Subject: Differences Between User Levels 1 and 2

Hello, everyone.

The differences between User Levels 0 and 1 are easy to see.  
However, I can't see any difference between running Elm under Level 1 
and running it under Level 2.  Perhaps I'm just too new to the program.
Any help as to the differences between these levels is greatly
appreciated.

Subject: Alias file too big: any fix?
Organization: Computer Science Department, Stanford University
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 20:14:05 GMT

I've got a personal database program, which stores names, addresses,
phone numbers, etc. of various people that I know.  I set it up to
automatically construct an "aliases.text" file from its database.

The problem, as might be anticipated from computer-generated lists, is
that the number of aliases the database program constructs is often too
much for elm to handle.  Running "newalias", to parse & hash the
"aliases.text" file, often gives an error message saying something about
too many aliases.  I can fix this my manually lopping off the end of my
alias file, but that seems such a waste.

Is there any way I set up elm to allow many more aliases (say, 10 times)
than it currently handles?

Thanks,

	-- Don

Subject: Status for messages handled by filter
Organization: Home for the Terminally Infirm
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 1992 00:22:46 GMT

We're using Elm 2.3 PL11 here.  I use filter to sort my mail into
various subdirectories under my login directory.  It works ok except for
one thing:

None of the messages show an "N" status when I go to read them with elm.
I initially thought that filter might be inserting a "Status: RO" line
into them, but it doesn't.  All I can conclude is that elm assumes that
anything not in my primary mailbox must be old, even if I've never read
it, but only had it put elsewhere by filter.

Is there some way to get the message status to show properly for mail
handled by filter?

Hi!

A few days ago I asked how to autoforward using elm.
I got like a dozen respones, I want to thank all of 
you who did, almost all of them suggested the same thing,
that I tried and it is working fine.
The answer then is:

in the .forward file put the following:

\user, user@another.host

The \user takes care of the current machine and no further
aliasing is done due to the \. As someone said, elm is not
the one who supports this rather Unix is.

Thanks again!

Organization: Autodesk Inc., Sausalito CA, USA


	I've been using Mail and now mush for 10 years now, pretty
much the same way: filing things off to individual mail folders, some
of them in subdirs off my ~/text/mail dir...

	Well, I'm getting tired of doing it that way!  It can take
a while to find things with lots of folders.  I suppose I could save
copies of some email to multiple folders, but that doesn't seem
to be a good way of doing things (gee, let's fry disk space!)

	I'm interested in figuring out/finding something that would do this:

	* I save something off with, say, the keywords "X11R5, motif,
	Imake"

	* the actual email goes to ~/text/mail/1992/Dec/11

	* a simple database gets updated, and the entry looks something
	like:

Keywords: X11R5, motif, Imake
File: _MAILHOME/1992/Dec/11
	
	(maybe more fields, maybe less, doesn't matter for the basic point..)

	Ok, so the email is squirreled away chronologically (or by some
	other user-specified arrangement), and there's a simple database
	for looking up things.

	* I would then be able to come along later and do some sort of
	pick/search through the database, such as "give me all of the
	X11R5, motif letters" or "give me all of the Imake letters from
	Libby Hanna".  This seems to fit the natural way this mammal
	likes to find things :-)


	So anyways, this spills into "how to squirrel away news as
well".  Has anyone attempted this?  Perhaps some other mailer that
I've been blissfully ignorant of all this time?  I imagine I could
hack something together in Perl to do this, but thought I would get
a feeler for what people have done, what they think.

Is this an active group?  I just subscribed, and it had only
one message which had already expired.
Anyway, If anybody is reading this group, I am a un*x novice trying
to use mush on a public access unix system where the owner/sysadmin has no
time to help his users.  The mail program is mush, but he doesn't
have the man pages.  Due to a braindead mailer somewhere along the line,
many of my outgoing emails get the name of the host changed to "localhost"
which makes responding somewhat difficult.

