Re: Video capture
Are you talking digital cameras or digital video? My experience is more with digital cameras, like the Sony DFW-SX900. I had been looking at Broadcast2000 for video, but I think that went away over fears of legal action if it allowed people to copy DVDs. I think the apps mentioned on the linux1394 site seem good. BTW, be sure to get an OHCI-type firewire card as the use of DMA is best implemented for this type of card. They are the most common, so the chances are that this is what you would find anyway.

Re: address info / ldap question
The Netscape AddressBook will output an LDIF file, which is the interchange format for LDAP. You need not type in these files by hand. I have not found another tool for making these files. I was playing with how well they really work in practice. The problem as I see it is that LDIF is a bit like XML in the sense that you can put lots of information in the file that can be properly parsed (syntax is understood), but the meanings of the fields seems to be somewhat non-standard. Case in point: I entered information in Netscape, including a 'given name'. I saved it to an LDIF file. Well, K mail claims to be able to read LDIF files, so I tried that. While many fields did show up in K Mail's address book, the 'given name' did not. I suspect that Kmail and Netscape use a different key for this basic essential parameter. I really do not want to enter all this info only to find that the keys are wrong. OK, I can do a global replace in an editor, but should this be the case? Also, kmail is not the openldap server. Maybe it will like the file created by Netscape better. Not that far yet.

Hi Roger ! Have you tried Novell eDirectory ? I find that it is eminently suitable in environments where the administrators are only familiar with Microsoft stuff (i.e. they need a GUI) , or when the database administrator or sysadmin needs to get up to speed quickly on LDAP. eDirectory runs on Linux, and no, you do not need Netware in your server or anywhere in your network, in order for it to run. It is actually the latest incarnation of NDS and it comes with ConsoleOne, a graphical administration utility. I've written a StepByStep for it. It's quite extensible, and I've found that it is very close to OpenLDAP. I've written an LDIF file that could be imported into OpenLDAP and eDirectory with no modification. If you need to write LDAP applications, Novell provides a Java library that I tested successfully against both OpenLDAP and eDirectory.

Re: Question
barring fancier options, you could use xwd, which comes with X. if you're looking for a gui tool, i think there's ksnapshot (assumign that you have KDE installed), and xv also can do this. I dont' think that XFCE includes any native tools for this though. On Fri, 14 Mar 2003, Rick Sivernell wrote: List I need to take a picture of my desk top, tried printscreen with ctrl shit alt keys.

MainFrame Style HEx Dump
Anyone know of a good Mainframe Style hex dump Program. These are the ones in which there were 4 rows of information on each line - Row 1 was the byte number (ie 11.2) the second and third row was the hex Code (example letter A would be 41, four on top, one on bottom ) and finaly, the actual character out. SO a sample dump would look like: 1 . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . . . 2 . . . . . . . . . 3 ...and so on 444244and so on 1234512345123450123456... and so on ABCDABCDEABCDE.ABCDEF . and so on Trying to do an import program for some ASCII data ...

Lame Startup Script for Gimp
#! /bin/sh cd ~/My\ Documents /usr/bin/gimp-1.2 This is the startup script for gimp as delivered to my lindows computer from the warehouse. This is a debian system. This script is called gimp. So, you start the thang with the command gimp. Problem is, no options can be passed to the program with this script. So, adding $@ to the last line of the script, things work as they were planned by the gimp designers. Pity the poor people who can't read bash scripts. Joel P.S. Still loving this system. No permissions (running as root), no hardware problems, and the software mostly works. No crashes except when xine and doom crashed it and made me reinstall. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
