Hi,
I'm looking for a program which is able to display 24 bits
images. We are using a Sun Sparc equipped with Parallax
graphics board running X11.

Can any body tell me where the most significant bit of the total horizontal
width hides out on the Tseng Labs ET4000 with a 15/16/24 bit dac?
I am trying to use the 640x480x16M mode under unix (so i cant just call int 10h)I have a program which dumps the contents of the card registers under dos, but I
am not sure I trust it for the extended registers of the et4000.
Anyway, the problem is that in this mode, the Horizontal Total Register
(3d4h index0) is apparently set to 0x27, but 3d4h index 1 (the displayed clocks)
is set to 0xEF, so 0x27 is nonsense. A resonable value would be 0x0127 - so is
there a high bit, and if so, where is it?
Also, how does one set the video dot clock to the appropriate frequency ( and
what would be an appropriate frequency?). The documentation isn't really very
clear (tseng.txt from vgadoc2.zip from some ftp site) about this.
My card is a MegaVga/1024 1Mb card. Seems to have a Tseng Labs Bios (ver 8.05 I
think.) Works nicely under dos, and very well under unix (linux) in all the
non-hicolor modes. Great for running X-windows in up to 1152x900x256ni - if your
monitor will take it (only just in my case).
Please email the answer, as I can't read news very often.

I'm not sure if this is a big issue, but it seems to me like it
might be -- up till now, all >1g forces applied to the mirror and
its mounting (and nearly all =1g forces) have been applied along the
telescope's optical axis, and against the mirror's base. Reentry
would apply forces along roughly the same axis, but tending to pull
the mirror away from the mount, and the landing would apply on-edge
forces to both the mirror and mount. It could be that one or both
of these would not survive.

I am afraid you are mis-directed. NeXTSTEP is an operating system as opposed to
a package. I have read a little about it but since Steve Jobs does not seem to
have the marketing capabilities of Bill Gates my info. is limited. Probably why
the far inferior Windows NT is going to be more widely distributed (but that
is another flame-ridden story). Some of the innovative features of NeXTSTEP are
binary compatibility across platforms (eg you can just copy your program from
a Sparc to a PC and it would run, as opposed to buying the version of the package
ported to a PC), graphical object-oriented design (its all WSIWIG postscript),
supports parallel hetrogeneous processing, and best of all it is based around
the Mach micro-kernel so you can make it look like Unix with X, or DOS, or NT or
even VMS if you feel the need. No package out there comes even close. I hope
people will subscribe to the HyperKnowledge project and NeXTSTEP finally
takes off in my lifetime :-)

Insomnia is a known, but relatively infrequent, side-effect of
diphenhydramine.
For most people, this does not occur. On the other hand, most people
can build up a tolerance to an antihistamine with extended use.
(Allergy sufferers are often switched from one antihistamine to
another to avoid this.)

hello all- i have a problem with my micro solutions backpack- sometimes
it works, sometimes it doesnt. i will either start a backup, or
start a tape format, and at about 20 percent i get an error either saying
the tape is bad or the backup/format has aborted for an unknown reason.
if i turn everything off and wait a half hour it works fine. is it
because the tape backup is too warm? has anyone had similar experiences?

Well, just got all the parts replaced that needed replced
(sprokets+chain) and notice that engine still taps like it did before.
All our local 'experts' say it's the tappits that need some adjusting so
I am soon to attempt that. I would like any advice anyone had. I do
not have a shop manual but have read about the procedure in Chiltons and
in a few other places. Is there anything I need to be particularaly
carful of? Any problems anyone else has encountered?

I purchased a used 1988 Nissan 300ZX (non-turbo) last year. I had a
question on gear/rpm ratios. Right now in 5th @65mph I'm at
2600-2700 rpms. @70mph I'm at about 2900rpms. Is this about the
norm? I'm an auto neophyte so I'm just wondering if these are
the proper ranges? Somehow the rpm figures seem high. A friend of mine
just told me he can hit 60mph in 3rd on his 88 Chevy Beretta (2.8l V6.)
Also, anyone know the top speed attainable (@redline???) for this model Z?
(Not that I would try it but it would be an interesting factoid. :)
Thanx!

Absolute nonsense. The decision that was made was Pocklington's. He chose
20 mill over Gretzky. If Gretzky wasn't upset about not being able to win
a cup in LA then I submit that he wasn't worth the 20 mill.
How do you know what he thinks (or thought)? The only "thought" that I
can see that you have revealed is your own. You don't like Gretzky.
Big deal.
The real purpose of diving is not merely an attempt to draw a penalty. What
the player is trying to do is make the checkers keep their distance so the
ref won't be fooled. I can't imagine why anyone would expect someone like
Lemieux to change his game. Why don't you pick on 1 dimensional over-rated
type like Hull and Salami.

I had one and on three different motherboards it didn't work with NT and
in some cases DOS. I sent mine back, but it is my understanding that
on some systems such as Micronics motherboards it is necessary to
shut off the internal cache on the 486 to have it work.
I've yet to hear from someone running a 34F on any motherboard with
NT without shutting off the cache.
If you get one my advise it to be very sure you can return it first.

Didn't expect to find you in the Devil's role, Stephen, but these are
the times that try men's souls.
Nine months, as I understand it. No doubt this accounts for a
significant amount of the time as government efficiency in spending
our tax dollars would certainly seek its absolute minimum in such
an event. But my gut instinct says there is more at hand. It took
some careful preplanning to demonize D.K. to such an extent. The
attack meshes well with more restrictive gun control legislation
that seems to be the agenda of the day. It also fits a pattern of
increased government interference in personal religious beliefs.
[Randy Weaver is now on trial].
No quarrel here. The BIG BANG theory is always apt at appropriation
time. They just don't have to possess a single motive.
I certainly think publication of the warrant undermines the government's
case since it makes no claims of illegal action. Therefore the federal
judge had reason to seal it. But I am reminded of Senator Frank Church's
remark that "secrecy is the trademark of a totalitarian government."
There is rarely sufficient motive to seal a warrant in a nation of
free people.
How can I argue with irrefutable logic? I have long suspected that
the government has become a mindless machine and now you go and
confirm my worst fears! Has it become a BEAST that is programmed
simply to say "Kiss my toe and you get your piece of the pie?"
I suspect bugs in the program arise when agents or those who love
this critter have independent thoughts.
And watching Terminator II.

