The following is extracted from sumex-aim.stanford.edu. It should also be on
the mirrors. I think there is source for some applications that may have some
bearing on your project. Poke around the source directory. I've never used
this package, nor do I know anyone who did, but the price is right :-)
Hope this helps.

Subject: 3d GrafSys 1.21 in incoming directory
A 3d GrafSys short description follows:
Programmers 3D GrafSys Vers 1.21 now available.
Version 1.21 is mainly a bugfix for THINK C users. THIS VERSION
NOW RUNS WITH THINK C, I PROMISE! The Docs now contain a chapter for
C programmers on how to use the GrafSys. If you have problems, feel free
to contact me.
The other change is that I removed the FastPerfTrig calls from
the FPU version to make it run faster.
Those of you who don't know what all this is about, read on.
********
Programmers 3D GrafSys -- What it is:
-------------------------------------
Didn't you always have this great game in mind where you needed some way of
drawing three-dimensional scenes?
Didn't you always want to write this program that visualized the structure
of three-dimensional molecules?
And didn't the task of writing your 3D conversions routines keep you from
actually doing it?
Well if the answer to any of the above questions is 'Yes, but what has it to
do with this package???' , read on.
GrafSys is a THINK Pascal/C library that provides you with simple routines
for building, saving, loading (as resources), and manipulating
(independent rotating around arbitrary achses, translating and scaling)
three dimensional objects. Objects, not just simple single-line drawings.
GrafSys supports full 3D clipping, animation and some (primitive) hidden-
line/hidden-surface drawing with simple commands from within YOUR PROGRAM.
GrafSys also supports full eye control with both perspective and parallel
projections (If you can't understand a word, don't worry, this is just showing
off for those who know about it. The docs that come with it will try to explain
what it all means later on).
GrafSys provides a powerful interface to supply your own drawing routines with
data so you can use GrafSys to do the 3D transformations and your own routines
to do the actual drawing. (Note that GrafSys also provides drawing routines so
you don't have to worry about that if you don't want to)
GrafSys 1.11 comes in two versions. One for the 881 and 020 or above
processors. The other version uses fixed-point arithmetic and runs on any Mac.
Both versions are *100% source compatibel*.
GrafSys comes with an extensive manual that teaches you the fundamentals of 3D
graphics and how to use the package.
If demand is big enough I will convert the GrafSys to an object-class library.
However, I feelt that the way it is implemented now makes it easier to use for
a lot more people than the select 'OOP-Guild'.
GrafSys is free for any non-commercial usage. Read the documentation enclosed.

Hi there,
I'm having a bizarre video problem within Windows 3.1. I have a 286 with
a GVGA-16 video board. I've been using the standard Windows VGA driver
with other similarly configured computers.
I am thinking that my problem is with the way Windows refreshes it's screen.
The problem is that once Windows has been envoked, the colors start
changing themselves. At first I thought it was hardware, but if you open
a full screen DOS program from within the Windows session, you don't have
any problems until you get back to Windows - however, when you initially
return to Windows, the original colors get refreshed properly.
Also, it is not a uniform color change - so if you are in solitaire, the
design on the back of the card maintains it's original color scheme, but
the white fronts of the cards will turn grey, then blue, etc.
The color changes keep getting darker until finally everything is a dark
purple-ish black. If you pop out to DOS and exit back to Windows - the
screen gets refreshed again.
If I don't log into Windows and just do DOS things from the Novell
network, everything is fine.
I originally loaded the software by bouncing it down to the net from the
other machine I had just finished configuring, then from the net to this
machine. When I ran into problems, I deleted everything on this machine
and the net, and tried bouncing it again. When that didn't work, I tried
reloading Windows to no avail.
Any thoughts on things to check out? I am totally baffled!
Thanks in advance for any assistance and instruction!

The si has a single expansion slot, that can be either PDS or Nubus, but not
both together. The card lies parallel to and above the motherboard & HD and
requires an adaptor slot to do this. There are Nubus and PDS adaptort cards.
Thus, what kind of slots you have depends on what kind of adapter card you
have. With the exception of the Radius rocket, all NuBus cards I know of work
in the si. PDS slots and thus cards are Mac specific, thus not all PDS cards
work in all Macs.

While I cannot answer questions about running XDM over a DECnet, I can
say that the following defines must be added to the site.def before
building R5 before any X clients will work over a DECnet.
From site.def
#define ConnectionFlags -DTCPCONN -DUNIXCONN -DDNETCONN
#define ExtraLibraries -ldnet
Hoping this helps,

Do you really have *that* much information on him? Really?
I don't know. You tell me. What percentage of players reach or
exceed their MLE's *in their rookie season*? We're talking about
1993, you know.
If that were your purpose, maybe. Offerman spent 1992 getting
acclimated, if you will. The Dodgers as a team paid a big price
that season. Perhaps they will reap the benefits down the road.
Do you really think they would have done what they did if they
were competing for a pennant?
For a stat-head, I'm amazed that you put any credence in spring
training. Did you notice who he got those 10 (!) hits off of, or
are you going to tell me that it doesn't make a difference?
Wait a minute. I missed something here. First, forget Keith
Mitchell. Are you saying that a kid who moves from AA to AAA
and then does not improve would have been better off making a
direct leap to the majors? If a player does well at AA and then
does not improve at AAA, isn't that a sign that maybe he doesn't
belong in the bigs?
Now, Keith Mitchell. As I recall (no stat books handy - surprise!)
he jumped from AA to Atlanta in 1991. He did so well that he was
returned to the minors, where he didn't do very well at all. Now
his career is in jeopardy. So how does he fit in with your
point. Good MLE's in AA. Moved him right to the big club. Now
he's one step away from being traded or moved out of baseball.
Duh.
Well, I've cast my lot. Certainly you may understand better how
good Lopez is. And I may overvalue experience. But neither one
of us runs a baseball team.

