Toast, I am generally calm. Of course I've checked that the plugin was in the correct location for both IE and Netscape. Chimera is perhaps a nice solution for an individual, but not for a class. My gripe is that a new version of both Netscape and IE were launched without resolving the issue...

Its not a matter of what One likes or dislikes. Netscape has used plugins in the past versions and Acrobat offers the PDFViewer plugin as a method of accessing pdf files. I simply am asking that they provide the functionality that they offer before they release upgrades. We run a teaching WEB...

Has anyone noticed that Netscape 7.0 does not recognize the Acrobat 5.0 PDFViewer plugin. So to view pdf files you must download each and every one and open them externally in Acrobat. Well, if the pdf has a link and was intended to be opened in the browser to follow the link - You are screwed...

blb, Thanks, I think I understand that now. It doesn't explain the other oddities that violate standard unix conventions. daw

Scruffy, Thanks for your help. getcwb does return the current working directory, but the man page is just wrong. You can read what it says, but it does not return the size of the path string with "size_t size" as stated. I tried it as written and got unreliable results in different programs...

Scruffy, I thought of that one, but it does not necessarily leave you with portable code. Apple is in the driver seat on this one. The change the unix standard should not occur and it needs their attention. The problem is getting some action. They either feel this is a low priority or do not...

I've encounter a roadblock in porting OpenGL applications to Mac OS X. The problem centers around the "current working directory". Normal unix applications inherit the current working directory from the parent not the application, e.g. a call to fopen() looks to the directory from which an...

I sent this to the Apple feedback site on OSX, but they may need to hear it alot to take action. So If you agree, pass it on to them on me. Date: January 9, 2001 To: Apple Computer, OSX Development Group From: Donald A. Winkelmann, Ph.D. Assoc. Professor of Pathology and Laboratory...

Buried in the Development tool release notes I found this answer to my question: c++ command The c++ command no longer tells the compiler to link binaries with the math library via the -lm compiler switch. [Nothing more, thats all, period!] I believe this means that you don\'t need to link...

I downloaded the Developers tools yesterday and have them installed and working fine with OSX PB. However, I can\'t for the life of me locate the C math library \'libm\'. Its discussed in man and math.h is in the include directory. I can find most of the other common libraries, but no libm.a...

Thanks, iRock. I searched a bit deeper and found the MacOS9 folder on the OSX partition. That folder contains the System Disc tool that allows you to switch from OS9 to OSX. DUH! I was back looking at OSX again and comparing it to LinuxPPC with MOL. Apple needs to port a complete development...

I\'m running a 3 week old G4 cube with 256 mB ram and 30 gB disk divided in 4 partitions. First (5 gB) is OS9, second (5 gB) is OSX and the two others are for me and my data. I have experience with alphaLinux, LinuxPPC, Intel Linux and SGI unix. With LinuxPPC on an iMac I can boot into either...
