DJ was a popular player in San Diego, Derek Bell was not faring well in the
clubhouse at Toronto, so no matter how bad he looks now I still think it
was a steal for the Jays just from the perspective of team chemistry.
No statistic can describe it (sorry statheads) and since there are so many
new faces in the clubhouse I think the Jays are still trying to find it.
(Insert the same comment into the Jack Morris v. Clemens WS Ring string)
Yet at first I was sad to see Derek go, still anticipating all of the talent
they raved about at the beginning of last season. I'm glad to see him
faring well for the Padres though.

Yes, it is possible. I'm making a 7 stepper controller board,
with 7 digital inputs, and (up to) 18 digital outputs from the // port.
One main thing that will tell you whether the // port is
bi-directional or not is the bus tranceiver on it. Look for a chip
numbered 74LS245. If you don't have this, then it's probably a 74LS244,
which will do you NO good for reading in.
Now, if you do have the '245 then do the following:
First, find the address of the port, (decimal) either 888, or 632.
In pascal, you would "Write(Port[xxx]);" where xxx is the address in
either hex or decimal. The status lines, pins 14, 16, 17, as well as the
strobe, pin 1, are bi-directional lines, and are read by base address +2,
so for 888, to read from status, then read from 890. You can also output
to these lines in the same fashion as to the data lines. In pascal,
do "Port[xxx]:=value
".
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you need more help.

A weekly dialogue with a local pastor on the news of the day
by Carl (Gene) Wilkes
Startext: MC344578
CompuServe: 70423,600
Internet: 70423.600@compuserve.com
-= THIS WEEK'S THOUGHTS =-
Last week the Supreme Court refused without comment to hear an
appeal by Rensselaer, IN, school officials desiring the
distribution of Bibles in their public schools (REL65, 5/21). A
lower court had banned the local Gideons, an international Bible-
distribution group, from passing out Bibles to fifth-graders. The
ACLU's Barry Lynn was quoted as saying that the court's action
protected the "religious neutrality of our public schools." He also
said that schools must serve students of "all faiths and none."
Schools were not to be a "bazaar where rival religious groups
compete for converts," according to Lynn.
Several Gideons, men who are responsible for putting Bibles in
hospitals and hotels, are members of our church. They tell of
similar stories where they are only allowed to distribute Bibles on
sidewalks around the schools, but cannot go inside the schools.
They tell of mild harassment by parents who do not want their
children receiving a Bible from a stranger. They are willing to
continue their work at a distance, but find the school's position
somewhat disheartening.
I understand rationally and logically the court's position. And, I
can see the sense of fairness for all groups. But, on the other
hand, when does "neutrality" become "nihilism?" When does plurality
turn into no position at all?
I see a couple of ironies here. One is that we can pass out condoms
but not Bibles in our schools. Think on that one for a moment.
The other is that while we are seeking "religious neutrality" in
our schools, countries like Russia--who, by the way, practiced
"religious neutrality" for the past seventy years--are making the
Bible part of their public school curriculum. When I was in St.
Petersburg in March, the church we worked with had trained over 100
public school teachers to teach the Bible, and the government had
requested hundreds more! I recently heard a medical doctor who is
president of the Gideon chapter in Moscow tell how they are eagerly
invited to the University of Moscow to distribute Bibles to the
students and are given class time to explain its contents. I
remember seeing a photograph of this doctor holding a Bible and
speaking to the university students standing under a statue of
Lenin. Now, that's ironic!
I admit two things: 1) We are a pluralistic society, and all faiths
have equal footing. This is what our country was founded on. 2) To
allow every group on school grounds could create a bazaar-like
atmosphere. Each city must work to be inclusive of all religions
and provide a hearing for them. 3)--I know I said two--The vitality
of religious faith is not dependent upon whether or not the public
arena acknowledges it as valid.
However--and you knew this was coming--I believe, disallowing the
distribution of the Bible by law-abiding, caring adults in our
schools only signals once again our culture's movement away from a
singular base from which we as individuals and as a nation can make
moral and ethical decisions.
What do you think?

Good column [re: TIME coverstory about teen sexuality]; I agree
with moral education from home, but some homes don't have the kinds
of morals I want taught. One family I worked with smoked dope as
their primary family activity. Another acted like incest was OK.
Families, no matter where they are, are often a lot sicker than
we'd like to believe.
From: John Hightower, MC 407602
John,
I agree that the "home" ain't what it used to be, and some homes
are NOT the place to learn value-based sexuality. I still believe
that this is where the church can come into play. I know, those
families you speak of may not come to a church to seek information,
but the help does not need to be in a church building...I believe
that the youth from the families you mentioned will probably
disregard the value-free information at school, too.

Wait a minute. The story being pushed here is that the fire started
in ONE PLACE. This is not consistent with the story that they were
TRAPPED by the fire (particularly in a building that all of a sudden
had many more exits).
Choose one, please.
Well, for everyone besides Koresh and his blood children, we can
assume independent choice: Ah, they chose to stay in the face of
an assault which clearly endangered their lives. Or, alternatively,
they were not permitted to leave. Choose one.