:Being a chronic HBsAg carrier does not necessarily mean the patient has chronic
:persistent anything. Persons who are chronic carriers may have no clinical,
:biochemical, or histologic evidence of liver disease, or they may have chronic
:persistent hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular
:carcinoma.
:
:Most cases of chronic persistent hepatitis (CPH) are probably the result of
:a viral infection, although in a good number of cases the cause cannot be
:determined. The diagnosis of CPH is made on the basis of liver biopsy. It
:consists of findings of portal inflammation, an intact periportal limiting
:plate, and on occasion isolated foci of intralobular necrosis. But in contrast
:to chronic active hepatitis (CAH) there is no periportal inflammation,
:bridging necrosis, or fibrosis.
:
:CPH has, indeed, an excellent prognosis. If I had to choose between CAH and
:CPH there is no question I would also choose CPH. However, as David pointed
:out, the distinction between the two is not as neat as some of us would have
:it. The histology can sometimes be pretty equivocal, with biopsies showing
:areas compatible with both CPH and CAH. Maybe it is a sampling problem. Maybe
:it is a continuum. I don't know.
Darn. Just when I think I understand something someone who knows the
pathology has to burst my bubble :-( We'd better not start talking about
glomerular diseases, then I'll really get depressed.
Seriously though, I wonder how someone with CPH would end up getting a
biopsy in the first place? My understanding (and feel free to correct me)
is that the enzymes are at worst mildly elevated, with overall normal
hepatic function. I would think that the only clue might be a history of
prior HepB infection and a positive HepB-sAg. Or is it indeed on a
continuum with CAH, and the distinction merely one of pathology and
prognosis, but otherwise identical clinical features?

You should be clear in your mind what your goal is. Two possible goals
are (1) maximizing you income from your program, and (2) minimizing
the number of illegal copies which get created. Accomplishing (2)
doesn't usually accomplish (1).
Most vendors have concluded that copy protection reduces the number of
normal legitimate sales by far more than it increase sales by virtue
of changing 'copiers' to 'purchasers', and hence merely reduces
revenue. Most legitimate buyers nowadays (including me) have had bad
experiences with copy protected products (e.g., hard to make a
legitimate backup, incompatabilties when new system on system upgrade,
etc.), and they won't touch them with a ten foot pole.

Ah-ha! I'm not alone at last! Which Sony do you have?? I have a
27"SXR (pre-XBR series, circa 1987). That damn thing used to
make noise like a mad-man. I had/have 2 separate problems...one being the
flyback, the other was the assembly where the windings of the yoke
came together.
First: I found by poking around the windings on that assembly,
the thing would make noise. I guess that there was enough of a potential
in that assembly to leak, so I sprayed it with a dielectric insulation
spray--I think it was urethane or acyrilic. That fixed it.
Second: Flyback...for the life of me, I can't isolate this one. If I
leave the cover off, the TV will be quiet. If I put the cover back on,
and let it heat up, it'll start to whine--kinda hard to solve with the
cover on!! :-(
A friend of mine who used to fix TV's says there might be a pin-hole
leak somewhere on the flyback. Usually it's surrounded by a bunch of
black dust/dirt.
I hope this is a start...if you find something out, let me know!

A typical Nazi/racist Armenian of 'ASALA/SDPA/ARF'. Can it be that
criminal/Nazi Armenians of ASALA/SDPA/ARF hate Muslims for ideological
reasons regardless of what they do? Between 1914 and 1920, your criminal
Armenian grandparents committed unheard-of crimes, resorted to all
conceivable methods of despotism, organized massacres, poured petrol
over babies and burned them, raped women and girls in front of their
parents who were bound hand and foot, took girls from their mothers
and fathers and appropriated personal property and real estate. And
today, they put Azeris in the most unbearable conditions any other
nation had ever known in history.

CORPSES LITTER HILLS IN KARABAKH
ANATOL LIEVEN COMES UNDER FIRE WHILE FLYING WITH AZERBAIJANI FORCES
TO INVESTIGATE THE MASS KILLINGS OF REFUGEES BY ARMENIAN TROOPS...
As we swooped low over the snow-covered hills of Nagorno-Karabagh we saw
the scattered corpses. Apparently, the refugees had been shot down as
they ran. An Azerbaijani film of the places we flew over, shown to
journalists afterwards, showed DOZENS OF CORPSES lying in various parts
of the hills.
The Azerbaijanis claim that AS MANY AS 1000 have died in a MASS KILLING
of AZERBAIJANIS fleeing from the town of Khodjaly, seized by Armenians
last week. A further 4,000 are believed to be wounded, frozen to death
or missing...
Seven of us squatted in the cabin of an Azerbaijani M24 attack helicopter
as we flew to investigate the claims of the mass killings. Suddenly there
was a thump against the underside of the aircraft, a red flash of tracer
ripped past the starboard wing, and the helicopter rocked sharply. We
swung round, and there was a deafening burst of fire from the cannon
under our wing as the helicopter crew returned fire.
We had been fired on from an Armenian anti-aircraft post. We swung round
again, tipped to starboard and appeared to dive straight down into a
valley. The brown earth swooped around our heads, the helicopter swung
round again and followed the contours of the ground. Our cannon fired
repeated blasts.
Later it emerged that a civilian helicopter that we had been escorting
had landed successfully at Nakhichevanik in the east of the disputed
enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, to pick up some of the dead. We had, in
fact, been attacked both by ground fire and by an Armenian helicopter.
I had seen the Armenian helicopter intermittently through the window,
its cannons firing, but had thought - mistakenly - that it was on
"our side". Our group of Western journalists had embarked on a
search-and-rescue flight that had become a combat mission.
Our flight consisted of the civilian passenger helicopter and two
M24 Soviet attack helicopters in the Azerbaijani service, nicknamed
flying crocodiles for their armour. Our party was in the second
crocodile. The civilian helicopter's job was to land in the mountains
and pick up bodies at sites of the mass killings. The attack helicopters
were there to give covering fire if necessary.
The operation showed a striking sign of the disintegration of the Soviet
armed forces because our pilot was a Russian officer. An Azerbaijani
official told us that there were now five former Soviet military
helicopters -and their pilots- fighting for Azerbaijan. "They have
signed contracts to fly for us," he said. The helicopter we engaged
in combat was most probably flown by a brother-officer of our Russian
pilot, but fighting for the Armenians.
We had taken off just before 5pm on Saturday from Agdam airfield, an
heated for the Armenian-controlled mountains of Karabakh, a sheer
white wall in the distance. The civilian helicopter picked up four
corpses, and it was during this and a previous mission that an
Azerbaijani cameraman filmed the several the several dozen bodies
on the hillsides. We then took off again in a hurry and speed back
towards Azerbaijani lines. Azerbaijani gunners on the last hill before
the plain - and safety - gazed up at us as we passed.
Back at the airfield in Agdam, we took a look the bodies the
civilian helicopter had picked up. Two old men a small girl were
covered with blood, their limbs contorted by the cold and rigor
mortis. They had been shot.
What did our Russian pilot think of the tragedy, our close shave,
and the war in Nagorno-Karabakh? He gave us CHEERFUL GRIN, POLITELY
DECLINED TO ANSWER QUES TIONS, AND MARCHED OFF TO HIS DINNER.

