Does anyone know what would cause the following message:
 panic:(Cpu 0) No more room in kernel map
     going down on signal 15

This has happened twice in the last two days, both times when asking
for something to be printed (from two different applications).  I'm
running NS 3.0.

For those who asked about the cable: the quickest (and
cheaper-than-NeXT) way to get it was from the NeXTConnection:
($15 + $3 shipping overnight).  Having the cable does not guarantee
that you get your CD-Rom-Drive from NeXT, though ;-).

The zip implementation on NeXT is faster than the lha is, but
the lha version of S. Boberg for Amiga is faster than all
other archivers. My A3000 (68030 @ 25 MHz) with Boberg's lha
beats my Station (68040 @ 25 MHz).

In general lha offers better compression than zip. Best
compression is offered by Squash.

Good idea. lha is as portable as zip. I would like to use Squash,
but it is only available for NeXTs ...

Our tech support has worked with many people that have

shell scripts.

Opener (or unsit which it invokes) will deal with StuffIt
files. MetroTools works directly with uncompressed
MacBinary downloads (of which there are quite a few).
Between the two, there are hundreds of tyepfaces
available for use without having access to a Mac. 

We have a lot of customers though that are migrating from
Macs to NeXTs, and already have uncompressed font
libraries on Mac disk volumes of one sort or another. For
them, MetroTools is the fastest, cheapest alternative.

If the comparison is purchasing Meta Pro and doing it on a
Mac, then dealing with the rest by hand, you're not saving
any money over MetroTools. Don't get me wrong - Meta Pro is
a great product that does things MetroTools can't. It
isn't a less expensive alternative though. And with
MetroTools you get all those other nifty tools... :-)

Whilst mucking around with installing DNS stuff, I have somehow managed to lose the
ability to render on my NSC machine.  I was able to do it when I first installed 3.0, but
i've had to customise it so much that I can't remember what was changed and where.

When I try to render anything to localhost, I get a popup window that complains that it
"Couldn't connect to localhost" and then dies.

Can someone with 3.0 and working rendering, please tell me what I should have aliased in
/etc/hosts, or in netinfo, or wherever, or what should be running, and so on!

Thank you!

    NeXT doesn't properly support multithreading and they say so... I'm
    talking about NeXTStep here, not mach.  Objective-C call overhead
    tripples and many NS subsystems are not thread-safe.  Furthermore,
    NeXTStep itself does not support threads well... take distributed
    objects, for example. It's nearly impossible to move a distributed
    object *entirely* into its own thread.  The most obvious application I
    can think of and NeXT doesn't support it properly.  (The few examples
    they have in that area either do not work or do not move the object
    entirely to its own independant thread).

    Until this stuff becomes standard instead of optional, it isn't going
    to happen.

The main features are Windows and VGA graphics, I don't know about Novell,

There sure is: use the tools that NeXTstep 3.0 has given
unto us!  Navigate in the browser, grab that final
directory icon and drag that sucker into your eagerly
awaiting terminal window.  God, I love that feature - it's
great enough to upgrade for it alone!

If there is anybody who subscribes to BIX or CompuServe, I need a file
from either of their archives.  I wrote a tip replacement program a
few years ago, in Objective-C for the NeXT computer.  I uploaded two
versions to BIX, and I remember hearing that someone else uploaded it
to CompuServe.

The program was called tip3, but the file on BIX was called nextip or

Anyway, if anyone can get it for me, I would be most appreciative.

For MicroPhone Pro users, we have an app that will send a fax from MicroPhone

In my never-ending quest for total bankruptcy through leading edge computer

Okay, so performance on the display won't be awesome (if the WINMARK numbers of  
PC Rag-azine are to be believed), and the screen in kinda small. Don't even  
talk about those silly little clip-on mice/built in trackballs - I get hand

Disk space.

Try to buy a portable with more than about 120M. (486's are pretty afordable,  
surprisingly enough.)

How do those poor benighted DOS weenies live with this situation when they want  
a development machine to take on the road?

Stacker doubles their disk size.

Attention NeXT: put optional compression in the operating system somewhere.  
That way I could squeeze a development machine on a 120M (240 w/ compression)  
hard-disk.  Also consider allowing a "portable" installation of the bare bones  
development box. (No shakespeare,  no uucp, no netinfo....)

What is the purpose of the .playscore format?  I had figured this would be  
because of the "size", but look:

-rw-rw-r--  1 fermat     43777 Dec 25 18:44 Invention-12.playscore
-rw-rw-r--  1 fermat      4669 Dec 25 18:43 Invention-12.playscore.Z
-rw-rw-r--  1 fermat     61222 Dec 25 18:43 Invention-12.score
-rw-rw-r--  1 fermat      7243 Dec 25 18:42 Invention-12.score.Z

Sure, it is smaller than the .score file, but look at how nice a job  
"compress" does with it?  (lha and zip do an even better job)  The  
compressed .score file is much much smaller than the .playscore file.  The  
time it takes playscore to read in either the .score or .playscore files  
seems very nearly the same.  So I can't believe it is to speed things up.

Anyone know?  Why not just compress them, and pipe through zcat when you  
want to read it?