Let me remind all of those Muslim-haters out there who like to
mention the Mufti's cooperation with Germany as a reason to let Muslims
be slaughtered everywhere in the world of the following facts:
1)Why blame the Muslims for what the Nazis did and FORGIVE ITALY, THE CROATS,
AND MANY OTHER EUROPEANS FOR BEING REAL ALLIES TO HITLER?
2)Why blame Muslims for supporting Germany the enemy of their enemy
at the time (Britain who colonized most of the middle east and was responsible
for most atrocities against Muslims in the region) and FORGIVE GERMANY ITSELF
EVENTHOUGH IT IS THE ONE WHO CREATED NAZISM?
3)As far as Muslims are concerned : THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
NAZI GERMANY, AND ANTIMUSLIM COLONIALIST BRITAIN/FRANCE IN 1940. They were
all racist, anti-arab, and full of arrogance and hate. WWII and the wars
in ALgeria, Sudan, and other places proved that very clearly. Even anti-
semitism was not more spread in Germany than in France or Britain, it just
happened to be official policy in Germany.
And we will forgive you, just set our countries free.

I just removed an IDE drive and reformated two SCSI disk to use as boot disk
in a system that did run Windows fine in 386 Enhanced Mode. Its a DX50 with 8
meg RAM, and an Adaptec 1542b with bios enabled. System runs fine and runs
Windows in standard mode fine, but it returns to the DOS prompt when trying
to run 386 mode. I've tried EMMExclude and SysROMBreakPoint. What gives??????

BadWindow is an X protocol error. If you write a custom error handler
which does not do "exit(1);" the error handler will return and let
your program carry on. So, using a XSetErrorHandler is the way to
go, but never mind the longjmp.

Prove it. I am an atheist. It doesn't mean I am for or against abortion.
An obvious effect of homosexuality is non-procreation. That, unlike your
statement, is a fact. Please prove that (a) homosexuality is defended as
means of population control, (b) being atheist causes you to hold these
beliefs. I defend homosexuality because (a) what people do with their
bodies is none of my business (b) I defend the equal rights of
all humans. Do you?
Define values. Prove your statement.
Prove your statement. Electrons are waves. Electrons are particles. I
believe in both. I have physical proof of both. I have no proof of god(tm)
only an ancient book. That is not indicative of the existence of a being
with omnipotence or omnipresence. And, by your own argument, christians
don't exist.
First of all, your earlier statements have absolutely nothing to do
with your question. Why did you post them? To show that athiests,
besides not existing (your view), are more humane than christians/other
religions?
Secondly I am very much for the control of population growth.
The logic that you cannot grasp indicates ignorance of contraception.
But of course, this is 'outlawed' (sometimes literally) by religion
since if it can't create more followers, it will die.

speaking of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin:
Yes. For examples of this in the writings of the early fathers, consider:
You alone and your Mother
are more beautiful than any others;
For there is no blemish in you,
nor any stains upon your Mother.
Who of my children
can compare in beauty to these?
-- St. Ephrem the Syrian, Nisibene Hymns, 27:8, around
A.D. 370
Lift me up not from Sara but from Mary, a Virgin not only undefiled
but a Virgin whom grace has made inviolate, free of every stain of sin.
-- St. Ambrose, "Commentary on Psalm 118", 22:30, ca. A.D. 388
There are many others.
No. We have, for instance:
Was there ever anyone of any breeding who dared to speak the name of
Holy Mary, and being questioned, did not immediately add, "the Virgin"?
... And to Holy Mary, Virgin is invariably added, for that Holy Woman
remains undefiled.
-- St. Epiphanus of Salamis, "Panacea against all heresies",
between A.D. 374-377.
We surely cannot deny that you were right in correcting the doctrine
about children of Mary ... For the Lord Jesus would not have chosen
to be born of a virgin if He had judged that she would be so incontinent
as to taint the birthplace of the Body of the Lord, home of the Eternal
King, with the seed of human intercourse. Anyone who proposes this is
merely proposing ... that Christ could not be born of a virgin.
-- Pope St. Siricius, Letter to Anysius, Bishop of
Thessalonica, A.D. 392
Note that St. Augustine's conversion to Christianity was in A.D. 387. I
don't know offhand when his election as bishop of Hippo was, but I'm quite
sure it was after 392. The belief in Mary's perpetual virginity originated
long before Augustine's time. We hold that it originated with the
Apostles.
Strictly speaking, however, Mary's perpetual virginity is independent
of her Immaculate Conception. Mary could have been Immaculately
Conceived and not remained a virgin; she could have remained a virgin
and not been Immaculately Conceived.
No. It has been held in the Church since ancient times that original
sin was transmitted at conception, when a person's life begins.
Biology had nothing to do with it. Prayerfully reflecting on the
truth of Mary's sinlessness, and the means by which God could have
achieved this, the Church arrived at the truth of the Immaculate
Conception. Thus, the Immaculate Conception is not a new doctrine,
but the logical result of our understanding of two old ones.
The celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception itself was
given by Pope Sixtus IV (1471-84) and the Feast was made a precept
feast of the Church by Pope Clement XI (1700-21).
No. First of all, Lourdes is private revelation, and doctrine is not
based on private revelation. The most that private revelation can do
is enhance and deepen our understanding of existing public revelation,
which ended with the death of St. John the Apostle.
Second, the "case for the doctrine" was irreformably sealed in 1854
with the ex cathedra promulgation of the Bull "Ineffabilis Deus" by
Pope Pius IX. This meant that the doctrine was formally recognized as
a dogma; a dogma, by definition, cannot change and is required to be
believed by the faithful.
The apparition at Lourdes happened in 1858, four years later. The most
that might be claimed is that Lourdes gave the infallible proclamation
of 1854 a sort of heavenly stamp of approval, but the Church has never
claimed that, nor shall she.
In Christ's Peace,
Brad Kaiser