I've built xcoral on my system (SunOS 4.1.3, X11R5, Motif 1.2, OW 3.0)
and it builds fine, but when I run it, any child windows that xcoral
opens,
1) locks the mouse into the window area
2) doesn't accept any input from the mouse.
Needless to say, this is a pain in the ass, as I have to go find an
empty terminal to login and kill xcoral.
Is this a problem with OpenWindows or Motif? Is there a patch?

a large enough amount of stuff. I am willing to haggle.
I have thousands and thousands of other comics, so please let me know what
you've been looking for, and maybe I can help. Some titles I have posted
here don't list every issue I have of that title, I tried to save space.

IBM, Apple, Motorola Ready to Unwrap PowerPC 601 Processor
The wraps will come off the PowerPC 601 processor this week, as Motorola
Corp., IBM, and Apple Computer Inc. detail the results of their yearlong
effort. This first in a series of PowerPC processors will be a 32-bit
processor with a 64-bit memory interface, much like Intel Corp.'s
Pentium, with the capability of performing as many as three instructions
per clock cycle, according to sources familiar with the chip. Motorola
is expected to release the chip in volume by year end in two
configurations, running at 50 and 66 MHz with performance of 40 and 50
SPECint89 marks, respectively, sources said. Floating-point performance
for the 3.6-volt processors will be even better, as their SPECfp89
performance will be 60 and 80, respectively. The 601, a scaled-down
version of the Power 220 chip developed by IBM for its RS/6000
workstations, will also include a 32K single buffered cache on the chip
with protocols to support Motorola's 64-bit multiprocessor 88110 bus
built in. The chip, which is being designed initially to support the
Micro Channel Architecture, is bus independent, so vendors could develop
PowerPC- based systems using a number of different architectures,
including ISA, EISA, or Sun Microsystems Inc.'s S-bus design, one source
noted.
According to sources familiar with the development effort, Motorola has
been extremely successful in developing the PowerPC as an inexpensive
architecture, despite a complex design made up of more than 2.8 million
transistors using a 0.6-micron technology. Initial chips are expected to
be priced from $300 to $400 -- only slightly higher than Intel Corp.'s
486 processors -- but could be sold profitably for less than $100, one
source said.

A long time back (months), I think a similar question was asked....
A suggestion, in addition to Ed's list, was to put your windward knee out
away from the bike.
I tried it, and it seems to help, actually.

I knew when I posted that I was going to get into trouble. Now I suppose I
have to give /5 wheelie demos at the Spring Fling or something.
But you're right, John, it is a chain drive model. I think it goes around
the camshaft and up over the rocker arms or something. Stolen from an early
Spagthorpe design, according to urban legend.

Look, folks, I don't know what happened in Waco. I do not claim the BDs are
angels, I never did. Koresh may very well be the devil incarnate. I just
don't know. But I do know that I must question any single source of
information, such as we have here. And I must question even harder given that
it is single source at the insistance of that very government. What ever else
happened at WACO, that is perhaps the biggest evil done. And even more so in
light of the discrepencies turning up between the federal officials and the
state officials.
But what I really don't understand is the hoards of devoted government
worshipers who believe the government could not possibly do any wrong. They
are fanatic to the point of making things up, such as Brent's microwave oven
disclaim of the BD's using fire for food heating.
I am hard pressed to see any real difference between the claimed power Koresh
held over the BDs, and the demonstrated power the government holds over those
rapid apologists.

When the bugs are splatting on the side of my helmet instead
of the faceshield. When semis are on their side in the downwind
ditch. When I can't see the road for all the tumbleweeds rolling
past. When the airborne sand/gravel is sandblasting my paint job.
When all of the above is happening at once in the middle of Wonderful
Wyldoming.
Well, it *WAS* gusting to 87 mph.

Serial cables:
There are only three output signals: TD, DTR, and RTS.
There are five inputs signals: RD, DSR, DCD, CTS, and RI.
There are many differnt null modem requiremts as dictated by the software.
The IBM BIOS requires asserts DTR and RTS and then waits for both DSR and
CTS before sending. When a BIOS recieve call is made, it asserts DTR and
waits for DSR to become true (times out after a while and returns with an
error if DSR never becomes true). It requires CTS to be true for sending
AND recieving. Most communications packages bypass this and replace it
with their own protocol. The key is that each comm. package could very
well have different requirements.
My favorite cable works in many cases: short RTS to CTS at each end, but
also run RTS through to DCD at the opposite end. TD runs through to RD
and DTR runs through to DSR from both DTE's and of course SG goes through
to SG.
I have never had trouble with this null modem even though I have used it
with a comm. package that was expecting RTS to go to CTS instead of DCD.
The advantage of this cable is that it also works with the IBM BIOS.

There has been a long running discussion over changing the Startup
logo for Windows for a few weeks here. While all the COPY methods are
great & haven't seen any mention of a program that will do it for
you.....
Well... I found one on CICA called winlogo (Can't remember where
unfortuantely), and it seems to work real well... even comes with a
couple example .RLE files.
What I'd really like though is a way to create .RLE files myself,
specifically the RLE4 format mentioned in the winlogo readme file. Can
anyone point me in the direction of such a beast with a REAL directory
path ?? All the ones I've seen mentioned didn't pan out.....

My original post:
Aha, I think I found the problem and it isn't dirt! Another guy here was
using a different kind of mouse and was using 640x400x16 video driver (the
default VGA for Windows). He has an S3 LocalBus card like I do and when I
loaded the S3 video driver in Windows for him, his mouse became jumpy too.
Seems like it is the S3 driver! Is there any newer one than version 1.4
that would solve this problem? It is really bad. I have to use the
keyboard instead sometimes! The s3-w31.zip on cica is version 1.4 (which is
the same version that came with my card).

