| Do emacs users not type captial letters or does emacs not support

sometimes, I wonder how the human race survived this far, but it can't be
that much longer before we're history.
Emacs users don't need a caps lock key. they have much better ways to
capitalize words, expressions, regions, whatever the need may be. also,
automatic capitalization of frequently typed words is available via
abbrevations. perhaps Emacs users are less sensitive to case than people
who have to type it in by hand -- I don't know. I dispensed with case
long ago, and of course Emacs helped in that process. others may have
the same experience.

Hello,
I am using DLD version 5.4 of Linux(2.0.33). Please let me know whether
it is Y2K compliant. If so could you refer to a document in the DLD
package where the same has been specified?
Thanks and regards,

Very few copyright licenses of any sort have been tested in court.

The FSF has had code out there under the GPL for many years now. The fact
that it has not been infringed (the FSF would certainly sue) is evidence
that the lawyers think it is enforceable.

Attempting to enforce any sort of license could make one bitter. The legal
fees are insanely high, and the proceedings slow and tend to favor the
wealthy and powerful.

Hadn't heard that rumor. Note, however, that one cannot violate the GPL.
One can infringe the copyright on a work licensed under the GPL by failing
to comply with the terms of the GPL, but only if one is called on it by the
author. There is no infringement unless the author says so.

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.

It's not been to court that I know of, but the FSF did get Next to release
their gcc-based objective-c compiler under the GPL.

No. What actually happens is that the Panasonic CDROM interface
needs a DOS driver to be initialized. Simply setup a boot menue in DOS
that loads the driver in DOS, and then boots Linux.

If there's a version of ssh available for NT, you could set up the
client on the NT box and put the server (sshd) on the linux box. That
would give you a secure data path for just shooting the files straight
across with scp. I suppose the best alternative would be to PGP the

CHAPTER 1.
DOS TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Programming Technical Reference - IBM
Copyright 1988, Dave Williams
SOME HISTORY
Development of MSDOS/PCDOS began in October 1980, when IBM began searching
the market for an operating system for the yet-to-be-introduced IBM PC.
Microsoft had no real operating system to sell, but after some research licensed
Seattle Computer Products' 86-DOS, which had been written by a man named Tim
Paterson for use on the company's line of 8086, S100 bus micros. This was
hurriedly polished up and presented to IBM for evaluation. IBM had originally
intended to use Digital Research's CP/M operating system, which was the industry
standard at the time. Folklore reports everything from obscure legal
entanglements to outright snubbing of the IBM representatives by Digital,
irregardless, IBM found itself left with Microsoft's offering of "Microsoft Disk
Operating System 1.0".

If it helps at all, I am also seeing similar paging request errors under
linux 2.0.36 with an AMD K6-200 and 128MB RAM. I will need to change
my syslog.conf to obtain a dump next time it happens (will post).

With kernel 2.0.33 I had them all as modules. The only thing I noticed with that
setup was that I had to load the zip drive modules by hand each time. kerneld
didn't work for them. But I got around that by making a shellscript for mounting
and umounting, named simply "Z". It's attached, plus I attached all the other
scripts you may find handy as well.
With kernel 2.2.0-pre6 I compiled everything into the kernel. And I can print
even while a parallel port zip disk is mounted. I imagine as long as I don't try
to access data from the disk while printing I'll be ok. But I haven't stressed
tested that far yet. ;)

Bonus: you get an A+ if you can translate the attached tcsh scripts to the bash
shell!