Recently I got a case of Hot Shots '93 cards. Unfortunately I had
not planned on keeping all of them. I sort of got stuck with the
case. (I'm not going to mention any names, though.)
So, I am trying to sell off most or all (minus a set for myself).
If you have any interest in a set, a box, or any singles, please let
me know.
The set has 250 cards. Each card features a great looking woman in
various stages of dress. Some nude, semi-nude, lingerie, dressed.
99 percent are gorgeous, I feel.
There are 4 subsets:
Girl, Girl, Girls 1 through 9
Promo cards 251 through 259 (also numbered 1 of 9 through 9 of 9)
Emperor's All-Stars 269 through 277
Stripping Empress 260 through 268
Also, I am supposed to be getting some holograms soon as well.
Oh, and lastly, I have a very few error cards and a few cards
that were originally intended to be used as card #1, but the
company changed their mind. None of these cards are easy to get.
Anyway, if you have some interest in any of these cards, please
drop me a line, as I am most eager to sell a bunch off.
Oh, and if you are interested, I also have 1 set of Hot Shots '92
left, and about 2 sets of California Dreaming cards as well.
And lastly, I have promo cards for all of the cards I have
mentioned, and holograms as well. Not a lot, though.

Yep! I did one yesterday on my shaftie Vision... I should mention
that I had a pillon that helped rotate the bike over :-) . The wheelie was
the result of a necessarily agressive acceleration manouver through an
intersection (damn San Antonio cagers tend to be REALLY bad drivers).
However, I have done one by myself, it just takes a lot of

Hello,
Below I have the copy of some source I am using to setup a user-specified color-
map for X R11 V4. I am attempting to create user defined colors in terms of
RGB color ranges. The calls to XAllocColor prove ineffective.
Variables are defined are as follows:
int i, j, k, lut_index
color_type min_image, max_image;
color_type image Pixel_Value_Range, last_image, start, end, jump,
lut [ 512 ];
unsigned long pixel;
double red, green, blue;
/*
* Data structure used by color operations
*
typedef struct {
unsigned long pixel;
unsigned short red, green, blue;
char flags; /-* do_red, do_green, do_blue *-/
char pad;
} XColor;
***************/
XColor rgbcolor, hardwarecolor;
With color_type defined as { double red, double green, double blue }.
What I need to know is how to set [is it possible] the values in hardwarecolor
to work within the call to XAllocColor:
start.red = (int) 255 * min_image.red; /* 0..255 */
end.red = (int) 255 * max_image.red; /* 0..255 */
jump.red = (int) (( end.red - start.red ) / 7);
start.green = (int) 255 * min_image.green; /* 0..255 */
end.green = (int) 255 * max_image.green; /* 0..255 */
jump.green = (int) (( end.green - start.green ) / 7);
start.blue = (int) 255 * min_image.blue; /* 0..255 */
end.blue = (int) 255 * max_image.blue; /* 0..255 */
jump.blue = (int) (( end.blue - start.blue ) / 7);
lut_index = 0;
for (i=0; i<8; i++)
for (j=0; j<8; j++)
for (k=0; k<8; k++)
{
if ( i == 0 || jump.red < 1 )
lut [ lut_index ].red = start.red;
else
lut [ lut_index ].red = jump.red * i - 1;
if ( j == 0 || jump.green < 1 )
lut [ lut_index ].green = start.green;
else
lut [ lut_index ].green = jump.green * j - 1;
if ( k == 0 || jump.blue < 1 )
lut [ lut_index ].blue = start.blue;
else
lut [ lut_index ].blue = jump.blue* k - 1;
hardwarecolor.red = (short) lut [ lut_index ].red;
hardwarecolor.green = (short) lut [ lut_index ].green;
hardwarecolor.blue = (short) lut [ lut_index ].blue;
hardwarecolor.pixel = lut_index;
printf("HW1: i = %d : %d %d %d: pixel = %d \n", lut_index, hardwarecolor.red,
hardwarecolor.green, hardwarecolor.blue, hardwarecolor.pixel );
status = XAllocColor ( dpy, colormap, &hardwarecolor );
printf("HW2: i = %d: %d %d %d: pixel = %d \n", lut_index, hardwarecolor.red,
hardwarecolor.green, hardwarecolor.blue, hardwarecolor.pixel );
if ( status != 0 )
{
XSetForeground ( dpy, gc, hardwarecolor.pixel );
XFillRectangle ( dpy, win, gc, 1, 1, MAXCOLUMN, MAXROW );
XFlush ( dpy );
sleep (10);
printf("%d: %f %f %f at %d \n", lut_index, lut [ lut_index ].re
lut [ lut_index ].green, lut [ lut_index ].blue,
hardwarecolor.pixel );
}
lut_index = lut_index + 1;
}
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem.
Sincerely,
John F. Duggan

You deliberately deleted a line! I don't remember how wrote it, but I remember
what he wrote. He wrote
Happy 45 birth day of Israel!
and I worte:
Is this means that the number of the people have been killed by Israel are so
high that you can not keep the track of, or this is also a part of Zionism
ideology that you don't need to keep the track of the people you kill?
Just kill!

GSB> a 286 upgrade would probably cost about $50, 386 about $150 or so.
GSB> Coprocessors or accelerator cards would cost at least that much.
'Tis true! I just saw an add for 286/20 motherboards for $80. I have seen

Development of what? In-house apps? Maybe, but certainly not apps
to be sold on an open market. Statistics like that are laughable,
because they may simply mean that there are not enough shrink-wrapped
usable apps for UNIX and they have to be developed disproportionately
often as compared to the installed UNIX base.

