Two things to check:

	First, ensure that your host is configured in "standalong
mode" in the SimpleNetworkStarter application so its not trying to
find a parent netinfo domain server.

	Second, check to see if you have an /etc/resolv.conf set up;
it may be that a program that's invoked when you log in is attempting
a DNS query to a server on the other end of the SLIP link.

Well, besides regular use (instant definitions when writing papers,
using the TIFFs, etc), I've done a couple neat things with the "Search
by other word" option to search the entire text of Webster:

     search for "mammal" to pull up tons of pics of animals

     search for "vulgar" to pull up all words "usu. considered vulgar"
         (shit, crap, etc.)--imagine how much fun 5th graders could
         have...

	And NeXTSTEP ported to those machines that are already on  
scientists desktops.  Suns, especially.
	If NeXTSTEP itself was developed on Sun3's before the first NeXT  
prototypes (as one source has told me), then this is not a giant leap.  Or even a small one.  But I'm sure the guys at NeXT are all way ahead of us already on this score.  They're no bozo's.

	Software, hardware--yes.  The jury's still out on the others.  And THAT is the problem here.

I'm using NewsGrazer 72.0. While I can change the width of the post window, it  
doesn't seem to affect the width of quoted sections in followups. A number of

In preferences, on the post panel, set post window line width to  
something smallish, like 60-70.  That should do it.  Changing the  
window width only changes the display at your end.

We all know the federal government does not want there to be any encrytion  
that it cannot break because it would make law enforcement much more  
difficult:  Warrents are useless if you don't have the keys... etc.

Rumor has it that NeXT didn't want to be the ones to fight the federal  
government on this one in the courts.  NeXT is not THAT secure.  It's not  
a question of right and wrong:  It's a question of Might makes Right.   
This is ONLY a rumor, but what else explains the facts?

Maybe RSN when NeXTSTEP gets is the dominant windowing system (In my  
dreams and NeXT's at least), they'll take on the mighty ones, but I  
imagine it'll be the FSF or a similar organiziation that takes on this  
challenge:  With the FSF instead of NeXT, it would clearly be a case of  
Free Speach -v- Censorship rather than Company -v- Regulation, and the  
government would have much less of a chance to win.

I have seen this a couple of times now so I will post rather
than email. You can use GNU tar and say

to show the content (verbose)
% tar -vtf foo.tar
% tar -zvtf foo.tar.Z 

to unpack
% tar -xf foo.tar
% tar -zxf foo.tar.Z 

On NeXTstep3.0, GNU tar 1.10 does come with the system as
/usr/bin/gnutar so you don't have to install it.
Latest version I know of is 1.11.1 which compiles fine on NeXTs.
I don't mean to flame or anything but this may save you some
effort.

Another feature I like is that you can do remote tars
using GNU tar, which we use (since we don't have tape
drives hooked up to the NeXTs.)

That's because you're running the 3.0-compatible version of MetroTools

George - are you running either Engage! or an older version of MetroTools?  
or autolaunching something else that would ask for Workspace for file  
icons or info?

If you're running MetroTools we have an upgrade that fixes that problem  
and has a lot of other fixes/enhancements.

If you're running something else, NeXT had released a workaround.

Sorry for that question, but I didn't find an answer

where else to ask:

Can anybody please explain what NeXTSTEP is in terms of software hierarchy.
Is it an O/S, a GUI or something inbetween? I'm asking because I want
to know what NS486 would mean for a PC: Certainly a new O/S. But
_is_ NS486 the new O/S or is it just a GUI on the top of a new (WHICH?)
O/S?
The answer is probably not worth posting here, so just e-mail me, please,
or give me some hint where I can find an answer.
Thanks!

Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 18:42:12 GMT

I have been trying to use my address book to set up a fax group, however, there  
must be an easier way than creating all individual entries in my address boook,  
then creating a group, then adding all the defined entries into the group.   
This reminds me of the Mac system 7 Users&Groups control panel.

What I desire would be the following:
1)	Having some names only in a group, and not at any other level of my  
adress book.
2)	A field to schedule some faxes - possibly based on country codes (say  
to send to the far east at low utilization/cost times).

3)	Being able to define/manage mail groups from within the address book.
	Handle addressing to multiple persons within a department via e-mail.

This can be handled in 3 ways:
Multiplexing a single phone line into n "virtual" phone numbers.
Group 4 named recepient faxes.
OCR of incoming TIFFs/FAXes, comparison to department list for phone or name,  
and then mailing to expected recepient.

  I know I can do 1 and 2, but how...ie, best and most efficient method.  I  
look forward to responses about 3.

There have been several more requests lately for "N-up"
PostScript filters, so I've (re)deposited "quarto" to
pub/next/submissions on sonata.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu.
This probably isn't as fancy as the psutils, but it is
probably simpler to use.  The README file:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"quarto" is a filter that takes EPS PostScript files and:

    lists pages:   quarto -l file.ps
    reorder pages: quarto -p1,2,6-8 ...      select pages
                   quarto -p odd ...         print odd-numbered pages
                   quarto -r -p odd...         . . .   in reverse order        
    prints n-up:   quarto -2 ... | lpr       2 mini pages per sheet
                                             (N=2,3,4,6,8,9)
    signatures:    quarto -2 -S 8 ...        page order appropriate for 
                                             books of 8-sheet signatures

Someone had placed an older version on the archives.
This one fixes a bug involving nested PostScript documents,
and includes an option for printing books in signatures.
