Re: Uh Oh... Prof requires ms word format
Don't believe all the nay sayers on the list. 6 years ago, on my first laptop, I ran Win95 and Office on a 486-DX 33 with 8MB RAM and 120MB HDD (that,s Meg not Gig). It's true that I eventually ended up using Hamm split onto the HDD and a 100Zip drive. I also have a Pentium 100 40MB RAM, 1.2GH HDD that will quite happily run Win98 and Office97. It is stuck in a cupboard now :) That said, I do think you would do better to follow the suggestion to print in ps and convert to pdf.

I guess I HAVE to install X now. :( Maybe I should get a different laptop? Is a 150 mhz machine with 2 gig hd and 32 meg ram going to be able to do the job? I'm worried now. There's nothing wrong with installing X. It's all Free, so use the best tool for the job. For many tasks I have nothing open but a single fullscreen terminal with no window decorations, but it is an xterm. For me, text in an xterm is faster, crisper, and at 1600x1200 is higher resolution than anything I can get on the console with my video card. I feel that I mentioned this a week or two ago when we were having a similar conversation on the list, but even if you were to use OpenOffice.org, whenever you need to turn in a .doc file converted from OOo (rather than a printed document), you are going to want to preview the .doc document on a machine running Windows, in genuine MS Word, and preferably the same version your instructor will be running. Either you will need to use a lab computer to do this, or use a friend's computer. Because if something doesn't work right, there are no excuses. You had access to a lab computer just like all the people who don't even have a personal computer, and you had access to the prescribed tools on those lab computers. Which operating system you will be running is going to be the least of your worries. You're _never_ going to get a higher grade because your completed assignment went through n esoteric conversions and was keyed in on a front panel. And if you have to worry about that, you are either going to need to spend that much more time on the assignment than everyone else, or you will be stressed and start to miss things. It is almost never worth accepting a lower grade because you did not use the prescribed tools for the job. CS has very little to do with learning how to operate any particular operating system. You will find many successful CS students who use only Windows, and the odds are that many of them will be smarter and more successful in school than you. It just doesn't matter that much. It really doesn't. Do something Linux or UNIX related at the hobbyist level, in school IT employment, or in an internship. I think you have 4 good options, which have already been covered: - Ask the professor whether you can turn in completed assignments in PDF format, and explain to him or her why you would prefer to. - Compose documents with LaTeX and convert to rtf. Then go to a lab machine and convert rtf to doc with MS Word, preview the doc file in MS Word and cocrrect any formatting issues, zip it, and turn it in (see packages latex2rtf and latex2rtf-doc). - Buy a slightly faster machine and from your campus computer or book store buy educational license copies of Windows 2000 and Office 2000 (or whatever). - Use a lab computer, and keep your machine for tinkering and other free-time pursuits, or for those assignments where it doesn't create more problems than are worth hassling with. Remember, even if you chose to buy a faster machine to run OpenOffice.org, at risk of getting a lower grade when it fails to open correctly or format just right, or display things in the right order, you will still need to go to a lab machine and preview the converted .doc file. And again, it is almost never worth taking that risk. dircha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What do I do > to do that on linux? I guess I HAVE to install X now. :( Since you're already thinking about LaTeX... Your professor is running windows and cares about file size. There is a very handy windows app which can read _all files_ which a linux app can generate, if that app can print to a file, as most (if not all) can. The de facto standard on un*x systems for printing files is postscript. Certainly with LaTeX it is _very_ easy to output these. The nice thing about postscript is that you can translate it to Adobe's Portable Data Format (PDF) and the windows program I'm talking about would be Adobe's Acrobat Reader. All my teachers in the last year and the entire school I teach are running windows, but I just convert everything to pdf and I'm all set. I would be very suprised if your professor wouldn't accept pdf. If he doesn't, I'd think about following John's suggestion. HTH, David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus.

You absolutely WILL NOT be able to run OO on that system. It would be a small miracle if you were even able to get the Java VM alone to load on there. However, last I checked MS Word has no problem opening up regular old ASCII files. So unless you really NEED to be making charts and use curved text with all sorts of other bells and whistles, I see no reason that he shouldn't accept a plain old ASCII file. Just remember that since he's a Windows user you'll have to name it *.txt so that his system doesn't think it's an executable or who knows what else. As long as you're not going to be writing any extremely complex (i.e. heavy duty number-crunching) programs, that machine should be enough to develop on. For screenshots you can use one of the previously mentioned methods to get a screen capture of your console. If your prof won't accept that, you can install just plain-old X with an xterm and an X screen capture program and call it a day. I have run X with an xterm on a 133 with 24 MB of RAM without TOO much trouble. It's not nearly as snappy as my 2.4 GHz box, it works. :) Hope that helps. FWIW, having gotten my BS a month ago, I've found that most profs are willing to let you work in whatever environment you want as long as you do the work and as long as they're able to efficiently grade it. The only time this has been a problem with me was with a prof who wanted compiled binaries as part of the submitted assignment. For this I would run down to the lab, do a compile (and use their printer to print source, etc) and then go to class.
