1) will not work the way you want - you can't go off writing self modifying
code or you'll get attacked by cache problems - especially on the newer chips.
2) ought to work - thats how Linux shared libraries are bound.

Writing code to do custom gif rendering is quite a neat concept. I'm not sure
how much it will save you but I don't see why you can't compile the executable
of the gif renderer into the program, or dynamically link it either at run time
as a shared library (which uses mmap()) or using the GNU dynamic linker

    Well, I've got Linux running on a 40MB HD, with GCC (no C++ though), and 
X.  This includes a 5 MB swap file.  I still have about 5 MB of free disk 
space.  The kernel source is on-line also.  I don't have Emacs installed since 
I don't use it.  (I prefer to use JOE).  Did I mention having the man pages on 
there too?   My system is basically fully functional, and quite useable 
(although it is a bit tight).

It don't have one. There is no random number generator in standard FORTRAN 77.
What a lot of Unix's FORTRAN 77 compilers have is the libU77 library, which is
a binding to a wodge of routines in the C library, one of which is a random
number generator. If someone can point me to a copy of the POSIX binding for
FORTRAN, then I might consider coding a free library up for f2c. It needs to
be cheap, (or free) as I am a poor student about to become an unemployed
graduate, so I will have plenty of free time. (At the moment I have nicked a copy of the DEC and SUN manual pages for libU77, but want to do a proper POSIX implementation).

Date: 6 Jun 1994 14:27:40 +0100

Someone was asking about reading BBC disks on a PC (under Linux, as it
happens). Comments were made to the effect that you'd need a special
FM controller as the Beeb chip used only FM. In fact, the AT controller
with a 1.2MB drive _can_ be persuaded to read these disks. We set this
as a (very hard) coursework and finally, a student succeeded last year.
In the process he rewrote much of the AT controller manual, telling the
truth. He's in Buda-Pest this year, and I think he has no access to 
internet, but I might be able to find out how he did it if requested. I 
seem to recall the clincher was to set a control word bit documented to
have some entirely unrelated function, whereupon the 1.2MB drive would
read the Beeb FM disks. It was much more straightforward reading the 
Beeb disks on a 360k drive (in an AT).
Of course, this leaves the job of decoding the directory/file structure
on the disks 'as an exercise for the student'.

Date: Mon, 6 Jun 1994 13:51:26 GMT

Hello,
I try to use the ObjectBuilder and found some patches in the directory
/pub/linux/packages/OI on tsx-11.
I applied the patches and I don't get any warning anymore when compiling.
However, at a certain point when compiling the compilation appears to get 
stuck. The .s file in /tmp does not grow anymore, compiler still runs, but
nothing happens.
The machine has 8 Mb/16 Mb swap space (486DX33), and the compiler is gcc2.5.8
(Slackware 1.2.0)

Does anyone have OI/UIB working with gcc2.5.8 ?

Ok.  I have read the Mini HowTo no BogoMips.  It states that one of the
reason to pay attention to BogoMips is:

      To see whether it is in the proper range for the
      particular processor, its clock frequency, and the
      potentially present cache. Especially 486 systems are
      prone to faulty setups of RAM caching, turbo-buttons,
      and such things.

I get a BogoMips of 1.87 for my 386SX/20, and it should be about 2.8!
So how do I check what the problem is?  I tried turning off the Turbo
button: 0.5 BogoMips or so.  Therefore the problem should be in the
cache, right?  How do I check this, or my RAM shadowing?  (O.K., what
_is_ RAM shadowing?)

Although the Mini HowTo tells what the value should be, it gives no
hints about how to fix it if it is wrong (or else I just don't
understand the hints - no criticism ment ;).

Thanks for the help!

This is wrong.  the GNU Public License (GPL) does not limit software to
being distributed for free.  If you had ever read it, one of the first
lines says specifically that "When we speak of free software, we are
referring to freedom, not price."

The GPL simply says that you must let the buyer know their rights, and
that the source code be available.  You don't even have to give it to
them when they buy something, just when they ask for it you must provide
it for free (I think that you can charge a small media distribution fee,
but I'm not sure about that).

Wow, finally some words with some hope to this problem.  I think that I'll

Let me encourage you ...

For the drivers I see relations to the hardware HOWTO (or is it the
hardware FAQ).  At least a pointer should be there to a list of
drivers in development.  So lets people see, if the is a chance for
supporting their hardware now or in future.

May be there could be an item about the planned release date (month
or year) of projects in development.

Actually, the MF bit (which selects between FM and MFM mode) works as
documented in the NEC 765 documentation (or PC Tech. Ref.), just fine on
*some* PC FDC chips (those made by SMC seem to be OK, as well as some made
by Goldstar), but it's broken in the majority of the ones sold these days.

If you know of some undocumented bit that "fixes" at least some of the
broken FDC chips, by all means enlighten us!!!

I find it hard to believe though, I can just picture some manager telling
an engineer not to spend any more time on FM mode since the PC doesn't
use it (BIOS is hardcoded MF=1, it's not in the parm table).  I'm not sure
which chips are independent designs and which are rip-offs (authorized or
not) of each other.

I think you need to use 'stty' to set your terminal's Backspace key to erase.
Use:

stty erase ^H

from the command line and see if that doesn't work.  (You need to type '^H',
not hit CTRL-H).

Which means they'll mess it up the next time they refer to it :)

>>terms. The difference is that under the GNU license, any redistribution or
>>modification must:
>>       a.) Be freely available

No No no - as has been discussed...just wanted to emphasize :)

>>       b.) Include full cource code

No No No.  They don't have to give you one line of source code when they give 
you the distribution.  Could you imagine the size of the Slackware dist. if 
every Gnu'd piece in there also had the source?  There would be a few more 
disks.   What the GNU liscence says is that they must make the source code 
availiable for free.  It does say they can charge you a fee for stuff like 
S&H, distribution medium.  

>>       c.) Also be distributed under the GNU licensing agreement

No No No -well, maybe...depending on what you mean.  True...any modification 
to a GNU program must be redistributed under the Gnu liscence.  If I were to 
ship a product that included a GNU program, say Gnu's version of sort, then 
that doesn't mean my whole product must be Gnu'd.

Now this brings up interesting points:
        a) If what Novell add's doesn't require a kernel change, then they can charge 
as much as they want and you can't redistribute it, and no source needs to be 
included.  There is a debate on whether a loadable module counts as a derived 
work.
        b) If they did make kernel changes, yes...the must make the changes 
availiable for free (with nominal charge).  Now here's where they could have 
fun.  Suppose they made some kernel changes to allow the kernel to do IPX real 
nice.  Is there anything that says when you request the source to the changes, 
that they can't just print out the changes and ship that to you, and let you 
type them in?
        c) The changes they make to the kernel, or any of their stuff that get's 
GPL'd will be freely redistibutable.  Therefore, if one person got their CD 
with this GPL'd stuff, they could upload it to sunsite (only the GPL'd stuff) 
and then the world could get it, and novell would be powerless.

Now the trick is to somehow get the Wabi stuff under the GPL  :)