While I don't mean to damn Henrik's attempt to be helpful here,
he's using a common misconception that should be corrected.
Mach banding will occur for any image. It is not the color
quantization you see when you don't have enough bits. It is the
human eye's response to transitions or edges between intensities.
The result is that colors near the transistion look brighter on
the brighter side and darker on the darker side.

:
: Thank you in advance.
I remember watching a whole "Mr. Wizzard" program on this subject when
I was a kid. The battery constructed on the program which made the
biggest impression on me, and generated the most power, was made using
a galvanized bucket (for the zinc) and a copper toilet tank float. The
electrolyte was sauerkraut!

Sadly, it does not. Suspects can be compelled to give handwriting and
voice exemplars, and to take blood and DNA tests.
No, but they could compell you to produce the key to a safe where, as it
happens, evidence that will convict you is stored.
The crypto-key disclosure issue hasn't come up yet, but current law
suggests that it's a loser for the defendant--he'll be compelled to turn
over the key.
The test for compelled self-incrimination is whether the material to
be disclosed *in itself* tends to inculpate the discloser. In the example
I gave above, the safe key itself has no testimonial value--ergo, it can
be disclosed under compulsion (e.g., subpoena duces tecum).
Moreover, the government can always immunize the disclosure of a crypto
key--compelling you to disclose the key at the price of not using the fact
of your disclosure as evidence in the case against you. Of course, they
can use whatever they discover as a result of this disclosure against
you.

The term arrhythmia is usually used to encompass a wide range of abnormal
heart rhythms (cardiac dysrhythmias). Some of them are very serious
while others are completely benign. Having "a few irregular beats"
on an EKG could be serious depending on what those beats were and
when they occurred, or could be of no significance.
Low blood potassium levels probably predispose people with underlying
heart disease to develop arrhythmias. Very low potassium levels are
clearly dangerous, but it is not clear how much of a problem
low-end-of-normal levels are: a lot of cardiologists seem to treat
anyone with even a mildly low-normal potassium level.

The internal HD in my LC disappeared for a day last week, and I'd like to
hear any (reasonable) theories folks can suggest for what happened.
It is an LC, with 10MB of RAM and an 80MB internal drive, running system
7.1, with a few SCSI devices in a (so far as I know) properly terminated
chain.
I had shut down the system for a day-- I was out of town and we sometimes
have thunderstorms this time of year-- and upon restarting got a blinking
question mark. I booted from a floppy and saw that my external HD seemed
okay, but there was no sign of the internal.
I installed a system folder on the external and was, indeed, able to boot
from it. I tried things like Disk First Aid and Silverlining, to inquire
about the internal drive. They either could not find it or got errors in
trying to talk to it. (Silverlining claimed it was a Connor drive, but it
is a Quantum... )
Well, I'd backed things up, so I was able to work. But, at some point I
noticed that the internal had reappeared. Now, Disk First Aid says that
all's well, etc. Things seem to be fine.
But, what happened? Was this a warning that something (the internal HD
or something else) is about to die? I'm definitely nervous.
And, if this is a signal that the internal HD is sick, is it true that I
can only put up to a 127MB drive inside an LC? Some folks have claimed
there's a limitation in the LC (other'n size or power) while others (and
that includes LaCie, over the phone) say anything that fits is okay.

"A handful of anti-gun zealots are telling the public that their
right to self-defense is of less importance than the interests of
Handgun Control, Inc. This action comes as local, state and federal law
enforcement officials continue their assault on the Branch Davidian
compound--an assault which has already resulted in the death of one
two year old child at the hands of federal agents. This has highlighted
the need for citizens to be able to defend themselves and their children
against the excesses of their own government."
"Any suggestion by opponents that this bill will increase crime is a
distortion of the facts, at best. The aggressive outreach by officials
in central Florida to train and arm women has led to a dramatic drop in
the level of assault and rape in that area. Of course, this program is
a rare gem, as many law enforcement officials apparently believe that an
unarmed citizenry will be easier to control, and thus favor tighter
restrictions."
"The vote today is a tribute to the good sense of the public at large
who are putting their lives on the line every day as they go about their
lawful affairs. The entire country knows how vulnerable the average
citizen is, both to attacks from criminals and from armed assault by our
own police. Texas lawmakers who voted for this concealed handgun bill have
shown total understanding for those innocent, law-abiding citizens on the
front lines, and the families of those who have fallen."
"I urge the House of Representatives to pay attention to the needs
of their constituents, and not be stampeded by ill-conceived arguments
from ideological fanatics."

