Subject: Splitvt 1.5.2 moved!
Date: Sun, 15 May 1994 23:53:16 GMT


        The newest version of splitvt has moved!
It can now be found on sunsite.unc.edu in the /pub/Linux/utils/terminal
directory.

Files with the .shz extension can be decoded with the command

        gzip -cd file.shz | sh


Here is the original announcement for splitvt:

Announcing Splitvt version 1.5.2 !

What it is:

        Splitvt is a UNIX utility designed to split your screen in
half, running a shell (or the program of your choice) in each half.
This can be very handy if you want to see the results of two programs
at the same time, but don't have X, or, if you want to work in two
windows at the same time over a modem.
Some people even like to run splitvt in X, just to have two programs
running in the same window.
Splitvt is a complementary utility to that great program 'screen',
and can be used in combination with it to have a variety of split
virtual screens.

What's New:

        Splitvt has a few new features since version 1.5.
There is now a -norc option to suppress startup from your custom
.splitvtrc startup file.
The top and bottom bars have been removed to give your screen
more real estate.
Splitvt now supports some obscure features of xterm that allow you 
to click your mouse in the window of your choice, eliminating the 
need for you to hit those pesky control keys to switch windows.
(Note: this feature is only available to true xterms)

Where you can get it:

        You can get this program via anonymous ftp from
sunsite.unc.edu in the directory /pub/Linux/utils/terminal. 
The file is in a gzipped-shar archive, and can be uncompressed
with the following command line:

        gzip -cd file.shz | sh

If for some reason, you cannot ftp it, then feel free to send
me email at slouken@cs.ucdavis.edu and I will be happy to send
it to you.


Troubleshooting:

        You shouldn't have any problems compiling splitvt
if you are on a UNIX system that supports pseudo-terminals.
If you are on a UNIX box, chances are good that you can 
compile it.  Look in the README file in the archive for a list
of systems splitvt is known to work on.

        By far the most common problem people have had is
splitvt not being able to open enough pseudo-terminals (ttys).
This can be caused by many things.  If your system isn't one
in the README, it might be that your system handles pseudo-
terminals differently than any I know.  Often, not being able
to open enough ptys is caused by too many users on the system
or too many pty-intensive applications running (these include
xterm, screen, telnetd, expect, etc).  If this happens, try
waiting a while and try again.  Another problem that can occur
on some systems is pty hanging.  This can happen when applications
quit and go into a zombie state, or if the kernel gets confused
about the state of the pty.  Generally, if you can, try to
reboot.  This clears all of the hung ptys.
A good telltale to whether or not lack of ptys is splitvt's
problem is to rlogin a few times to your local system.  If you
are able to log in properly (without a message like 
"rlogind: out of ptys"), then the problem is probably with splitvt.

        That said, most people have very few problems with
splitvt, and I hope you are among them that enjoy my fine utility.

Oh, the idea for this utility came from the brain of Daveola Ljung.
Thanks Dave!

If you have any questions, comments, complaints, cash, ;-)
send me email at slouken@cs.ucdavis.edu

Enjoy!

        -Sam

If I would be nasty, I would point out that 'Main street' isn't
very usual outside the US and Canada. In Sweden I would say we have...about
none, and I think we come up on about the same score as China, Germany and
Botswana. :-)

But I'm being boring and not adding to the discussion, so I wont.

Good.  I'll take a look at it.

Also, has anyone made a www page for Linux?  Complete with logos,
links to the newsgroups, distributions, FAQ lists, pictures of Linus,
and sound links of Linus saying "Hello, this is Leenus Tooolrvolds,
and I pronounce Leenux as Leenux."?

Wooaah!  Just answered my own question.  SunSITE has an excellent www
page at http://sunsite.unc.edu/, with a link to your Linux page at
http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/mdw.html.  This page of yours has everything
but FAQs!  It has the info-sheet, the meta-faq, the Doc Project's
Manifesto, the software map, all of the HOWTO's (conveniently broken
down into hierarchical indices), the Installation and Getting Started
manual, links to other Linux www pages, ftp links, and even photographs
of Linus and yes, sound bites of him saying "Hello, this is Leenus
Tooolrvolds..."!

Great page, Matt!

I have a question that I am hoping someone out here in netland can answer. 
I've got a Linux box with SLACKWARE (kernel v1.0) and I've got an ethernet
connection to the net.

I can telnet (to & from), ftp (to & from) and send mail to anyone, but I
cannot receive mail.  I can send mail to remote hosts and when I telnet to 
the SMTP port (25) and do VRFY username, all the local users generate an 
error message.  Now there's gotta be a way to fix that.  I've tried everything
I can think off, but my knowledge of smail config is limited.  

Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance

You should check your Xconfig file to see wether it points to the
right device in /dev and that it is setup for the right type of device

  Gio,

  Check out 'man od' and its options. Maybe that can
  help you out... 
  An 'apropos dump' could also get you started...

It's quite common for a hardware vendor to have master disks supplied by
Microsoft.  It's also perfectly legal.  Purchasing the machine gives you
the license for DOS/Windows/Spam/Whatever.

A while back I did a review on 20-odd 486's.  All came with DOS/Windows
bundled.  Two had the full Microsoft kit with manuals for both DOS and
Windows (this was back in the DOS 5.0 days).  Five had slimmed-down
Windows manuals.  The rest had no documentation for DOS or Windows.  I
doubt these were pirate copies, as the last thing any vendor wants is
to have "XYZ supplied pirate copies of DOS/Windows" splashed all over
a magazine review...  <g>

Subject: Iomega tape drives
Date: Mon, 16 May 1994 09:34:42 GMT

Hi....

Does anyone out there know if Iomega tape drives are supported by linux - 
I'm thinking about getting hold of the 250 MB version.  If they are not
supported, can anyone suggest an alternative (around 120 GBP) - I gather
that the "Jumbo" series of tape drives are supported - would I need to get 
extra drivers or do they come with the Slackware release?

Thanks in advance,

Nick.

I was just reading Michael K. Johnson's "Introduction to the GNU C
Library" in the Linux Journal where the author claims that the "GNU C
Reference Manual" exists in electronic form but fails to point out 
where and how to get it.

Can anybody clue me in on this?

Thanks,
Joe Pannon

It appears it's been put in /pub/Linux/utils/terminal instead...
