You may want to contact various other campus organizations that would be
interested in providing assistance or help to organize this event with you.
Some that come to mind are:
                -campus environmental groups
                -people of color organizations
                -college democrates

        OR
                -National Wildlife Federation
                -Campus Green Vote

I am currently the Midwest Campus/Community Organizer of the Endangered
Species Program and I have many student contacts throughout OH, PA, MI,
IN, IL, WI, MN, ND, SD, KY, and IA that would be interested in helping with
similar actions.  Please e-mail or give me a call for further information.

      Sorry if this is widely known already, but can anyone direct me to

But I'm after something that was designed for people who actually need

Hi dear Netters !

How can I install the sybase server ?

We would like to use all the nive DBkit demo programs provided with NS3.0, but
 each time we are stuck because of the password for the Sybase database.

Did we miss something ?

Thanks,

folks:

k, emergency over.  thanks to Salavtore Saieva, I got my machine back up,
although for reference, rebooting into single user takes bsd(0,0,0) -s, not
just b -s which I tried a million times.  and I had to remove the slip call
in the /etc/rc.local besides destroying the NetWare.  whew.  so since I don't
have ftp ability, is there a new copy of slip out there that runs bugfree
with ns3.0?  actually, what is strange is that the slip worked fine, it dialed
the phone and connected me at the same time that I was getting the error
about not being able to bring up the WindowServer.  any ideas on this would
be most appreciated.

thanks again

I tried coming up single user, and sure enuff .. I can't write to anything, it

The machine is a 68040 cube running NextStep 3.0

Any ideas about where to start looking? The user went on holiday on Dec 20th.

Kjell,

Look again. It's not for every new document (the Page Layout... Panel
isn't document-specific anyway), but for every new invocation of an
application. The reason is that NeXT apparently hasn't yet defined a
default's name for this information. You will need to wait until they
fix it, and until then, first set the proper size every time you
launch your program. If you really want to fix it now, you will have
to launch your application from a Journaler script, created with,
e.g., ShowAndTell (demo which has---why?---not been inherited from
NS_2.X).

Hi,

Does anybody interface between Franz's Allegro Common Lisp and
NeXTSTEP?  We're thinking about implementing part of a project in
Lisp, but it would need to interact regularly with both a user
interface and Objective-C.

A long time ago I did see a couple of examples of how to do this, but
sadly have no record of where.  Others' tales of experience would be
particularly welcome.

Have fun,

Malcolm.

Subject:      Clearscreen (and other codes) not working properly on NeXT??

When I dial in to the NeXT, with kermit (PC or Mac), occasionally some scrren
control codes don't work properly.  Generally it is around the time that
the screen should be cleared, but sometimes the screen does clear (it always
works in the same place and always goofs up in the same places).
Generally I get it when I log on, before the first prompt appears, but I get
it when I quit a few programs and LOTS of times in the Goper client
Sometimes it goofs up with words in the man pages, I think those words
are inverse or underlined.

The most common code is ?[;H?[2J and it generally starts with ?[; but not
always.

It NEVER errors when I am running terminal from the console, and it doesn't
error when I use NCSA telnet on the Mac (TCP mode).  IF I telnet to anonther
computer and hook into it's gopher client, it runs fine (I don't really
know what that means but it might[?] mean my modem software is okay,
the mac version of the software is .99(93)).

Any suggestions??  It doesn't bother me much, but the others using the modem
don't like it very much and worry about the strange chracters, especally when
screenfuls of information overwrite themselves.

By the way, I compiled the Gopher client 1.1 myself, this
might be the problem.
( my NeXT is set for editmode=dumb, term=vt100, I've tried a variety
or different things here, but no luck.)

Thanks!

There is an excellent Mac emulator for the NeXT -- Executor from ARDI.
It doesn't run everything because some Mac apps aren't 32-bit clean,
but it does fine on Microsoft Word 4.0 and 5.0 and Excel 3.0 and 4.0
as well as most shareware.

Last I heard, the retail price was $360 with an educational price of
$180. You also need to buy the Mac software you want to run and may
have to install it on a Mac before bringing it to your NeXT. You do not
have to buy any Apple software or hardware.

Executor does not emulate the Mac finder. It runs applications that
run on Macs.

To contact ARDI:
  Abacus Research and Development, Inc.
  1650 University Blvd., NE
  Albuquerque, NM 87102
  505-766-9115 (no 800 number)

Cliff Matthews is ARDI president, and his email address is
ctm@ardi.com. I forget which email address to use for info, but
Cliff is very friendly and has a wonderful product.

By the way, it is pronounced as executor of a will rather than as
a person on a death squad.

I am very interested in the answer myself. However, it is a mistake to 
assume that the Iroquois were ALWAYS much friendlier with the French 
than with the English. The English had been making treaties with the
Five Nations since at least the days of Sir Edmund Andros and the Dominion
of New England (1683-1689). Oh yes, the colonists hated the Indians 
because they prevented westward expansion, but the English government
was on very good terms with the Iroquois because of the fur trade. In 
fact, one of the reasons for Andros' downfall in 1689 was because he 
made alliances with the Iroquois Nations, much to the displeasure of the
local real estate speculators.

Subject:      Space exploration

Hi,

Greetings from a historian who is looking for information [succinct if
possible] on the politics of early space exploration...maybe from Sputnik
onwards into the sixties.  I'm preparing an article, and any ideas would be
extremely welcome.  Basically, I'm looking at how the space exploration thing
was so tied up with the military progress of the day [witness the British
example]; why it became a political virility symbol and what the participating
countries hoped to get out of it.  Did they really see space as a new frontier,
or was it a vehicle for technological sabre rattling?

Could you direct any thoughts to my reply address, as I'm not a regular
subscriber to History?

Thank you

Happy New Year

Subject:      AHA in Washington

From: Allan Needell

Greetings,

I'm curious.  Did anyone attend the AHA meeting in Washington (or any
of the associated more specialized meeting?  If so, 1) thanks for not
calling to ask for a private tour of the Air and Space Museum; 2) What
were your impressions of the meeting?

I ask because I am on the local arrangements committee for the planned
1993 meeting of the Society for History of Technology.  Others are
taking care of most of the details.  I thought I'd try to see if there
were any Washington, DC--specific lessons to be learned from the recent
AHA extravaganza.

Hello all. I am trying to track down some citations for either books
or articles on any aspect of work in Tudor and Stuart England,
especially and including:
work and wages, the meaning of work, work and industrialization, 
women and work...you get the idea. I'm having extreme difficulty
locating much before the eighteenth century. Any leads would be
greatly appreciated, the more recent the better.

Thanks in advance!
