"The ELECTRA Approach to Object Oriented Distributed Programming"

Building reliable distributed software is difficult. 
In this paper we describe abstractions which help the
programmer in developing such software systems by means of object
oriented programming in C++. An object oriented toolkit called ELECTRA
is presented, which provides abstractions for remote method
calling, type secure object group communication, synchronization 
and other facilities. The paper also exemplifies how distributed
software can be developed in ELECTRA using the class library, 
the location-trader and the stub generator that are part of the toolkit.

"Cache Management Algorithms for Flexible Filesystems"

Cache management in flexible filesystems deals with the problem of
determining a cached file to be replaced when the local cachespace is 
exhausted.
In analogy to virtual memory management, several different algorithms exist
for managing cached files. In this paper we simulate the behavior
of First-In-First-Out (FIFO), Least Recently Used (LRU) , Least Frequently 
Used (LFU) and a variation of LFU we call the File Length Algorithm (LEN)
from the viewpoint of file access times, cache hit ratios and availability. 
The results of several simulation runs are presented and interpreted.

As far as I know it DOES NOT! I installed a printer queue "file" whose
filter is a shell script saving everything coming in into a file.

X-Newsreader: NN version 6.4.19 #8

I'm not able to find anything in TFM of Excel about the right scaling of
graphics.

What I wanna do is :

I have two coloumns		1	10
				2	20
				3	30
				4	40
				10	100
				20	200
				...     ...

Going to paint a diagramm Excel takes the first coloumn to be x but uses 
equal space between each x-axis value. Thus the space for 1 - 2 is equal
to the space between 10 - 20 which I would like to see correct according to 
size of x-axis values. 

Any quick hint ?

Thanx / Ralph

Sounds to me like you are generating the wrong sort of graph.
Try an XY (scatter or line) plot instead of a column plot.
Try to read TFM and understand the difference between a
CATEGORY axis and a VALUE axis.
Good Luck.

The company that I work for has wingz installed on
an RS6000 running AIX 3.1.5. I would like to run
wingz on this platform and redirect the output to
my VAXstation running DECwindows on VMS 5.4;
however, when I run wingz I get the following
message:

Starting WINGZ, please wait .....
No Adobe Fonts found; Please contact System Administrator

I would guess that my VAXstation does not have the 
Adobe fonts being used by Wingz. I do have some Adobe
fonts because I use them to define fonts for other
applications that I run this way.

My system administrator has not been very helpful in
finding a solution. He has, however, run wingz from the
RS6000 to a sun workstation and had no problems.

What Adobe fonts is wingz looking for?

I have tried several combinations of the dpix and dpiy
startup options.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would like to write a macro that would go through a multiple of Excel spread

requirement I have is that columns the info is on is consistent but the
row is not.  To change rows I would like to put in some variable inorder
to select the data I need.  That way I could write a macro where I could
input the row I need the data off of then the script would be able to 
open the necessary spreadsheets and gather the data.

Any suggestions or example scripts would be appriciated.

I believe the latest UNIX version DOES allow you to save to a PostScript
file.  ANY Mac or MS Windows version should do, since this ability is
built into these systems for all applications that can print (and use

Yes, you can.

Select your graphic then, in File menu, select Save selection.

You can save in text, EPS or EPSI. EPS is sharper than EPSI because it
is drawn at 300dpi, whereas EPSI is drawn at 72dpi !!. But EPSI
includes a bit image (for preview) of the graphic.

My advice: save in EPS then apply pstoepsi if you want to have a
preview image (useful if you include it into a FrameMaker document).

Both refers to version 1.00. For example the Dialog Box for About Quattro Pro,

This is normal; the buttons on the sheet will move when you move the sheet.
You could kludge a way around this, but it wouldn't be pretty.

Yes, this is a feature.  You can add menus through any script though; I'm
suprised  you could only do it through startup.scz.  However, that's the
only way to get the menus added each and every time you start Wingz, short
of modifying WZScript.  (Modifyijng that script, BTW, isn't recommended,
nor is it supported.)

Any keys already defined will appear in the menus.   Defining Alt keys
could be a problem, though.  It would depend on how the terminal handles
the Alt keys.

If you select these two columns and then select file, new, chart from the
menu you will get a question asking if the first coulumn is catagory labels,
the first data series, or x-axis values.  If you select catagory labels you 
will get the chart you are getting.  If, however you select x-axis values,
you will get an x-y plot and not a line plot.  This will make the distance
between the values on the x- axis relative to their numerical value.

Organization: University of Michigan EECS Dept., Ann Arbor
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1993 15:07:31 GMT

I realize this may be a long-shot, but here goes:

I have a C application for OS/2 v1.3 Presentation Manager that sends data
to Microsoft Excel v3.0 via Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE).  I am able to 
accomplish this 100% of the time when only one copy of Excel is running on
my workstation.

When two or more copies of Excel are running, I want to be able to send data
to a specific instance of Excel.  In the Excel User's Guide, on page 344,
the directions suggest appending a "Task Identification Number" to the
DDE name ("excel") when initiating a conversation with Excel from another
application.

The Excel Function reference guide mentions that the macro "EXEC" will
return this task ID.  However, under OS/2 it only returns a zero.

My questions are:

1)  what is the "Task Identification Number"

    a)  if this number is really the OS/2 process ID, then when I append
        this ID onto "excel" and use this as the DDE name when I initiate
        the conversation, I am not able to establish a connection.

2)  How can I obtain the "Task ID" if it is not the OS/2 process ID

3)  If I can't single out an instance of Excel using these methods, is
    there an alternative method?

Thanks for any input.

Since it appears that everybody else is complaining about Lotus printing, I
thought that I would throw in my own data point.  I have 2.3/WYSIWYG running
in conjunction with a HP Laserjet 3 and have yet to have anything print
correctly the first time; either with or without WYSIWYG, but my main concern
is with.  The margins seem to be ignored no matter what I set them to and
every sheet I print is significantly offset from the one before.  I end up
having to print most things three or four times so I can choose the lesser of
many evils.

If anyone out there has had any positive experience with this combination, I'd
really like to know what incantation is required.  :-)  Thanks a lot.

A recent issue of "New Media" reviewed all level III players on
the market.  Call their subscription dept. at (609)764-1846.
It is free to 'qualified' subscribers, $48/yr for the rest.

In terms of players, Pioneer's LDV-8000 is clearly the best
(and most expensive at $1800) player on the market.  It is the
fastest model available and has lots of nice features, such as
a frame buffer and a video compression chip (in the latest
version).

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to search for patents 
by Telnet or FTP?  I'm interested in USA registrations and 
applications but anything on other countries would also be 
welcome. 

THANKS