Switzerland 10 6 7 - 23 5*2min
Switzerland beat Sweden in a WC for the first time since 1950, and the Swiss
now have a small chance of reaching the quarterfinals (if Austria beats
Italy tonight).
The Swiss took the lead after Hakan Ahlund made an incredibly stupid drop
pass at his own blue line, and Celio came in alone with Soderstrom and beat
Tommy to the stick side. The Swedes continued to make mistakes as Howald
was allowed to skate in between the Swedish D and put the puck past Tommy
to make it 0-2. 0-3 was a nice one, Howald entered the Swedish zone, slammed
on the breaks, and his shot went in by Tommy's far post. One of the lousiest
periods I've seen Sweden play this year.
Second period saw a new Swedish team, and the Swiss had to ice the puck many
times. On a pp, Nylander skated in from the boards, Pavoni made the initial
save, but Peter Andersson scored on the rebound. Then a power play goal
from the Swiss, a slap shot from the blue line hit two players on the way
to the goal and past Soderstrom also. Jonas Bergqvist made it 2-4 after a
nice pass from Naslund behind the goal. Jan Larsson reduced the lead to 3-4
just before the end of 2nd period, on a pp skated in unattacked in front of
the goal, and put the puck through Pavoni's 5-hole.
Third period, Sweden equalized on a slap shot from Renberg that trickled
through Pavoni's 5-hole. Then, another defensive mistake by the Swedes,
Waeger was allowed to skate around the Swedish goal unattacked and from close
range could make it 4-5. Hollenstein then scored 4-6 on a 2-on-1 break away,
and put it top shelf with no chance for Soderstrom.
Switzerland:
Goaltender: 20 Reto Pavoni (28 Renatio Tosio)
Defense: 26 Rick Tschumi, 2 Martin Steinegger
16 Sven Leuenberger, 5 Martin Rauch

RUSSIA - CANADA 1-3 (0-2,1-1,0-0)
1st: CAN 0-1 Kevin Dineen 1 (Garry Galley) 4:28
CAN 0-2 Paul Kariya 2 (Eric Lindros) 12:20 (pp)
2nd: CAN 0-3 Eric Lindros 10 (Paul Kariya,Shayne Corson) 9:40
RUS 1-3 Valeri Karpov 2 (?) 16:24
3rd:
Penalties: RUS 2*2min 1*5min, CAN 5*2min
Referee: Anton Danko, Czech republic
Attendance: 8,600
Russia probably made their best game of the tourney, but yet there wasn't
enough to win against the effective Canadians.
Galley took a slap shot that found Dineen by the far post, and Dineen just
deflected the puck past Trefilov in the Russian goal. Then a power play
goal, after a couple of deflections Eric Lindros found Kariya alone by the
far post, and Kariya put the puck high over a sliding Trefilov.
Russia won the shots in the first period 12-5, and they had the most of
the scoring opportunities, but they just couldn't score.
Second period saw Lindros scoring his 10th (!!) goal of the WC. Kariya
entered the Russian zone, slammed on the break to get past his defenseman,
then made a nice pass to Corson who just got the stick on the puck to
deflect it to Lindros who one-timed the puck.
The Russians then finally got their goal, Karpov broke in from the side
and made a slap shot in Tugnutt's top right hand corner.
Player of the game in Canada was voted Paul Kariya, and for Russia Valeri
Karpov. I agree, the difference in this game was Lindros and Kariya, and
in part also Tugnutt. Kariya had a far better game now than vs the Swedes,
and he was very impressive. Kariya got the place in the line with Lindros
after Mike Gartner went out with a rib-injury early in the first period.
Lindros, BTW, lead the point scoring with 14 pts (9+5) before this game,
7 pts ahead of the next player! i.e. double as much as the next player
(among those Kariya with 1+6). Amazing!

Does anyone know of any studies done on the long-term health effects of a
man's vasectomy on his female partner?
I've seen plenty of study results about vasectomy's effects on men's health,
but what about women?
For example, might the wife of a vasectomized man become more at risk for,
say, cervical cancer? Adverse effects from sperm antibodies? Changes in the
vagina's pH? Yeast or bacterial infections?
Outside of study results, how about informed speculation?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Arthur Melnick posts an interesting first-hand message about his NEA
algorithm. Though I have no reason to disbelieve anything he says, I want to
clarify one point:
He says he has no connection with the NSA. If he was part of an "NSA plot",
of course he'd say that.
Now I don't think he is. But the level of some discussion here is of that
sort, and very quickly we reach the point where it's impossible to continue
rationally discussing some issues.
"I am not a crook"
"Well, if you were, of course you'd say that"
or the ever popular favorite:
"Please prove the following negative."
I don't know what to do with such messages, so I have taken to ignoring
them.
Comments?

Hmm your CD-Rom program must be using some oddball VGA modes.
I think they are trying to get it out by the end of this month, when
it is released though it'll be in limited quantities, I think they
have quite a back order right now (the 2 megs version will come out
a bit later).
Since you have a Viewsonic 17 (I think it has a 78khz horizontal
frequency right?), you're gonna love the 2 megs version. It can
do 1280x1024x256 at 75Hz, 1152x900x256 at 80Hz, 1024x768x256 at 90Hz(!),
1024x768x65536 at 75Hz. It can also do 640x480x16 mil. and
800x600x16 bit at 90Hz, too bad I don't have such a high bandwidth
monitor like yours ;) ;) (most of those modes need a 78khz monitor,
otherwise you'll have to use a lower refresh rate)
If you want more info. about the coming Graphite VL, you should
go to the IBM hardware section on Compuserve (IBMHW), in the
video sig. There're several Hercules reps there that are very
helpful.

I'm afriad that's not true. The monitor problem seems to occur whenever
the 15" Mag monitor is put into 1024x768 mode. I'm running OS/2 at 1024 and
the same symptoms appear.
It does not seem like a video card problem as the Cirrus Logic 5426 chip and
the ATI GUP seem to cause these problems... two VERY different cards.

