Sigh.....  still more bad news.....  well, my 3.0 hasn't arrived yet (STILL
MORE BAD NEWS :-(  and this, along with other comments (particularly about
speed) make me think I'll put off the upgrade until I get more RAM, by
which time, if we all "clap our hands" Kenny will have fixed KPerfMon ???

Is this really more than a spell checker? Your pub (which I
received by e-mail - thank you) states that this product
is 300k, uncompressed. I find it hard to believe that
anything this small could be more than a spell checker.
After all, Websters uses what, 11 Mb? 

For people who are interested in this kind of product, I
would also like to mention that HSD is presently
beta-testing a spell checking app. It conforms with the
NeXT spell checking API, and can be accessed either
through the Edit->Spelling button or as a service.
I believe it will do English, French and German.

While I welcome the arrival of Pro Lexis and HDSpell, these
products confirm the fact that NeXT doesn't intend to fully
support other languages "out of the box", and that people who
want to work in another language than English will have to pay
extra $$$...

Oh, is that documented in the User Manual, then?

I said earlier that this doesn't work; in fact it does, if you  
alt-click-click from the browser window or icon path.  If you attempt it  
from the File Viewer shelf, the currently running copy is made active.

I for one believe Total Systems Software and Bruce Gingery. I hope their
Dfax software is great and am willing to wait. They never lied to me, and
have taken a great deal of time to help me with totally unrelated 
modem and uucp problems. Perhaps if it hadn't been for me, Dfax
would be a commercial hit by now! (Just kidding). 

They have not cashed my check on my pre-release order. I mailed it a month ago. 
At that time I thought it would take a while. No-one said it wa easy especially
with the numerous Supra ROM revisions. Anyone who asked specifically would have 
been kept abreast of the development of the software. It's bad to see them lose 
business. There are so few developers trying to make it easier to 
use third-party products with the Next. The Supra unlike some modems
is a wonderful modem! So please give them the benefit of a doubt.

I found a bug in Librarian 3.0.

Select the 'In Contents' and 'Prefix' mode and search for
'help build' (this takes minutes) but if you search for 'help' or 'build'  
alone there is no problem. But be careful after 'help build' every search  
is slow. So restart DL after this.
As far as I could see this is a bug in the IndexingKit. I used gdb to  
check this out. 2 threads do something with the IndexingKit an one of them  
seems to be locked in some mutex most of the time.
After the result is displayed 1 thread still performs indexing-stuff

I've come across an interesting problem with Movie.  If I generate eps  
files and convert them to tiff, Movie will not display these tiff files  
properly if there are more than 9 of them.

When Movie first opens the anim directory, the control panel pops up along  
with a one pixel wide window about 40 pixels high for the tiff file.

Anybody see this behavior before or know a fix?

I know that Mme has an animation feature, but Movie has some features  
which make it more convienent in some circumstances.

I received a phone call (in response to E-mail) from one of the owners
of Total Sys Soft who told me there had been some minor troubles getting
the package to supercede the NeXT's getty process, but that this had
been worked out and the software would ship "soon."  Unfortunately, 
that was 2-3 weeks ago, so it's already past "soon" by my definition.
I'll try contacting the company again to see if I can learn more.

I sent in the order many moons ago, and was told slightly less moons ago that
the product was done, but the packaging wasn't.  The RSN thing came up, and
the packaging has now taken about one month.

The promo literature looks promising.  I sure hope they ship the dang thing

All of them quit unexpectedly (from the command line I get the error:

There is a simple demo program, "DensityPlot", which illustrates one way

DensityPlot can be obtained via anonymous ftp from pellns.alleg.edu.  It

Ahem, I spent two days trying to get pcomm run on both an Ultrix machine and a  
NeXT (2.1) - in vain. I gave up, but as pcomm runs perfectly on an AT&T  
SYSVR3.2, I would also be interested in the 'correct' settings.

The main problem on the NeXT is that it has some of the include files for SYSV.  
Poking around a little bit I found that using -DBSD, masking the memset stuff  
in tow files (strings and inputs I think) and not using shared memory compiled  
a version that ran and alowed local processing, but as soon as I tried  
connecting to a port, the process hung and was not interruptable.

On the Ultrix machine all worked fine upto and including the communication with  
the serial port. But trying to return to local mode (CTRL-A x for example)  
failed and I had to kill the processes (pcomm and pcomm_input) to get out.

ANYBODY have the settings?

-Robert

I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who has built and used CVS
1.3 on a NeXT, particularly NS2.X (for now).  I'm just starting into
it myself, and have already come up against one bug (NeXT's tmpnam()
doesn't work) and one half-baked CVS command (cvs release just doesn't
seem to work).  I'm wondering what else is in there.  (Yes, I've mailed
info-cvs@prep...)

I was following the NS3.0 nib directory thread that was going a few
weeks ago, and am further wondering if anybody has yet approached
info-cvs people about a way to address this.  It seems clear that the
best way to handle it without a tremendous change to the way CVS keeps
its accounting info, is to move all the CVS/ directories out of the
working source directories into a parallel CVS admin directory tree of
some sort, specified in the environment ($CVSADM?), and defaulting to
~/CVS if no environment value is set.  Comments?
