With an actual digital printing press? Or you don't look at it on the machine where it resides? TeX is used a lot for the communication of scientific etc papers; people distributing them need never see them. Only the original composer and the final reader need have display or printing capability, but middlemen might wish to process the TeX to something else. (la)tex - (appropriate backend) - postscript or pdf, then served by httpd or ftp. Often this can be automated on the httpd or ftp server. This might be a repository in an organization, or serving the general public. The document submitted might be viewed by the submitter remotely on his X-terminal. No need for X on the server. Shucks, even at home, I do tex/latex on a machine that doesn't run X. A (la)tex document's life doesn't end once it's composed -- I guess that's the gist of my comments. I think it's still possible to turn TeX into text, typeset for an vt100. Dave -- The future isn't what it used to be. -- G'kar
[patch] audio/grip crashes on sparc64
Hello,
recently I built grip from ports on my machine running -current. Shortly
after starting to rip a track grip crashes with a bus error.
gdb trace:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x56086e80 in g_convert_with_iconv ()
from /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.1600.0
#1 0x560870c8 in g_convert ()

#3 0x00123658 in __register_frame_info ()
#4 0x00123658 in __register_frame_info ()
Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
The only call of g_locale_from_utf8 is in src/launch.c
make complains about
launch.c: In function `ArgsToLocale':
launch.c:249: warning: passing arg 4 of `g_locale_from_utf8' from incompatible
pointer type
g_locale_from_utf8 is called with a pointer to int instead of to gsize.
The attached patch fixes this for me. Please test it on other archs and
commit it. I notified the maintainer, but he hadn't time to test this
yet.
Regards,
Markus

Re: [New] Stream Locomotive 3.03
Works here, cool refreshing waste of CPU time :o) The man page is garbled though, at least on my amd64. Maybe an encoding issue (could be Japanese)? Cheers, Roland syl wrote: Hi ports, Here is a port of sl 3.03. SL (Steam Locomotive) runs across your terminal when you type sl as you meant to type ls. It's just a joke command, and not useful at all. It works under i386 and amd64. Thanks, -- http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0xE84C528D http://poftwaresatent.net/ skype: poftwaresatent
