Heh. I sympathize. I too pine for the days when everything was ASCII and characters could fit into a 7-bit byte and things were simple. Those days are rapidly passing. There are billions of people in the world whose language won't fit nicely into ASCII, and they want to use the Internet, too.

Others have mentioned the values of various environment variables, which is usualy my second place to look, the first being the man page :) DESCRIPTION List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default).

To be more specific, I probably should have specified LC_COLLATE instead of "LANG". No big deal. All of this stuff refers to "locale" settings, which all relates to "internationalization" (which is frequently abbrebiated "I18N"). I think that this web page gives a good description of what UTF-8 is: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/805-4123/6j3tmpc75?a=view UTF-8 is a file system safe Universal Character Set Transformation Format of Unicode / ISO/IEC 10646-1 formulated by XoJIG of X/Open in 1992 and approved by ISO and IEC as Amendment 2 to ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 in 1996. This is a far more precise description of what UTF-8 is than I can conjure up at this time of day. (-: So, part of the notion of a locale is a *character set*, and furthermore, there is an associated way to *collate/sort* these characters as well. en_US.UTF-8 sees 'a' and 'A' as being equivalent when these are sorted. When LANG=C, your telling the system that you want the {old, default, non-I18N, characters are functionally at most 1*sizeof(char) wide, this is how the "C" language originally did it} manner of sorting/collating. In this "locale", 'a' and "A" are different. Many people, including myself, are more used to the "C" locale's way of sorting, but we can see the merits of other locales too. You can learn more by reading the man pages for locale, setlocale(), strcoll(), etc. Regards, --kevin -- GnuPG ID: B280F24E And the madness of the crowd alumni.unh.edu!kdc Is an epileptic fit -- Tom Waits ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

"C" means "C", as in "the C programming language". When you say "LANG=C", you tell the system you want the old-fashioned sort order based on encoded character values (typically ASCII) that C always used. With LANG=C, the system isn't locale or language aware, and just does a simple numeric comparison of characters. This means, for example, that capital letters sort before lowercase letters. This tends to fail miserably with non-Latin character sets (i.e., not US or Western Europe). With "LANG=en_US.UTF-8", the system is being told two things. One, the sort order should be as proper for the English language in the US. (That means case-insensitive sorts and such.) Second, character encoding should be assumed to be UTF-8. UTF-8 is a method of encoding Unicode characters which is backwards-compatible with ASCII. Anything which is legal ASCII encodes to the same value in UTF-8; higher order characters (which are never legal in ASCII) get encoded using multiple bytes (varying lengths, depending on the Unicode character). -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Those "binaries", if there are any, are bundled into the application's "starpack". (Typically, each platform's TCL is the only binary in a starpack). I've been assuming the starpack's SDX utility (which glues the various parts of TCL and the application into a starpack) was LSB compliant and created LSB compliant binaries - at least for the Linux platform. That assumption may not be valid. > Of course I do not see where Starkits does any of the testing for > prerequisites > and dependencies that RPM or APT does. It doesn't need to. RPM's, APT, and other Linux packaging concepts are beyond the scope of starkits. Actually, starpacks are another form of RPMs, ... but mostly for people developing on systems that don't (or didn't) have a concept of package management. In TCL, package dependency management is done with the "package" command, and its done at run-time by the application, instead of an external packaging system. BTW: I just read on the starpack mailing list where someone suggested that jcw use RHL 7.3 as the basis of starpack development. Evidently, Linux binaries developed on a RHL 7.3 system will run on most other distributions. They went further to suggest that any application that doesn't work from there should be rebuilt from scratch for the target system. I suspect this is the direction jcw is going to take. --Bruce ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

You solved your problem, but... I recently encountered an issue with CentOS 4.2 (RHEL clone) and some no-name KVM switch. It appears the 2.6 kernel has more sophisticated built-in mouse support (to facilitate USB support), but that something about it does not get along some KVM switches. Symptoms included: - Totally erratic mouse pointer movement after switching away and back to the Linux box - Kernel error messages in syslog about "lost synchronization" and "throwing bytes away" The fix was to add the following kernel command line parameters to the boot loader: psmouse.resetafter=10 psmouse.proto=bare A reboot was required to put those changes into effect.

FYI, they are blocking gmail too... as I got a similar blocked message last night. Someone at Verizon doesn't know what they are doing. And, in what manner, is this a surprise? I've had them block Comcast before (and, yes, I was relaying through Comcast's SMTP server properly). GMail & Yahoo Mail has been a problem upon occasion too. I have to drive to the North Country to fix a network. The customer was having some problem accessing Verizon's webmail and called Verizon (rather than us). Verizon had them rewire and reconfigure the network. The end result, they have an on-demand PPPoE connection for a single Windows system instead of an always-on connection for a Linux/Windows network. The single system on the Internet can no longer see the rest of the network. Verizon told them to throw out their broken router, which happens to be a $2000 Sonicwall VPN solution. That's the point the customer called us, thank the gods. Of course, it is not a Verizon monopoly, just last week I had a customer, who uses Comcast's authenticated SMTP, have his email rejected while traveling. Comcast said that smtp.comcast.net was blacklisted. :-) (It was fixed within an hour, FWIW.) -- Dan Jenkins ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Rastech Inc., Bedford, NH, USA --- 1-603-206-9951 *** Technical Support for over a Quarter Century ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Here is something interesting: : Date: 23 Apr 2006 17:42:49 - : From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Subject: failure notice : : Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com. : I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following : addresses. : This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. : : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: : Connected to 206.46.232.13 but sender was rejected. : Remote host said: 550 Email from your Email Service Provider is currently : blocked by : Verizon Online's anti-spam system. The email "sender" or Email Service : Provider may visit : http://www.verizon.net/whitelist and request removal of the block. A friend of mine even reminded me that Verizon and Yahoo have a business relationship when it comes to ISP functionality. I thought I'd pass this along. From my friend's perspective, he is a Verizon customer and he is looking for work; he is none to happy at the possibility that responses to his resume might be blocked. --kevin ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
