Unless it's hard coded for a specific terminal or console, text based

software should run on just about any system. Any program that uses

termcaps should run on a System IV or V because 'vgakbd' is a pretty

Everything you need to know is in the manuals. I assume you are a legal owner
|
|
and do have your set of docs? Then look on page B-1 of the PC/OS-9000
|
|
Installation Instructions, there are the descriptors you need. Usually,
|
|
for a file in drive C:, that would normally be "Partition #1 of physical
|
|
disk C:", in which case you would load the hc1 device descriptor module.
|
|
It would be file /dd/PORTS/PCAT/OBJS/hc1. To copy the file you would
|
|
then do something like:
|
|
|
|
$ copy /hc1/os9.bin /dd/os9.bin
|
|
|
|
Does this help?

|
|
Gene,
|
|
|
|
I regret not being around to respond to this in a more timely manner,
|
|
and I'm sure the subject has been beaten to death by now, but I just have
|
|
to respond to this.
|
|
|
|
(I also apologize to everyone for perpetuating this discussion under an
|
|
inappropriate heading and topic.)
|
|
|
|
> I pay my taxes and think they should *not* be used for the latest so-
|
|
> called social engineering idea, but for pay and gear for law
|
|
> enforcement, and jails to put them in the first 2 times ...
|
|
|
|
First let me explain my perspective. I'm a college senior majoring in
|
|
psychology and minoring in sociology.
|
|
|
|
In my opinion the ideology you display in the above quote is largely
|
|
responsible for the continuing social problems we have in this society. As
|
|
any social psychology professor or textbook would batter you unendingly with,
|
|
every one of our actions is determined somewhat by who we are, and somewhat
|
|
by the situation/enviornment we find ourselves in. How much weight each
|
|
factor carries always has been and will always be a point of heated debate.
|
|
The point, however, is nonetheless true. In solving society's ills it will be
|
|
utterly necessary to deal with both the personal and social component of
|
|
every problem, or else nothing will ever be gained.
|
|
|
|
In laymen's terms it goes something like this:
|
|
|
|
If your car's battery dies, you replace it. If the new battery dies
|
|
again a month later, and every new battery after that dies after 1 month of
|
|
usage, do you simply keep replacing the dead batteries every month and think
|
|
that you've solved the problem? No, of course not. Probably after the first,
|
|
and definitely after the second battery you research the problem, and
|
|
discover something like a bad alternator as the root cause. Can you then just
|
|
replace the bad alternator and leave in the dead battery? Once again of
|
|
course not. You have to replace the dead battery, but once you've done that
|
|
AND replaced the bad alternator the problem is solved.
|
|
|
|
I believe this metaphor holds true for social problems. Yes you have to
|
|
put criminals in jail, but you also HAVE TO FIX THE UNDERLYING SOCIAL
|
|
PROBLEMS WHICH CREATED THE CRIMINALS IN THE FIRST PLACE or you won't make any
|
|
headway and you'll just be putting more and more people behind bars forever.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the above is something that neither staunch liberals nor
|
|
staunch conservatives seem to understand. Also unfortunately, it seems that
|
|
most people, including those who are in power, fit into one of those 2 half-
|
|
blind categories.

|
|
|
|
Okay, and in that case I say that a significant portion of the population
|
|
would have had reason to believe that the United States justice system had
|
|
failed them. This being the case, an uprising would have been in order for
|
|
the purpose of the group establishing its own rights in the absence of any
|
|
governing body capable of doing so, (and before you scoff at this idea
|
|
remember the many revoultions which have taken place throughout the world
|
|
and in this country throughout history.)
|
|
|
|
Is this something you would have preferred?
|
|
|
|
Now it is true that you can make any number of rational arguments against
|
|
the idea that letting the officers go free would have constituted the
|
|
obliteration of the rights of an entire race, or several races of people.
|
|
However, as a student of psychology and sociology, (and a member of the race
|
|
which saw this whole event as a test of their standing in American society,)
|
|
I would be quick to retort that, when dealing with human beings, the
|
|
objective reality of that admittedly overdramatized statement is almost if
|
|
not entirely worthless. What matters with a person, or especially with a
|
|
group of people, is the subjective reality that they perceive. In this
|
|
particular case I, and many others, would have perceived an unchallenged
|
|
not-guilty verdict as a complete breakdown of the United States justice
|
|
system as it applies to people who look like me, and a revolution, (loosely
|
|
translated as a riot, but one directed towards the justice and legal system,)
|
|
would have been entirely justified.

