that depends on the person. some people have rather civil

feeling they get from it. not my place to tell them it will fuck their
lives up beyond repair, because i have no way to know if it will or
not. in fact, it prolly won't if it hasn't already.  only person who
can decide that someone has a drinking problem is the one drinking.

how does one distinguish imaginary contentment from real contentment?
if i think i'm happy and i say so, who can tell me i'm not, not
really? if i've let go of the things that cause me pain for a while,
whatever the mechanism, what right does anyone have to tell me i'm still
in pain?

along the same lines, isn't any emotional state (joy, sorrow,
whatever) temporary anyway? i seriously doubt that anyone here
believes that booze will make you happy forever. it's a crutch, and
sometimes when it's been a long week and your brain hurts and you're
tired of everything and you just wanna get away from yourself, you
need a crutch.

i've found that as long as i'm honest with myself about my
relationship with alcohol, i can deal with it. when i start trying to
bullshit myself about who's in control or what the deal is, i get
messed up.

i know you meant well, but what's true in your life doesn't always
generalize.

in Austin.  Yes, there's lots of geeks, but there's some really interesting
people on the net too.  You have an advantage in that regard-

The fact that Esther is rather calm within her environment, not
running around like a beheaded chicken, could be seen as a sign of depression
to us (to me, it does not), but see it from her perspective;
[from page 120.. as mentioned previously:]

	"'I will just sit here in the sun on this park bench five
minutes more by the clock on that building over there,' I told
myself, 'and then I will go somewhere and do it.'
	I summoned my little chorus of voices.
	//doesn't your work interest you, Esther?//
	//You know, Esther, you've got the perfect setup of a true
neurotic.//
	//You'll never get anywhere like that, you'll never get any-
where like that, you'll never get anywhere like that.//"
[...]
	'Factitious!' my creative writing professor at college
scrawled on a story of mine called "The Big Weekend."
	I hadn't known what factitious meant, so I looked it up in
the dictionary.
	Factitious, artificial, sham.
	//You'll never get anywhere like that.// [...  "

----------
I know the above was a long example, but I think it demonstrates exactly
what Esther's going through from her perspective.  The Bell Jar to Esther
is not depression (can't find the exact quote, sorry--), but rather, a
choking environment where her role as a woman in society is so ill-defined,
and she can not find a way to relate to it all.  The slight confidence she
gives the psychiatrist in the middle of the novel is returned by him 
interrupting her to say, "where did you go to school again?" and relate that
back to some interesting occurance in his own life.  So it's obvious that,
according to Esther, people in her environment trivialize her very existence.

And this aint Angst? :)

I think looking at the novel as an example of a psychological condition
trivializes the author's intent.  Not that I knew her personally, of course...

[i prefer to look at Esther's humanity first and foremost.  and i never
thought i'd say such a line as that, but oh well.]

As far as I know, the Concurrent C programming language system is

I don't know how much the AT&T package costs.

After using sccs for a while I decided to move to rcs, mainly because I
wanted the text that rcs provides and because I had some thoughts of
using cvs in the future. I find that I miss sccs clean and info,
otherwise they seem pretty much alike. I like being able to give a text

I have worked with the interface and internals (such as they are) of
RCS and SCCS. To apply a command to every file with rcs you use
'RCS/*' as opposed to 'SCCS'. This isnt a big difference.

I prefer the style of RCS over SCCS. I happen to support a code
control system that uses SCCS as a back-end, and I have found that I'd
prefer RCS. If you are interested in controling concurent development
on different versions of the same file, I'd reccomend RCS/CVS.

WRT 'fetch'.. if you mean having 'Make' get the file automatically...
GNU Make supports both SCCS and RCS.

In general I'd say it is better to learn both. I find something
disturbed about the SCCS 'protect the user from his data' tendency.
This is most apparent in the existance of the 'unget' command. RCS is
quite straightforward about what it does.

All,
  Sun Press announcement as reprinted in Sun-Flash mailing list
announcing the Differential SCSI for the 600MP and Sparc 10
line says:

...
Q:  Why aren't the DSBE/S and 2.1GB DSCSI drives supported on the
    SPARCsystem 2?

A:  Because the DSBE/S card will not fit properly in the SPARCsystem 2
    chassis.  The opening in the back panel of the SS2 is not large
    enough.
... 

Can anyone verify this? Would a slight modification to the case
(or maybe a SBUS expansion box) allow this configuration to be
used? Has anyone tried any of these things?

I have some Differential disks that will end up on an HP (Which 
happens to use the same High Denisty DB50 connector for differential
SCSI as Sun does for Single Ended SCSI If Sun did this there would
not be a space problem).

Organization: Prime Computer, Inc.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I have recently aquired a version
of PC-NFS version 3.0 (and also the upgrade package to 3.1).  Now I know that 
these version are very old but I wanted to know if they should still work with
MS-DOS 5.0 and SunOS 4.1.1.  

The problem that I am having is that I don't seem to be able to read or write
files on an NFS mounted disk.  I can LS (and DIR) fine but if I try a 
"copy c:\autoexec.bat e:\" I get the ol' "Drive not ready.  Abort, Retry, Fail"
message.  When I select fail I receive and INT 24 error.  I also get the same
thing when I try TYPEing a file.  Oddly enough, I can use redirection to create 
a file.  In otherwords, dir c:\*.* > e:\foobarhead actually creates the
file (although I can't determine its contents!)

This is not a permission problem.  The directory that I'm mounting has a mode
of 777.  I have also, built, installed and have been authenticated by rpc.pcnfsd.

Am I doing something wrong?  Does PC-NFS 3.0 work with MS-DOS 5.0 and SunOS
4.1.1.  Has anyone got this working (or should I say ... STILL working)?  

Thanks in advance,

I don't know about newer releases, but under SunOS 3.5 this combination
will not work.  The mere presence of an Adaptec on the SCSI bus, even if
it is set to target #6 and has no drives attached, will cause the Emulex
to encounter SCSI disconnect errors.  I suspect that the si driver looks
at all the targets during autoconfig, and makes some special internal
mode setting if it sees an Adaptec.
