here's a suggestion:
|
|
|
|
Simply use one the various DOS-based archiving programs
|
|
(zip,lha,tar,etc) to store the files using 0 compression
|
|
(i'm assuming that they are already tar-gzipped, right :)
|
|
|
|
When you later extract these files on your Linux machine,
|
|
the original filenames will have remained intact.
|
|
|
|
...hope this helps

Amen to this! I'm happy to have this wonderful OS to play with, regardless of any
|
|
bugs! Bitching about free software, without helping to fix it, is like getting a
|
|
free meal and complaining about the service! (Tho, a bug that trashed a filesystem
|
|
without warning might justify a snarl or two :-)
|
|
|
|
People with the expertise and willingness to be free software developers are heroes,
|
|
IMHO, and deserve praise and support. Linux would be just a Minix-like toy without
|
|
their amazing collective efforts.

It's to the point now where American programmers and engineers are be-
|
|
coming dimly aware that there are other nations and languages, and that
|
|
people don't want to be constrained to using one language at a time.
|
|
But they just don't have enough familiarity with "foreign" input methods
|
|
& scripts for them to incorporate hooks for these languages into general-
|
|
ized interfaces. They're not dumb. It's just not part of their culture
|
|
or daily needs.
|
|
|
|
Apple has WorldScript. Other than them, I don't know any major vendor
|
|
who's really attacked this problem head on. I suspect that the complete
|
|
solution will come from overseas.

Had the same problems with the Mitsumi problem and Slackware. The boot disk
|
|
worked fine, but the kernal installed on the hard drive did not. The problem
|
|
was that the boot disk had a 1.0.9 (I think) kernal with the standard driver
|
|
compiled for IRQ 11 (which did not match the Mitsumi card's default setting),
|
|
while the installed kernal 1.1.18 had the extended driver, compiled for IRQ 10
|
|
(which does match Mitsumi's default). I started the install, saw the message
|
|
about not finding the Mitsumi, changed its IRQ, installed successfully, and
|
|
promptly forgot about it. A few days later, I needed to access the CD-ROM
|
|
under Linux, and spent an hour troubleshooting, before I noticed that the new
|
|
driver wanted IRQ 10 again.
|
|
|
|
Check for a similar occurance, before you switch to a possibly poorer driver.

Subject: gcc putting ptr in low memory (bug??)
|
|
Date: 17 Oct 1994 20:33:29 GMT
|
|
|
|
When building a program with the -g option gcc seems to be
|
|
placing a pointer in low memory causing a SEG violation. I
|
|
can see the pointer address is low and as soon as the program
|
|
attempts to write to that location I get the seg signal. The
|
|
problem only seems to exist when using the -g option. It's
|
|
only doing this with one pointer which is one of several. If
|
|
I move the pointer and make it global to the file the problem
|
|
moves to a different pointer?
|
|
|
|
I'm using gcc-2.6.0 (got it in Aug 94) Linux-1.1.52,
|
|
and Motif 1.2.4. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
|
|
Looks like a bug from what I can tell but I haven't been
|
|
programming in Unix very long. Any help would be appreciated!!!

|
|
2) What is the latest version of SLS (I tried the announce newsgroup,

but there were no announcements) - I am currently downloading v1.02?
|
|
3) I have a DOS system with plenty of DOS apps. Can I get the DOS emulator

