If I take Rocket's documentation on Resize and use it "as is" in a document
I intend to sell, post publicly, or take credit for having authored it, I
have violated their copyright; I require their permission to continue. If I
take Rocket's documentation on Resize and immaterially change it (change a
word here or there) and use it in a document I intend to sell, post, or take
credit for having authored it, I have violated their copyright; I require
their permission to continue. And kindly note that the copyright holder
differs, depending on the version covered by the documentation you have
used.
If I create documentation on how to use Resize without copying or
referencing the Rocket documentation, I don't need Rocket's permission. If
someone were to post a question in this group on how to use the Resize
command and I were to respond to it with a copy of the Resize documentation,
then my note needs to state that per the Rocket so-and-so manual, here is
the Resize command; I am not profiting from the use of Rocket's
documentation, and I have cited the source of the information. If I create
documentation for a solution (whether internal or external to my
organization) that states that my solution makes use of the Resize command
and only discusses the manner in which I use the command, then I do not need
the copyright or author's blessing.
If I were to take the documentation that Rex has created, use it as is but
add the clarity you seek, I need Rex's permission if it were copyrighted. If
it is not copyrighted, then as a fellow team member in this forum, it is not
only polite, but the right thing to do to offer Rex a collaborative effort
on improving his documentation. Rex is free to decline, in which case you
have three options:
a) Working from your own knowledge, create your own
documentation that offers the clarity you seek (which would be difficult, as
you seek clarity) and properly cite Rex's work
b) Work harder at understanding the features you seek to
utilize
c) Find another way to address your needs
Should Rex accept your offer of collaboration, then you hopefully achieve
the clarity you seek and the documentation may be improved.
It's more than being polite - it's being respectful of others work, and
about giving credit to whom (or where) it is due.

So you wouldn't create documentation on how to use the RESIZE verb without
the approval of... Rocket ?
That's a whole level of politeness that escapes me.
I only ask for approval when it's required.

Will,
If the instructions were copyrighted, it would be.
nd I can say that when you work as a member of a team (and I think all of he
members in this group are a part of a team), it isn't regarded as
professional" or "classy" when one takes another's initial work and odifies,
alters, expands, or reduces it without consent and approval from he
originator.
fter all, why would documentation be any different than the end result of
our daily programming or solution-providing labor?

hey are not clear enough.
ou can't step on anyone by giving instructions. There's no copyright
reventing anyone else from making up other instructions.

ex does have some documentation on u2pipe, but, I have not looked at it in
hile.
could write up the php/apache stuff pretty easy and make it nooby proof, T,
I haven't done that because it was not my idea, and I don't want to
llegally" step on Kevin.
owever, I did write up complete instructions on how to install Apache on IX
.3 if anyone needs that.
have to write things down because my limited brain power often forgets.

I know that Tony feels like people should just get smarter, but I'm not he
only one who has pointed out that there simply are no good install anuals
for any of the various free options. Yes there are installation
nstructions, but they quickly spiral off into the level of geek speak that
ou have to already know, in order to understand. At which point most eople
give up.

The benefit of using any http server , iis, cassini, apache etc, is its ole
multiplexing functionality, which to do well is not trivial. Iis is so very
integrated into the OS, the whole http layer is in fact inside the , as
opposed to being an application on top of the os. So it makes sense n any
ways.
And if you want to use .net (of which I am a big fan) and you don't have to
e linux then why use mono ? Contrary to what many people believe Visual
udio, .net, MS Sql are all free (as in beer) for development/small and dium
scale deployment.

ubject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1 Unresponsive UO Connection For reference, t's
a widespread myth that you need IIS to do web services r other website
ntegration with Windows. That's simply not so. IIS is an pplication that
rovides many services including authentication, memory anagement, process
llocation, routing, logging, and many others. If "all want is a pipe into
my daatabase" then you can easily run a Windows rvice that's listening to a
socket which will do whatever you want. You st won't get all of those other
services.
Now, in response to not needing Windows Server, I try to avoid discussions
religion. ;) Seriously, if you like like the ASP.NET model, just not ndows
or Microsoft, look into Mono
FOSS) where you can run your code in Windows or Linux, just like Java. Or
lightly more practical) run a Windows 7 or XP guest in a virtual machine er
Linux. It's just another application, about 400MB of overhead, and ouldn't
require much maintenance unless you're doing other things with it.
f course these aren't solutions for the masses but for some sites these
lutions could be ideal in comparison with others. YMMV T
From: John Thompson
I do remember playing with this a few years ago, but, at the time I wasn't
"smart" enough to make it work. I did like the fact that it did not need
IIS, or Windows Server to work :)
