FAX Modem Software
Message #36549
Greetings, all; I've got a ZOOM fax modem, and I'm looking for some fax-modem software that would work with it. Recieve with OCR would be *really* nice… Any Pointers? – via Whap!
FTP
Message #110793
FTPmail is really just internet mail where specially formatted messages are sent to a robot requesting some limited FTP interactions. The results are bundled in to a series of byte(uh, bite)-sized pieces, 60k or so each. The bundles are numbered and mailed individually. You retrieve them and paste them back…
Neat! The more GNU tools I see, the happier I am. – via Whap!
Do you mean to say that you have a *port* of G++ for AmigaDOS? *Where* did you get it? (eagerly waiting) – via Whap!
Thanks; I'll pass that along. Mike Haynie
GadToolsBase???
Message #20617
A friend of mine is trying to do some programming in C on a A3000. He's having trouble linking with the gadtools library — the library base vector doesn't seem to be resolved at link time. He asked me to pass along this query. Any ideas? Wanted: A small example…
Hey! The GNU idea is to get around lawyers! (and owership of software, but that is a topic for another day/forum). As I read it, to support/work with a GNU thing only requires that you not charge for the GNU part. I'm quite comfortable with their stuff. I use it…
butting in; I'm another one of those neanderthals that likes the command line operation. I just work faster when all 10 fingers are busy. PS> More interesting threads these days; excellent! Mike Haynie
That difficulty is thanks to the advent of ANSI C, I think. ANSI vs K&R 1st ed. gives me heartburn at work as well. ( a very small flame ) Mike Haynie
When you are young, you can program around the clock. When you are older, you don't need to. 😉 aging in Cleveland. Mike Haynie
#UN*X requirements
Message #4959
What are the chances of Amiga Un*x being available on (more or less) stock 2000's? Does anyone have a clue? Mike Haynie
I recall seeing both the question and the answer last week. Mike Haynie
Very true. Normally the malloc() library will insulate the programmer from the difference, but sometimes….. Mike Haynie
OK, no more hair splitting, I'm just comming from the C angle. Mike Haynie
(my View! mail program just crashed: this may be a repeat.) The only public version of C++ that I know of is the distribution from the GNU folks. It is a very portable code and will likely make the transition to the Ami without real difficulty (If it hasn't already).…
(butting in…) Sorry, but the heap is NOT the stack! The stack is an area of memory reserved for return pointer, parameter, and local variable storage for functions and procedures (as discussed in this thread). The heap is basically the rest of system memory. It is memory that is not…
The IQ of a committe is inversely proportional to the sum of the squares of the IQ's of the individual members! ;-> Mike Haynie (who wants to know?)
MUCH better than my explanation!!!!!!!!!! ThanksMike Haynie (bought a Quantum; can't find any Quantum Mechanics…)
You are right, of course, given the assumption that hex constants are 8bits only. The problem is that ANSI compatable compilers have to be prepared to deal with 32bit (or is it word sized?) hex constants. (Note: in ANSI usage hex constant is a name for _character_ constant…) If the…
The sequence \0x9b0 defines a 12bit integer; a character is only 8 bits, which explains the error. Your compiler is giving you grief. I presume that you are trying to send the console device control sequences. One possibility is to embed char 9B in the source file at the right…
I cannot claim to be an expert on file compression and the associated algorithms, but I do know where you can find good articles on the subject. The Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery is a professional journal devoted to issues in Computer Science and has been published for…
Mike, We cannot offer any MiniScribe repair as they are no longer in business. There are lots of 3rd party repair houses that may be able to fix them, but it may cost close to the cost of replacing them. You should call our service department at 503-967-9081 and talk…

Pascal to C translator
Message #113590
A random question w.r.t usenet; Have you seen a path to the TEX document formatting program? How about GNUEmacs?