Hi,
I am trying to write an X-windows based interface that runs on top of GDB. Could
anyone help me in understanding the way we are supposed to "fork" GDB off as a
subprocess ?? I currently use pipes but when I try and debug this program, the
following happens :
PROGRAM :
main()
{
int x;
printf("enter x : ");
scanf("%d", &x);
printf("x = .%d.\n", x );
}
OUTPUT :
The program hangs without returning the output of the printf statement. When I type
in a value (like 5), then all the printf's output comes out at one time.
Is there any other way, besides using PIPES to do this i.e., like ioctl or something else ??
Thanks,

Not quite correct. Biblical teaching expects us to celebrate the
resurrection of Christ not once a year but every time someone is baptized.
Col. 2:12-Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him
through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the
dead." Rom. 6:4-Therefore we are buried with him in baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
Those really want to celebrate the resurrection should by faith walk in
newness of life after baptism. It is not necessary to celebrate a pagan
goddess in the process.
Paul answered your question in Romans 9. In v. 4 he stated that the
adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of
God, and the promises were given to the Israelites. It is a package deal.
He goes on to identify those who are true Israelites. Vs 6-8 makes it
plain that the true Israelites are not those who are born that way but
those who accept the promise of God. Paul continued to emphasize that he
was an Israelite in 2 Cor. 11:22, then in Gal 3:29 he says that all those
who belong to Christ are Abraham's seed, and heirs to all the promises
given to the Israelites. The promises come with the law. It is all or
nothing. Why is it that you only want to discard one part of the law?
Certainly you would want your husband to be faithful to you. Or do you
believe that adultery is no longer forbidden? Same law.
BTW please give a reference for your statement that the Gentiles are only
required to observe the basis commandmants. Could you list those
please. Acts 15 deals with circumcision and the law of Moses which was
added because of transgression of God's eternal law (Gal 3:19; Rom 4:15)

Take this one step further ...
Never dilly-dally in that rear 1/4 of either side of a cage - when you pass
make it as POSITIVE as possible and if you can't pass fully, at least make
sure that if you attempt it you can make the driver aware of you by at least
getting into his area of vision.
This also applies to merging into another lane after making a pass - do it
as POSITIVELY as possible ... and what I "try" to do is look in the rear view
and then over my shoulder. And after I've done that ACCELERATE into the
lane so that you have a speed cushion should you have missed seeing a
potential BDI that's trying to do the same thing as you ... or worse (ie:
he may have been behind you, saw you made the pass successfully but YOU aren't
GOING FAST ENOUGH to suite him so he tries to go around you on the right).

CBD>>but it's nothing compared to the (ahem) unique helmet
CBD>>design seen in the new Animated Series: it has a huge opening for his
CBD>>mouth, topped by the world's tiniest eyeslits above the enormous mouth
CBD>>opening. Batman's helmet probably cuts you down to about 12 degrees of
CBD>>unrestricted vision. With a helmet like this, he might just be better
CBD>>off with the leather cap/mask thingy.
CBD>C'mon, Batman doesn't need to SEE. He's Batman.
CBD>Did you notice he only takes the bike out in the snow or rain?
So let's see what we have on the Batdude so far: He has a weird helmet.
He drags his knee in corners (thanks, Cookson, but how does he do it?
Hidden Bat-pucks?), and he only takes the bike out in the snow or rain.
Also, he lets Robin ride! I think I could have used a Bat-mom. Would
have made getting my license a lot easier!
There's a trend here: Stylish helmet, Stylish knee-dragging, rides only
in Stylish cartoon precipitation. Hmm . . . Could it be that we're
dealing with a veritable airborne mammalian poseur? Dare I say it, a
BAT-SQUID?? (huh? Bat-Squid?) It all adds up now . . .
Let's make the B-man an honorary DoD DuDe. All he needs is a DoD
sticker.
Actually, anyone have an address for Batman's current artists, both
comic book and animated series? We'll write and ask if Batman would like
to become an honorary Denizen! Yeah!
Special To The KoTL: Is there a precedent for inducting an imaginary
member with an imaginary motorcycle? Having seen the computers in the
Bat-Cave, I think we can safely assume that he also has imaginary
Internet access.

That's not true. I gave you two examples. One was the rather
pevasive anti-semitism in German Christianity well before Hitler
arrived. The other was the system of social ranks that were used
in Imperail Germany and Austria to distinguish Jews from the rest
of the population.
Neither of these were very terrible in themselves, but both helped
to set a psychology in which the gradual disenfranchisement of Jews
was made easier.

