Frank,

|

I have been looking for one of those for a long time. Another think I
|
||
|
|
never could find was something that an Air Force Sergeant in a comm center sent
|
||
|
|
me looking for many years ago -- you got a good deal on a "bucket of line
|
||
|
|
feeds"?

Sounds like a few things we used to send the new Navy boots on board ship.
|
||
|
|
Like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
10 yards of water line
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a bucket of steam
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
some relative bearing grease

John,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I looked all over my garage for a "bucket of line feeds". I coulda swore I had
|
||
|
|
some. Used to store them next to the nulls I used after my carrage returned
|
||
|
|
from the shop.
|
||

(Space reserved for pithy remark, if I think of one)

I'm having trouble restoring downloads from this forum with the ARC utility.
|
||
|
|
Every time I try it, I get an error message that says the file has a bad
|
||
|
|
header.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm downloading files onto my Mac, then porting them via DOS floppy to my
|
||
|
|
Philips 605 running OS-9. Are the files possibly coming across as Mac Binary
|
||
|
|
during the download? I've looked but can find no switch to force the downloads
|
||
|
|
not to be treated as Mac Binary. Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any ideas? A reply via Compuserve mail would be most appreciated.
|
||
|
|

Thanks,
|

Mark,

Your terminal program on the Mac should have a switch that allows you to engage
|
||
|
|
MacBinary or not. If you don't, trash that stupid program and get one of the
|
||
|
|
ones that does.... TermPlus, ZTerm, ClarisWorks, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you've got it in straight binary form, well.... it's anyone's guess from
|
||
|
|
there.

OSK users:
|
||
|
|
This has been bugging me for a while - never got around to asking about
|
||
|
|
it before.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the distribution disks for the MM/1 there are two sort utilities,
|
||
|
|
"qsort", documented in the OSK manuals, and "sort", documented absolutely
|
||
|
|
NOWHERE. They seem to do about the same thing, but sort is bigger, and seems
|
||
|
|
to handle input a little differently.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"qsort file" will print file (sorted).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sort will do it too, but you have to tell it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"sort <file"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"qsort" will print a help message, but "sort" will not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
either will print to a file if output is redirected. Both will read from stdin
|
||
|
|
if no filename is given - that is about as far as I have gone in playing with
|
||
|
|
them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The reason I started fiddling with them was a program that called
|
||
|
|
"sort" would hang up until I patched it to call "qsort".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anybody seen any docs for "sort?"
