Reality check here--Is it illegal to grow any plant that contains a 
controlled substance?  Or is psilocybin singled out in the law?
I have in mind various mescaline containing cacti, plants that 
contain illegal tryptamines, morning glories (LAA), etc.  Or is
Keith talking through his hat?  Or is it the case that they are
all technically illegal, but you really only get busted for
mushrooms?  Or do they take intent into account?

Any net lawyers out there?

After reading the last few postings, I have some comments.
Whole Earth Review indeed has an exceptional and inspiring
history...I have read just about every issue and have most
of them at home.
However, recent issues are less than inspiring.  I think the
most recent one has a large section on some sort of feminist
or lesbian outlook including several what I consider offensive
pictures (no I am not a prude).
The simple point is:  here we have had this rare group of 
intelligent and inspired individuals ala the 60s who have
provided a great deal of excellent information and conscientious
research esp in the area of living in Harmony with the Planet.
That means non polluting, clean energy, the best tools (in every
years?  Essentially nothing in the way of "living by example".
The few successful communities (listed in the Directory, etc.)
are better than nothing.
But the bottom line is: WER inspired bunch should be able to
build that Eco Village and live in it and show the world it can
be done...before toxic exploitation reaches a point of no return.
The ideas are there, not the lifestyle.

SADIE BROWER NEAKOK:  AN INUPIAQ WOMAN by Margaret B. Blackman. 
University of Washington Press, P.O. Box 50096, Seattle, WA  98145. 
Illustrated (30 black-and-white photographs), index, bibliography,
map, notes.  274 pp., $14.95 paper.   0-295-97180-0


                             REVIEW

     Magistrate of Barrow, Alaska for twenty years, Sadie Brower
Neakok rose from already distinguished beginnings.  Her mother was
an Asianggataq Eskimo and her father was Charles Brower, considered
Barrow's first white settler.
     Blackman, in this paperback reissue of the 1989 edition,
traces Neakok's life from 1916 to the mid-1980s - a life that
encompasses many careers.  She began college "Outside" (a reference
to the lower forty-eight states), but after two years returned to
Barrow as a schoolteacher for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.  
     In the following years she was a health aide, nurse, welfare
and social worker, community activist, and magistrate, as well as
raising thirteen children.  As a magistrate, she performed the
duties of a judge, coroner, justice of the peace (especially in her
own household), and social worker.
     Blackman met Neakok in 1984, at a two-week archaeology and
oral history field school for Barrow High School.  Neakok and Roxy
Ekowana were willing to be interviewed by twelve students about
their lives, contributing their "oral histories."
     After that two weeks, Blackman returned to Barrow several
times to make further recordings, which became the basis for this
book.
     Neakok's life is broken into four periods:  childhood, teen-
age years, early adulthood, and later years.  While this seems to
be unequal (Neakok's most distinguished acts have occurred in the
latter category), there is no feeling of inequality in the
presentation.
     Blackman has produced a fascinating account of growing up in
the Inupiaq culture, in a period of increasing outside influence. 
In her preface, she says that "Sadie's life story addresses the
relative dearth of life history literature on Eskimo women,
particularly contemporary women."  After reading this book, there
will, I assure you, be calls for more.

I believe the Alt-255 trick is a keyboard BIOS thing. When the original
PC came out, you could press Alt and enter any decimal number on the numeric
keypad and generate the BYTE with that value. If you want a space,
you enter Alt-032; uppse case A is Alt-065. (BTW, the values had 
to be 3 digit, I believe)

Anyway.. Alt-255 is just a special case of using the capability
of the kb BIOS to enter character codes arbitrarily.

We wrote a program with a TUI, and had a Ctrl-C handler that did nothing.
We encountered your problem of the ^C on the screen, and our quick and
dirty solution was to redirect stdout in initialization.  Since we did
special screen writes it wasn't a problem.

Extractions do work, so long as the functions in question do mot
make any calls, or have dependancies upon Microsoft specific items
in any of the standard libraries. I have done this too on occasion
with ancillary libraries and it does work some of the time.

Someone else mentioned encrypting the data before saving it out to
disk.  This is a pretty good idea.  Another thing that you might want
to do that is fairly easy is to put at the beginning of the file ascii
text like the following: Only Authorized Personnel may access this
data file.^Z the ^Z would be a ctrl-Z.  You could write a similar
string in the header of your file in binary.  This way if someone
tried to simply TYPE out the file then all they get is your message.
DOS will see the ^Z and stop. You might want to throw in a few or a
LOT of ^G's depending on what your size constraints are and how
annoying you want to be.

No, they can be any length.  The only state the BIOS keeps is the current
value of the digits pressed so far, modulo 256 (i.e. you can enter Alt-4097
and get a Ctrl-A).  If the accumulated value is 0 when the Alt key is
released, the BIOS doesn't put a key into the keyboard buffer.

I am looking for information on using the Com ports for machine to machine
direct connection. Preferably source code in whatever language.

Hopefully I will be writing some assembler routines to offer high level,
very fast (or as fast as possible) functions that can be linked into C.

Does anything like this exist already ? I'm not talking about file transfer 
programms here, but source code that I can incorporate in my own progs.

Thanks
Bruce
