Excuse me if this is a FAQ, but I was wondering whether I can 
use PC-specific CD-ROMS (that is, ones with PC search software) 
on my NeXT if I get a copy of the PC-emulator.

Thanks in advance,

Hi NeRDs,
 
Yes, I have encountered that problem with JPEG also, and with bright blue
images too.  I didn't look at the .tiff, but I'll bet you used PoV
(original poster please write me if you want to chat about it, I use it
a lot).  I gave up and now use horizontal differencing in LZW compression
for pretty good results.  Try compiling the PBMplus utilities, they work
really well.  I don't like the thought that JPEG is lossy anyway.

Try grepping through /usr/adm/messages for "Ethernet address".

BTW, not all NeXT's have an ethernet address that begins 00 00 0f 00.
Mine begins:  00 00 0f 01.

It's a squash file.  There's something called unsquashonly on the archives.

Hmmm.. maybe we can ask the NXFax people how they do it. Don't they have to
get around this also? I think that you can have the fax on one machine
and then initiate the fax from a different machine on the network. But, then
again, I may be totally wrong here :) I know they had to do something so that
you can fax stuff without making your window server public, though. Maybe
they are related.

1.  You don't want to use dump.  Dump will only dump full partitions.  It's

if you have permission to do so.) 


3.  You may prefer to use Zip, organize your stuff into chunks that zip into
sub floppy sized chunks, and keep it that way.  Would mean that you don't
have to spend forever inserting disks to get one file back.

4.  While there is some additional overhead for Next format vs Dos format, the
Next format is signficantly faster.  Many fewer yawns.

Response has been spotty lately.  Most jobs seem to be
making it but taking much longer than usual.  I haven't
nailed the problem completely, but it looks like some

David A Jaffe (david@jaffe.com) sent me mail with the solution to this problem.   
You must make sure that all of the machines have access to  
/usr/local/lib/dsp/monitor/mkmon_8k.dsp.  I had to create the directories and  
copy the file to all of the local machines, but that sure beat installing the

Did someone say that?  The first three bytes of the address belong
to the manufacturer, so all NeXT's ought to start with 00 00 0f.  The
last three bytes uniquely identify each NeXT, and so those are also
the last three bytes of the hostid.

>> Try grepping through /usr/adm/messages for "Ethernet address".

This might not work.  messages appears to have a size limit, and stuff
drops off of the beginning.  messages.old is the same, so it can drop
off of there too.  Just for fun, I grepped for "Ethernet address" on
every file in /usr/adm on a long-ago booted NeXT, and it wasn't there.

If you don't feel like rebooting, hostid seems the simplest way to me.
Just take the last three bytes it gives, and stick 00:00:0f in front.

A few other things:

1. The Mac file handling has a problem with file names that are too long.  
If you have Mac files nested a few folders deep you may find that you  
can't access the files.

2. When you copy a Mac file to a NeXT filesystem using the file viewer,  
you are only copying the data fork. The resource fork will be ignored.

3. If you want to copy or access the Mac resource fork, you must do it  
from the command-line. It appears as a second file and isn't displayed by  
doing a wildcard ls. For a give file named "bob", "bob" is the data fork  
and "bob.#rsrc#" is the resource fork.

I stand corrected. However, I don't believe these things have been 
around that long in silicon, which are the WISC chips that I was refering to.

I just wanted to let people know, I've tried using named pipes under
3.0 and they work!  Yet another reason to upgrade from 2.X.  So, if
memory serves, here's the status of named pipes under the NeXT version
of Mach:

1.0 and earlier -- it works
2.0, 2.1, 2.2 -- causes system panic if you try to use them
3.0 -- it works