How about the discussion of the STS Tether experiment. Ran forward,
it would suck energy from the Earth's magnetic field, while trivially
slowing the Shuttle. It could also have run backward -- if they ran
electricity through the tether the other way, it would have trivially
propelled the Shuttle faster.
But an even better example comes to mind. There's this electronics guy,
someone like Craig Anderton or Don Lancaster. Ten years ago he wrote about
an invention of his. He could take a light-detector, run current through
it at about a hundred times its rating, and it would glow. He got legal
rights to this design of a combination "fiber optic emitter/receiver". This
turned out to be the basic unit of ATT's (I think) plan to bring Brazil's
communications system into the 21st century. (The article was mostly about
his legal wranglings with the company that eventually got him well-compensated
for his invention.)

anyone else experiencing a similar problem?
This concerns the clutch on a 92 Honda Accord 5 speed. When the clutch
is first used in the morning, about the first 4 miles of shifting, there
is a significant amount of clutch chatter until things warm up. Then the
clutch shifts smoothly. This chatter started when I moved to the San
Francisco Bay area from a low-humidity environment. The dealer stated
that this is known to happen since Honda changed from an asbestos to
non-asbestos clutch material. No remedy!! Seems that moisture on clutch
surface causes slipping until the moisture evaporates.

Marcus Thuresson had 6 goals, 10 assists, 16 points and 22 PIM in 31 games
this season for Leksand in the Swedish elite league. This was only 10th
in point scoring for Leksand.
Marcus (born May 31 1971, Ht 185 cm, Wt 85 kg) is relatively young so he
might still start producing, but I think the Sharks may have done a bad
trade here.

He'll slam Clinton for anything at all on the air. I just do not
understand why he remains so popular. He'll take a piece of video of
Clinton walking along; find a frame in which Clinton wrinkles his
nose, say; freeze on it and blow it up full screen; and then rant for
five minutes on how no one could possibly trust someone with such a
face and such beady greedy little eyes. I've seen this on his TV show
(it was around the time of the inauguration). Can anyone call this
stuff legitimate (I hate to say "informed") commentary? How can
anyone with half a brain in his or her head[1] continue to watch
it[2]?
The American TV-watching (and I guess radio-listening) public never
ceases to amaze me.

channel-surfing late at night; the longest I've been able to stand
him was about 10 minutes.

don't carry, and we don't carry those. Also I removed sci.crypt from

In <May.13.02.31.16.1993.1569@geneva.rutgers.edu> djohnson@cs.ucsd.edu
I'm afraid I see that question as very tendentious. Try rephrasing it:
What's more important to Christians? Love of God or love
of other human beings?
to which of course the only conceivable answer is that the one is like
the other. I am *deeply* suspicious of any "flavor" of Christianity
which would elevate one clause of the Great Commandment to a "priority"
over the other such as to claim a conflict. True, we are told to let
the dead bury the dead, to "hate" family rather than let it keep us from
following Christ. But the dichotomy here is not one between love of our
fellows and love of God, but of allowing *social* constructs to blind us
to the presense of God. It is particularly satanic to twist love of God
in such a manner as to become an excuse to treat others as on a different
level than the one who is so caught up in "love" of God.
The trouble comes in the relation of human love and human sex. Yes, it
has sometimes been the case that the Church has "taught" that all sex
was nasty, evil, sinful stuff. But when man and wife leave their parental
homes to become helpmates, living in one flesh, it is the sex that is the
vehicle of becoming "one flesh" (if you doubt me, read St. Paul on what
is wrong with frequenting prostitutes :-)). Less provocatively, what I
mean is just this: sexual bonding is a deeply founded aspect of our social
interaction, and in particular is the foundation of the institution of
marriage, so that unlike with many mammals, human males remain with and
foster the children they beget and support their children's mothers.
This is the schema behind Genesis 2:18-24 (and behind Jesus' citation of
that passage.)
[ I observe, by the way, that not all human males in fact do as
I have just described; but another thing that characterizes
human societies is our raising of *non*begotten children, not
only orphans and adoptees and the like, but products of the
quite common infidelities of humans to their spouses. We are
in this not unique in the animal world, but the full extent of
social consequences and implications is most intricate for us. ]
Yes, of course it sometimes goes "wrong" -- like all else we do, it is
infected with sin, and you find married "couples" where there is no bond,
and people so deliriously addicted to the initial stages of sexual bond
formation (the "infatuation", "falling in love" phase) that they break
any forming bond in order to keep stepping over the threshold of the deep
unity God has prepared for us, and stepping back out again right away.
Satan may indeed *use* sex as a very handy tool to corrupt human love --
but in the Edenic creation, that is not its nature, and with God's grace
under the power of Christ to make all things new it need not be a problem
for Christians (though we must be vigilant, even in Christ, as the devil
is watchful, prowling around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour.)
So, returning to the original question, what is more important to STRAIGHT
Christians? Sex, or Christianity? Paul, clearly, tended to think that
sex was at best a distraction from Christianity (though to be charitable
to him, his context was in expectation of immediate parousia, so that the
hard TASKS of a married union -- the lifelong building and adaptation to
each other -- seemed somehow to undercut the "proper" preparation for an
immediate eschaton. Since we *do not* know the hour of return, we should
act *both* with instant readiness for that *and* with a commitiment to our
mates that proposes a long lifetime together. And telling people *not* to
bond in such a perspective strikes me as crippling us in the second clause
of the the commandment to love. I would claim that only a very few saints
have the CAPACITY to deeply love (without sexual tinges or complication,
mind you) their fellow human beings unless they have had a deeply spiritual
life in married union growing together as one flesh -- and that means in
the type case, with a persistent and continued sexual relationship. We
are human, and little good comes of trying to "mortify the flesh" to the
point of pretending to be otherwise, pretending NOT to be sexual beings.
It depends entirely on context. If that context is major hypocrisy
on the part of those who find us "stumbling blocks" I am much less of
a mind to efface myself so that they can pontificate about MY sins.
There are some people for whom a life of celibacy is a spritual gift,
and maybe even a victory against a to-them troubling sexual urge that
seems to them to lead only to sin. Nothing I say should ever be read
as demeaning such a gift. Nor the even rarer gift of love for all our
conspecifics, and indeed for all God's creation, that can develop to
the full *without* the tutoring of a spousal/helpmate marriage founded
in sex. But there is a difference between spiritual gifts and penance;
telling people that they HAVE to have a particular gift (or else? what?)
is fraught with manipulation and disregard of the differences of our
spiritual endowments from God. To one person is given the gift of
speaking in toungues, to another intepretation of toungues; to yet
another prophecy; and to still another teaching. The notion that some
*particular* gift is required of *all* is one of the earliest heresies.

