since we're talking about comments and why /**/ is still useful,

consider:
|
|
|
|
class A
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|

|
public:
|
|
virtual void JustAMethod();
|
|
|
|
...
|

};
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* virtual */ void
|
|
A::JustAMethod()
|
|
{
|
|
// who cares what's in here..
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
the same holds for static methods, since they differ in that special
|
|
way from normal methods.
|
|
|
|
This is VERY useful to the reader, no header perusing should be required
|
|
just to read code. Particurlarly with syntax chroma-coding...
|
|
The former can't be done in the same fashion with // comenting.
|
|
thus, you'd end up with something like:
|
|
|
|
// virtual
|
|
void A::JustAMethod()
|
|
{
|
|
// who cares what's in here..
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
or something similar. Obviously its the same thing, essentially, but
|
|
its 'nice' to have function type/attributes on the same line...

I retrieved xvgr-2.09.tar.Z from export.lcs.mit.edu, edited

When I try to run xvgr, however, it crashes due to a floating point

When I issue an 'sz' on the remote system while inside the terminal window
|
|
("downloading") Seyon simply receives the file on the local system. There's
|
|
an "auto detect zmodem" button on one of the menus. Perhaps you don't have
|
|
it set? Give that a try.
|
|
|
|
To upload, you need to issue the 'sz' in Seyon's "shell" window. This wasn't
|
|
completely clear to me the first few times I tried uploading (I found an
|
|
obscure reference to this in the "help" within Seyon... in the section where
|
|
issuing shell commands within Seyon is discussed, an example happens to be the
|
|
issuing of 'sz'). I'm not sure what you need to do on the remote end, because
|
|
my online provider seems to have "auto detect zmodem" in effect so that when
|
|
I upload, the file just ends up in the current directory.

Good. I was about to go re-install my static libraries so that I could do this.
|
|
I got my curiosity piqued when this thread started, and tried it out. I'm
|
|
impressed. I had been using asedit, but this is better. The external
|
|
commands are better set up, and easier to configure. The split window
|
|
is a great feature, and the changable fonts (to any you have installed) is also
|
|
very nice. You can set any defaults you like on-the-fly. I don't know why
|
|
it's better to change configurations in $(HOME)/.nedit than in the app-defaults,
|
|
but it does work well.

What's great about the net is the benefit of the doubt that everyone gets by
|
|
default. Why do you people have to make everything a crusade? Why can't you

just lighten up? It's all just ones and zeros. It's not necessary to look

We fully intend to release Netscape for the most popular platforms, whether

they're "free" or not. I just haven't had time to install the OSes yet.

In the wee early hours of this morning, I was Linuxing away and my entire

It appears all my stuff is there but I cant do anything with it. I tried to

do a fsck but couldnt find it. I tried to mount, dismount, halt, shutdown.
|
|
Nothing seems to work. In fact, only mount and dismount are even found. This

may be a path issue but I am not sure.
|
|
|

The mount and dismount commands produce an error saying something about

: How can I use it with Linux ?
|
|
|
|
The answer is quite simple. You need a Linux compatible SCSI
|
|
interface (see the Hardware-HOWTO to see if yours is). My
|
|
Syquest drive shows up as /dev/sda since it is the only
|
|
SCSI drive I have. You'll have to create filesystems on your
|
|
cartridges, of course, but you do this just as if the
|
|
Syquest drive was a hard drive.
|
|
|
|
You may have to reconfigure/recompile the kernel to get the
|
|
SCSI support for your particular SCSI interface.

I understood the question as whether Windows would run in standard mode.
|
|
"Real mode" was nowhere mentioned by the original poster, but he/she might
|
|
have confused me.
|
|
Nevertheless I don't think it is worth it to wait for WINE (no slight to
|
|
the developers implied). If it only runs 'certified' apps, you probably
|
|
will find that even those don't run as well under WINE as under original
|
|
MS-Windows, but perhaps I am a cynic.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, Unix and X Windows fit me better than DOS & MS Windows, however
|
|
much applications exist under MS Windows. This is a very *personal*
|
|
observation and the next person may feel different.

If it doesn't cause too much trouble, I think it would be a good idea...
|
|
(And it shouldn't, if ncurses termcap.h is only used by ncurses. Same
|
|
goes for unctrl.h (nunctrl.h?)

Yeah, I meant for <ncurse/unctrl.h>; I thought (hoped) that gcc
|
|
would search /usr/local/include just like SunOS and other compilers.
|
|
(A quick check of the man page just now didn't reveal the answer)
|
|
Of course, even if it worked, it wouldn't be a general solution.

Then you are in the wrong newsgroup. And the developers need

This is no matter of support ! This is helping the development.

The message means you SHOULD NOT put something you want to boot in the
|
|
1024th cylinder or above. It's because your BIOS which control the
|
|
very initial boot process cannot access more than 1024 cylinders. But
|
|
after the inital phase is loaded, it's up to your OS to implement
|
|
routines to handle hard disk I/O. In linux, it's okay to use more than
|
|
1024 cylinders, but before linux can get started, you have to boot it,
|
|
and therefore the warning message.
|
|
|
|
As the partition cross over the 1024th cylinder mark, you will be very
|
|
confused, as sometime, you can boot off the partition, but sometimes,
|
|
just after a recompile, you may not boot linux. Because, sometime, your
|
|
linux image will be located before the 1024th cylinder, and everything
|
|
is fine, but a recompiled image may be placed outside the 1024th
|
|
cylinder. Just bear in mind the above, you can proceed.
|
|
|
|
That's my 2 cents.