I came across the following notice in the Denver Post classified secction
this morning (April 26, 1993):
\begin{quote}
NOTICE:
The Denver Post will no longer knowingly accept any advertisement to buy
or sell assault weapons. The Denver Post finds that the use of assault
weapons poses a threat to the health, safety, and security of its readers.
\end{quote}
Now I suppose the Post is within its rights to refuse such ads. However,
the second sentence is so noxious, I feel compelled to bring it to the
attention of the t.p.g/c.g readership.
I called the Post classified number (825-2525) and expressed my displeasure.
According to the supervisor I spoke to, the Post was reacting to public
complaints regarding the running of assult weapon ads. However, she said
the paper was keeping track of the reaction to the change in policy. I
strongly encourage Denver Post readers to call and make their feelings known.

The Colorado Daily recently reprinted the Wall Street Journal's article
on Paxton Quigley, including the nefarious little paragraph the Journal
tacked onto the end. After recieving much assistance from various T.P.G.
type folks, I wrote a letter to the editor criticizing this last paragraph,
and surprise, surprise, surprise, they published it. The text follows.
The Colorado Daily, btw, is the University of Colorado (Boulder) student
(I think) newspaper... not exactly a big coup, but every little bit, i guess...
(The title was the only thing they changed/added)
"Gun Stats"
The Daily recently reprinted an article from the
Wall Street Journal, primarily concerned with Paxton
Quigley, author of "Armed and Female." The article,
in turn, cites a misleading statistic that was originally
reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. The
article states, "A study... found that a gun in the home
was 43 times more likely to be used to kill its owner,
spouse, a friend, or child than to kill an intruder." This
is an often-quoted statistic, and it is misleading for sev-
eral reasons, outlined below:
The study gives the impression that, if you own a
gun, the likelihood that you will successfully use it to
defend yourself is less than that of the gun being turned
against you. The study, however, fails to take into
account cases where a law-abiding citizen uses a gun
to thwart a crime, without actually killing the perpe-
trator.
The study actually refers to 'acquaintances' rather
than 'friend'. This would include the friendly neigh-
borhood thug who shows up like clockwork, every
month, the second your grandmother cashes her social
security check. Possibly an acquaintance, but hardly a
friend.
The NEJM study is based on the immediate dis-
position of cases and fails to take into account cases
originally filed as homicides that were later ruled to be
self-defense. Especially considering the small sample
size (396), taking these events into account has a sub-
stantial effect on the 43:1 ratio quoted.
Criminologist Gary Kleck gives us a slightly dif-
erent statistic: a gun is 33 times more likely to be
used, successfully, by a private citizen against an
aggressor than it is to kill anyone at all. Further, per-
sons defending themselves from aggression by using a
gun fare better than those who resist vicimization by
some other means, or who offer no resistance at all.
Statistics available from the FBI and other agencies
also show that a gun is 245 times more likely to be
used by a non-criminal to defend against criminal threat
than to be used to commit criminal homicide, 535 times
more likely to be used to defend against a criminal
threat than to accidentally kill anybody, and 50 times
more likely to defend against criminal threat than to be
used to commit suicide.
It is well to keep in mind that nearly anything can
be proved by uncritical quotation of statistics. One has
to consider carefully what questions were asked by
those gathering the data before one can draw an accu-
rate conclusion from them.

It already happened as far as I know... I got some email about three
weeks ago saying it was coming, and sure enough, a week after that the
Duos dropped in price. I think the Duo 210 4/80 is now around
US$1,8xx.
The educational prices have dropped, and I imagine others as well, but
I haven't really checked around since I boycott the local NecroCenter

(missing the entire point of my post):
No joke.
No,_you_jumped to_that_conclusion. It's actually an argument as
to how to accomplish the societal good of discouraging drug use
without violating individual rights.
No. _You_missed the point. The point is, the "War On Drugs"
is a failure, and is counterproductive.
But, they are not free to be stupid and injure other people.
Admittedly, the fetal right-to-life is outside the scope of
this discussion. However, it's ridiculous to assert, as you
apparently do, that cocaine has_no effect_on the developing
fetal nervous system. Caffiene and nicotine have fetal effects
too, why should cocaine be any exception?
If you had read my article before writing your knee-jerk response
you would have seen that this is exactly what I advocated.
No shit, Sherlock.
[...]
Thank you. How could you have missed the point so utterly?
What_have_you been smoking?
Obviously, importers will not be buying drugs in the U.S., under
U.S. jurisdiction. Use your remaining brain cells.
O.K., I'll spell it out for you. "Barter economy" means that
drug users will be permitted to grow or synthesize chemically
anything they choose, or to buy it outside the U.S. and bring
it in, if it won't grow here. They will also be permitted to
trade with other drug users for drugs other than the ones they
themselves grow or manufacture. They will not, however be able
to legally sell their drugs for money. Both manufacture and
importation of noncommercial drugs will be taxed, to discourage
their use. "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"
Pardon me, but possession/use of these drugs is still a crime!
You cannot analogize the rates at which drug users would seek
treatment, and the comparative ease with which it could be
made available today, when these drugs are illegal to possess/use,
with what it would be were they_not_illegal to possess/use.
Decriminalizing possession and use makes treatment_much_easier.
Drug dealers are exploiting the weaknesses of those persons who
are prone to addiction, and as such, the drug users should be
left alone, not thrown in prison along with their victimizers.
Drug_dealers_are the criminals, and should be treated as such.
Drug addiction does not absolve you of responsiblity for your
criminal actions, however.
The drug test of an arrested suspect is voluntary, not coerced,
and does not therefore constitute violation of Amendment V.
Those convicted who are drug users, as evidenced by the test,
are in need of treatment for their problem. Institutionalization
of these adddicted criminals is, I would argue, the best way to
help them straighten out. If they refuse the test and are convicted,
their sentence can be appropriately harsher, since they, unlike the
addict, have no "excuse" for their crimes.
Why not? My objective is to discourage drug use_and_criminal
behavior. If fewer criminals do drugs out of fear of getting a
harsher sentence if they are convicted, why is that not a good
thing? If fewer drug dealers (who are still criminals, BTW)
can find victims, why is that not a good thing? If fewer drug
users, such as drunks, 'potheads,' etc., commit crimes out of
fear of being cut off from their sources of supply, why is that
not a good thing?
I'm certainly willing to debate my position.
You have to read it carefully though.

