Online demo for Hspell 0.7 (and newer builds, when available)
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that a (somewhat slow) CGI interface to hspell is available at http://wassist.cs.technion.ac.il/~danken/cgi-bin/hspell.cgi?ling=on This online demonstration allows you to check out hspell even without installing it, in order to learn what you are missing. Notice, that if you choose to receive linguistic information for words, the sheer power of hspell's morphological analyzer will be unleashed. It will provide all known readings for each recognized Hebrew string, through hspell's -l option. For example, for the string , the noun (liver), adjective (heavy), imperative verb (respect!), and imagery (fabric-like), will show. This is the initial step in the long march for Hebrew automatic translation or text-to-speech application or intelligent text-searches.

Re: he-en dictionaries...
Hi, Sadly, as much as I can tell, there is no free hebrew dictionary. I search for one for quite a while in order to use it for a basis of the hspell word list. Since Nadav and myself failed to find such a word list, we sat down to write it from scratch. It would be very nice if somebody would add english description to each of the words that are available in the hspell distribution ( http://www.ivrix.org.il/spell-checker ). I do not plan to start doing it anytime soon, although it has very interesting implications, such as germinating a hebrew-english automated translation. I recall that someone (Didi?) converted the gratis dictionary of Babylon to a unix-compatible format, so this would be a more practical alley to walk by. Good luck! If you manage to find a good (and free) list of hebrew words (with, or without translations), I'll be happy to learn about it. -- Dan Kenigsberghttp://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~dankenICQ 162180901 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Announce: Hspell 0.4
The Kenigsberg Address == Four score and seven days ago my Unix mentor brought forth on this mailing list a new software, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are lousy spellers. Now we are engaged in a great effort, testing whether that software or any free software so conceived and so dedicated can long endure and reach revision 0.4. We are met on a great website http://www.ivrix.org.il/projects/spell-checker/ We have come to dedicate a portion of that website as a final resting place for the new version 0.4, created so that the nation might spell correctly. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what the new version did: * Some incorrect words purged or fixed, and many more words added: as many as 2,300 new base words and 60,000 inflections. * Shem Poal Natuy + Kinuy for all verbs, things like: , * Complete overhaul of the hspell homepage. the site now also contains small (~100K) signed RPMs. * New option for mixed Hebrew-English spellchecking. * In response to popular demand, long command line options were added. We here highly resolve that this software shall not have been written in vain - that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom - and that spell-checker of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

run dhcpcd in the background, even when disconnected?
When I boot my RH73, it runs dhcpcd that tries to find a dhcp server around and aquire an IP address for me. However, if I fail to connect to the LAN on time, dhcpcd fails and does not try again ever (unless I run it manually). I read from the dhcpcd manual that: dhcpcd will not fork into background until it gets a valid IP address in which case dhcpcd will return 0 to the parent process. In a case dhcpcd times out before receiving a valid IP address from DHCP server dhcpcd will return exit code 1 to the parent process. why is that? Isn't it more logical to hover around untill a server IS found? any idea how to cirumvent this?

It is so because otherwise you'll only cover one specific case and in
Unix world the writer of the program does not persume to tell you how to
use it, he is writing a tool for you to use in whatever suites you. Like
this for exmaple, that does what you want:
while { ! /sbin/dhcpcd; } ; do echo Retrying DHCP...; sleep 5; done
A process-creating loop with 5 secs latency instead of a recvfrom a udp socket?
sounds like a waste of resources. I still believe that the proper way was to add
an option to detach without waiting (or use 0 timeout for that). And it should
be the default for laptops, even though this is how MS OSs behave.
but I would probably add this one to my rc.local... yuck. Thanks.