Several replies to my post have said that I should get to know
Christian homosexuals before judging them. I maintain that I was not
judging them by saying that homosexuality is wrong. I would like to
look at the responces to my post and make a general sterotypical
evaluation of the people who responded to the side of Christianity
and homosexuality being compatible (admitedly not all are homosexuals
but I know that many are from their e-mail responces). I don't
normally make sterotypical assumptions about groups of people, but
since I have been asked to by many of the opposing veiw point I will.
So far people have made wild assumptions, put me down because I don't
have the resources of others, and even reverted to name calling. If
you don't think this is an acurate representation then those of you
who are homosexual Christians show me the diffrence.

In the interest of accuracy (seems a liitle late to start
that, I know) the medical examiner has *not* contradicted
the FBI.
The FBI said they found some folks who had been shot in
the head, and the medical examiner said "we have not seen
evidence of this".
At the time the medical examiner said that, they were dealing
with charred bodies in the compound - this sounds like
typical medical examiner not releasing details until
a thorough investigation. The medical examiner saying
he hasn't seen something is *not* the same thing as saying
that it isn't there.

For an expansion team? I'm pretty sure I would go with the rings, as long
as their salaries and ages weren't too high. I would want the fans to be
able to identify the players. I would like a championship attitude in the
clubhouse.
As for Larkin and Griffin? Salaries aside, I would have to consider which
player is likeliest to contribute to a WS victory. Past performance, age and
attitude would all be integral to my decision. I certainly wouldn't just
haul out my copy of Gillete and pick Larkin, as many others would. And,
unlike many others who post to this group, I hardly consider myself quali-
fied to make those kinds of decisions.
I have never been able to believe it about myself, to tell you the truth.
It's like banging your head against a stone wall.

Hey now,
I'm having the roughest time getting a company to cover
my new bike. Here are some details about her and me:
I'm:
single
23
riding with a clean record
a homeowner
a 'new' rider accoring to most companies
not a member of MSF or AMA yet
She's:
a '92 CBR600F2
got 150 miles
got temp plates still
one screamin' bitch of a ride...
Can you get me some ideas? We can take them to private
email to lower the noise on the net.
mrr3@po.cwru.edu is a good mail address. I need to
hear something soon so I can keep her on the road...
Thanks in advance,
Mark

This is historically incorrect. Early Zionist 'fighters' did indeed
target civilians. They made random attacks in Arab marketplaces,
killing innocent passers-by. Your assertion of the opposite is an
attempt to whitewash history. Anyone can read about the history of
the Zionist terrorists. A good book to start is the one by J. Bowyer
Bell, an expert in international terrorism. (His main interest is
Irish terrorism.)
AUTHOR: Bell, J. Bowyer, 1931-
TITLE: Terror out of Zion : Irgun Zvai Leumi, LEHI, and the Palestine
underground, 1929-1949 / J. Bowyer Bell.
PUB. INFO: New York : St. Martin's Press, c1977.
DESCRIPTION: xi, 374 p., [14] leaves of plates : ill., maps ; 24 cm.
SUBJECTS: *S1 Lohame herut Yisrael.
*S2 Irgun tsevai leumi.
*S3 Israel-Arab War, 1948-1949.
*S4 Jewish-Arab relations--1917-1949.
LC CALLNO: DS119.7.B382 1977
For completeness, Arab thuggery of the same period was also rampant,
and targeted chiefly Jewish civilians. Can anyone tell me what the
opposite of live and let live is?

I posted almost the same bad experience with Midwest Micro but our
%^*^&*^&* news program only sent one paragraph out of the middle. In
addition to the facts that:
(a) the modems (I had ordered two) wouldn't work as documented
and
(b) the tech person had NO CLUE as to how it should work,
it also turned out that:
(c) one of the two modems they sent was clearly USED but the techs
thought that was standard practice and
(d) the modems made all three of my floppy drives quit working and
my CMS250 tape drive start running away.
That they are incompetent is one thing, but that they sell used stuff
as new and won't even apologize for it is another. Stay away from
these crooks!

I applauded the Sabres for making the deal to get Fuhr, specifically because I
thought it would help them win at least one playoff series. However, I don't
think the Leafs can be faulted either...there is nothing to say that Felix
won't be winning playoff series by himself in years to come.
Anyway, does anybody else find it ironic that Fuhr is up against Moog? (or at
least he was until a guy named Alex showed up....:-) )

Hi, netters:
We have a problem with 'makedepend': it doesn't know how to correctly process
#if clause in C preprocessor statements. It evaluates everything to
true no matter what the conditionals are.
For example, makedepend chokes on one of X11 include files (as distributed
by Sun) - namely Xos.h:
#if !defined(SUNOS41) || defined(__STDC__)
# include <string.h>
# define index strchr
# define rindex strrchr
#else /* BSD && !__STDC__ */
# include <strings.h>
#endif /* !SUNOS41 || __STDC__ */
Here 'makedepend' evaluates both #if and corresponding #else statements
to 'true' and tries to open the file <strings.h> which doesn't exist
under Solaris2.
We also have a lot of #if statements in some of our legacy code.
We got and built 'makedepend' off the net - it didn't fix the problem.
In all fairness it should be noted that 'makdepend' man-page (Sun's
distribution) mentions this problem:
BUGS
If you do not have the source for cpp, the Berkeley C
preprocessor, then makedepend will be compiled in such a way
that all #if directives will evaluate to "true" regardless
of their actual value. This may cause the wrong #include
directives to be evaluated. Makedepend should simply have
its own parser written for #if expressions.
Has anybody come up with some solution/fix to 'makdepend' other than
WriteYourOwnParser... and willing to share it with us?
Since we often experience delays in our newsfeed - please reply
directly to my e-mail address -> I'll post a summary.

Feel free to patronize me all you like; I need the tips. :-)
Seriously, if you were insulted, I apologize.
People are sucking up to the government when they decide that ONLY the
things the government says are plausible. Especially if they refuse to
consider reasonable alternatives.
However, from what I saw plastered all over the TV news last night, it's
no longer necessary to be an "independent thinker" to depart from the
government's party line. It looks like our "independent press" may
actually be starting to be earn its clothes allowance. This, to me, is
a good sign. I hope it continues.
Independent thinkers question authority. In a situation where only one
set of facts are being presented, "coming to a conclusion" is not the
hallmark of an independent thinker unless it's coupled with the ability
to challenge those "facts" critically. The scientific method consists
of more than choosing the popular hypothesis; it's even more than choosing
between two hypotheses that other people have proposed.

