[S.u.S.E. Linux] IBM releases Object REXX for Linux
by mperry＠mperry.basin.com 29 Dec '97

29 Dec '97

Howdy- Just a note to let people know that IBM has released a free version of their Object REXX programming language for the linux OS. It is included in two formats; one of which is a rpm file which installs without problem in SuSE. REXX is a language written by Mike Colishaw of IBM some years ago and provides a bunch of functionality. If you have used OS/2 Warp 3 or 4 you probably know something of REXX's abilities. I have done some minor stuff in REXX and it provides an interesting and fun environment for networking, internet stuff, etc. REXX is also implemented in NT and other environments as well. There are good books on REXX at amazon as well as pretty good online stuff from IBM. Search at www.ibm.com on linux or rexx for linux. -- --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)mperry.basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You simply edit the scripts with values unique to your ISP and then run one as root. A second process, much more elegant, is to use something like ezppp or xisp. Both of these can be found at the Linux Utilities and Applications page. That page is located at www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapps.shtml. There are instructions on the home pages for both programs on how to install, make scripts to completely automate your login, etc. I am quite new at the linux stuff and managed to compile xisp with help from some list members. If you would like to see the scripts I was using before compiling xisp, you can drop me a private email and I can provide them in email. They are quite small in size. -- --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)mperry.basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Default knews rpm in suse 5.0
by mperry＠mperry.basin.com 28 Dec '97

28 Dec '97

I recently noticed that the default knews rpm available through YAST for some reason did not find my correct domain but put in one that I could not edit. I looked through the docs for knews and found out that the domain is coded during compilation time and is not resettable in the config or other files. I ended up recompiling knews 0.9.8. Does anyone use knews out there? Is there an easier way to make the default FROM: address change after installing the rpm? I have a friend who wants to use knews and has been struggling with what it says is his FROM: also. He uses "distribution x" and has problems compiling knews. We have exchanged email correspondence to no avail. He does have slrn working quite well but is interested in exploring his options as far as internet applications go. In his case, his domain is something like stargazer,thisdomain.com and knews is only putting in thisdomain.com each time. He can edit the FROM: address each time sending a post, email, or followup... It seems that there should be something as easy as adding the correct FROM: line as in a .slrnrc file. Any ideas gratefully accepted. I unfortunately can only exchange email with him. He lives across the country from me. -- --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)mperry.basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

OK...to sort some things out here...Motif is a set of library files. The included window manager with most all copies of Motif for Linux is MWM, or the Motif window manager. Usually some other demos are included as well. Also, there is a difference in cost of some packages due to the "runtime" version vs. the "Developers" version. Runtime has the needed library files but not the needed extras to owrk on developing motif based apps. Yet many companies sell only the devleopers version, thus keeping a standard cost to users. You can load the Motif libraries and not run MWM if you want, and I have to assume that is the way most users who buy Motif do. I have it loaded and running S.u.S.E. 5.1 and I am running susewm so as to have the great desktops that come with this version. And I can compile any src files that need motif. I prefer to have motif due to the superior widgets and the look and feel. There is an extreme amount of work though based on other libraries now and Motif (See <A HREF="http://www.motifzone.com/"><A HREF="http://www.motifzone.com/</A">http://www.motifzone.com/</A</A>> ), is lookin good. Yet look at KDE wchich is not Motif based. Hope this gets you started. MetroLink's Motif is probably a good copy. And all your apps should work just fine after loading Motif, mine always due.

I am considering purchasing MetroLink Motif from the SuSE web site and would like to know a little bit more about what I can expect running Motif. I now use a variety of applications like applix, the GIMP, xfig, plan, etc. These will continue to work under Motif, right? Motif, I gather, changes the window dressing a bit and offers some programming functionality? I understand that Motif also offers a lot of desktop functionality including multiple desktops, etc. Could someone comment on what I would see as an end user if I purchase Motif? Does someone have a screen capture of their desktop running Motif they could share with me? Many thanks. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Thanks for help with xisp
by mperry＠mperry.basin.com 24 Dec '97

24 Dec '97

Hi- I would like to thank everyone who offered assistance on getting xisp working. I have the latest release now working quite well on my SuSE 5.0 machine. It took a little study of how xforms compiles and where it puts things (and does not put things...). I have also sent program developer my thanks for his help. The answer for any interested was to look at where the xforms make install puts things and wehre xisp makefile looks for things. I was never able to get any of the xisp rpms working so settled on using the binary distribution that the author provides. --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)mperry.basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