Are you your own master? Do you have any habits that you cannot break?
For one, you seem unable to master your lack of desire to understand
even the slightest concept of the Bible. Seems that ignorance has you
mastered. How about sexual sins? Gotta any of those secret desires
in your head that you harbor but can get control of? Do you dehumanize
women when they walk past you? Do you degrade them to a sex object in
your head? Are you the master of that kind of thinking? Do you insult
people unknowingly, then regret it later. Yet do it again the next
time opportunity presents itself? Are you truly the master of yourself?
I have admitted that I am not the master of my thought life at all times.
That I sometimes say things I do want to say, and then repeat my mistake
unwantingly. I have admitted to myself that I cannot control every aspect
of my being. There are times I know I shouldn't say something, but
then say it anyway. There are times I simply forget a lesson.
I, in fact, am not my own master. I need help. Jesus promised me
this help. And I took him up on his offer. I have willfully let
Jesus be my master because Jesus knows what is better for me than
I myself do. And why not? Does not the creator know his creation
better than the creation? Does Toyota know what's better for the
Corolla than the Corolla?
Then I guess ignorance is bliss for you. Because Brian, you enjoy
not having a clue about the Bible.
Can you witness motherly love with your senses? How does caring and
concern for you register with your senses? If nothing registers
to you other than what you can see, taste, smell, hear and touch,
then you better become a Vulcan and fast. You better get rid
of your emotions.
And I do have a good reason to believe what I do.
The topic was about my God and your lack of knowledge about what my
God says. My God says that you will not CEASE EXISTING. You have
life forever. You can choose to either live it in hell in eternal
torment where there is no communication whatsoever, or can choose to
live it in paradise with God. That is what my God says. And that
was the issue. Your made-up theism is what it is--made up. It's
wishful thinking.
Is this the religion of Kendigianism? Most people are not Christian. Most
people, including Christians, are not fond of feeling that they
are imperfect. Is "the world an undesireable place" a doctrine
of Kendigianism? It has nothing to do with my God. Does
Kendigism have magical mystical prayers as a part of its worship?
Mine doesn't. Does Kendigianism believe that the world will be holy again?
Mine doesn't. Does Kendigianism also dictate that one must obey what the
priest tells them like good little sheep? Mine doesn't. Is this
a bunch of lies you tell yourself so that you can justify being
ignorant of the Bible?
Brian, following Christ has nothing to do with the doctrines of Kendigianism.
You would find any of your doctrines in the Bible. I don't follow Kendigianism.
I follow Christ. Also, to try to again show you your ignorance
of Christ and the Bible in regards to "priests", have you not read about
the sole Melchizedek priest in Hebrews 7 and 8? Have you not read what the
purpose is of the Old Testament Levitical priesthood and why there should
NOT be priests today? Yes, guess what? The Catholics messed up. I do
not follow Catholicism or any "ism." I follow Christ.
Why would you want to live a good life?
To you, you die and that's it. Don't contradict yourself. You have
no reason to live a good life. It doesn't do you any good in the
end. Your life doesn't do anybody else any good either because
everyone dies anyway. So you have no reason to lead a good life. Leading
a good life is meaningless. Why do you do such a meaningless thing?
Has the resurrection sunk in? Jesus is alive. Jesus is NOT dead.
Jesus was sacrified to fufill the Old Testament sacrificial system
in its every detail. Jesus's death was like a seed. He needed
to fall to the ground so that many new lives would take root. Did
you miss the entire John passage as well?
Forget that I am a person. Forget that I know how to type. Forget
that I know how to put a sentence together. Forget that I know
how to send e-mail. Forget my existence. Proove to me that I
exist. .

I have a question about tires for my Guzzi. It is a '75 850-T. The tires that
were on it when I just bought it are old and cracked. I do not have an
owners manual for it (yet), but the tires listed in the Haynes manual are:
Front, 3,50 H 18 ; Rear 4.10 H 18, and pressures recommended are 26 front and
33 rear. Oddly, the pressure for the same tire on the T-3 is listed at 29 psi
instead. Anyone know the reason? As I know though, the pressure I should run
at is that recommended by the manufacturer of the new tires I purchase.
The real question I have is this. The old tires that are on the bike are for
the front, a Metzler Touring Special, 4.10 H 18, and for the rear an Avon
Roadrunner 4.70 H 18, (120/90) H 18 as marked on each tire. Both are larger
than that listed in the Haynes Manual. What does the owners manual recommend,
and was it common to go up one size for this bike? Also, this will be my first
motorcycle with innertubes. Any comments on the various manufacturers inner
tube qualities?
The above sizes are inches (except for the additional mark on the current
rear tire). What is the best metric match? The local BMW dealer thought
100/90 H 18 on the front and 120/90 H 18 on the back. He also happens to be
very good at getting close to matching mail order prices.
I am thinking of going with a Metzler ME33 Laser (possibly Comp K) on the
front and ME88 on the back, both in MBS variety if possible (the longer
lasting belting system). I already use the ME33 on both the Vision and
FJ for the front, and like it, and I thought that with the shaft drive
behavior and torque from the Guzzi that the ME88 might give more predictable
back end control and sliding behavior than a ME55 might, as well as giving
much better tire milage life. Any comments?
A friend told me he thought that my bike had Boranni rims which are very
good, but are relatively soft and have delicate sidewalls. I do not wish to
mount the tires myself this first time, so aside from warning the shop to be
careful, any other comments I should make? I havn't looked at the rim to
check out the make yet, if it is marked. He just told me late yesterday and
I havn't had a chance to check the rim type.
On another note. I will remove the ugly (but in good shape....anyone want it?)
Vetter fairing, and I will run without a windscreen for a while, but eventually
I would like a simple rounded cafe' style quarter fairing for it. It could be
fork/handlebar mounted. Any suggestions? Is there such a thing as a frame
mounted quarter fairing of the cafe' style for this bike? How about lower
bars/clip-ons for it? I would like to restore the bike into a good condition
runner with a few modern updates, but while not being historically exactly
accurate still have it reflect relatively well a representation of the cafe'
style. (Yes I know to be picky, that period really predates this bike....it is
just that this bike has such potential for _that_ look.)

