Anyhow, how would anybody know if someone spied on private messages without

getting permission from anyone. If the government has the wherewithall to

read encripted messages they will do it with or without permission. <Phil>

You come up with VERY valid points! I guess the main thing I'm concerned about
|
|
is that there is really not much reason for the average individual to be so
|
|
concerned with encryption. Businesses with large amounts of valuable dat to
|
|
protect are a different story. My point of view to this point has been from
|
|
the average computer user. You must admit that the "average user" cares
|
|
and knows little compared to the "average" OS-9 and now CoCo user. We tend to
|
|
be more technically oriented because OS-9 has pretty much made us that way,
|
|
but mostly because you need to know more to squeeze that extra bit of
|
|
usefullness from a CoCo.. to do almost anything with a CoCo nowadays! I
|
|
just bought a 128K CC3 and CM-8 from a guy for $75. All because RS said
|
|
they couldn't even get him a cassette cable a year ago! Those dealers know
|
|
nothing.... so we have to know more (pretty easy... huh?).

John,

I see you uploaded a TEX driver for Epson ESC P2 printers. I recently

purchased an Epson Stylus 300 and am hoping to get some tex experience
|

under my belt. In the docs for your program, you stated that

things were still a little rough. Have you developed the

Hugo,
|
|
The DVI->ESCP2 driver was an early attempt to get a decent printout
|
|
of TEX documents on my Action Printer 5000. It does pretty well with
|
|
plain text, approximating font styles and sizes with the printer's
|
|
built-in scalable fonts. It gets real confused with some horizontal
|
|
and vertical lines (rules). I didn't go any farther with the driver
|
|
after TIMKIENTZLE uploaded a more complete TEX/LATEX package with
|
|
a whole herd of DVI-printer drivers. If the Stylus 300 will accept
|
|
older 24-pin Epson Graphics commands, you should find that Tim's
|
|
dvie24 driver in that package gives excellent results. You can
|
|
also run DVI files through the `dvips' program (also uploaded by
|
|
TIMKIENTZLE), and then print them with Ghostscript's ESC/P2 driver.

John,

Thanks for replying. I'll take a look at Tim's most recent

uploads. I really don't want to get into Ghostscript stuff. It

seems to add complexity to what should be a simple task.

You should contact Owl Computer and see about an upgrade to v.1.3, otherwise
|
|
any patches I write might (probably) won't work with your version. The
|
|
upgrade wasn't significant, as I remeber, only a 1 page addendum to the

original manual, but it fixed some bugs and I think it changed the file

There are a lot of patches and such to wade through, so much so that I came
|
|
out with an "upgrade" disk that many have referred to as "Level II version 2"
|
|
though it isn't that officially. What it is is a collection of the most
|
|
used/needed/recommended patches for Level II all on awo disk set that gas
|
|
(has!!) an auto-patch util with it. Answer a few questions and the patches
|
|
are installed! All you do then is edit the supplied bootlist to your liking
|
|
and run OS9Gen. You need 2 DS40T drives (at least1... the other can be 80T)
|
|
to run the autopatch feature, also 512K. The disk set is $7.50 + $2.50 S&H,
|
|
or you can get it from FARNA Systems at the fest in Chicago.

OS9000

Can anyone give me some information on OS9000? I'm working with a
|

company who is undertaking a project that will require a real-time
|
|
multitasking system and they are seriously considering OS9000. I'm
|
|
especially looking for any information or help regarding device
|
|
drivers and embedded assembly language in c source code. Also, I am
|
|
assuming that programming the 386/486 in assembly language may be a
|
|
little different than DOS assembly language.

Real Make...
|
|
From: RHELLER To: ALL
|
|
|
|
I am looking for a real live make for OSK. Microware's make is somewhat
|
|
braindead (a real pain to use if one is use gcc/g++, etc.). I just downloaded
|
|
and tried the "MAKE FOR OSK" make in the Programmers Den file area here, but
|
|
it too seems to have interesting problems -- it does not use "Makefile" by
|
|
default (instead, it leaves its "makefile" variable uninitialized (== NULL),
|
|
and I get a #102 (bus error) error). And it does not know how to deal with
|
|
a full abs. path for a target. Sigh.
|
|
|
|
Has anyone ported Gnu Make to OSK?

GNU Make is on chestnut, I think. It is probably in the databases here,

and almost certainly on lucy.ifi.unibas.edu. If you can't find it, let

me know, and I'll upload it.