Hello,
a friend a mine has a commodore 386sx and we've put in that machine
a second harddisk, he now has 100+200 MB. But the problem is that
the 200MB harddisk isn't supported in the bios. Alas there's no user type
47 in the setup. At the moment we use it as a 193MB type but there are
getting bad blocks on the harddisk :-<. Question: who knows a solution to this?
I've seen a small program for this once in the BYTE, but I haven't been able
to find this. Would speedstor or diskmanager work for this, I used these
programs quite a lot in the XT-days, but I don't have these anymore, Seagate
used to ship diskmanager with each drive they sold.
Help will be greatly appreciated.

upon the model, size and original cost etc. I will also pay airmail postage
and packing. I am also happy to buy any old sci-fi related toys eg robots,
rocketships, micronauts etc... There is only one catch. I live in New
Zealand so you have to be willing to post the items there. I hop that
someone can help me out.

I would like to see his reasoning behind this. You may have gotten
"burned" by natural disaster prophecies down there, but that
does not mean that every natural disaster/judgement prophecy is
false. Take a quick look at the book of Jeremiah and it is obvious
that judgement prophecies can be valid. here in the US, it seems like
we might have more of a problem with positive prophecies, though I
am sure there may be a few people who are too into judgement.
Sometimes God does give words that are difficult to swallow. The
relative positiveness of a prophecy is not necesarily grounds to
dismiss it. Much of the OT is not happy stuff.

Buffalo is up 2-0 is the series with Boston, and the reason....Grant Fuhr ?
Fuhr is playoff hungry, and he's proving once again why they call him
money goaltender. Fuhr might not be one of the best goaltenders in the
league anymore (Statistically at least), but he's proving that he can
make the big save at the right time.
The Leafs should have kept Fuhr, and probably would have had a chance
against powerhouse Detroit. But again.......where was Andreychoke in game 1 ?

I have been using the JOIN command for many years now, mostly with good
success in duplicating unix-style file mounts. You will hear lots of
people cursing JOIN because they confuse it with the dos APPEND command
(a truely gnarly hack), but don't believe them. You also will hear
people saying that Microsoft recommends that you not use JOIN. But, in
Microsoft's Windows 4 Workgroups Resource toolkit, the following appears:
"JOIN, an MS-DOS utility, works fine with Windows for Workgroups 3.1 if
you do not change the state of the joined drives during a Windows for
Workgroups 3.1 session. This includes adding or removing joined drives
from within Windows for Workgroups. We recommend that you do not use
JOIN when running Windows Setup or Windows for Workgroups 3.1."
Within this caveat, JOIN appears to be valid under windows. However, I
have found a couple of applications that don't deal well with filesystems
that have been "mounted" using join.
In particular, the worst offender is Word for Windows 2.0x. It gets very
confused when you edit and then try to save a file on a joined drive. It
wants to create the saved file as ~NNNNN.tmp in the current dir, then
delete the old file and rename the ~NNNNN.tmp file to the *.doc file.
Unfortunately, WfW usually writes the ~NNNNN.tmp file in some idiotic
place other than the current directory (often in the root dir of the
joined filesystem, but not always). Then, after deleting the original
*.doc file, it can't find the ~NNNNN.tmp file to rename it. Unless you
search your disk systems, the document is gone.
I have also found subtle problems using the MKS toolkit from a DOS box
when JOINed filesystems are present. I used to join c:\temp with a 4meg
ramdisk, but MKS sometimes gets confused when doing an "ls" on the c:\temp
dir, and misses some files in the temp dir. (This is difficult to
reproduce, but it goes away totally when JOIN is not used.) I think
this is a Windows problem, rather than MKS's, since it works OK under raw
DOS.
So, I would suggest that you can use JOIN, but be aware that it may not
be as robust you would like.
Wouldn't it be real great to "mount" network drives (i.e. Z:) under the main
file tree, rather than having all those darned drive letters? Unfortunately,
JOIN won't let you do it. There was talk on the net about a simple patch
to let JOIN work on network drives, but I don't remember the source.
It's too bad the JOIN command is not better implemented, since it would
avoid using all those stupid drive letters. I realize that MessDos was
meant for casual, even ignorant users, so "mounting" all the drives in
one file tree might be confusing. But, it looks like MS is going to carry
this over into windows NT (another OS meant for casual, even igorant
users -- NOT!). With all it's old family system baggage, maybe MS needs
a recovery group so they can get on with life :-(.