1. Do a straight encryption of your keyrings and put the
results with misleading names somewhere they won't be noticed
(eg. in the \windows directory; nobody knows what half those
files are).
2. Do a straight encryption of a .BAT file that will decrypt
the keyrings to RAMdisk and will set PGPPATH to point at it.
3. Set up another .BAT file to decrypt and execute the first
(again on RAM disk). Have it take the name of the target file
as an argument so that there is no link between this file and
the (non-existent) batch file referred to by the rest of the
system. Comment it so it looks like a test script for fooling
around with PGP. Set PGPPATH to the PGP directory.
4. Leave the original keyrings that came with PGP in the
directory with PGP; a good indication that you are playing
with, but haven't made serious use of PGP. Add a set of keys
with your name and a really simple passphrase. Never use it,
or use it as your widely published key for low-security
e-mail.
5. When needed, run the second .BAT file. Make sure all
intermediate and plainfiles are generated on RAMdisk.
6. When you hear the concussion grenade, hit the power switch.

This is a followup post to something I've written previously. Several
people responded with good information, but I don't think I communicated
exactly what I am looking for.
I'm working on a custom I/O device that will communicate with a host
via RS-232. My custom circuitry will use an 80C186EB or EC CPU and require
about 64K of RAM (preferably FLASH RAM). In looking around, I see that lots
of people have engineered UART-CPU-ROM-RAM subsystems that are ready to be
interfaced to your custom I/O devices. It's been done so much, that it
would be best if I can avoid reinventing a system. It just needs to use
an 80C186 (or 188) CPU, and be able to load a program from the host then
transfer control to that program. Well, there's one other thing the ROM
needs to know how to do. It should have routines to send and receive bytes
to/from the host, that utilize the hardware control lines (DTR,RTS,DTS,CTS).
Everything I've seen is in the $200.00 and up range. That's too much for
this application. I need something around $100.00. The CPU has the UART
built-in, so you're only looking at a few chips. Does anyone know a
company that markets a good board in this range, or some public domain
circuitry I can use? Thanks in advance for the info.

RISC used to mean "Reduced Instruction Set Computer", true. They
still use the same acronym, but only to be familiar. What RISC really
means is a recently-designed CPU. :-)
In general, most RISC CPUs are like this:
A large number (32 or more) of general-purpose registers
A fixed instruction size, usually 32 bits
An instruction may make only one memory reference
Memory references must be aligned
There are delayed branches (branch after the next instruction) or
a target prediction bit (probably will/won't branch)
Instructions may complete out of order relative to the instruction
stream

I may be interesting to see some brief selections posted to the net.
My understanding is that SSPX does not consider ITSELF in schism
or legitimately excommunicated. But that's really beside the point.
What does the Roman Catholic church say? Excommunication can be
real apart from formal excommunication, as provided for in canon law.
After all we Orthodox don't cinsider ourselves schismatic or
excommunicated. But the Catholic Church considers us dissident.
If this is inappropriate for this group or beyond the charter,
I'm sure OFM will let us know.

If you do a MEDLINE search on "turmeric" you'll see that it is a potent
lipoxygenase inhibitor which is being investigated in a number of areas.
I'm in cardiology and about 4 years ago the cardiothoracic surgery lab at my
hospital compared the effect of a teaspoon of dissolved turmeric vs. a $2000
bolus of tPA in preventing myocardial reperfusion injury in a perfused
Langendorff sheep heart. The turmeric was more effective :-)

# ## # Gay men constitute at least 20% of all child molestations. Whether

# #You are incorrect. The most recent survey data I can find shows that
# #26% of molestation is exclusively homosexuals, 4% is bisexual (victims

# So what you are saying is that 74% of the child molestations are

Bisexuals are heterosexuals? Since when?
# which concludes that by being homosexual, you will molest children or that
# by being homosexual you will have the propensity for molesting children.
I haven't said that "homosexual = child molester," simply that is more
likely.
# If 26% of the molestations are by homosexuals, why are you so concerned
# about creating a relation between the two? If you had evidence that
# 95% of the molestations are committed by homosexuals you might find a

[(*] Were you involved in the murder of Sarik Ariyak?
[(*] December 17, 1980 - Sydney
[(*] Two Nazi Armenians massacre Sarik Ariyak and his bodyguard, Engin

Mr. Turkish Governmental Agent: prove that the SDPA even existed in 1980 or
1982! Go ahead, provide us the newspaper accounts of the assassinations and
show us the letters SDPA! The Turkish government is good at excising text from
their references, let's see how good thay are at adding text to verifiable
newspaper accounts!
The Turkish government can't support any of their anti-Armenian claims as
typified in the above scribed garbage! That government continues to make
false and libelous charges for they have no recourse left after having made
fools out of through their attempt at a systematic campaign at denying and
covering up the Turkish genocide of the Armenians.
Just like a dog barking at a moving bus, it barks, jumps, yells, until the
bus stops, at which point it just walks away! Such will be with this posting!
Turkish agents level the most ridiculous charges, and when brought to answer,
they are silent, like the dog after the bus stops!
The Turkish government feels it can funnel a heightened state of ultra-
nationalism existing in Turkey today onto UseNet and convince people via its
revisionist, myopic, and incidental view of themselves and their place in the
world.
The resulting inability to address Armenian and Greek refutations of Turkey`s
re-write of history is to refer to me as a terrorist, and worse, claim --
as part of the record -- I took responsibility for the murder of 2 people!
What a pack of raging fools, blinded by anti-Armenian fascism. It's too bad
the socialization policies of the Republic of Turkey requires it to always
find non-Turks to de-humanize! Such will be their downfall!

