And the same sort of ills that plague NT's terminal server are the
strength's of X. Win32 was designed to be a GUI, not a cross platform
network graphics system.

Do you refer to those thingies that were in Borland C++ for Windows 3.x?
That was probably the smartest thing that anyone could have ever done to
C++, and it was incredibly short sited for Borland to remove them.

True, but MS is probably going to lead the revolt against it with new
keywords and extensions. With that done, others will follow. This will
fragment C++ more so than it already is, but if MS does the "right" thing,
and defines a standard way to get event driven stuff in C++, and tolerates
other vendors implementing the same, that would fix C++ a lot.

I really loath Visual Basic these days. It was a pioneering product in
its day, but I'd be hard pressed not to recommend Delphi. I like it. It's
clean. It's simple.

Agree. But I wanted to press that point because, even though I am a Windows
advocate, for some things, I am sick of hearing how Unix can't do graphics
when it simply isn't true. One can be a partisan and still despise
ignorance within one's own community.

The silly wizard in Visual C++ 6.0 that writes a simple WindowProc, message

many years ago. Useful and hackable.

>And even in 1999 everybody still uses char * for their strings...
Yeah, I do. For me, its a matter of disciplining myself against it. I have
my own string class, and used to use that for a lot of stuff, but lately,
I've discovered that _bstr_t is actually not so bad when dealing with
Windows stuff.
My only hesitance against the standard library c++ string is that I do not
know how cross platform it is, or isn't. At work, I do a lot of compile and
ge to work on Windows NT, then recompile on Unix, and do exhaustive
certification there, where it will be deployed. I have even have a stupid
little daemon I wrote under NT that watches my project directories and
always FTP's the source to my dev area under Solaris. It makes it seem like
cross platform development is pretty convenient, actually.

So I have this trackball, called the "Expert Mouse 5.0" made by
Kensington. I really like it, except for the fact that I can't get any of
the 4 buttons to act like a middle button. I can't even get pressing two
buttons at once to work. I've tried emulate 3 button, and generic 3
button, and (on the off chance they were related to each other) Kensington
Thinking Mouse. It behaves the same way no matter what. Has anyone else
had any luck getting the other buttons to work? I've looked around on the
web for a driver specific to this trackball and haven't found any.
Kensington seems not to know that Unix of any flavor exists. Any ideas?

Do not make the mistake that "easy to learn" means that it is

I prefer CLI for many tasks *BECAUSE* it saves me quite a bit of

You can make all the easy to learn GUI tools you like, but they will
*never* be more efficient or labor saving to use for many (most?)
tasks then similar CLI tools, simple because it is *impossible* for
you or anyone else to keep up with the needs of the user from one
minute to the next.
And yes, I and thousands of other "archaic" CLI users do type stuff
like the above off the top of our heads on command lines all day
long. Most of us are not "programmers" or "expert computer users"
by any stretch either.

An upgrade to the 2.2 kernel will get your P5A to work with UDMA. I wasn't

Unfortunately, I don't know if J24 was in the right place when I got the
machine. My board is says "J24 Pipeline" and can be set to "on" or "off".
What should it be when a second processor is present?
If it means that with dual processors, the L2 pipeline cache should be "off"
(disabled), then that's a real bummer. but I think it just means "turn off
pipelining when using dual processors but still use the L2 cache - just
syncronize the 2 cpu's cacheing so they don't write over each other's L2
cache".

If I remember right, Vcc (STD) means "3.135V - 3.465V", VRE means "3.4V -
3.6V", and MMX uses the split voltage that definitely won't work on the 5/90.
If so, Intel did make at least one Vcc (Std) voltage P133 non-MMX series,
s-spec'd as SK106. Now, if those were dual processor capable cpus, they
should work in the 5/90.
I just spent 45 minutes trying various processors in my Vectra XU 5/90 and
have managed to decode the dip switches into a table of cpu speeds, bus
speeds, and clock multipliers. I had to work my way backwords from the clock
speed to the bus speed and multiplier, but I'm 99.9% sure I got it right.
SW1 SW6 SW7 CPU Clock Bus Multiplier
ON ON OFF 80 Mhz 40 Mhz 2.0
ON OFF ON 100 Mhz 50 Mhz 2.0
ON OFF OFF 120 Mhz 60 Mhz 2.0
ON ON ON 133 Mhz 66 Mhz 2.0
OFF ON OFF 60 Mhz 40 Mhz 1.5
OFF OFF ON 75 Mhz 50 Mhz 1.5
OFF OFF OFF 90 Mhz 60 Mhz 1.5
OFF ON ON 100 Mhz 66 Mhz 1.5
Or, in short:
CPU Clock Multiplier
SW1
2.0x ON
1.5x OFF
System Bus Speed
SW6 SW7
40 Mhz ON OFF
50 Mhz OFF ON
60 Mhz OFF OFF

Hello Folks!!!
I need someone's help.
My soundcard is working fine, I am running a P-166 /w Red Hat Linux 5.2

I have OPL-SA3 intergrated sound card but can only configure it using
Sound Blaster drivers with the following configuration :
IRQ=5
DMA=1 (at least one of the DMAs)

I can play wav files without a problems.....MIDIs too...
Only one problem : I cannot play ANY audio CDs....they play all

Date: 19 Mar 1999 08:02:11 GMT
i am wondering if you know of any MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video digitizers
which work under Redhat 5.2 or where I can find this information?
Also, I am interested in adding a DVD-ROM but don't know of any that
work under Redhat. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Subject: HP 2100 and ghostscript
Date: 19 Mar 1999 07:54:02 GMT
Reply-To: Bill Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I was wondering: does the HP Laserjet 2100 work with ghostscript?
The ghostscript web page says:
lj5gray H-P LaserJet 5 & 6 family, gray-scale bitmap;
But I am about to buy the 2100 and plan to use ghostscript. I noticed
this printer uses PCL 6 instead of PCL 5; in any case, does this printer
work OK with ghostscript?
Thanks very much for any help.

the 300a is the easiest to overclock, since the cache can run at 100mhz and

asus is a great mobo to buy. I buy no others if I can help it.

no one buys for more than a few yrs lifetime. there IS no longevity. sorry

unfortunately, the intel mobo chipsets are more widely used and more stable.
I have several k6 systems and while they work well for linux in most
situations, sometimes the intel BX set is more stable.