This is no less logical than the assumption that if something is
_not_ in the Bible, then it _must not_ be done. But I don't really
think that's what he's saying anyway. See below.
What about the letter to Philemon? In it Paul at least hints that a
certain slave be released. Also, slavery in those times was not the
same as the type of slavery we had in the U.S. I think a better
comparison would be to indentured servitude. I don't really want to get
into a discussion on slavery. Anyway, although it does demonstrate your
point, I don't think it is relevent, because the original poster did not
say that absence of specific condemenation proves something is not
immoral.
Back to the original poster's assertion. He is not in fact making
the logical error of which you accuse him. He stated the fact that the
Bible does not say that babies cannot be baptized. Also, we know that
the Bible says that _everyone_ must be baptized to enter Heaven.
_Everyone_ includes infants, unless there is other Scripture to the
contrary, i.e. an exception. Since there is no exception listed in the
Bible, we must assume (to be on the safe side) that the Bible means what
it says, that _everyone_ must be baptized to enter Heaven. And so we
baptize infants.
To summarize, you accused the original poster of saying if something
is not forbidden by the Bible, then that proves it is OK; i.e. if
something cannot be disproven, it is true. He rather seemed to be
asserting that since the Bible does not forbid, _you cannot prove_,
using the Bible, that it is _not_ OK. There is a difference between
proving whether or not something can be proven or disproven (there are
theories on provability in the field of Logic, by the way) and actually
proving or disproving it. The other logical error we must avoid falling
into is the converse: that if something cannot be proven, then it is
false. This seems to be the error of many _sola scriptura_ believers.
I think the only thing that can be proven here is that one cannot use
Scripture alone to prove something either way about infant Baptism,
although the evidence seems to me to favor it.

John E. King (king@ctron.com) posts a whopping one liner:
* "The modern theory of evolution is so inadequate that it deserves to be *
* treated as a matter of faith." -- Francis Hitching *
I have a few points to make about the above posting.
1. Science is not based on and does not consist of "quotes" from either
real or alleged experts. Critical reasoning, evidence and (if possible)
experimentation are necessary. Creationists frequently display a massive
confusion about this by merely quoting both non-experts and experts alike
(some of the latter quotes are in fact false) and steadfastly refusing to
follow any kind of rigorous scientific procedure. This strongly suggests
that (a.) their claims completely lack any scientific merit and (b.) they
are aware of this fatal deficiency. Of course, you may not actually be a
creationist and this may not be your real intent.
2. You have failed to identify Hitching and the surrounding context of his
statement. Why is that? If Hitching is a scientific illiterate then the
quote would merely display his profound ignorance of evolutionary biology.
Creationists are frequently known to quote real scientists out of context
and to fabricate statements that they subsequently attribute to legitimate
scientists. Of course, you may not actually be a creationist and this may
not be your real intent.
3. Evidence supporting the alleged inadequacies of "the modern theory of
evolution" would be a much more powerful argument than a contextless one
line quote from an unidentified nobody. It is also important to note that
disproving biological evolution does not automatically prove some alternate
claims any more that disproving that the earth is shaped like a hockey puck
proves that it is a hyperbolic paraboloid. Creationists seem rather fond
of diving (head first) into this logical fallacy. Of course, you may not
actually be a creationist and this may not be your real intent.
4. Since evolution is central to virtually all of modern science, an attack
on evolution (either the fact or the theory) really represents an attack on
science. While the theory will unquestionably continue to evolve (B^) the
fact of evolution will not ever go away. Creationists lost the battle long
ago (more than 100 years in fact) but are simply too willfully ignorant and
irrational to acknowledge the fact. Of course, you may not actually be a
creationist and you may not really be that ignorant.
Warren Kurt vonRoeschlaub (kv07@IASTATE.EDU) asks:
* Neither I, nor Webster's has ever heard of Francis Hitchings. Who is he? *
I, like Hitchings, am not to be found in Webster's B^). Francis Hitchings
is a scientifically illiterate creationist (or perhaps he is just playing the
part of one) who wrote a quite ignorant book attacking evolution ("The Neck of
the Giraffe"). In that publication he quotes a creationist (Jean Sloat Morton)
using the standard invalid creationist probability argument that proteins could
not have formed by chance. Thus not only confusing abiogenesis with evolution
(the two are quite independent) but also concluding with a "non sequitur" (i.e.
the conclusion "does not follow"). [pp 70-71] Hitchings also misquotes Richard
Lewontin in an effort to support creationism. [pp 84]
Hitchings book was reviewed by National Park Service ecologist David Graber
in the Los Angeles Times (and repeated in the Oregonian). The article was
titled "`Giraffe' sticks scientific neck out too far". Excerpts include :
"Francis Hitchings is not a biologist." "He goes after Darwin like Mark
Antony after Brutus. He flips from scientific reasoning to mysticism and
pseudo-science with the sinuosity of a snake-oil salesman." "He suggests
a mystical `organizing principle' of life, using the similarity of organs
in different creatures as evidence [sic]."
Note that the last statement above is actually evidence FOR evolution not
against it. If John E. King is quoting from this reviewed book it wouldn't
surprise me much. It's also interesting that King had nothing to add (i.e.
he only posted a quote).

I had this problem when I initially installed my sound blaster pro and here's
what the tech support told me.
They told me to look for the files that are stated in the readme file from
the win31 subdirectory of the soudblaster directory. Now look in the system.ini
file and if any of them say device=xxxxxxx.386 than change it to
device=*xxxxxxx
Thats should work. Was your system.ini file erased for some reason? That would
be the only reason that I would think that Windoes is giving you the error now.

Somebody help me cure my poor computer before I go insane!
I have a problem with my 486 when running windows that appears
to be memory-related. It's actually not limited to windows, but
that's where it causes most of my problems. Ths machine's 486DX33,
8Meg RAM, 256Kcache, TRIDENT TVGA card, PAS-16 soundcard.
1) Windows runs REALLY, REALLY slow most of the time. Slower than
on my old 386SX16. Graphics draws/fills are slow, boots are slow,
applications are sluggish, dialog boxes take up to 15 seconds to appear.
(Note: some of my other non-windows applications do funny things that
appear to be related. Several run slow, my .mod player crashes the
system etc..)
2) Running Borland C++ 3.0 before running windows (or any of the other
programs) COMPLETELY fixes the problem. Windows will run as fast as
I've ever seen it run, easily 10 times faster for graphics than
when I don't run BC beforehand.
3) I don't have a memory manager installed in config.sys. Installing
emm386.exe does not fix the problem- it makes it worse. After emm386 is
installed, running BC will not fix the problem anymore.