Depends. If you assume the existance of a working SSTO like DC, on billion
$$ would be enough to put about a quarter million pounds of stuff on the
moon. If some of that mass went to send equipment to make LOX for the
transfer vehicle, you could send a lot more. Either way, its a lot
more than needed.
This prize isn't big enough to warrent developing a SSTO, but it is
enough to do it if the vehicle exists.

The situation: running a Fortran executable that creats an Xterm. An option
in the menu contained in the Xterm runs a Fortran subroutine that creats
a Tektronics-mode Xterm for displaying some graphics. Typing a <RET> while
the Tektronics-mode Xterm (future reference to this will be "Tek-term") is
active makes the Xterm read future keystrokes but does not shift input focus
to the Xterm (I'm basing that statement on the fact that the border of the
Tek-term stays the highlighted color and that the Tek-term stays on top of
Xterm. If what I'm describing isn't input focus, let me know.)
The xterm can be brought to the top by clicking the mouse button on it.
Subsequent selections from the Xterm of the menu item that displays graphics
highlihts the border and displays the updated graphics, but does not move
the Tek-term to the top. If the Tek-term has been iconized to conserve
screen space, it stays an icon.
The desired behavior: one of two options -
1. Whichever of the windows that is active is always on top of the
inactive one.
2. Whenever the Tek-term is inactivated, it should revert to a icon
but when it is activated it should become a window on a higher
level than the Xterm.
What I think I need: a means of specifying that a Xterm or Tek-term will
be at the highest level and a way to iconify/expand a Xterm and Tek-term.
These commands, would, I'd guess, need to be in the Fortran or in the
command that starts up the Xterm and Tek-term.
Other information: All this is taking place on a VT-1300 (a DEC dumb
X-windows terminal) connected to a VAX running VMS and Motif.
Thanks for your time. If you've got any words of wisdom (other than
"give up" ;-), please send email to

I am having a big problem trying to build MIT X11R5 with xlc 1.2.1

I've built X11R5 with no problem before .. but now its all headaches.
For example, the xset client complains that libXmu doesnt have a bunch
of Xt routines and shr.o is missing (or something like that). The
build of libXmu DOES link in libXt so I am really perplexed what is
going on.

What's the latest and greatest way to dim incandescent lamps ?
March '93 Circuit Cellar has part one of an article about
dimming 120VAC lamps, but it seems to lead into phase-
control as the best method for controlling brightness.
I've always hated phase-control for the RFI, buzzing
filaments and non-linear adjustment range. I had
heard that you can modulate the AC line on a cycle by
cycle basis to get better results. To cut the lamp's
power to 50% you would givemsay 20 cycles of AC, then
nothing for another 20 cycles. I wonder if anyone has
tried this or knows what the pro stuff is using. Any
advice is appreciated!

To me, a larger problem is that once disclosed, your keys could be used
to decrypt any previously recorded conversations. I gather that from this
proposal a warrant would be required to get the keys, but not to collect
conversations! Consider the scenario where an agency collects preemptively
all encrypted conversations for certain people likely to be targets (and
not necessarily "legitimate" targets), then arranges for some unrelated
incident that can trigger a warrant:
"Your honor, we know that the suspect has received calls from noted
crime figure Bugsy Butthead [said calls arranged by the agency] and we must
therefore have this warrant to determine whether this suspect, in a
sensitive govt post, is corrupt."
I suppose that it is conceivable that there are session keys involved
somewhere, but that doesn't seem likely; if there are, why wouldn't the
technical overview mention them when it goes to such details as the number
of bits held by each escrow authority?
This scheme is full of holes, and stinks to high heaven.

But, those chips are probably inside a custom chip, (to make it smaller and
use less power) and the preset/data pins are not going to be available.
It would probably not be TTL but might be CMOS
(wider operating voltage range), not that the tecnology would make
much difference.
Plus the custom chip would probably be potted (encapsulated with epoxy).
Good luck.

