The easiest solution is to use the patch I posted several months
|
|
ago and apply that to lmain.c. It closes the hole correctly and
|
|
doesn't require any extra wrapper commands.
|
|
|
|
Just to echo my disdain for binary-only distributions, I had a friend
|
|
who recently was forced to buy a Linux CD pretty much because the
|
|
spare CD I have was binary-only. So far the only people making money
|
|
off of Linux are the CD shops.

Sounds like it would run best with no window manager at all (or any other

Reeally what you should do is set the port speed to the highest possible
|
|
rate the the chip will support. If you have a UART 16550, then go ahead
|
|
and set it to 38400 (or even 56700??) Remember that a 14400 modem will do
|
|
compression and the such, and I have HEARD (never seen) that on good
|
|
days, when the moon is right, and so on, you _might_ get a throughput rate
|
|
of 56kB.
|
|
|
|
I run mine at 38400 with a UART 16550, and it works just fine.

I hear that linuxxdoom uses udp sockets, so term is a no-op.

First of all, thanks Dave.

I have some problems also with the sound: I have been said that there is
|

no music only effects (to confirm) In fact, I just hear garbage.
|
|
|
|
The pixel doubling, tripling, etc blur the window.
|
|
|
|
When using the Ctrl-Key (FIRE) at the same time than the arrows, I switch
|
|
to the other rooms (screens). The only way out of this is to run Olwm instead
|
|
of fvwm or others mwm like.
|
|
|
|
The network part seems to not be compatible with SGIxdoom. Hope it will be
|

in the future.

I patched my registered version 1.2 to 1.666 but the file is not recognized

If WP is going to give away software, why not give it to those of

us that paid for the development? Like me, I have bought it, DOS

and Unix, since DOS 4.2. Looks silly doesn't it, they should make

sell more? If they give it away, they aren't going to be able to
|
|
sell any more. And if they give to you when I'm the one that paid to
|
|
see it written, are you going to give them a job? You can write your

own editor; WordPerfect is for business. And if you need it for

business, shame on you for wanting to sell another's labor as your own.

virus spreads on boot floppys.

when the key gets of 0x0ff it then

Now how do you expect to be protected from that???

some ppl do run dos and linux...

Yes. The 34F is the fastest SCSI card I've ever used with Linux, including the

new VESA BusLogics (the BusLogics have other features that recommend them, tho.

The 445S, for example, is an excellent card, but a tad slower than the 34F and

somewhat more expensive.)

This would not be related to the 34F. It certainly never happened with mine...

Ultrastor is gone, true. However, Adaptec offers no support for Linux either.
|
|
So long as the Ultrastor arrives functional, you get equal support from either :)

It will read the data as it stands.

|

|

Why? Most udp programs work with term. I'm willing to bet that if
|
|
linuxxdoom was compiled with -include /usr/local/src/term/termnet.h
|
|
and -ltermnet it would work with no modifications to the source code.
|
|
In fact I've been thinking of editing the binary to change the library
|
|
references, but since I've nevered tried editing a binary before I'm
|
|
not sure if I'll be successfull. Changing the jump addresses is easy, but
|
|
I don't know if I can selectively change the library name being referenced.

Please do not post questions to comp.os.linux.misc - read on for details of
|
|
which groups you should read and post to.
|
|
|
|
Please do not crosspost anything between different groups of the comp.os.linux
|
|
hierarchy. See Matt Welsh's introduction to the hierarchy, posted weekly.
|
|
|
|
If you have a question about Linux you should get and read the Linux Frequently
|
|
Asked Questions with Answers list from sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/docs, or
|
|
from another Linux FTP site. It is also posted periodically to c.o.l.announce.
|
|
|
|
In particular, read the question `You still haven't answered my question!'
|
|
The FAQ will refer you to the Linux HOWTOs (more detailed descriptions of
|
|
particular topics) found in the HOWTO directory in the same place.
|
|
|
|
Then you should consider posting to comp.os.linux.help - not
|
|
comp.os.linux.misc.
|
|
|
|
Note that X Windows related questions should go to comp.windows.x.i386unix, and
|
|
that non-Linux-specific Unix questions should go to comp.unix.questions.
|
|
Please read the FAQs for these groups before posting - look on rtfm.mit.edu in
|
|
/pub/usenet/news.answers/Intel-Unix-X-faq and .../unix-faq.
|
|
|
|
Only if you have a posting that is not more appropriate for one of the other
|
|
Linux groups - ie it is not a question, not about the future development of
|
|
Linux, not an announcement or bug report and not about system administration -
|
|
should you post to comp.os.linux.misc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Comments on this posting are welcomed - please email me !

Are you using version 2.90-2 of the sound driver. Sound effects
|
|
will be about a second late with earlier versions.
