They have tourqed off EVERYONE in the industry, except MickySoft. Today we see notice that nmap is NO LONGER available for SCO. I'd like to see OO, SO, and ALL current packages pulled. Maybe this is those fools at SCO need to have happen. How long can they last, paying their legal bills, when they continue a decline in business, and it takes a loooooong time to play with the big boy in court (IBM)? SCO wants to act like MickySoft, but they don't have the money nor the class to pull it off. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft®.

how to use wine
by Jose Sanchez 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hi, I was trying to use wine but I encountered some problems. I was trying to run the Macromedia products, the only products that make me use Windows. I run winesetup and I just clicked next on everything. Then I tried to use macromedia Flash and worked fine, no problem at all, however when I tried to open Macromedia Freehand 10 it didn't run and I got the following log: Wine already configured, run 'winesetup' to reconfigure. err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) MSVCRT40.dll (which is needed by Z:\windows\E\Program Files\Macromedia\FreeHand 10\kpsys32.dll) not found err:win32:PE_LoadLibraryExA can't load Z:\windows\E\Program Files\Macromedia\FreeHand 10\kpsys32.dll err:module:PE_fixup_imports Loading module (file) KPSYS32.dll (which is needed by Z:\windows\E\Program Files\Macromedia\FreeHand 10\sprof32.dll) failed (error 14). How could I get this program to run. I also tried Macromedia Fireworks. I began to initialize and then stopped with and error that said error initializing and that was all, I didn't have log files, etc. What could I do. Thanks Jose

GETTIN' MY MOJO BACK(OT)

Ol' Cring frequently has an accurate "leak." Fred GETTIN' MY MOJO BACK By Robert X. Cringely(R) Posted June 16, 2003 In all the commotion lately, I somehow forgot to book a plane ticket to Anchorage, Alaska, for the marathon next week. So, the small fortune I spent for last-minute airfare is simply adding to my nervousness about the race. Oh well, I guess I can't back down now. Now That's the Ticket Speaking of expensive tickets, one of my moles reported that Team Redmond might be looking to buy Accenture, the $11 billion consulting company. Apparently, Microsoft and Accenture have been engaged in some intense talks, with folks frequently flying back and forth between Redmond and New York, particularly during March and April. Even big bad Ballmer was spotted walking through Accenture headquarters recently in The Big Apple. These companies would make good bedfellows - what with Accenture building and selling .Net tools and all. A deal like this would certainly boost Microsoft's quietly growing services unit. But given the software giant's vows not to compete with its army of partners in the services realm, such a deal is bound to create turmoil. Hmm. Even with my financial straits, I don't think I'd apply to Accenture for employment as a consultant anytime soon. AT&T Eyeing SCO Without even knowing it, SCO may have started a war of attrition with much larger enemies that have deeper pockets. Within the halls at AT&T, folks were chattering just last week that AT&T still has reserved rights on Unix. Naturally, the company is paying close attention to the various legal claims that SCO is making and may join the battle soon. My spy said the word around AT&T is that this will all be resolved shortly. But one has to wonder how long SCO could survive if it had opponents in multiple courtrooms - those being, of course, IBM and AT&T. My friend Reilly commented the other day that I appear to be getting my mojo back. I hope he's right, because I am going to need it for this race. I just wish Apache could run with me.

by Donn Washburn 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hey Group; I have heard that grub will boot from drives other than hda. To that I have a bootable version of knoppix on hdb in partition #1 that I would like to boot. I would like to get grub to do just that. I have edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and so far no luck. man grub is of no help. info grub is a copy of man grub - so no help also.