Excerpts from netnews.comp.windows.x: 23-Apr-93 X Toolkits Paul
[email protected] (1132)
The Andrew User Interface System is supported, maintained, enhanced, and
distributed by the Andrew Consortium, Carnegie Mellon. The distribution
terms are those of the X consortium, not the GNU Public License. Thus
anyone can commercially exploit the Andrew code without restriction.
(To encourage membership, however, we defer universal release of the
latest versions until Consortium members have had an opportunity to
explore the new capabilities.)
To se what AUIS looks like, you can try a remote demo. You need an X
server (R5 is best) on a machine linked to the internet. Give the
command
finger [email protected]
for instructions.
NOTE: The demo version does not use the Motif-look-and-feel scrollbar,
but one is available. You can use it on the demo by changing an option
in the ~/preferences file and starting a new editor.
The Andrew Toolkit component of AUIS is ideal if you want to build
applications using compound documents. Andrew's major feature is its
architecture for recursive embedding of objects: equation in table in
figure in text, for example. This architecture extends to areas not
usually found in toolkits, including file stream formats, cut/paste, and
printing.
Andrew also provides some of the most commonly requested applications:
word processor, spreadsheet, drawing editor, and font editor (the latter
two are in version 5.2 which will be generally released on the XR6 tape
in December.)

you Need gs252ini.zip and 24*.zip, and 25*.zip font files. You can get these
from wuarchive.wustl.edu /mirrors/msdos/postscript. I also advice you to get
gs252gui.zip from CICA. It is a nice interface for ghostscript. Ghostscript is
very user unfriendly. This interface makes it user friendly. For using this
interface you have to get vbrun100.dll (from risc.ua.edu /pub/network/misc)
copy this to your windows directory. Copy gui executables and other files to
your ghostscript directory. And anter the line below to your autoexec.bat.
SET GS_LIB=C:\<your ghostscript and gui directory>
Now you are ready to use it. Enjoy it.

Hello, I am not sure if this is the right conference to ask this
question, however, Here I go.. I am a commercial fisherman and I
fell about 3 weeks ago down into the hold of the boat and broke or
cracked a rib and wrenched and bruised my back and left arm.
My question, I have been to a doctor and was told that it was
best to do nothing and it would heal up with no long term effect, and
indeed I am about 60 % better, however, the work I do is very
hard and I am still not able to go back to work. The thing that worries me
is the movement or "clunking" I feel and hear back there when I move
certain ways... I heard some one talking about the rib they broke
years ago and that it still bothers them.ÿ. any opinions?
thanx and cheers

I have a 86 chevy sprint with a/c and 4doors. It's odometer turned 90k
and the sensor light started blinking. I went to the dealer and he said
it was a maintenance light saying I need to change the Oxygen sensor. He
said, It is to be changed every 30k, but since I bought the car when it
had 77k, I don't know if the same thing happened at 30k and 60k. He
quoted $198 for the part and $50 to install it. The part cost $30
outside, but the mechanic I went to could not fix it saying the sensor
is placed too deep in the engine parts. He suggested I wait till it
malfunctions before I do anything. If anyone out there owns a chevy
sprint, I want to know how they got their Oxygen sensors changed. Also,
did you face any problem with fixing it without the dealer's help. Also,
what are the results of the oxygen sensor malfunction.
Any help would be greatly apprecisted
Thanks

An interesting interpretation of Revelation 17 and 18 has been given by
evangelist David Wilkerson. I am not saying that I totally agree with his
interpretation, but it is certainly believable and good food for thought. He
interprets the Babylon of Revelation 17-18 as being none other than the good
old U. S. of A. That's right, America. He supports his claim in several ways.
The Babylon of Revelation is THE world leader in trade and commerce, and the
WHOLE WORLD wept when Babylon fell. The American dollar, despite the Japanese
success of the 20th century, is STILL the most sought after currency in the
world. If the U.S. were destroyed, wouldn't the whole world mourn? The bible
also talks about Babylon being a home of harlots, sin, and adultery (I am
paraphrasing, of course). Babylon's sin affected, or should I say, infected,
the whole world. It doesn't take much looking to see that the U.S. is in a
state of moral decay. Hasn't the American culture and Hollywood spread the "do
it if it feels good" mentality all over the world. I think, though, that what
Mr. Wilkerson uses as his strongest argument is the fact that Revelation calls
Babylon "Babylon the Great" and portrays it as the most powerful nation on
earth. No matter how dissatisfied you are with the state of our country, I
don't think you would have too much trouble agreeing that the U.S. is STILL the
most powerful nation on earth.
Again, this interpretation is not NECESSARILY my own, but I do find it worthy
of consideration.

I pondered it for all of ten seconds when I realised that since
we don't have any reliable statistics for sexual promiscuity,
and since the whole issue of "depression" isn't at all well
defined for earlier centuries, you are probably talking crap.
Of course, you could pull a Mozumder on us, and say that people
who are having sex outside marriage are *defined* to be depressed.
I can't say I'd ever noticed, myself.

DC-X as is today isn't suitable for this. However, the followon SDIO
funds will. A reusable sounding rocket was always SDIO's goal.
So did I. There is a lot going on now and some reports are due soon
which should be very favorable. The insiders have been very bush briefing
the right people and it is now paying off.
However, public support is STILL critical. In politics you need to keep
constant pressure on elected officials.

Leonard, I'll give you an example of this....
My father recently bought a business, the business price was 150,000 pounds
and my father approached the people in the community for help, he raised
60,000 pounds in interest free loans from friends and relatives and
Muslims he knew, 50,000 had cash and the rest he got a business loan, after
paying off the Muslim lenders many of them helped him with further loans
to help him clear the bank debt and save him from further intrest, this
is an example of a Muslim community helping one another, why did they help
because of their common identity as Muslims. In turn my father has helped
with people buying houses to minimise the amount of intrest they pay
and in some cases buy houses intrest free with the help of those more
fortunate in the community.
The fact is Leonard it DOES work without a fluffy bunny in sight!
iThat is the beauty of Islam.

an X window (previous versions were limited to vertical text). Rotation
is still achieved using XImages, but the notion of rotating a whole font
first has been dropped.
What's new?