It would be nice if someone here from the HST program was talking instead
of all the speculation that is going on here. From what I understand from
Dr. Frank Six of the Marshall Space Flight Center there is no insrmountable
problem in bringing HST back. IT was designed that way to begin with.
Also it is my understanding that the solar arrays WILL be one of the items
replaced on this mission. The originals were built by Brit Aerospace and
I think the new ones are too. I am currently working with the guys at MSFC
that are in charge is the HST power system, although I have not spoken with
them in a long time about HST.

Why are you here?
What is the purpose of Your life, do you think it's
just by chance you're in the family you are in and have the
friends you have?
Why do you think your searching? To fill the void that
exists in your life. Who do you think can fill that void

I suppose for the same reason that you do not believe in all the gods. Why
should any be any different? I use the same arguments to dismiss Koresh
as I do god. Tell me, then, why do you not believe that Koresh is the son
of god? By logic it is equally possible that Koresh is Jesus reborn.

I have seen Copper Bracelet by the name of Sabona created by Dr. John
Sorenson. I am looking for literature on the effectiveness of Copper
Bracelet in dealing with Arthritis.
I know in one case a 70-year old person developed bruise at the base of her
left thumb after wearing the copper bracelet on her left wrist for several
months. She was told the bruise is "normal" and would disappear.
Is the bruise reason to be concerned?
Should the person discontinued wearing the copper bracelet?
Could anyone kindly point me to literature on copper bracelet?
What are the other information on copper bracelet?
Your response would be very much appreciated.

If I get a chance I will ask them this weekend.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The words I have underlined are at the heart of the problem. A "quick
look" doesn't do justice to the depth of the book of Jeremiah. Having
studied the Jeremiah/Ezekial period solidly for over a year at one
stage of my life, I have to say that there is a great deal of underlying
theological meaning in the judgement prophesies. Let me make one point.
The clash between Jeremiah and the "false prophets" was primarily in
the theological realm. The "false prophets" understood their relatioship
to God to be based on the covenant that the Lord made with David. It is
possible to trace within the pages of the Old Testament who this covenant,
which was initially conditional on the continued obedience of David's
descendants, came to be viewed as an unconditional promise on the part
of the Lord to keep a descendant of David's upon the throne and to never
allow Jerusalem to subjegated by any foreign power. Jeremiah was not a
Judahite prophet. He was from Anathoth, across the border in what had formerly
been Israelite territory. When he came to prophesy, he came from the
theological background of the covenant the Lord had made with Israel
through Moses. The northern Kingdom had rejected the Davidic covenant
after the death of Solomon. His theology clashed with the theology of the
local prophets. It was out of a very deep understanding of the Mosaic
covenant and an actute awareness of international events that Jeremiah
spoke his prophesies. The "judgement prophesies" were deeply loaded with
theological meaning.
In my opinion, both the Portland earthquake prophesy and the David Wilkerson
"New York will burn" prophesy are froth and bubble compared to the majestic
theological depths of the Jeremiah prophesies.

Although the $1 billion scheme is a fantasy (it's an old canard in the space
business called "trolling for billionaires"), there is a good chance that a
much smaller program ($65 million) will pass the 103rd Congress. This is the
Back to the Moon bill, put together by the people who passed the Launch
Services Purchase Act. The bill would incent private companies to develop
lunar orbiters, with vendors selected on the basis of competitive bidding.
There is an aggregate cap on the bids of $65 million.
Having a single rich individual paying billions for lunar missions is probably
worse than having the government bankroll a $65 million program, as the Delta
Clipper program has shown (DC-X was funded by SDIO at $59 million). We have a
clear chance of making a lunar mission happen in this decade - as opposed to
simply wishing for our dreams to come true. Please support the Back to the
Moon bill.
For more information, please send E-mail with your U.S. postal service

However, batters didn't use to go for strolls after bad calls to the degree
they do now.
Everyone was told of the new emphasis on speeding up games. The rule that
Hirschbeck invoked has been in the books a long time.
Nobody, including Hirschbeck, ever said he was.
That's your (perhaps colored by your partisanship of the Braves)
perception. Hirschbeck's view was that Gant was heading off for a long
walk, and in accordance with his instructions concerning speeding games up,
directed him into the batter's box.
The point is, based on the rulebook and the umpires' instructions, it was
*not* an unreasonable request.
The Braves were already upset
Had Gant done as instructed, you wouldn't have remembered the name of the
umpire.

We've just recently upgraded our X11 to R5 and are now running into problems
with some of our applications that use Motif 1.1. It appears that pointer to
the widget being passed to the callback function (i.e., the "w" of
(w, client, call) ) is nil. The client and call pointers are okay in some
instances, but bogus in other instances.
We are running SunOS 4.1.2 on a Sun 4. After compiling X11R5 and all 23
patches (with the MotifBC flag set), we recompiled Motif and then we
recompiled the application.
Did we skip a step or leave something out? Is there a flag that we should
have used? Should we have left Motif alone?
Any answers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Last year, I was totally surprised when my annual physical disclosed an
inguinal hernia. I couldn't remember doing anything that would have
caused it. That is, I hadn't been lifting more than other people do,
and in fact probably somewhat less. Eventually the thing became more
painful and I had the repair operation.
This year I developed a pain on the other side. This turned out to be
another inguinal hernia. So I go back to the hospital Monday for
another fun 8-) operation.
I don't know of anything I'm doing to cause this to happen. I'm 38
years old and I don't think I'm old enough for things to start falling
apart like this. The surgeon who is doing the operation seems to
suspect a congenital weakness, but if so, why did it suddenly appear
when I was 37 and not really as active as I was when I was younger?
Does anyone know how to prevent a hernia, other than not lifting
anything? It's rare that I lift more than my 16-month-old or a sack
full of groceries, and you may have noticed that your typical grocery
sack is fairly small these days. Is there some sort of exercise that
will reduce the risk?
Of course, my wife thinks it's from sitting for long periods of time at
the computer, reading news...

Will I need special drivers for getting all this to work? Do they exist?
Basically, is this feasible, or should I expect to be getting a newer,

rewrite 'makedepend' to use 'cc -M' or 'gcc -M' or 'gcc -MM' (which is
the one I prefer, since system headers don't change that often) for
generating the actual dependencies. you'll still need to write the
parts that edit the actual Makefile. I think there's a program in the
Berkeley distributions called mkdep that will do essentially this.
