Reading Office Files in Linux...
Anyone know of a program in Linux that can read a password protected M$ Word 2000 file? I have the password, but OO.org tells me it can't do pssworded files... Ditto for Kword... TIA, Brian ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: Reading Office Files in Linux...
Have you tried wv (formerly mswordview)? I haven't used it before for this, so I have no idea if it will have the same limitations of KWord and OO.org, but it may work. -N On Monday 26 September 2005 04:41 am, Brian Chabot wrote: > Anyone know of a program in Linux that can read a password protected M$ > Word 2000 file?

Re: PHP contact manager: who's got a favorite?
Using a spreadsheet today and you'd like to have a web front end that works in any browser? Oracle has the following: http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/viewlets/htmldb_quicktour_viewlet.html (Above link is the 1.6 version, there is a new 2.0 version that has less steps.) http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/index.html As always, all Oracle technology products are free for download from OTN for personal use. For 'at work' use we are now giving away our IDE (Oracle JDeveloper) in addition to supporting Eclipse.

Regardless, if I don't have something better to offer, I'll have to at least consider it. But I *know* there are PHP contact managers out there -- the problem is that there are so many! Does anyone have recommendations for one they really liked, or warnings about one not to use?

Honestly, I have yet to find anything that works flawlessly other than original software.. so, I accept MS Office for what it is, a widely used, easy to understand and relatively good and full featured office suite. Now, make it work under linux... Crossover Office works great for this and their price really is worth the lack of headaches you face with weird highlighting, passwords, fonts... anything like that.

Re: Web Colo?
I can vouch for ColoSpace too. I used to use them with my last company and we were always happy with them. They were by far the best value for the money for a small company (we only had two servers) and we were never disappointed with service. -N On Monday 26 September 2005 12:54 pm, Travis Roy wrote: > Well, I'm probably a bit biased working for them.. but.. > > www.colospace.com > > We have datacenters in Manchester, NH and in Marlborough, Somerville, > and Quincy Mass, and we're building one out in Rockland Mass. > > 888-583-9200, ask for Gary, tell him Travis sent you. > > We do shared space (multiple customers in one cabinet/suite), and we do > space from 1/4 cabinet and up. > > David J Berube wrote: > > Hello All, > > > > Any recommendations on a webserver colos?

Re: Reading Office Files in Linux...
Well, firstly update to Open Office 2: http://marketing.openoffice.org/2.0/featureguide.html If that's not possible, the easiest thing might be to fire up your VMWare instance and run the document through MS Office thusly: 1.)Open a protected document in Word. 2.)Choose the Save As Web Page (*.htm; *.html) option and close Word. 3.)Open the HTML document in any text editor. 4.)Search the tag for a line that looks like: ABCDEF01. Gather the password. 5.)Open the original .doc document with any hex editor. 6.)Search for hex values of the password (reverse order). 7.)Overwrite all four double-bytes with 0x00. Save, and close. 8.)Open the document in Word. Select Tools, Unprotect Document. Password is blank.

My Debian system has a pretty decent man page for "interfaces" in which we find this: Options are usually indented for clarity [...] but are not required to be. ...and which also explains that a stanza is terminated either by EOF or the beginning of a new stanza, defined as a line beginning with one of "iface", "mapping", "auto" or "allow-" . ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Can TWiki URLs be made to suck less?
This is one of those minor nits that start to really irritate one after awhile: TWiki URLs suck. They're impossible to transcribe by hand, they're long, they're ugly, they frequently get mangled, etc. Does anyone know of an easy way to make TWiki URLs not suck? For example, take this URL: http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/RegularSchedule Blech! Ideally, I would like it to be: http://wiki.gnhlug.org/RegularSchedule Anyone know if this is easily possible? A cursory check of the TWiki docs found nothing, and Google finds tons of the wrong info. I suspect this might actually be more of an Apache question then a TWiki question. The problem may be complicated by the fact that TWiki adds things to the URLs to do more things, such as: http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/oops/Www/RegularSchedule?template=oopsmore¶m1=1.2¶m2=1.2 I don't really care about those (they're for the computer, not people), but we can't break those when we improve the "regualar" URLs.