Actually, the story goes that Lucifer refused to bow before MAN as
God commanded him to. Lucifer was devoted to God.
Oh yeah, there is nothing in Genesis that says the snake was anything
more than a snake (well, a talking one...had legs at the time, too).
I don't think pointing out contradictions in STORIES is the best way
to show the error in theology: if they think a supernatural entity
kicked the first humans out of paradise because they bit into a
fruit that gave them special powers...well, they might not respond
well to reason and logic. :^)

Very interesting, but I also believe that you have presented a
misleading argument. Christianity is not the cause of the massacres
and horrific injustices that you relate, rather they are the fault
of people who misunderstand Jesus Christ's message, and modify
it to suit their own beliefs and aims, rather than alter their
ambitions to be more in line with those presented as desirable in
the New Testament. With every truthful and good message that
carries authority or implied authority, comes the inevitable
fact that some (many?) people will understand it in a distorted
way, with inevitable consequences.
The Bible's message is that we are to love all people, and
that all people are redeemable. It preaches a message of
repentance, and of giving. Unfortunately, all people have
deceitful hearts, and are capable of turning this message
around and contorting it in sometimes unbelievable ways.
This is also a fundamental Christian doctrine.
One of the problems is that you look at the world through
the eyes of Western history. I think that you will find
many, many cases of massacres that were instigated by
people who never claimed they were Christian. I am not saying
this to justify the massacres that were, but I am merely
pointing you to a tendency which is present in humans already.
Consider the world without Christianity. I doubt that we
would have the same freedoms in the countries in which we
live, if it wasn't for the peaceful doctrines of Jesus Christ.
Perhaps we would even be confronted by a very harsh religion
(I won't name any here, though one comes to mind) which
would not even allow us the freedom of speech to debate such
subjects.
Point the blame at inherent human tendencies of thirst for
power, greed and hatred. Please don't point the blame at
a message which preaches fundamental giving and denial, in
love for others.
Yours in Christ,
Andrew McVeigh
p.s. I believe that a line of questioning like you presented
is, strangely enough, compatible with becoming a Christian.
Certainly Christianity encourages one to question the behaviour
of the world, and especially Christians. I praise God for
Jesus Christ, and the fact that we can doubt our beliefs
and still come back to God and be forgiven, time and time
again.

MAGELLAN STATUS REPORT
April 23, 1993
1. The Magellan spacecraft continues to operate normally, gathering
gravity data to plot the density variations of Venus in the
mid-latitudes. The solar panel offpoint was returned to zero degrees
and spacecraft temperatures dropped 2-3 degrees C.
2. An end-to-end test of the Delayed Aerobraking Data readout
process was conducted this week in preparation for the Transition
Experiment. There was some difficulty locking up to the data frames,
and engineers are presently checking whether the problem was in
equipment at the tracking station.
3. Magellan has completed 7277 orbits of Venus and is now 32 days
from the end of Cycle 4 and the start of the Transition Experiment.
4. Magellan scientists were participating in the Brown-Vernadsky
Microsymposium at Brown University in Providence, RI, this week. This
joint meeting of U.S. and Russian Venus researchers has been
continuing for many years.

the various graphics viewers available for MS-Windows 3.x... I'm

to look at (and maybe even edit?) the image you just scanned.
The file formats I'm looking for:

If you would bother to check in any good dictioanry or thesaurus, I think
you will find that "arrogance" has to do with an offensive exhibition of
presumed or real superiority (a paraphrase from my own Webster's).
Arrognace is about pride and haughtiness. A person can believe in absolute
truth, even blindly (whatever that means) without being obnoxious about it.
Just as a person can be a "humble," authority-questioning,
defying-any-theist-to-reply athiest and be quite arrogant. Arrogance is not
about what you believe, it is about how you relate to what you believe and
how you present it to others. If your overwhelming experience of Christians
has been that they are arrogant, I apologozing both for myself and on the
behalf of those who have offfended you. But my own experience, at least in
forums like Usenet where you see a good mix of people, is that arrogant
Christians and athiests seems to occur in about equal numbers.

After reading some of the reports of possible NHL moves to Milwaukee or that
Milwaukee should have an NHL team, I thought I'd pass along a story I heard
recently. This is second hand, so I don't know how true it is, but I have
no reason to doubt it either.
Bradley Center in Milwaukee is home to the Milwaukee Admirals minor leauge
hockey team. The owner of the Admirals (sorry, I can't remember his name)
either owns or at least shelled out the majority of the funds to build the
Bradley Center.
Supposedly he was approached by the NHL about an expansion franchise, but
turned it down because he thought the franchise fee of $50 million was too
high.
Like I said, I don't know whether this story is true or just a rumor, but if
it's true, don't look for an NHL team in Milwaukee anytime soon. The Admirals
aren't going to be forced out of the building and you won't see an NHL club
and a minor league club in the same building, especially since the NBA's
Milwaukee Bucks play there as well.
