Well I'm editing a book entitled "Economic and Financial Modeling with  
Mathematica", to be published by Springer-Verlag/TELOS in a couple of 
months.  ISBN number is 0-387-97882-8.  I think it is pretty good.

Does anyone know of an e-mail address for Cambridge Animation Systems? They are  
located in England, and make an animation program for the NeXT called "ANIMO".

The program was announced in the Winter 92 Software and Peripherals Catalog,  
and I've recently read that they demonstrated the program at a show in Toronto,  
to very positive response.

I would like to contact them for more info, via e-mail if possible.

Make sure you uncompress from the command line and not using Opener.app.
Also, permissions aren't preserved so you may need to make the thing
executable before it'll work.

Summary: man crontab won't work.
Organization: CSS, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1992 04:25:08 GMT

Hi!

	I recently upgraded to 3.0 (using builddisk) and it seems that man is
(sometimes) broken. If a do a `man crontab', it complains that

	"Reformatting page.  Wait...can't open file man8/cron.8
	 done"

and then creates an empty file  crontab.5 (owned by myself) in /usr/man/cat5.
I have checked that /usr/man/man8/cron.8 is  world-readable (and indeed doing
`man cron' works as expected).  Does anyone have  an idea as to what is going
on?    I   can   reproduce   the   problem   at   will   (by   removing   the
/usr/man/cat5/crontab.5) on entry `crontab', and  on `bootptab' as well. Both
problem seem  to occur at the ".so man8/xxx" line, but the entry for `a.out',
which contains ".so man5/yyy"  works fine  [I am not familiar with  nroff, so
maybe the problem is obvious].

Hello fellow net-ers/NeXTers: 

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

jumped into the world of NeXTs.

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

Thanks,

I worry. It's in my nature. I'm worried about your first sentence. The point
I was trying to make is that I have no idea as to the extent of my legal
liability in operating( knowingly) an FCC A device at home. 
 
I have never had a problem with the Cube. I've never had a problem with lot's
of things. Just because it doesn't cause interference with TV sets, etc...
for you and me is no reason not to be concerned. 
 
What if, in the very unlikely event, the Cube did cause interference with some
device and that resulting in very serious damage? It's a bit like having
someone fix a light socket who isn't qualified as an electrician. They may
have done it successfully 1000 times. It's the one unsuccessful time I worry
about. If a fire can be traced back to that socket, your insurance company
could very well refuse to cover any damages.

Following these instructions, you are actually not limited to

The way I handle this is to leave the Preferences in non-expert mode, 
but put private/vm/swapfile up on the shelf. Then if I want to check my 
swapfile size or change to expert mode, I just click there. If I want to switch back to non-expert mode, the Update Viewers (cmd-u) command takes care
of that. Very easy.

If your keyboard doesn't have a key labelled "Help", you should be able
to simulate one by holding down the Control and Alternate keys at the
same time. I guess it was considered too confusing to repeat "just
press the help key or the Control and Alternate keys on the keyboard"
every single time. But now you know.

Hey!

Y'all know how to set and find out the expiration date on these here  
posts?  From what I understand, the deletion of old posts is dependant on  
the date that they expire, which is somehow set by the poster when he/she  
posts.  I would like to be able to set the expiration date on my posts  
(I'm posting through NewsGrazer 2.0) and would also like to know how to  
find out when other people's articles will expire.

Can someone explain this to me?

Regards,
Simon

   While running the Terminal program, I had just tried to use TeX
(which I've been able to do many times before), and a small window
headed ``system panic'' appeared in the middle of my screen.  It
said something about exception number 15 and Window server death.

  I tried switching the power on and off, and it seemed to be complaining
about inability to make network connections, but my machine has never
been part of a network (I've been using it for over a year).

   Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