|
|
|
|
Well, if it keeps guns out of the hands of what you're calling "law
|
|
abideing citizens" then its definitely keeping guns out of the hands of
|
|
numerous "criminals," because in many cases they are one and the same. Why?
|
|
Because 1) most in-house firearms end up killing members of the household
|
|
they were originally bought to protect and 2) most murders are committed by
|
|
a family member of the murdered person. (I apologize for not citing a
|
|
reference here, but I sold my textbooks back to the university bookstore
|
|
yesterday!) :)
|
|
|
|
With this in mind, gun control could save quite a number of lives from
|
|
people who were never expected to be a threat. And this was never even an
|
|
argument anyone ever made for gun control!
|
|
|
|
By the way, this in no way means that I'm in favor of gun control. I
|
|
simply HATE seeing discussions in which one or both sides seems completely
|
|
ignorant of the valid points of the other side, as there has NEVER been any
|

argument of any importance in which both sides didn't have some valid

arguments. And no, I'm not pointing a finger at you with this. Its just

|
|
|

Yes, I totally agree. We *should* have the right, (this being America and
|
|
all,) to do anything so long as we don't infringe on anyone else's rights.
|
|
However, I think we're experiencing the strong influence of what I like to
|
|
call neo-Americans, (a category into which almost every one of us falls,)
|
|
who prefer the subversion of some of (and an ever increasing number of) our
|
|
rights to the risks taken when we allow freedom to run unchecked. These are
|
|
the people who don't understand that freedom has a price. These are the
|
|
very same people who claim to believe in the ideals of the forefathers in
|
|
founding the United States, but then are willing to turn completely away
|
|
from these ideas in practice. For instance, one of the original self-assigned
|
|
duties of America was to "make the world safe for Democracy," an idea
|
|
which most citizens would say that they believe in. However, many, if not
|
|
most citizens then turn around and are against US intervention in foreign
|
|
affairs for the same purpose they supposedly believe in. And, closer to home,
|
|
considering the original idea behind America being the big "melting pot," why
|
|
are there any such things as immigration laws, and why are (neo)Americans
|
|
constantly complaining about new immigrants into this great melting pot?
|
|
|
|
The answer, neo-Americans have essentially abandoned the original ideals
|
|
of America, are basically content with things the way are now, and are
|
|
practically willing to institute a police state to keep the status-quo.
|
|
|
|
What does this have to do with the gun control discussion? Gun control is
|
|
simply one of the first of a succession of infringements upon American rights
|
|
that will be perpetrated not by the government, but by the American people
|
|
themselves. (See also Beavis and Butthead, the 2 Live Crew, other rap and
|
|
heavy metal music arguments, and in general most arguments against tv and
|
|
movie violence.)

What is it, then, that is WRONG with this gov't that they cannot see how
|
|
this can relatively get rid of crime. Referring to that GUN CONTROL law that
|
|
is. If it worked there, it sould, in theory, work everywhere. I understand
|
|
that this is what they have in Switzerland, where there is virtually no
|
|
crime whatsoever. I do not know where you are at, but, out here in Cali-
|
|
fornia, in the major metropolitan areas, crime is OUT OF CONTROL. You look
|
|
at someone wrong and they will either pull out a gun and shoot you or they

will take you to court and sue the pants off you. If some burglar breaks

MY only answer to your response is to that "public opinion poll" you mentioned.
|
|
All polls can be biased depending on how they took it and where they took it.
|
|
I think an area of high crime might go for gun control where an area with low
|
|
crime might not be so inclined. IF 10 people were polled and 2 were for gun
|
|
control and 1 against (and the others don't respond) they can report that
|
|
people are for gun control 2 to 1 and forget (right) to mention the others that
|
|
didn't respond. Honest polls are VERY hard to take.

What about a collector? People do collect things because they like to own

a complete line of XXXX manufactorer's stuff. In ham radio you can have a

Yeah, the media is a problem, but unfortunately not the root problem. It

is fed by, but also serves to perpetuate a more major underlying social

I can understand and appreciate your disgust over the current preponderance

it impossible to refrain from replying to what I perceive as either
|

tremendous breakdowns in logic or gross ignorance of more than one point of

people believe that there is no counter-argument to their own.

