May H.S.E. also stand for Hic Sita/us Est?  Is the inscription on a tomb or hea

In Constitution of Liberty, Chicago, 1960 F. A. Hayek makes
the point that powder blue was an 18th century Whig color.
The color of the George Washington's troop uniforms and the
cover of the Edinburgh Review in the 19th c are, according to
Hayek, from a common source.

Those of you on the net who know Hayek only as the great
enemy of socialist economics, might look at his edition
of the letters between J S Mill and Harriet Taylor or
his various discussions of Bernard Mandeville and the
Scots.

Small project in a classroom in Uruguay.

Dear friends and colleagues,

I recently talked with 2 kids, Carolina 9 and Florencio 11, in
Montevideo and we came to the idea that they would be delighted to
build a small project in their classroom.  I agreed that I would ask
friends and colleagues around the world to mail Carolina and Florencio
a postcard from the area where they live.  They will pinpoint the
origin of postcards on a map of the world and talk with their teachers
about countries and places.

So would you find 5 minutes and a few cents/pesos/schillings etc. and
mail a postcard (preferably in an envelope, mail is not really perfect
in Uruguay) to Carolina and Florencio?  This would make 2 kids and
their classrooms happy and help them know the world a little better.
If you wish to write a few words, they speak Spanish, some French and
they can be helped with English.

Their address:
Carolina y Florencio Ares Pavan
Villa de Masnou 4793
11500 Montevideo, Uruguay

Thanks.  Forgive me for using some bandwidth for this.

"I have seen an US Armed Forces inflatable transparent plastic (a
sphere of around 1 m diameter) which produce fresh water for
drinking, from seawater, with the help of solar radiation. I am

Subject:      VM Install problem

I am trying to install the VM Netnews package from Penn State and am
having a problem that hopefully someone will recognize.  We are new to the
Internet and have had a bunch of stuff all thrown at us at once (gophers,
WAIS, archies, etc).  Compounding this, I am a VSE system programmer (not VM)
and have tried to volunteer on some projects just to help some overworked
staffers - I'm not really a network type (yet).

Anyway, now that I've established my lack of credentials, on to the problem.
We are trying to get a moderated nets list (AMERICAST.*) and are just today
have started getting their feed.  The information is being received by the
NNTPRCVR server as they appear on the 191 disk as NNTPRCVR B1 (B2, B3, etc).
However I am not getting them over to the NEWNEWS server disk.  The CONFIG
file is set up to hold them on the 100 minidisk.  The ADDGROUP command has
been successfully executed for all the Groups.

When I execute NETNEWS, I get a list of all the Groups that have been set up
and it shows zero as the number of articles.  There seems to be at least nine
transmissions currently accepted by the receiver.  I also made sure the
NETNEWS server CONFIG file had the "Servers   NNTPRCVR" entry.  I also got
the last years worth of archive looking for anything that would pertain to
this problem (but unsuccessfully).

Does any VM site person out there have some suggestions?  I'm sure I have
done, or possibly haven't done and should, something in the setup/config.
We have a limited time to review the Americast feed so I'm hitting the list
sooner than I ordinarily would.   Thanks for any help.

By the by, if anyone can send me a general writeup on Netnews (VM in parti-
cular), or can tell me where one can be found, I would appreciate that. I'm
not sure if I grasp all the concepts yet.

First, two comments:
(1) I haven't run VM Netnews for at least a year, but my memory on this
    stuff is still pretty good.
(2) I was contracted by A.C.C. to install their news software, so I have
    a pretty good idea of what they are sending you (if Lou mentioned a
    'Doug', that's me).

Having thus disclaimed that, here's my thoughts:

There are several parameters in the NNTPRCVR CONFIG file.  One of them
is the exec to execute to send the articles from NNTPRCVR over to NETNEWS.

If you watch the console log from NNTPRCVR, you should get some clues as
to what is happening:

- is NNTPRCVR trying to execute an exec that doesn't exist ?  If so, get
  the exec from LISTSERV@QUCDN.  Also, make sure it's spelled correctly
  and the line wasn't deleted from the config-file.

