Well, by default tftpd runs under the 'nobody' userid.  If you're running
 tftpd,you need 'nobody' or you have to set up some comparable userid and
 reconfigure
tftpd to run under the new userid.

Subject:      aix-problems

Hello,
during development of an AIX application we had two serious problems.
1. The application runs on its own HFT-Terminal and we want to turn off
   the AUTONL Mode, which is set by default when opening a new terminal.
   We want the cursor to not wrap around at presentation space boundary
   but all efforts to manage this problem by writing 'hfprotocol-structures'
   failed. Who knows a solution?
2. Using the 'gsinit_()' Routine of AIX-GSL-Library it returns with
   error-code "cannot access default font".
   What's wrong along?
   Please help us. THANKS.
                          Johannes.

Yes, the /local filesystem must be exported and separately mounted by
each client.  The symbolic link you have made will then work if the
client mount point is /local.

You are right!
For non-ASCII systems an alternative way of writing
some symbols is privided, called tri-graphs.

  ??=  meaning  #
  ??)           ]  right sq bracket
  ??(           [  left  sq bracket
  ??/             backslash
  ??< and ??>      curly brackets
  ??!           |  vert. bar
  ??'              circonflex (caret)
  ??-           ~  tilde

Of course it takes some more typing, but it is a solution.

Hi, everybody!
Unfortunately, the keyboard in what I am typing doesn't have the so common
square brackets employed in vectors, for example. I was suggested to use an
equivalent set of characters, but I'm not sure that's the best thing to do.
Instead of the square brackets, I should use ??( and ??). For example, if
I want to create a vector of floats with 5 elements I need to write the
following source code :
      float vector??(5??);
I'd appreciate any hint in this subject, since the presented solution makes
my code almost impossible to read.

    Unfortunately, that's exactly what you have to do, unless you find
the EBCDIC characters which replace the brackets in you terminal character
set. For example, in my keyboard, it is legal for me to put a ] (I don't
know how this character will appear in your computers, in mine, it appears
as a 'n' with a ~ on its top) instead of the right bracket, but I don't
have in my keyboard the character that replaces the left bracket. Anyway,
it would be less legible than using the ??( and ??). I'd recommend you
to use this ones separated by a space like this:
   float vector ??( 5 ??);
   vector ??( i++ ??) = a*b;
   ... and so on ...

   Well, this is just a matter of preferences... I wish you good luck.

Currently our company has a situation that many companies have.  Our IS
department has a few C programmers, and a lot of COBOL programmers.  As
we downsize from a MVS shop to a Unix / OS400 / MS-Windows / OS2
environment, I have been teaching C programming to some of the more
eager members of our department.  Lately management has expressed
concern that the less eager members of the department will be VERY
expensive to train.

Does anyone here have experience in corporations where this type of
transition has been attempted, or can anyone point me to somewhere I
can read some case studies on the subject?

DESQview runs multiple copies of DOS with no trouble at all.  I have no
real complaints about DV except for the battle between tn3270 and QEMM.
(When I talk about DV, I'm talking about DV386, which includes QEMM.)
I load DV as part of my autoexec.bat and have a DV script which automatically
opens BIGDOS, WORDPERFECT, and PCPLUS.  There is never a time (on this --
my home computer) that I don't have those three programs running.  If I
want to open more applications, I do it either through DV or through
DOS.  No problems at all so far.  One thing I like about DV is that,
unlike Windows, there's none of this stuff about having to buy special
versions of programs.  Wordperfect is simply Wordperfect, for example --
the same WP I would use outside of DV.

>  If you want multi tasking on your PC

That's something I still haven't ruled out as a possiblity down the road.
Although I like being compatible with most of the rest of the world -- or
at least the part of the world I associate with most often, I find the idea
of switching from MS-DOS to Unix appealing.  Of course I could have all
three worlds represented if I bought a Mac: Unix on Ra, MS-DOS at office,
and Mac at home.  But Macs cost too much, I hate mice and icons, and I
almost never have need of anything Mac-compatible since I know very few
Mac-users.  That reminds me of something funny.  The day I was fighting
with the nasty Mac in the public lab (a lab that has Macs, Suns, and PCs),
a professor of CS walked in and I said, "HELP!  I don't know how to do
anything on this stupid machine!"  He said, "Don't ask me.  I don't know
anything about Macs."  I then said, "I've sent e-mail to Frank Peters
for help."  He said, "Frank wouldn't know anything about Macs!"  He looked
startled when I told him that Frank's home computer was a Big Mac.

> And you probably won't find a Frank-Peters-of-the-OS/2-world to help

I think I've said before that I can sometimes trick Frank into answering
DOS questions even though he claims to know little about it.  Bet he could
answer OS/2 questions even if he's never seen OS/2.

Of course I'm serious.  I keep looking out my window to see people from the
CC laying the fiber-optic cable to my house...

God. How Many people were on at that time? I just want to estimate
the magnitude of the damage, that's all.

The address is what IRC says it is. Why should there be a doubt?

And finally, a heartwarmingly original question which may well go
down in the annals as an all time great : Why me?

	Having spend six years traveling between Austin and San Antonio on
Interstate 35 I have seen lots of grass on the Interstate. It is
especially pretty in the spring when the wildflowers, particularly
bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushs, are in full bloom. My favorite
interstate grassy area is south of Kerrville, Texas on Interstate 10. The
highway cuts through the hills and native grasses and wildflowers are
almost alway in bloom, even when we have been a drought condition.

I have no description of the rainy Windy City. Jeez.

Charles and Richie, I guess, are brothers of David and John.

The most trivially flooded street in Bombay licks 59th St anytime.

In which case, I can recommend zestril 500 mg daily for your blood
pressure.  But I can't prescribe it.  mem

Comments: To: All fellow wordslers <words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu>

This mornings mail at Box 7606 Boise 83707 contained a package from Japan!
Akio had sent a tape of songs from Mi-Ke, the three young ladies he had
previously sent a postcard of, asking which was "my cup of tea".  I said that
all of them looked ok to me....but indicated my preference.

I will have to find him some MORE "tacky" postcards.  Does 'tacky' mean
a euphemism for 'naked' or 'risque' to you Akio?