Don't we have a "Soapbox" topic in the forum? Wouldn't these discussions

GNU C 2.5.8
|
|
From: KEITHBAUER To: ALL
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am trying to compile a program with the new version of GNU C. First let me
|
|
say that I have not used this version or the prior one very much. Anyway
|
|
the problem I ran into is this.
|
|
|
|
In the file included from ancadv.c:11:
|
|
|
|
This same error also comes up in the libio.h file. What is it looking for?
|
|
I can comment these lines out and the program compiles fine but I am sure
|
|
that these lines are there for a reason and should not be commented out.
|
|
I downloaded the 2 files from here called:
|
|
|
|
gcc_258_cmds.lzh
|
|
gcc_2_5_8_lib.lzh
|
|
|
|
The other files seemed to pertain to GCC+. Do I need one or more of these
|
|
files also?
|
|
|
|
Also are there any little 'tricks' that one needs to know about using the GNU
|
|
C. It seems to give alot of warnings that CC never gives me.
|
|
|
|
Thanks

You can order a back issue of "68' micros" for $4 from FARNA Systems, 904
|
|
2nd Avenue, Warner Robins, GA 31098-1029 and get the issue with a complete

get the back issue, just specify the one with the Puppo schematic.

This thread is starting to get interesting to a psychologist now! The
|
|
notion about the importance of the observer in determining what is
|
|
observed is something psychology has struggled with throughout is
|
|
history. First (Wundt 1879) we studied the mind by intrspection, then
|
|
William James, bringing psychology to the US said that the act of
|
|
observing your mind changed it so introspection was no good as an
|
|
experimental technique for discovering parts of consciousness. Finally
|
|
Watson (1913) said give up on the mind and study only objective
|
|
behavior. Unforch Watson made some politically incorrect manuevers
|
|
with a grad student and was asked to resign from John Hopkins. His
|
|
influenced waned and we're back to doing mental processes again, often

taking the computer as a model for how the mind works. Ah science!

Ummm, if you have a converted mod-pak, then you have a real RS232 port. Gonna
|
|
have to go over some basics here.
|
|
|
|
Do you use a MPI, and if so, which slot os the mod-pak in?
|
|
|
|
What addr is the mod-pak set to?
|
|
|
|
What driver and descriptor do you use?
|
|
|
|
Tuneport is for adjusting the delay constant of the timing loop for the
|
|
brain-damaged serial port on the back of the coco. This program only works
|
|
with, and is only needed for, the MicroWare/Tandy drivers that use this
|
|
port. RS232 packs are interupt driven, and do not use a timing loop.

virtual terminal

|
From: ILLUSIONIST To: ALL
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know if a product called Virtual Terminal (from South East Media)
|
|
is still available? (Maybe from another vendor at this point?)
|
|
|
|
VT allows running multiable applications from a terminal (similar to the
|
|
way the CoCo windowing works, in that you just hit CLEAR to switch between
|
|
screens) I have a program similar to VT running on my UNIX system, and would
|
|
love to run several tasks from a terminal on my CoCo...If VT isnt available
|
|
I might set out to write the program myself, but I know right off the bat
|
|
it would require pipelines to be set up, and I havent messed with pipes
|
|
that much.. and then there is the fact that the software would have to
|
|
keep a "screen shot" of the program at all times to ensure proper screen
|
|
updating..
|
|
|
|
well, any info on the Virtual Terminal software is appreciated, thanks..

|
|
Rick-
|
|
Yes, I use an MPI, and the mod-pak is in slot 2 (although it could easily be
|
|
put in slot 1 or 3)
|
|
I believe that the low byte of the mod-pak is &H68 and the high byte is &HFF.
|
|
I am using the standard driver and device descriptor. I have tried to get
|
|
SAcia, but COCOOS9 will not convert it because of its size. I have also
|
|
downloaded the Edition 9 clock module and attempted to substitute it for the
|
|
old clock, but the new boot disk
|
|
that I created failed during the bootup.
|
|
|
|
Supercomm appeared to work fine using 300 baud with the mod-pak, but it
|
|
locked up at the end of downloads and when I used the keyclick feature. At 1200
|
|
and 2400 baud, it communicated fine with the modem (an Anchor 2400E), but not
|
|
while using delphi. Delp
|
|
hi seemed to understand what I typed, but it sent me words with missing and bad
|
|
characters, especially when many <CR>'s were sent. My printer had a problem
|
|
that was identical to this, and either TUNEPORT or a new clock module should
|
|
have fixed it. Do you t
|
|
hink that Edition 9 would fix these problems?

It has been a while but lets see how much I remember. I think the answer is

in the documentation. First, you know that you can put two drive on the same

interface? If you still need more than one interface, I think the secret is
|
|
in setting up the decriptors and drivers. On the disk that Chris gives you to
|

create the descriptors, is a blank for each slot on the MPI, this should be
|
|
allow you to create descriptors that will address each controller uniquely(sp)

If you've already taken this into account, I'll shut up and let smarter guys
