I've seen a couple of postings lately, suggesting that people have had
trouble getting the current versions of gcc and libg++ for NeXT, and I
just wanted to note that the versions presently on prep.ai.mit.edu
(and various shadow archive sites) build virtually without problem
under NS3.0. There is one NeXT include file that has a //-style
comment where only /* */ style is acceptable; solutions to that were
discussed a couple of weeks ago. Once you fix that one relatively
trivial problem, building gcc-2.3.2 goes without a hitch.  Just do
"configure next" in the main directory, and go through the steps in
the INSTALL file (you can even cut and paste the commands).  Once you
have gcc-2.3.2, building libg++ is exactly the same thing: "configure
next" and then make, and everything chugs along without a problem.
It's nice that the GNU configuration utilities are getting to be
pretty good at figuring out where NeXT decided to put things in 3.0.

Someone showed me the demo of t2 (Terminator Two) on Indigo, using program
"player".

I'm wondering if there's any equivalent program on NeXT that can
play sound and image simutaneously.  Movie only do half of it.

Thanx in advance.

I'm having a problem with the Novell client.  We have about 8 servers on our  
campus backbone but I can't see most of them.  All the newer servers have some  
name followed by -NOV311 like "MUB-NOV311".  My machine can't see any of these.   
Is there some problem with the -NOV311 suffix?  I don't have a netinfo filter  
set up - I should be seeing any server out there.

Any help would be appreciated.  I've looked at the documentation and everything  
seems to be in order.

I have just encoutered a strange problem with NewsGrazer. It is not reading my  
whole .newsrc file; it seems to be skipping comp.sys.next.sysadmin and  
comp.sys.next.announce. 

I started to wonder when I didn't see any articles in these groups for a couple  
of days, so I started to poke around. I read news via nntp to a local server,  
but it's not a problem on their end (I checked with a friend that uses it as a  
dial-up news reader with rn and he gets them no problem). So is there any way  
that I can force NewsGrazer to read these groups? I don't want to miss anything  
good or heaven forbid anything useful :)

Thanks for you time,

Dean

Not a seriuos problem, but somewhat annoying:

You should consider buying WriteNow from Appsoft. It costs $99 and you get  
a free upgrade to WN 3.0 whenever it ships. WN 2.1 doesn't have all the  
features (or bugs) that WP does, but 3.0 should be feature comparable to  
WP.

The naming problem is a netinfo thing.  Even though netinfo probably isn't running on the  
SLIP client machine, somebody still uses the netinfo database for net name and address  
lookup.  Just add all the appropriate names and net addresses to the netinfo hosts  
database.

We've been playing with the routing problem for awhile now, and almost have it covered.   
We finally ended up with static routing from each subnet back to the SLIP server.  For  
specifics, I'll need to pass this on to the gurus.

There is hope.  I can now set up a SLIP connection from my home, and NFS mount remote  
file systems (that are subnets) on my machine.

Hi,

In WordPerfect for the NeXT: Have a multi-column document and wants
to insert a numbered footnote. In a ducoment without columns this is
very easy with (menu) Format - Footnote - New. But the "New" choise
is not selectable it seems when you have multiple columns. Why? Is this
a feature/bug? Anyway I need footnotes on a multi-column document.
Do any one know how to do this? 

I'm suspecting this is very simple and stupid me is overlooking some-

Hello,

I've been trying desperately to get NewsGrazer to work via an NNTP connection
over SLIP.  I've tested the connection out using GNUS in GNU Emacs, which
works fine.  Here's what happens:  I launch NewsGrazer, which immediately
says "Locating Active Newsgroups..." at the top of its main window.  The
mouse pointer starts spinning, and the main menu has not yet popped up in the
upper left corner of the screen since the application has not gotten that far.

I can do a 'netstat' and see that NewsGrazer has established an NNTP connection
to the appropriate server, but after the exact same time it takes for GNUS
to read in the active file, NewsGrazer quits.  [Further evidence that
NG is actually doing something:  'alt.something is already in the active file'
or a similar message appears in the console window just as NG quits.]

I thought this might be a permissions-related problem--maybe NG can't write
to a certain file, etc.--but I ran it as root with the same effect.

Does anyone have a working setup for NewsGrazer under release 2.1?

Thanks,

Eric

P.S.  I'm also having a bit of trouble posting--I can't tell if this is really
going out.  Can someone mail me a confirmation if you see this before Sunday?

CIC is pretty wild.  It's not like Photoshop or Image.  It's more like
a real high-end system like a Crosfield or Scitex in a way.  You can
do things to a low-res version of your image and then have CIC
"intelligently" apply those things to the big image overnight or
whenever.

I understand that to be able to remote-play soundfiles, the current preference  
manager has to have "public sound server" enabled (see the unix submenu in the  
preference app). If nobody's logged, then it's the root preferences that  
counts: login as root on the machine you want to play and check "public sound  
server" in the preference app.
But if someone is logged that doesn't allow public sound server, then you're  
stuck!

I called Right Brain and checked on "Miniscribe".  As far as I can tell, It 
will not produce music notation adaquately for any stylistic genre past the 
Baroque era 1600-1750 etc.  In other words, if your into neumes and ligatures
or other forms of musical expression from the Middle Ages to the Baroque then
your in great shape but if you need to add dynamic markings taken from lets say
a Bartok Violin Concerto, forget it.  Still, I am curious as to its flexibility.

Incidently, "Score" is no longer being distributed by Passport and the gentlemanwho wrote it probably still teaches at Stanford.  Maybe someone could convince
him to port it over.  It was a heck of a notation program even though it ran

While the performance of the PA architecture is obviously desirable, I'd
like to check out the cost of complete systems from HP.  Many of the
advertised prices from HP are for diskless boxes with minimal RAM and the
low-end has very little internal expansion.

Does anyone have any list prices of HP systems that are fully configured?

If PA is in the plans for NeXT, I hope either HP or NeXT builds a box
specifically for NS or one without any HP proprietary gotchyas.  We have
been working with the HP 9000 800 series for the last few weeks and HP has
quite a bit to learn about putting a decent OS on what is really some 
wonderful hardware.  Also, the 700's and 800's are not binary compatible
due most probably to the multiprocessor architecture of the 800.
