An Amiga emulator would be very interesting (but solely for games).
I can not believe that it is possible to emulate all those
graphics,sprites and sounds with good performance.
How much I would pay depends on the usability of the program (SoftPC
is nearly unusable with graphics). If it is good, I'll pay $200-$300.

set Edit to start in developer mode via preferences

Summary: Need to receive data from other systems via ethernet and serial port.
Keywords: interface



I have a need to receive files from a variety of other platforms, from
mainframes to PC's.  I need to be able to receive it via either ethernet or
serial line, depending on the capabilities available.  Ethernet should provide
no problems and I guess using something like kermit would do the proper file
format conversions and error detection for serial lines.

But then I need to be able to map data fields in the received files with a
standard format.  So I need to know the mapping of data element names (this
data is database data, so is identified by different names on different
systems) and the positions of each data element in each data row (or record).

Provided with this info, does anyone know of an available app to do the data
mappings, preferably a NeXTSTEP app?  If so, please contact me.

Thanks.

Mr. Arzt,

    Since you placed your order quite early on, your statement is quite  
understandable, and your long tried patience is quite greatly appreciated.  At  
least you may take heart, realizing that quite some time ago, at your request,  
we faxed an office on your campus WITH the *even then* operable send software.   
At the time, of course, we were still voluminously logging everything it was  
doing on EVERY connection, not a feature to be included at *that* level of  
detail for production.
  
    As I've mentioned in several posts this evening, we are now working on  
compensation for transmission errors on RECEIVED faxes.  Data handling is  
completed.  Sending and receiving faxes are frozen, except for this ``cleanup''  
of data containing transmission errors.  The installation/configuration tool  
(Next-Interface ..app) is being kept open for theh ``H''/``J'' revision ROMs  
until the last moment.  Package/printed documentation/labeling for initial  
shipment is completed with the exception of the at-ship insertion, which for  
initial shipments is planned to be Next-Printer printed.
  
    We apologize for missed estimates given hesitantly to you, personally.   
Please accept this public apology.

I think someone from NeXT posted that this was a known bug and they recommend using
NXGetTempFilename() instead.
you could also try mktemp() which may be more portable.

Hello fellow net-ers/NeXTers: 

I am looking for FTP sites that have FAQs and other helpful NeXT tips (digital editions

month break in FTPability, and this is the first time I have been able to FTP since I  
jumped into the world of NeXTs.

Any other nifty FTPable stuff for the NeXT would be appreciated.

Thanks,

This can be _real_ annoying when using emacs; it is possible to remap
this behaviour by putting an appropriate entry in the .tiprc file; you
need to make an entry for the rc value; check out the man page for
tip; I forget what I mapped my rc to on my home machine.

Try hitting control-A  this toggles you between uppercase and lowercase and

Works just fine for me.....  EXCEPT in one case.  I've found that if running
tcsh on both the remote NeXT and my local NeXT that ~t has problems. This
is actually related, distantly, to the above problem. It's because control-A

Not sure what you mean here...... Are you trying to use tip to transfer binary
files?  That's a NO NO. uuencode the file first, then do the transfer. If
taht's not what you mean I'll need more specific examples.

Nope, this is a TalkBack bug which occurs on certain network setups.   
We're making the fix, and will put a new version of the program on the  
archives ASAP.

If you run the "hostname" command in a Terminal window and it returns  
anything other than just the machinename (ie. if it returns a fully  
qualified hostname), TalkBack 1.0 won't work for you.  Version 1.01 fixes  
this.

I'm in no hurry to fax things.  I'd just like to know the truth, and you seem

BTW, don't mean to make a further delay (possibly a next release idea?) but
how will DFax support caller ID available in the new ROMs?

Yep, "It Just Works."

It (NXFax) does have copy protection though that depends on your hostid.
I'm sure that will eventually cause me some annoyance if a upgrade some

free faxing, etc. I would have gotten.

I found that behaviour too, BUT only with bookshelves that were made  
before upgrading. Since I removed my old bookshelves and built the new  
ones from scratch everything works nice and fast.
With the old bookshelves I found another strange behaviour: Even if the  
information was found Librarian kept spinning wheel and slowd down the  
machine to a minimum of workability. But all this has gone after deleting  
the old bookshelves and ALSO removing the old indices!!!

I ordered the CD ROM drive + 3.0 upgrade special deal when I was at
Stanford earlier in the year. Since the 3.0 delivery date slipped it
hadn't
arrived by the time I left (the drive in the meantime arrived via the
Stanford Bookstore) so I called NeXT to find out what was up
and they said the software would be shipped directly to me. There's still
no sign of 3.0 and NeXT are insisting that the person I delegated to
receive stuff for me while I'm away from Stanford produce full details of
the original order because they can't look it up by name. This is a
problem since I didn't leave the paperwork somewhere he can easily
find it.

Has anyone else had problems getting their 3.0 out of NeXT? Do they
really have an order system with no search by name? Any ideas on
how to get a more helpful attitude out of NexT appreciated.
