Mike, I too would be interested in why you don't consider it comparable. Comfort mostly. I have used dtcalc since the mid 90s and it fits like a old glove. I am use to its look and feel. Can't find a way to set the number of decimal places in galculator.. Note that galculator is not gnome-calculator. The latter can be started via Applications-Accessories-Calculator. The other is a project on SourceForge. Not sure what version of gnome-calculator is on your system, but on mine, you adjust the number of decimal places via an entry on the Calculator-Preferences popup. Stuff that a decade of use would resolve but then it will just change to something else. Its that old screwdriver in the tool chest that fits the hand just right even though the others have soft grip and high strength alloy. The old one gets all the use. Yup, fully understand. Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't any old dtcalc functionality that was missing in the latest gnome-calculator.

Re: [osol-discuss] Where is OpenSolaris 2010 release?
O.k. :) Guys, I can't understand indeed why the people waiting Indiana Release 2010.x just haven't built any release they like from Mercurial repository? AFAIK OpenSolaris building process is straightforward (sure, if you CAREFULLY follow the building instructions), moreover, BFU process has been deprecated for quite time in favour of upgrading from your local repository, as such, you can use pkg image-update usual way as if you're upgrading from http://pkg.opensolaris.org/[dev/]. So, what's the problem? People who use _DEVELOPMENT BY DEFINITION_ distribution of operating system are unable to cope with C compiler?-) Have I got a car for you, next time you're looking for one: http://www.treehugger.com/picture-is-worth-sum-car-parts.jpg Easy assembly.

It downloaded and started a screen with a black circle but nothing more happened. Doing the same on Windows XP launches the application and I can zoom in on different places at earth... So, why does a Java app work differently on OpenSolaris than on XP??? Do you have the same version of Java on both Windows XP and OpenSolaris?

[osol-discuss] 2Q: Changing user uid and going from DHCP-statis IP address.
Hi, I'm running OpenSolaris 2008.05 updated to build 94. I'd like to do two things: 1/ I'd like to be able to use rsync to copy my local home directory (/export/home/richb) to my networked home directory (/home/richb). The problem is that when OpenSolaris 2008.05 was installed it didn't offer me the option of setting a uid so I got assigned uid=101. My network uid for richb (via NIS) is 4224. What do I need to change/run to adjust my local one to match my networked one? 2/ When the machine was configured I just went with a DHCP IP address. I'd now like to change that over to a static IP address so that I can use VNC from home. I have had one assigned by our IT people. What do I need to change/run to swap over? Thanks. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
