Ugh. I'm still waiting for the day that "ls -R *.c", or "grep -r xyz *.h"
really work...
I don't know of any built-in NT command to do the equivalent of
"find -newer", but using Cygnus or MingW, you can build most of the GNU
utilities for NT/2k, or you can find precompiled versions in various places
around the web. One problem with something like find is that there's an
equivalent NT command, so if your path picks up the NT commands first, you
get the wrong one. Bad for inexperienced users, but not so bad for
experienced ones.
E:\dev\python>\bin\find . -newer proj.err -print
.
./examples
./examples/pysyntax.py
./examples/test_recursive.py
...
Of course, this solves your problem for one simple case. You're still going
to be pissed, though.
The main issue with building the GNU utilities is the same as the reason
that the recurse options on ls and grep don't work. The NT shell doesn't
expand wildcards, and the Unix shell does. Thus, even if you recompile the
GNU utilities, they aren't written to handle wildcards, and most will barf
horribly if they ever get one.

One would assume so, but that is not necessarily true. For example,
Micro channel was superior technology to the ISA bus used at the time.
IBM knew it and so did everyone else in the world. Unfortunately, like
Sony Beta format, it was not accepted as a "standard" with the word
standard being defined as "what most people are using". This is like a
car which typically has 4 wheels. This is standard for a car. There is
nothing wrong with having 8 wheels, and if I were driving in mud in
the swamps of Korea, 8 wheels would most likely be better, but 4
wheels is still standard.
>I guess Linux' time has truly arrived, then ;-))
Linux does well with older hardware.
I have SuSE running pmfirewall on a 486 Thinkpad 750 which is a
486/33.
Win98, if I remember correctly won't even install on a 486 unless you
fool it with a setup switch.
As for PS/2's and Windows 98, I can't really say because I have never
seen one running Windows 98. Windows 95 yes, but not 98.
You could try booting in safe mode step by step (I forget what it is
called, but there is a selection for it) and watching as the drivers
are loaded to see which one is causing trouble, but honestly I haven't
had much success doing that.

My HP 4020i (an old CD-burner) has two burn rates: 1x and 2x.
I seriously doubt that any modern equipment wouldn't support 1x;
MusicMatch might force a 1x burn rate for a freeware burn, which
means the CDs are burned much more slowly. (But it is a more
reliable process. :-) )
Even if modern equipment doesn't support 1x, MusicMatch could
presumably inquire as to the possible burn speeds and perform
accordingly.
(Disclaimer: I don't know anything about MusicMatch beyond the
fact that it can burn audio CD's.)

The Office EULA is downright scary. It basically says that when a document
or spread sheet or whatever is created with an Office product, the ownership
of the document (etc) is held by Microshaft, not the person sitting at the
computer.
For example, you are NOT allowed to view a Word document with anything
other than Microsoft products....thus, doing a hex-dump of a .doc file
with unix-land "od" command is a violation of the EULA.
I expect Microsoft WILL attempt to enforce this provision of the EULA
at some time...otherwise, why would they put it in.

In other words...once it became open source, firewall admins became

For how long were these same systems being quietly broken into

Aaron R. Kulkis
Unix Systems Engineer
DNRC Minister of all I survey
ICQ # 3056642
H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
