Re: [SLUG] Creating PDFs

2002-04-02 Thread $B%"%s%H%K!<(B $B%9%F%$%9(B

If you can print the page to a file(of type postscript).  Then you can use

ps2pdf

to convert from the postscript file to pdf

[SLUG] cvs question

2002-04-01 Thread $B%"%s%H%K!<(B $B%9%F%$%9(B

Hi Folks

CVS question.
I am working with some code which is contained in a cvs repository and am having a 
problem getting a new directory/file which someone else has created and added in there 
copy of the code.

Here is a better description:

Someone else has added a new directory and file(in the new directory).  When
I used 

cvs update

in my copy of the code I do not get the new directory and file and 

cvs diff 

in my copy of the code dosen't say that anything is missing(I was expecting it to say 
that my copy dosen't include the the directory and file that the other person checked 
in).

If I do 

cvs update directory name of the new directory

I get nothing returned,

[antony@ringo pages]$ cvs update adminPasswordChange 
[antony@ringo pages]$ 

But if I do


cvs update bogus non existent directory name

[antony@ringo pages]$ cvs update bogusDirName
cvs server: nothing known about bogusDirName -(1)

I get the message (1).  So presumably cvs knows about the new directory the 
other person has checked in.
Also, if I check out all the code in a different directory the new directory and file 
get checked out.

Question.
What options do I need to use with cvs to get the new directory/file pulled
down onto my local copy of the code?

Cheers

Tony

 Slug,
   Can anyone offer advice for the offline browsing of web sites, where I
 could download say the whole Sydney Morning Herald web site and then
 view it at my leisure later when not connected ?
 
   I've seen a reference to WWWOFFLE, but haven't tried it. Does anyone
 know any other solutions ?

Re: [SLUG] promote java

2002-04-01 Thread $B%"%s%H%K!<(B $B%9%F%$%9(B

 I am new to Java on Linux.
 Could some one promote a java-kit on Linux?

Suns J2SE 1.4 or 1.3.  If you want a fast compiler use jikes instead of the
one included with the Sun distribution.  Suns compiler is painfully slow.
I notice you have a tw address, jikes cannot display localized messages when
it is compiling, it can only handle some western character sets(how many I don't 
know). So 
if you want messages in Chinese(which may be more helpful?) when a program will not
compile switch back to Suns compiler and get messages in the current locale setting.

Use ant to automate the build process if you have a non trivial build process.

 (Is there such a slim kit which does not need the X-windows ?)

You can compile all programs without X(I think).  You will need X(use X-Framebuffer 
for a lightweight solution) to run 
applications
which require access to some graphics features, obviously GUI programs, but also some 
programs that while
they do not produce output on the screen, may use a graphic library.

[SLUG] Looking For Free SMTP/POP Account,Any Suggestions?

2002-03-21 Thread $B%"%s%H%K!<(B $B%9%F%$%9(B

Hello

I have been using yahoo for email using their smtp and pop accounts to send and 
receive my email.  Now they have said they will be stopping free access to this next 
month.  So now I am looking for another free email account somewhere which has smtp 
and pop access.  There is quite a few sites on the net where I can get an account, but 
I am not sure which one I should use.  I am looking for one which has been around for 
a while and not likely to fold up in the near future, and has capacity to store 5 meg 
or more of messages.  Suggestions anyone?

Thanks for your help.

Tony
