  The `#' character is the comment introducer in make. Everything

order to make it work (i.e. write foobar:\#?.o instead). All other
makes I know of work like this, so it's nothing smake/lmk specific.

Yes and no... the preprocessor loads all files into memory, and does the
macro expansion stuff. Then the resulting file is piped/fed into the main
compiler. You're going to have problems tokenizing at the point of 
preprocessing, the proprocessor isn't supposed to do such things...

Hi Brian,

The ftp site for the X-Specs stuff is zug.csmil.umich.edu.  There are demo
images, games and program library modules (I think).  There is also an X-Specs
mailing list which you can probably grab from the files at umich.

  Then what about the library bases that are cached in just about every
library in existence? I think very few libraries actually open every 
library they depend on for every OpenLibrary call they receive.

  The only library that needs to be opened in this way that I know of is
one of the math libraries (cannot recall which one however).

Add these bugs to the list...

o cprx & cprk don't recognize the -speed or -port options at all.

o %c in scmsg's AREXX command string format (sent to editor AREXX port)  
doesn't insert the error column, rather it inserts the error CLASS.  The
  manual states error column.

o scompact will only compact files ending with .h

That's all I can remember from my recent experience with it.  Believe me, it's
taken a long time to convert my current huge project over to 6.0 compatability.
 I do, however feel that it was worth the time spent.  Everything compiles much
faster now that I'm using the gst's and such (and thank goodness for the shared
library compiler executables!).  Finally, Turbotext is better integrated into a
development cycle!

I have to put my vote in for DLG ([singing] "Because I own it" [not

   I have fixed v1.111 and included it with `term' v2.3. The changes
were minimal, but text upload finally works now. Stephen Walton, who currently
maintains xprkermit.library has been notified, so I suppose that the patch
will be included in the next `official' release.

This is a known problem with certain disk controllers.  There's a
patch program out there somewhere which causes the disk driver to
transfer stuff in smaller blocks whenever serial IO is going on.  I
think the patch comes from GVP?  The only place where I know it is
located is Jay Miner's BBS, "The Mission", at 415-967-2021 ... he's

Why does every C-Net BBS I call have 981-4113 on the login message? Isn't that 
kinda rude of the author to spread his own number?

This is the number we got on our AT&T detailed billing, plus a surprise 
number, kinda like finding a golden ring in a box of cracker jack.

We wouldn't do anything rude to this guy's family, like listing their number 
on the net, even though it did call us a few times.

Date: 5 Oct 92 10:21:00 EDT
Distribution: comp
Organization: Cornell University

I'm also looking to see about reading news offline.
I use SLIP and can use NNTP to connect to the school's
newsserver. So, what next.  I.E. when I tell NOS to "kick"
it supposedly "gets" all the news articles of the groups I've
specified with "NNTP groups xxx"  Now what do I do with them,
or what can I read them with.

As well, would it not be more efficient to have a newsreader that
connects to the newsserver on its own (let's say NOS is running in the
background so the SLIP connection is configured and setup). It fetches
the group names, and then when you choose a group name it fetches the article
headers, and then when you select an article it fetches the article.
THis is how the newsreaders I've used on the MAC work (like TheNews), and it
seems more efficient than just plopping everything at once and having to wait
all that time.  Is there anything like this, and/or anyone want to write this
for the Amiga?  Nonethelss, my original question still stands...

I used archie, but I'm not sure where I can grab the latest version of DNet,

part on the Amiga side.  Is there a split archive with the 2 parts seperate
(so I don't have to dl and the ul the Unix side)?  Also, is there someone out

What would be the best, is if someone configured it all for me, and then sent
that archive to me...not sure how possible this may be though.  Please let me

I don't know but I have gotten about 3-5 different versions of DNET from
FTP and I have not been able to get them to work.  I am trying to connect
my Amiga 2000 to a Vax/Ultrix but it will not work.  I have a dnet.config
file from when I used to use D-Net to connect two amigas together YEARS ago,
I have never gotten DNET to work amiga-unix.  I dial with the first program
but that wont work because it doesn't interpret what I type correctly.  it
Seems to understand what I am typing becuase it echos what I try correctly
but then I get an error, so I connect with the UNIX using JR-COMM
then I log in and run dnet on the unix.  I then exit JRCOMM
and run the DNET. It starts the first terminal and exits it, then it says
starting dnet.  It hangs there forever.  ANy siggestions?

Thanks

When I looked briefly at AmigaNOS, I got the impression that you were stuck
with a text-only interface.  I may be wrong about this, can someone tell me
for sure?  Since I do a lot of graphics in my work, I use VLT/DNet (through
dnet.device) to give me multi-sessioning and Tek graphics too.  My only
real problem with it is that I get kicked off every few hours for no
apparent reason -- but this may have nothing to do with DNet.

No foolin'!  :-)

For most purposes, IRIX can be considered "System V".

Dnet was developed by Matt for use with the systems he uses (used?) at
Berkeley, so SysV compatibilty wasn't an issue (then).

Though I personally have no interest in getting Dnet to run under IRIX, two
things may be helpful to you in an attempt getting it to function:

1) use "-cckr" as one (of many?) compilation switches if you're using the
   stock C compiler.  I brought up gcc-2.2.2 awhile back and nearly all
   the vagaries disappeared

2) get a copy of "Using C on the UNIX System", O'Reilly & Associates,
   ISBN 0-937175-23-4.  My copy is dated 1990, but there may be a more
   recent edition.  This book will help resolve system-dependencies, esp.
   when porting from BSD-like systems to SysV-like systems.

Good luck!
