I first tried it on a G4 iMac I had sitting around (all my other production boxes were not yet on Jaguar, a sensible delay). No issues with it whatsoever. After upgrading my CUBE to Jaguar I installed it there with no problems. I was not pretending to eve come close to a production machine...

BTW, jEdit is opensource and readily available for MacOSX. If you on X11, also check out nedit and gvim. dani++

I got around to installing it on a test machine just to get the feel of it. It was a tedious and mostly unremarkable process (I am sure you know about). It seemed to work perfectly and had no issues with it. Afterwards there were the O'Reilly articles which I found very insightful and helpful...

I also use a Logitech wireless mouse (around 40€ in this case) and it works great (drivers are quite decent). The quality of the official Logitech drivers as well as the regular updates makes me wonder if there is not an exec or two at Logitech that is using a TiBook or the like. :p...

It should be a killer feature, but I keep forgetting they are available. That might be because the implementation is not good enough? dani++

Don't worry. Using UNIX is quite tricky at times. Just get patient and get the notion that is the most Mac-unlike way of doing stuff ever (though Fink and other tools help a bit). However, it is damn useful sometimes (and imprescindible on some businesses). Play with it carefully and with...

I am not in front of my CUBE but I'll try to pull some ideas from chemical memory. There is a version of 'cat' that can accept input and spit it out via Apple speech routines. Source code available (pretty trivial). Many things can be greatly enhanced by this, MacOSX only. Can't remember...

Well, it is pretty normal. Please give some time to reading the manuals and FAQs at fink.sourceforge.net. On the other hand, to use Fink you need to have the developer tools installed. They either came in a CD with your retail version or you can download them if you register (free) as a...

I believe that support ofr the DVCPRO codec has been added recently to QT. Would that be a DVCPRO-encoded AVI file? dani++

I think that ColdFusion standalone lets you run CF apps. ColdFusion J2EE lets you run CF apps on top of Java J2EE servers (like JRUN). dani++

Try out the new Oracle 9i developer release, that will install plenty of client libraries to access oracle. With those you can compile opensource GUI and CLI tools to access oracle. Moreover, there are several mac tools to acces an oracle server, do a lookup of 'oracle' and 'sql' in...

Yeah, there is the lifesaver xmodmap directive to make the Alt key really work on international keyboards. there is also more useful info and tidbits. dani++

Uh, check out http://www.misplaced.net/fom/X11/ dani++

I am in front of my CUBE right now. The util that modifies the keyboard mappings is xalled 'xmodmap', the manual is not very helpful. The util I used to capture X11 events is called 'xev'. It is also included in Apple's X11. xmodmap accepts file that have lines like: keycode 26 = 1...

The same problem here (but on a Spanish keyboard). This has been a real pain in the ass for some time... Not much help anywhere (I google'd and posted querys on forums). After some digging and man page reading I found two nifty little X11 apps. One is called 'xmodmap' and can assign X11...

Thank you very much!!! We'll try those coordinates... BTW, where did you obtain this particular data? Best, dani++

Does anyone know the European satellite data to get the MW Expo broadcast? The various websites only mention USA satellites... Thanks in advance, dani++

No idea, but can offer suggestion on X11 if necessary. Greetings from a fellow catalan. :D dani++

Mmmm... I have not reproduced the problem. I'll try it (maybe naming a terminal with some accented chars). I installed XDarwin via Fink and AFAIK it only installs stuff on its own subdir and on /Applications so no libs on /System should be modified... What XDarwin did you install? I...

I have had some better success using AppleScript to call terminal commands or scripts and saving them as apps. You can easily turn those apps to background ones using a series of tricks or utilities (search on this forum). That is very convenient as then they do not show on the Dock. There...
