIn is the clear winner for B2B interaction, while Facebook is huge for B2C brands, or anything with a mainstream consumer component. I use Facebook for personal connections and LinkedIn for business connections, and I try not to cross-pollinate too much! :) Be aware that according to Gartner, the largest single demographic using Twitter is not teens and tweens, but baby boomers! While the former get all the media attention, your prospective customers and suppliers are probably among the latter. They can all improve your SEO more than anything else you do, but note that Google+ improves it inordinately (I'm pretty sure Google gives it priority.) Google+ is also the winner social network for FLOSS developers - not least because of that distrust of farcebook amongst many of them. I've got a linked-in account and a G+ account but refuse to have one on facebook ...

Re: [U2] ISO Date Format
On 11/03/2013 17:16, Woodward, Bob wrote: An interesting note is using the OCONV(IDATE,'D-YMD[2,2,2]') format, the dash can be replaced with the digits 5 to 9 but using the digits 0 to 4 result in an output delimited with a space. Would have been acceptable (and nice) to have been able to get 13003011 but oh well. I guess I could use 'D5YMD[2,2,2]' to give me the value 13503511 just as well. That's because the first character after the D is not specified as the delimiter, but as the year length. And as is usual for Pick, if it doesn't make sense Pick assumes that that argument isn't there and pushes it back one in the list. Because 5 is not a valid year length, it gets pushed back to the delimiter place. Try D44YMD and see if that works ... :-) Cheers, Wol ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Their user account is setup exactly like mine, there is no voc entry for the user and I have deleted and recreated the user a couple times just today. Is there anything else I can look at that would be preventing the him from logging in? We're running 10.0.21 on windows server 2003. Do they have log in locally rights on the server? That's the typical problem, I think. Cheers, Wol ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Record locks (Unidata 7.2)

Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was exactly what READU did! If you don't provide a LOCKED clause, READU will hang and wait until the lock clears, then read and lock the record. As I say, check the docu and make sure I'm right ... I've never had to bother much with locks ... Cheers, Wol Thank you, Jon Wells ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