How about the following scholarly source?
Source: Pierre Oberling, "The Road to Bellapais: The Turkish Cypriot
Exodus to Northern Cyprus", Social Science Monographs, Boulder,
1982, ISBN 88033-000-7.
Well, I am forced to disagree with you. The Greeks started massacring
the Turkish population on Cyprus in 1974. In 1974, Turkiye stepped into
Cyprus to preserve the lives of the Turkish population there. This is
nothing but a simple historical fact. Unfortunately, the intervention
was too late at least for some of the victims. Mass graves containing
numerous bodies of women and children already showed what fate had been
planned for a peaceful minority.
The people of Turkiye know quite well that Greece and the Greek Cypriots
will never abandon the idea of hellenizing Cyprus and will remain
eternally hopeful of uniting it with Greece, someday, whatever the
cost to the parties involved. The history speaks for itself. Greece was
the sole perpetrator of invasion on that island when it sent its troops
on July 15, 1974 in an attempt to topple the legitimate government of
Archibishop Makarios.
The release of Nikos Sampson, a member of EOKA [National Organization
of Cypriot Fighters] and a convicted terrorist, shows that the
'enosis' mentality continues to survive in Greece. One should not
forget that Sampson dedicated his life to annihilating the Turks
in Cyprus, committed murder to achieve this goal, and tried to
destroy the island's independence by annexing it to Greece. Of
course, the Greek governments will have to bear the consequences
for this irresponsible conduct.
Turkish Cypriots are simply seeking guarantees that will preclude a
repeat performance by the fanatical cadres of the Greeks' EOKA. If
such assurances are not perfectly implemented, there is every reason
to expect that the local Greeks will be misguided enough to perpetrate
their past mistakes. On such an occasion, the Turkish side may not find
it satisfactory to act with reluctance to go any further than before,
for it is unacceptable to remain always defensive against cyclical
vicious attacks. Therefore it would be better to have a true federation
of two separate sections living in obligatory peace, rather than another
armed confrontation that would be started by the Greeks and obligatorily
but decisively terminated by the Turks.
The present Greek government is trying to tyrannize the Turkish population
in western Thrace by forbidding it its ethnic and religious rights, which
were established through international treaties. One might be better
advised to remember that misadventures against Turkiye do not serve
Greece well.
An offer of membership in the European Common Market as bait for concessions
that may doom the Turks in Cyprus to extinction is not a viable course for
Greece or her friends. Neither Turkish lives nor Turkish honor has been
placed on the bidding block to be sold for commercial gain.

Adobe Streamline has been out four a couple of years. It does a much better
job than the autotracing functions which are built into illustration
programs. Of course, a higher resolution bitmap will produce a more
accurate trace. The problem that I've run into though, is that when it
creates a detailed trace, it produces WAY more points than are necessary.
If I trace something manually, I use many less es points. The problem
with this is it produces BIG files which slow everything down, especially
printing.

Hi all,
I've read the FAQ, I've fiddled around, but I am still having problems getting
my poor old HP9000/300 to let me input/display characters above 127. I have
the following in my .Xdefaults:
XTerm*Font : -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-iso8859-1
So I believe that I have the correct font selected to use in xterm. I have NOT
set my LC_CTYPE environment variable because whatever I put it, it tells me that
that locale is not supported (apparently we have no additional locales defined,
or at least, /lib/locale doesn't exist). I can get some of the characters
above 127 to print out, but they are not where I'd expect them -- for example,
Alt-v does not produce a u umlaut. This leads me to believe that the fault
lies with the stty settings, which are as follows:
speed 9600 baud; line = 0; susp <undef>; dsusp <undef>
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^K; swtch = ^@
eof = ^D; eol = ^@; min = 4; time = 0; stop = ^S; start = ^Q

I disagree. By converting to another religion, you certainly
do change your cultural identity, and lose that part of you which was
Jewish.
No, there is a serious cultural and religios difference
between renouncing the jewish god and accepting a new one. "Thou
shall have no other gods before me." Conversion is a violation of
this, atheism you might be able to wiggle around with.

where is your non-existent list of scholars and scholarly sources?
Here is mine:
"An appropriate analogy with the Jewish Holocaust might be the
systematic extermination of the entire Muslim population of
the independent republic of Armenia which consisted of at
least 30-40 percent of the population of that republic. The
memoirs of an Armenian army officer who participated in and
eye-witnessed these atrocities was published in the U.S. in
1926 with the title 'Men Are Like That.' Other references abound."
(Rachel A. Bortnick - The Jewish Times - June 21, 1990)
"In Soviet Armenia today there no longer exists a single Turkish soul.
It is in our power to tear away the veil of illusion that some of us
create for ourselves. It certainly is possible to severe the artificial
life-support system of an imagined 'ethnic purity' that some of us
falsely trust as the only structure that can support their heart beats
in this alien land."
(Sahak Melkonian - 1920 - "Preserving the Armenian purity")
"The crime of systematic cleansing by mass killing and extermination
of the Muslim population in Soviet Republic of Armenia, Karabag,
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an 'Islamic Holocaust' comparable to the
extermination of 2.5 million Muslims by the Armenian Government
during the WWI and of over 6 million European Jews during the WWII."
(Tovfik Kasimov - Azeri Leader - September 25, 1992)
"Today's ethnic cleansing policies by the Serbian dictatorship against
Croatians and Muslims of Yugoslavia, as well as the Soviet Republic
of Armenia's against the Muslim population of neighboring Azerbaijan,
are really no different in their aspirations than the genocide
perpetrated by the Armenian Government 78 years ago against the
Turkish and Kurdish Muslims and Sephardic Jews living in these
lands." (Cebbar Leygara - Kurdish Leader - October 13, 1992)

But, but, but... How does buying an external modem solve the problem
of wanting more than 2 serial devices at once? And since the PC
only supports two, why are you blaming a modem vendor for the
problem? I don't see how your experience could have been different
with any internal modem.