- is there an error in the exec itself ?  It should run just as well by
  hand as it would from NNTPRCVR MODULE.  A '#CP EXT' will cleanly stop
  NNTPRCVR.

- Are there spooling errors - no punch defined in the VM directory, spool
  full, NETNEWS is actually a different userid like R601NEWS that's wrong
  in the exec, etc ?

This should be a start.  If the batches are still on the NNTPRCVR disk then
the problem is on the NNTPRCVR end, not the NETNEWS end, because all NNTPRCVR
does is check the message-id files on NETNEWS disks and dump received articles
in NETNEWS' reader.

: By the by, if anyone can send me a general writeup on Netnews (VM in parti-
: cular), or can tell me where one can be found, I would appreciate that. I'm
: not sure if I grasp all the concepts yet.

Some of this is explained in the user and admin docs provided with PSU
Netnews, and the NNTP RFC (977) available from LISTSERV@QUCDN.  The general
netnews RFC is RFC 1036, available via ftp from several sites.  This RFC
makes reference to others, including RFC 822, which I don't remember right
off-hand.

Subject:      Re: VM Install problem

Hello,

A possible pointer to where the problems lies can maybe be found in the
console log of the NETNEWS server which gets sent to the userid defined in
the CONSOLE entry in the NETNEWS CONFIG file.  I assume that will be your
account.

If you get this file in XEDIT, you may want to search for the AMERICAST
string.  Messages like 'Article not added to group americast...' or thelike
are the things you are looking for.

Possible reasons include: - expiration 0 for those groups;
                          - badly formed headers for the articles;
                          - etc...

The console log should give you a pretty good lead, I think.

Regards, and good luck,

Kris.

Subject:      New Persistent Netnews Abend

For the past three mornings I've come in and found my Netnews server
dead with the following abend-

NETNEWS ABEND **ABEND** 3182 VLIB file (listed in NETNEWS GROUPS) is missing.,
rc=31

The group numbers have been different, but the results have always been the
same. All of the groups have been from the "alt." hierarchy.
To solve the problem, I've just deleted the group from the NETNEWS
GROUPS file and erased the appropriate GROUP file.

My question(s)-
   1) why has this just started happening?
   2) what's happening to the GROUP file - aren't the control messages
      getting through?
   3) why is this problem significant enough to bring down the server?
      (especially since the groups involved are basically "noise")

Thanks in advance for help and suggestions.

Subject:      ill-posed general linear equation system, inverse problem

Dear Madame and Sir, Hello netters!

I have to solve a ill-posed GENERAL linear equation system
out of an inverse analysis with Boundary Element Method (BEM).
The order of the matrix varies from 100 to 200. The condition
number ranges from 0.10000000D+20 to 0.10000000D+30. All
computations must take place in quadruple precision on
IBM3090 machine and the solutions are (numerical) exact
enough. Computations in double precision have no results.

I have tried different GAUSS-methods (partial or complete pivoting,
modified method according to residuals, LINPACK, NAPACK, LAPACK) and
used the driver DGESVX of LAPACK version 1.0b to equalibrate the
matrix. Newly we have used HOUSEHOLDER-TRANSFORMATION too. All these
help hardly, because we would like to solve the system with double
precision, not with quadruple precision, in order to transfer our
theory into praxis.

It is difficult for an engineer to start with regularization and/or
singular value decomposition (SVD) of an ill-conditioned system.

Therefore I wish to find PROGRAMS for the ill-posed GENERAL linear
equation system. I hope to get some tips, algorithms, programs or
related informations from You Experts on the list.

Any further helps are very appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Yours sincerely

ken over by a religious right-wing organization refused to fund the LGAU based
on controversiality. The suit was ruled moot after the student government rea
lized that they were in the wrong, removed the controversialty clause
from the by-laws, and funded LGAU. Please feel free to contact me via E-mail