Anyway, my question of the moment is:

Is there any way to get mush to automagically insert a "Reply-to:"  line
in the headers?

Also, if someone can point me to the man pages (I don't have ftp access)
I would appreciate it.  DON'T SEND ME A COPY (yet).  I don't want to find
1000 copies in my mailbox.  If you can mail me a copy, just say so.
The first such note I get, I will acknowledge, and then that person only
will mail it to me.

Thanks for listening....

FAULT INTERPRETATION: FINE-GRAIN MONITORING OF PAGE ACCESSES
Daniel R. Edelson
July 1992, revised November 1992, 19 pages (paper copy $5)

Abstract:  This paper presents a technique for obtaining fine-grain
information about page accesses from standard virtual memory hardware and
UNIX operating system software.  This can be used to monitor all user-mode
accesses to specified regions of the address space of a process.
Application code can intervene before and/or after an access occurs,
permitting a wide variety of semantics to be associated with memory pages.
The technique facilitates implementing complex replication or consistency
protocols on transparent distributed shared memory and persistent memory.
The technique can also improve the efficiency of certain generational and
incremental garbage collection algorithms.  This paper presents our
implementation and suggest several others.  Efficiency measurements show
faults to be about three orders of magnitude more expensive than normal
memory accesses, but two orders of magnitude less expensive than page
faults.  Information about how to obtain the code via anonymous ftp
appears at the end of the paper.

This technical report is available electronically through either 
of the following methods:
1.  through anonymous ftp from ftp.cse.ucsc.edu, in /pub/tr. Log in 
    as "anonymous", use your email address as your password, specify

I think you must have the print quality set to draft, or are 
attempting to send the job to a "text printer".  Under destination
in the print menu try sending to a "graphics printer" even if all
you want to print is text (in Qpro's fonts).

I'm only familiar with the standard DOS QPro 4.0 (is there a separate
LAN version?), but this should work:  There is a command line switch
that tells QPro which configuration file to use.  Just create a
separate configuration file that specifies EGA and create a batch file
that loads Qpro with that parameter set.  Call it "EQ.BAT" and tell the
EGA users to type "eq" instead of "q".

I have an Excel 4.0 problem I am hoping someone has a solution to:

I have a database setup where I am extracting data to an extract range
that is unlimited in nature.  Sometimes I extract a few records and
sometimes several hundred.  I want to write a macro that will select
the extracted data (no matter how many records are extracted) and re-
define that area as the print area.

My question is how do I "get" the extract range, so I can select it
and define the print area? Is there functions or macro commands that
will allow me to do this?

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Excel's time format will only handle upto 24 hours before it rolls
around to 00:00:00 again.  Actually it doesn't roll around but adds
1 to the date. If you set the number format to dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss you
will see what I mean.  I have writen a formula that will add up times
in excess of 24 hours.  It does this by converting the hh:mm:ss number
to a decimal number and displaying it as hh.mm.  The formula is quite
large and messy.  I don't have it here right now but if anyone's
interested I'll post it.

HPs only print if there's a full page in the buffer.  To print from
1-2-3 without having to manually eject the paper, use the following
sequence: 
	Align (tells 123 that you're at the top of the paper, rather
		than where the last print job ended)
	Go (sends the printjob)
then 	PAGE (sends a formfeed)
everything should be alright.  

BTW, because of a half-inch top & bottom unprintable zone on HPs, you
should change your page length from 66 to 60.  Set your top & bottom
margins to 0 to compensate.

Hemlock again. Had a question about why my 1-2-3 files were sliding down

I downloaded the virus detector P-PROT 2.06a and ran it. In "Heuristics"

a self-modifying program, which may indicate a self-encrypting virus or
just unusual code." Terrific, but I don't know what that means or what to
do about it. Can anyone translate this for me please? Does this sound like
it could have been creating the printing problem? And what can/should I do