(This started in c.o.l.development, D.R. Barlow redirected follups to

Based on the rate at which I go through problems on the software I'm

absolutely and unambiguously *not possible* for one person to go

|
|
Date: 17 Oct 1994 18:02:08 +0100
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I've finally got it working!
|
|
|
|
I have a 755C with 20Mb RAM, DOCK 1, 540Mb disk.
|
|
|
|
The problems I had were :
|
|
|
|
o The standard Slackware bootdisk doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
o The bootdisk didn't work either, because it wouldn't recognise my
|
|
hard disk. It barfed because it couldn't handle the size of the
|
|
disk.
|
|
|
|
o The standard Linux kernel sources don't support the reversed logic
|
|
of the disk-change sense line.
|
|
|
|
So, I created my own boot disk using a 1.1.50 kernel having modified the
|
|
sources to support the disk-change sense stuff properly. The sources
|
|
have changed greatly since 1.0.9 on which the (reversed) patches at
|
|
peipa.essex.ac.uk are based. They have changed again between 1.1.50 and
|
|
1.1.54, I notice.
|
|
|
|
The 1.1.50 drive correctly handled the 540Mb disk, with geometry specified
|
|
as 524,32,63 and I got everything installed from the standard Slackware
|
|
disks. Then it was just a case of putting copying the boot kernel onto
|
|
the hard disk and running lilo to get the machine to boot from the
|
|
hard disk.
|
|
|
|
I've now got the 1.1.54 kernel built with networking support built in,
|
|
and it's running quite happily on our network :-)
|
|
|
|
If anyone want's the bookdisk/kernel image, let me know and I'll put it
|
|
up for FTP somewhere.
|
|
|
|
James.

I sympathize with you (and Richard too). My proposal would have some kind of

basic multilingual support, or at least the hooks so that it could be added
|
|
on. But honestly in the multilingual crowds opinion is it possible to have
|
|
a text based multilingual support? My opinion from my limited understanding

is that it's probably not possible to do.
|
|
|
|
I'm coming to the conclusion that we're going to need multiple tools in order
|
|
to come close to solving everyone's problems:
|
|
|
|
1) A X based WYSIWYG English WordProcessor. EZ seems to fill this slot.
|
|
2) A X based WYSIWYG Multilingual WP. This product does not exist. Someone
|
|
must write it. I have no idea how feasible it is to do? Richard, Michael?
|
|
3) A text based, non WYSIWYG English WordProcessor. This is my proposed
|
|
application. It's definitely doable.
|
|
4) A text based, non WYSIWYG Multilingual WP. Is this possible?
|
|
|
|
Lastly we'll probably need a suite of conversion tools to convert existing
|
|
document formats into the formats for the above tools.
|
|
|
|
I'm almost convinced that one application cannot solve the whole problem.
|
|
I think we need to start thinking about splitting the job into multiple
|
|
tools. Let's separate the discussions by tagging the type:
|
|
|
|
(WYSIWYG, not ML)
|
|
(TEXT, not ML)
|
|
(WYSIWYG, ML)
|
|
(TEXT, ML)
|
|
|
|
in the subjects so that each group can focus on the type of WP needed instead
|
|
of arguing what features the supposed global WP needs.
|
|
|
|
We need them all people. There is no one true faith here.

Again I agree. For example, I DON'T ask that you learn all about the
|
|
complications of entering kanji (of whatever language). This is a very
|
|
difficult area and IMO no really satisfactory solutions have even been
|
|
invented yet (at least for entering Chinese and Japanese without learning
|
|
two different systems). Asking this would be unreasonable.
|
|
|
|
I do ask that you don't just go blindly ahead without thinking about
|
|
making the system flexible enough to handle multiple languages. I may
|
|
be naive, but I don't really think it is too difficult if this is done
|
|
at the beginning of the design. If you try to add it after the program
|
|
is done, though, it is just about impossible without rewriting the whole thing.
|
|
Actually all you need to do is use good programming practices and this
|
|
flexibility will come along for free.

I'm using Linux 1.1.52 and gcc2.6.0. I get the following
|
|
error when using xxgdb
|
|
'tcsetpgrp failed in terminal_inferior: Not a typewriter'
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know how to get rid of this? This also shows
|
|
up using mxgdb.
|
|
|
|
Has anyone been able to build mxgdb? I haven't been able
|
|
to build and use it, I do have the binary off sunsite but
|
|
I'd like to build it as well.
