Subject: CL + CLOS for NeXTs?  Free?
Date: 1 Sep 92 11:18:59 +1200
Organization: University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand

Hi all,

I've been asked to see if I can locate a good free/cheap implementation of
Common Lisp for NeXT TurboSlabs running NeXTstep 2/3 - and yes, I believe 
that that rules out Allegro.  In particular, we are looking for a CL that 
implements CLOS - the "Object System".

So far as I can tell, the four leading CL players are:

Allegro & Lucid - both costly commercial implementations
[Austin] Kyoto  - doesn't include CLOS
CMU CL          - free, good, does CLOS, for Mach,...but not for NeXTs!

Can anyone correct me on any of these points?
Are there any alternatives that I haven't heard of?

TIA, replies by mail puh-leez, NeXTmail *not* welcome.

Any interesting compiler switches for different architectures?  I'd like
to see how NeXT is going to handle that, or if they handle it in this  
release.

Sigh, even when I get my 3.0 CD it will probably be a few weeks before I  
can install it.  Maybe months.  Sniff.

I need a billing/customer database system for a services company. As a
services company, we have customer accounts, some with an attached PO,
all of which have both recurring charges and one-time charges that are
generated from log files. In addition, the ability to launch do some
Unix-level setup for new customers is important.

Does something even vaguely resemblig this exist? A sufficiently
extensible database system would do, but none of the demos I've looked

Some wonderful guys who wish to remain anonymous believe that they have come
up with a simple fix to make Allegro CL 3.1.20 work under NeXTstep 3.0. I
have asked them to verify this using the Allegro calculator example. They
will probably get back to me Monday with instructions on installing this
fix.

    I'd like to know if there's an app that can be run from the command line to print a PostScript file. You'll see, if I print a PS file with Preview it's OK, but if I print it with lpr it prints an extra page, and I need some app that can be run from the command line so that I can invoke it from a shell program for an automatic process.

  Does anybody know about an app that can do this or if there's a way to configure lpr so it doesn't print an extra page (the problem is that the extra page is not printed blank, therefore it is wasted, now this page is printed after every page printed).

  Thanks in advance

Subject: Mach and nbuf. 
Organization: University of Saskatchewan
Distribution: USA
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 03:49:38 GMT

I followed the thread about changing the kernel parameter 'nbuf' with 
some interest, and probably incomplete understanding.  I decided to
alter the number of buffers just to see what sort of difference it would
make.  I used the bsd() sdmach nbuf=NNN command, rather than hack the
kernel.  I understood that the command above would have to be re-entered
at every reboot, while the purpose of the hack was to make the change
permanent.  However, I rebooted the machine to undo the change in
nbuf and to my suprise it came back up with the altered number of buffers.

I mention this 1) to find out more about this behavior, and 2) to say that
doing it this way seems a lot easier than hacking the kernel.

Any comments, info?

Thank you very much and have a good day.

You know, Glenn, I don't know how you guys are going to stay in business  
selling great products for only $XX!  We love LockScreen and would easily have  
paid $YYY for it's features!  I hope that you know what you are doing.  I  
assume that PasteUp will be priced higher (probably around $ZZZ, right?) and  
will sell many thousands, so I'm not worried too much.

Just my $0.ZZ.

Hello Everyone,

I just scanned through the FAQs and saw no mention of
the following...

I'm looking for a simple calendar manager, preferably
one that is in the public domain.  "On Duty" looks great
but it's obviously designed for offices.  At a list
price of $395, it's just overkill for remembering Mom's

Any leads would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

We have a product called LockScreen that fits this description.  It's
a cool screen saver with password locking.  It's normally $XX but until
the end of August (not many days left!) it's available at a 70% discount
for only $YY as part of our Summer Madness Sale.

I have tried to use "-NXHost" with a SLIP-Connection. I know that it

be very slow. The Problem is it didn't work. I got the message:
"DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host hostname"
I assume that the settings "PublicWindowServer" etc. are correct.

 1) Is there a timeout which prevents the window server from connecting?

2) What settings apart from "PublicWindowServer" can prevent the window  
server from connecting?

Make sure that 'hostname' is either known via DNS or in the hosts
table of the machine you're running the application on.

I've become more than a little bit frustrated with our friend, ixBuild.  All I  
want to do is something like

ixBuild -d basename

But the -d switch doesn't seem to do what the man file claims.. It doesn't send  
any parameters of value, most notably not the name of the file being  
processed..

-r doesn't seem to work either.. I try to send it a list like

pathname descriptor\n
pathname descriptor\n

And it worked on the first filename, and then failed on the second line: it  
thought that I meant "pathname descriptor" as the pathname.. (I.e. it didn't  
recognize the white space in the second line).

Is anyone following me?  What the heck is going on?  Should I just give up on  
ixBuild as a lousy program that was never debugged except to the extent that  
the Digital Librarian interface needed it, or am I just missing something?  Who  
has used this successfully?  My goal is to use it with Gopher, if that sparks  
anyone's memories..

I'm holding a cardboard and plastic CDROM case.  It has a gold border

green letters:

		NeXTSTEP 
		Release 3

		Release 3
		Versi n 3
		Versione 3

On the inside of the front jacket is a 3.5'' floppy disk that says:

On the back it says:

You don't need the floppy disk to upgrade if you have already  
installed 3.0PR1 or 3.0PR2.

I'd tell you what's on the CD-ROM itself, but it's spinning its  
little heart out just now...

I've submitted several files to sonata in /pub/next/submissions, and
will get around to submitting them to cs.orst soon.

FlyView.BackModule.tar.Z	// precompiled ready-to-go module
Fly_Module.README		// short readme file
Fly_source.tar.Z		// the source

"Fly" is a 3.0 BackSpace module that shows how to use NXBundles and to
create your own inspector for BackSpace.  It's pretty simple and there
is online help.  You can have between 1 and 20 flies that can just
swarm around on the screen or you can try to splat them with the mouse
if you wish >:).  It comes with controls to modify the fly's speed and
the frame rate of the animation so that you can tailor BackSpace's CPU
usage to your personal liking.  Fly will work on any bitdepth screen
and will choose the best (color) image possible.

It comes complete with source and is freeware (of course).  You'll
need to place the module in one of the preordained locations.  Read
the docs for BackSpace for further details.

Many, many thanks to Sam Streeper for providing BackSpace, and all the
support and suggestions that he gave me during Fly's (three days) of
development.  Also I'd like to thank Dan Decasper for providing the
"splat" sound.  It was taken from his "SNAP" collection on the
archive.

Have fun,
Todd

I have recompiled AKCL (version 615 or so) under NeXT 3.0 and
it works fine.  I had to make two changes:

In akcl/c/NeXTUnixsave.c, the declaration:

  extern struct section *getsectbyname(char *, char *);

causes a fatal compiler error.  The new declaration
(in /NextDeveloper/Headers/bsd/lib.h) is:

  /* getsecbyname(3)	*/
  extern const struct section *getsectbyname(
	 const char *segname, 
	 const char *sectname);


Also, the library /usr/lib/libg.a is not included
in the 3.0 release, so I removed the -lg switch
from the LIBS statement in akcl/unixport/makefile.