I have a friend with an original HP LaserJet. The nameplate does not
specify a number, but since the LJ II followed later, one assumes that he
has a LJ I. His problem is a tax program which requires a 17 cpi font to
print the forms properly.
This unit came to market in 2 versions. The plus version supported
dowloadable fonts. You can guess which one my friend has - the plain, not
the plus. The printer does though have a slot and he has a small selction
of cartridges including a 16.6 cpi - but none with a 17 cpi font.
Can anyone suggest a source for a cartridge with a 17 (or 18?) cpi font?
Alternatively, is an upgrade to the plus version available at reasonable
cost?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and into reality? First off, what
is the deal with your subject lines? Do you think that you are being funny?
Ha ha. What a developed sense of humor you have, I'm surprised they let you
out of the cage. Why don't we not talk about the "official" definition of
foreign aid and talk about where money is really spent. More money is spent
stationing troops in Germany (ie paying the troops, maintaining bases and equip,
etc) than in Israel. Plus, Israel does not ask the US to send troops to fight
her battles. If you look at the amount of money spent defending Korean
shipping lanes, Norway, and other trouble spots in the world, you will see that
aid to Israel - from a practical standpoint - is not that much. And so what -
so what if Israel gets the most (assuming I buy your feeble argument)? What
is your point? Do you not want to subsidize Israel? Well, you have two options
1) Start your own campaign, get elected as president, and then force congress
to cut all aid to Israel or 2) get the fuck out! If you don't like how this
country operates and can't change it then move to Iran or something.

While I wouldn't be too terribly impressed with anybody who got
to be paranoid based on either Usenet in general or Phill Hallam-Baker's
comments in general, you'd be surprised.
For most people, if you accuse them of something long enough and
loud enough, to enough people, they start to ask why they're bothering
to fight it.
If nothing you do will be considered right, why bother to do right?
It's pretty basic human nature.
What an amazing thing. I didn't realize that over a hundred million
gun owners all posted to tpg.
Even if *all* the posts in talk.politics.guns illustrated what
you say they illustrate, it would still only reflect the written
personas (which is often different from face-to-face) of a very, very
small and select group.
Anybody who seriously generalizes any attitudes or positions on
Usenet to the general population of any country either doesn't care
about accuracy or needs to have a few realities explained to them.
Speaking of which...
Most of the "readership" posts I've seen put the most read
newsgroups at about 160,000 readers, a number I have a feeling is
fairly inflated. The posters, rare and regular, are themseleves a
very tiny minority of that group. And the whole of Usenet readers
are themselves a very distorted sample of humanity.
If anything, the only real thing you can get out of the relative
sample of Usenet readers is that we've got too much equipment and too
much time available to us.
Proof that guns don't make you safer is that if you buy one the
government will show up and kill you?
Tell me, if the government took away the voting rights of
everybody who exercised their free speech, would that then be proof
that free speech squelches political activity?
You are equating two things with each other that don't.
Phill, if you really believe that the various posts on
computer nets represents *either* most of the poster's in person
personalities *or* the general public's general opinions, then
I have some serious reservations about your grasp on reality.
But don't expect you really do believe that. It's simply
a convenient way to make your point, and hopefully make those
people you don't like look bad.
Have a nice day, Phill.

Having in mind the size of the images, my opinion is to go with VLB.
It has _much_ more bandwith that EISA, which in fact can be utilized
by the craphics card. (I have not made measures, so someone else may
share experience on that.)
Also, the DX2/66 is faster in the operations, that run off internal
cache, slightly slower off the external and about the same off memory.
So my advice is the 66/VLB.
Have You tried running Photostyler without the cache? No need to have
paging and cache both. (Well, you might argue, that the paging is
cached). My belief (no measurements) is that apps left with more
memory will manage it better than smartdrv.exe(sys).
The bandwidth (theoretical) of ISA is over 5MB/s, which is far from
0.15MB/s. I tried my ISA IDE hard drive (Maxtor 213MB) and got the
same results - 0.65MB/s - regardless of the ISA bus speed
(5.5-8.25MHz). So I guess, that just the card/drivers combination is
lousy.
The rumors are that DX3-99 (if any) is the most likely chip to come
out. But note, that IBM is closest to the technology an it will only
sell whole motherboards, so you'll have to upgrade the MB.
Just some view, not much figures.

It's noteworthy that the posts about the west being

Could someone explain how to make sense of drag coefficients (i.e Cd) mentioned in magazines. I understand that lower numbers signify better aerodynamics but
what does this mean in the real world. Is there a way to calculate new top speeds(assuming the car is not rev limited at top speed) or mileage benefits if a identical car had the Cd reduced from .34 to .33.

