Compile problem--Tnos
Hi, I've been trying to compile TNOS-2.30 without much success. When I execute ./premake I get an error message almost immediately that reads : 'can't load library 'libelf.so.0' Would anyone know what I should look for to correct the problem? I'm using Caldera Open Linix 1.1, linux 2.0.29 ; gcc 2.7.2.1 Jack -- kc6cem email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Big Bear Lake, California, USA
RE: ARRL Handbook on CD
I just looked at my copy. It uses pdf Acrobat is even on the CD as well. When I get the chance I'll peek at it on this Linux machine, but I will be surprised if its not readable - at least in part. Costs around $40; not as user friendly as the hard copy, and it is more portable, (but only if you normally lug a pc around with you.) The Antenna Handbook is also on CD, and its in pdf as well, but now I have it, I prefer the paper edition for ease of bedtime browsing. (At this location I can only dream about antennas).

Is most of the data in some cross platform format like PDF, or did they decide to use either a Microsoft format, or a proprietary format? Or maybe even in simple text?

Re: need mailgw help
The problem is solved. smtp_rcv is working fine now. I found that the signal 13 error disapeared after I changed one of the mailgw config files. A few tips for whoever wants to configure mailgw I found that smtp_rcv writes its output file, mail.in, with the owner.group properties of the user that sent the smtp mail. This means that the /urs/local/fbb directory needs to have write properties for everybody. I didn't like that so I changed /etc/mailgw/mailgw.conf and /usr/local/fbb/init.srv to look for the mail.in file in /var/spool/mailgw Aparently smtp-rcv also wants to write the lock file for pbbs_rcv. I think this is a bug, but I worked around it by also using /var/spool/mailgw/ als the location where FBB writes it's output file to. The file /doc/sendmail/sendmail.txt in the mailgw package mentions to the following line to be added in sendmail.cf Mpbbs, P=/usr/mailgw/smtp_rcv, F=lFDMn, S=10/30, R=40, T=X-Unix, A=smtp_rcv $f $u $u@$h But this causes all mails to be exported with an extra @ behind the address. This can be solved in the mailgw config files, but I tought it was nicer to not add this extra @ in sendmail.cf. I have the following line added in sendmail.cf Mpbbs, P=/usr/mailgw/smtp_rcv, F=lFDMn, S=10/30, R=40, T=X-Unix, A=smtp_rcv $f $h $u Also instead of making seperate entries for all .EU .WW .NOAM and so on domains, I have made an entry for .bbs This way you don't have to change the config files if you find that you want to forward another domain also. smtp mail can be addressed as follows [EMAIL PROTECTED] If have stored the mailgw config files and sendmail.cf in a tarball on ftp://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/pub/linux/mailgw/ for whoever wants to use them as an example. I haven't yet looked at nntp forwarding, so those files are not altered. 73, Arno pe1icq
Serial Sync RS-422 Learning curve
Well, I may of messed up. Last night I burned in the new Eprom image for the WA4DSY modem using the Edit56k windows utility and an older JTR Eprom programmer. Thinking standard serial lines, In the excitement, I did not hesitate to unplug the modem from the PackeTwin card while the machine was running. This I had done zillions of times with the standard serial kiss links. After burning and installing the new Eprom I hooked everything back up and rebooted the system. Much to my dismay the PackeTwin card does load but it does not talk to the WA4DSY modem anymore. It appears that I may have blown away the RS-422 chipset. I replace the original Eprom and had the same results. Looks like I am out another $36.00 for a chipset. Hopefully this msg may save someone else the expense. Comments always welcome. regards, John :-(
Re: ARRL Handbook on CD
You said: RANT ARRL has released all back issues of QST on CD in the past few years and these files are not PDF. I have the 1995 QST View (as they call it) and it uses some proprietary file format and a custom viewer written specifically for this application. I wrote the publications manager about a year ago asking if X would be supported, or if the file format would be made available for a free software project. Essentially, the answer was no, not at this time. So, until Linux becomes the ham platform of choice and QST View sales drop off for that reason, I don't foresee ARRL supporting X with QST View. At a hamfest last weekend, a company was offering a *decent* dualbander for a really good price that was PC programmable. I asked the gal if there was support for linux, or if the protocol for their radio was available. I came to find out she didn't know about the protocol, and she wasn't aware of any other OS's than Windows. I sighed and moved on.. It's not long until the unclean masses start demanding linux support from their vendors..and im excited to wait. -Dan N7NMD

Better yet, use JNOS . . . the learning curve is less steep, there is current support, and it does almost everything TNOS does. I speak from experience. 73 de K6HS -- ## # Harry L.

Will they care? I have been a licensed amateur for only about 10-11 years and my biggest grumble regarding the ARRL is that they are oftentimes not very supportive of amateur related interested which fall outside the radius of what is deemed the paramount interests and/or absorbtions of what they view as the majority of the amateur community. Items which deviate this ARRL self defined scope seem to be treated as collateral and unimportant. How does this pertain to the situation you describe? In that old rhetorical sense of argument that can be best defined in phrase, "everybody uses MS Windows so why cater to the minority that does not??". Much the same mannerism of "everybody does this or that nowadays" that the ARRL has undertaken in several other amateur related issues that I had been involved in over the years. However, of late I am quite detached as although licensed I have not been practicing amateur radio actively in the last several years. It behooves me to make clear that I am not saying this to belittle the ARRL or any of their actions which may have notably benefited the amateur community over the many years of its operations.

Re: ARRL Handbook on CD
ghostview, xpdf, acrobat reader and several other X apps do a fine job with .pdf's. Interesting note, .pdf is merely .ps with LZW compression. jk
RE: ARRL Handbook on CD
Actually, a PDF is alittle more involved that just a ps file. It's possible to include a fulltext segment that can automatically be index via some web search engines, and have it all go along for the ride. As for the compression, it's kinda lousy atleast on standard 150 dpi scans of BW text. A standard G4 tiff is 25% smaller than the pdf - I guess it just depends on what you need. 73 .mark -- From: James S.

Re: ARRL Handbook on CD
Although an ARRL member continuosly since January of 1983, the League is not above criticism when I believe they are taking the wrong path. An interesting page I read last night is at: http://www.wm7d.net/az_proj/az_html/arrl_restructuring.html by NA3T. I know this is getting off target, but although we have seen support on this list from various HQ staff (keep up the good work guys!), from the view presented by the League to the mainstream membership, ARRL is a Wintendo (I like that) outfit. I admit, though, Linux has gotten at least two mentions in the Digital Dimension column some months back. Perhaps it behooves more experimenters to embrace Linux and write articles about it and using it for project development for QST. Perhaps some of the blame can be laid at our doorstep for not providing them with publishable articles. Unfortunately, I don't see the market emphasis of the League changing until they are losing sales because of the lack of Linux and X support. My crystal ball is cloudy, but until most of the computer software use in ham radio is ported to Linux/X, the League will continue to market to Wintendo only. 73, de Nate -- Packet | N0NB @ WF0A.#SCKS.KS.USA.NOAM | "None can love freedom Internet | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | heartily, but good Location | Valley Center, Kansas USA EM17hs| men; the rest love not Visit my Linux + Ham Radio pages| freedom, but license." http://homepage.netspaceonline.com/~ka0rny/ | -- John Milton
