Reading the /etc/utmp file is the easiest way.  Check the utmp man
page for the format.

This is probably not the best place to ask this but....

Does someone know of a Postscript Preview app for a
Mac which is similar to that on the NeXT (Yes, I have
a NeXT but also have a Mac II!) ?

I have OzTeX for the Mac and use its dvi previewer
but would also like to be able to preview and print
Postscript files from the Mac.  I have a da and an
app which will print Postscript files from the Mac
but not preview them!

You need to set Developer Mode in Preferences. Then quit Edit and restart  
it. You should now find the the Nest/Unnest commands in Format->Text.

Another way I found is to check the shell environment for the variable  
"Workspace".  If the variable "Workspace" exists, then the user is at the  
console.  It's worked for me but I always use the csh.  If anyone knows of a  
problem, I would like to know, too.

I have a C routine I'd post but it's at home.  So if interested in seeing the  
routine, send me mail.

psnup comes with NeXT computers along with pslpr, pscat, enscript and other ps utilities.
they have man pages and they seem to work.
there is also a nice utility on the archives named quarto for this sort of thing.

I agree it would be nice if Preview would let you change the layout this way.

I seem to recall a product that claims to allow users on remote machines  
to FAX a document through a fax modem attached to a NeXT.  Unfortunately,  
it only supports Zyxel.  Have any of you tried to fax from a remote  
machine through a DoveFax attached to a NeXT?  Presumably, it involves  
making an EPS file with the proper fax header, and page information, then  
using NeXT's lpr.

Thanks for any advice/recommendations.

I think this only converts the standard german umlauts and german sz.
That's maybe not enough for non-german texts.

	It was 3.2.  I'm working on updating it for NeXTSTEP 3.0 and
currently have it running gnuplot 3.3 beta.

	An unfinished but usable version is on sonata in the
submissions directory -- Gnuplot0.55.tar.Z.  It was written for
NeXTSTEP 2.1, so a header file or two may need to be tweaked for 3.0
(change defaults.h to defaults/defaults.h).  If you're using 3.0 and
don't want to launch the pre-compiled app, try "make nextstep3" -- if
that fails, it is because I missed an "#import" or two -- change them
to their 3.0 counterparts.  The code itself should be fine.

	It works on color machines, but does not make use of color.
I'll put the latest release out there when I like it (4-6 weeks).

Subject: Problems with "open" and "pwd" commands
Originator: lemke@narnia.MITL.COM
Organization: Matsushita Information Technology Laboratory, Princeton, NJ
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 23:09:36 GMT

Hello.  Two problems since our upgrade to 3.0:

Problem #1: The "open" command.  We use an automount entry for
home directories that looks like this:

	/usr/etc/autonfsmount -tm 10 -tl 43200 -a /private /u userhomes

"userhomes" is an nis map (yes, the nexts are running yp) that maps
user names to hostname/directory paths.  All user accounts, regardless
of which disk they actually live on, can be accessed from any of our
machines by accessing "/u/username".  This has worked (and is still
working) just fine.  The problem occurs under version 3.0 with the
"open" command.  For example:

	[158]aslan--> open .bashrc
	open: can't stat file: /auto4000143/.bashrc
	[159]aslan--> open /u/lemke/.bashrc	<---THIS ONE WORKS
	[160]aslan--> 

So you can't use the "open" command to access a directory in
your home directory without specifying an absolute pathname
that starts with "/u".  Under 2.{1,2}, the "open" command worked
fine.  If you're in your home directory and you say "pwd", what
returns is something like "/private/auto4000143".  The "open"
command clearly appears to be leaving off the "/private" part
of the pathname when trying to open file.  Anyone know why?

Problem #2: using "bash" version 1.12, "pwd" (which is not aliased
to anything) gives strange behavior.  Sometimes it says the "right"
thing; other times it returns an empty line.  For example:

	[140]aslan--> pwd
	/private/auto4000143
	[141]aslan--> pwd

	[142]aslan--> pwd

	[143]aslan--> pwd
	/private/auto4000143
	[144]aslan-->

Anyone know why?  Thank you.

I'm intertested in who the company is that distributes DFax, and its cost.   
You mention Total Systems Software, but I understand they don't distribute

They are the same as golddig, but not the same as golddig2 (both for X).   
golddig2 is a newer version and has 18 levels; the first 10 or so levels  
are *almost* the same.  Level seven was slightly modified in golddig2; I  
assume this was to make it possible to finish (a nice feature in a level).

NNTP-Posting-Host: frankpc.jpl.nasa.gov

I've been putting together an anonymous ftp site to distribute,
among other things, GIF files of images from JPL's space
missions.  Besides the picture files we would also like to offer
people shareware/freeware GIF viewers for various platforms,
including NeXT.

From Compuserve I had obtained a file called nextgi.Z.  Someone
with a NeXT tells me that this will display GIF87a files ok, but
it produces an error when you try to view a GIF89a file.  (The
difference between the two formats is that GIF89a files have
embedded caption text as a "comment extension block."  All of our
GIF files have these embedded captions.)

I consulted the faq for alt.binaries.pictures.utilities, but it's
not altogether clear what would be a suitable GIF viewer for NeXT
and whether it or they can work with GIF89a files.  One friend
suggested that maybe NeXTs could work with X-Windows viewing
software such as xloadimage or xv.  Since I don't have access to
a NeXT, however, I'm unable to test any of this out.

Can anyone make any recommendations?  (If you need to get your
hands on a GIF89a file you can visit our ftp site,
pubinfo.jpl.nasa.gov (128.149.6.2); the GIFs, all of which are
GIF89a with embedded captions, are in the directory /images.)

Thanks much if anyone can make any comment.