Congress isn't forced to do ANYTHING. Not even follow their own rules,
if it isn't expedient. If caught with their collective pants down,
they make some funny noises, perhaps crucify a skapegoat or two, then
continue business as usual. I notice those senators involved with
the S&L Scandal weren't hurt too much, if at all. DeConcini's personal
stake in suppliers to those big Aerostats hasn't affected his credibility
at all, inside Congress, at least. He is still pushing his police state
agenda...
<The problem is that laws can change. Congress may pass a law setting

<future congress may change that law. Suppose pre-nazi Germany had

It will be like the old saw in New Jersey and New York, Chicago, etc
when the politicians PROMISED that this spiffy new gun registration law
will NOT be used for future confiscation purposes. Sure enough, a few
years later, when they WERE used JUST FOR THAT PURPOSE, and folks
complained, the response was "Well, *I* didn't make that promise..."
Some politicians may not even wait a few years... Escrowed keys would
have the same assurances of security. Besides, if someone wants to
snoop, how are YOU to know - you don't think they will send you a letter
saying "We are now snooping on your private conversations...", do you?
What are the assurances the escrow people will not be FORBIDDEN to
report any access attempts for one's keys?
So much for government assurances of privacy.
<In effect you must set up escrow agencies as a fourth branch of
<the goverment and isolate them from any outside interferance.
<They will be able to directly tap into Federal funds with no
<accountability to anyone except through a court challenge.
How? The Feds will just change the law, or just ignore it. Nothing
new here... They got the muscle, the resources, the guns...
As an aside, since export of crypto is verboten because of ITAR,
shouldn't the Second Amendment also come into play here?

My girlfriend just started taking this drug for her migranes. It really
helped her get through the rebound withdrawl when she got off analgesics.
She doesn't have a mail account, but asked me to forward this:
"Glaxo is the distributor; Imitrex is the drug's brand name. It works.
She can call her pharmacy for more info. The "miracle" drug has been used
for years in Europe and for some time in Canada. Trials in the U.S. were
completed and the drug hit the US market at the end of March. Some
pharmacies don't stock it yet. Presently it needs to be injected
subcutaneously; although testing is starting with a nasal spray form. It
mimics serotonin (its molecular structure that fits onto pain receptors
looks identical to serotonin on a model I saw)"

Oh horse puckey. Without their cop partner in attendance, they are less likely
to be controllable *without* the use of force which would kill the dog.
O.k. so you've disabled the dog's mouth, and given up use of your arm to do
so. How `bout them front and read paws, and the fact that to plug up that
mouth you've given the dog the advantage of balance...
Have you ever tried to snap leg or crush the skull of a dog without use of
hardened instruments such as a baseball bat? Without the use of both arms and
full cooperation of the beastie involved, it's not *that* easy. Oh, but wait,
you've got your arm shoved in the dogs mouth. You lose....
Oh *now* you qualify you earlier statement by saying a *trained* human.
Most people here have not been trained to deal with a dog that wants to maul
you. get a clue.

Does anybody have a data-sheet handly for the above-mentioned card? I
bought one, sans manual at a local surplus shop, and want to try it out
with the Crywyr packet driver suite.
The IRQ and interface-select jumpers are pretty straightforward, but I
don't grok the settings of W10-W18 (also labelled A15 through A18).
Could somebody tell me which settings of these four jumpers correspond
to what I/O addresses?
Is there anything else about this card I should know, before I
plug&play?

- I heard a story on the local sports news broadcast in Edmonton.
- Oiler owner Peter Pocklington will be holding a press conference
- next week. While the exact details are not known, it is believed
- to concern the Oiler's future.
-
- Rumour has it that Pocklington signed a tentative lease arrangement
- with Copps Collesium in Hamilton. During the press conference,
- Pocklington may announce the deal. It is quite possible that
- the deal may simply be a way to force Edmonton Northlands to
- renegotiate the Oiler lease on the stadium.
-
- Northlands has offered to buy the Oilers for $65 million earlier,
- but the offer was rejected immediately by Pocklington.
-
- As for me, my opinion is divided... Edmonton has been fairly
- supportive of the Oilers. Even though they're a small market
- team, they had many sellouts in the 80s. Even with the problems
- that the team had this year, they still brought in more fans
- than many teams in larger cities did. On the other hand, if
- the team does move, there is no place more deserving than
- Hamilton. Of course, how would that affect the grand
- realignment scheme of Bettman?
-
Following up on this, the provincial government has been asked by the
Opposition to block any deal that Pocklington is offering to Hamilton. The
government said that Pock is going nowhere!
Why don't I believe the government? Wasn't it Pocklington who wanted to be
Tory leader 9 years ago?

It's called PC-XWare. It is based on NCD-Ware, their X-terminal
software (which , IMHO, is excellent). PC-XWare will include
X-Remote and be optimized for 32 bit machines. It's X11R5 based.
It will support remote management, etc.
Not an NCD employee, just a fan :)

Silly boy! You read the rest of that jibberish! go back and read rule
#1.
OK, for the record, Spike is jointly owned. The registration says -or-
(Uhhh, what _does_ the title say, Beth?) Beth brought the ad to my
attention, I'd been half heartedly lusting after an SR500 for years. I
had successfully avioded buying it by rationalizing that I didn't need
to spend the $$ on it. Then Beth piped up with "I'll pay for half of
it!" I was beaten.
Watch it buddy! Both of those are fine rides! Beth loves riding
pillion on the Connie, true, the 'Ol Sport isn't her cup of tea (she
can't get it off of the side stand) but she agrees that it's a very
fine ride.
^^^^^^^
I'll buy that. I'll even loan you a quarter to buy a clue.

Hey Larry,
How can you be a comp sci major and never crash a damn computer.
What does your CS dept teach you...or are you just that good of a programmer
that not one of your assembly programs have ever downed your machine.
Why do you bother putting up such stupid posts...or are you that ignorant.

Seeing all these questions about uart types, their availability, and their
relative merits, wouldn't it be fine, if for internal highspeed modems there
were a mode of operation bypassing the dull and stupid uart interface and
instead accessing directly the relatively large send/receive buffers of the
modem, thus eliminating all problems with interrupt latencies ?
Just an idea,