Re: mounting iso9660 as rw

Minor correction and no real help - Re: Hebrew Under Kshowmail
Sorry I cannot help you with your question.
=?WINDOWS-1255?Q?=E0=E4=F8
It was explained to me that the header in question is encoded in
BASE64 MIME format. So, I dropped the issue, and went back to using
Kshowmail to watch the mailbox.
(Minor correction: the Q up there stands for for Quoted Printable. Had it been B
it would have stood for Base64. Sorry for being such a nag)
What I really wanted to say is that my Dec 18 2001 perl script for conversion of
this kind of headers is much uglier than my current one which I use to send
hebrew subject lines to my hebrew-disbaled cellphone:
sub tostring {
use MIME::Base64;
use MIME::QuotedPrint;
my $s = shift;
my @spl = split('\?', $s);
my ($raw, $charset, $enc, $str);
return $s if ($#spl != 4 || $spl[0] ne '=');
($_, $charset, $enc, $str) = @spl;
if ($enc eq 'Q') {
$raw = decode_qp($str)}

Re: Why USB disk on key is write protected
Hi I brought in and connect USB disk on key 32Mb device to Mandrake 8.1 machine.

resolver and named questions
Hi all, I am connected to the net by a slow dialup, and running a local named in order to speed-up repeated connection (my main dns is quite slow, too). If I ping google.com, the local named forwards a dns query, whose answer is kept in its cache for futuer attempts. However, I noticed that the entries in the cache die out quite quickly - if I ping google few minutes later I generate a dns query again. How can I extend the life time of the cached named entries? Another question is about the resolver. I tries to add my domain name to every address it fails to find. I would like to stop this behaviour which create ludicrous queries like www.gookle.com.localdomain. I tried empty domain and search lines in resolv.conf but it did not change anything.

Re: automatic script to access your own bank poalim account
I agree that accessing your account every hour is excessive. However, I do not consider checking on your account automatically every morning as an abuse. In fact, it keeps the customer more up-to-date, triggers him/her to take action more frequently, which in the end earns more money for the bank. Please use the script sensibly. And remember my exception to the GPL: you may not use the script against the will of the bank. If tomorrow they decide you cannot access the site more than 3 times in a fortnight, you must comply.

Re: [Slightly Off Topic] processor speed
I admit this is slightly Meaningless Numbers Calculus, but I have to measure a certain computational task, and come up with a number per architecture. I could use total process time, but dividing it with the processor speed to acquire a measure of total cpu cycles seems more appropriate. Returning to my problem, I can use /proc/cpuinfo (in fact, I am). However, on Sun/Alpha the best I can do is run psrinfo, but it is problematic since those systems are in some cases assymetric - and I cannot tell on which cpu my proccess is running.

On Linux, it is an official decision that instead of having dozens of system calls, or weird non-standard system calls returning even weirder data structures, or weird special kernel interfaces (routing sockets anyone?) that simple kernel information like that will only be available through the /proc/cpuinfo interface. What's wrong with that - how hard is to open this file and look for a newline followed by cpu MHz? The format of this file might changed in some future Linux release (the linux-kernel mailing list is always filled with fights on how to change /proc), but CPU speed is very non-portable anyway, so I don't see what problems this can cause you. Of course, it's possible to access the CPU directly and find the CPU's version string, but this is definitely not recommended (if at all possible) to do outside the kernel. Check the Linux kernel on how they do it, if you're interested. P.S.

I am not sure. it seems it should work, but it doesn't. Using

does the trick, apart from changing the font size. Of course, the
documentation of psfrag says it is bug-free, which is suspicious...
It says it as a joke... They say Well, of course we're kidding, and
more oppologies about the ugly postscript tricks they had to use.
The documentation (/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/psfrag/pfgguide.ps, at
least in Redhat 7.1) describes the replaced strings as tag words, composed
of unaccented letters and numbers. It probably wasn't meant for substring
substitution, but rather for you to use a word like, e.g., sinx inside
the figure, and then replace it by a nice latex sin(x).
The manual seems to suggest something even stricter: the tag should be
the entire string inside the parantheses before a show (or similar
commands) - perhaps it can't even be a word inside a bigger sentence!
Indeed. It says so clearly, and I quote PSfrag can only replace entire strings,
not just parts of one.
