  You can see exactly what objects are in memory and see who is

Here's my situation; when my team goes to a hotel we don't like paying
$15 for each person to access the internet.
So I bought a Linksys WTR54GS and its utter crap and must be replaced.
It crashes when there's a large download like from youtube or CNN video.

So I'm trying to share a hotel's wireless internet connection with four
other machines - also wirelessly.

Easy solution if you have at least two Macs, with only one additional
piece of equipement: an Ethernet cable.

Mac A connects to the hotel WiFi network, and has Internet Sharing
enabled to share from Airport to Ethernet.

Mac B connects to Mac A via Ethernet and has Internet Sharing enabled to
share from Ethernet to Airport, creating a new wireless network.

Any other computers connect to the wireless network created by Mac B.

Mac A will have a single NAT layer (hotel's) to the Internet.

Mac B will have double NAT, so some applications might not work properly
(e.g. iChat with audio/video chat).

Other computers will have triple NAT, which shouldn't be any worse than
double NAT.

The big disadvantage of this method is that the wireless network created
by Mac B is limited to WEP for its security.

If you want better security on your private WiFi network, then you just
need one Mac, an Airport Express and Ethernet cable.

One Mac connects to the hotel WiFi network and has Internet Sharing from
Airport to Ethernet.

The Airport Express connects to the Mac via Ethernet, and is set to
"Create a wireless network", with connection sharing "None (Bridge
mode)".

All other computers then connect to your private wireless network. They
will all have double NAT. Mac A is doing the NAT and DHCP server for the
rest of the computers.

[directions for expanding an existing wireless network snipped]

David:

Thank you for your always excellent advice (no sarcasm).

I was staying at a Doubletree in Minneapolis this past weekend, and had
my iPad with me and no laptop. The hotel had free WiFi in the lobby and
wired ethernet in the room. Since I had only the iPad, which does not
have an ethernet port, I couldn't use my iPad in my room, but had to go
to the lobby to connect to the internet.

So I take it that if I had had an Airport Express, I could have plugged
it into the room ethernet and used the iPad in my room? Correct?

Does the Airport Express need any configuration or setup in that
scenario, or does it work out-of-the box when you plug it in?

Thanks.

unfortunately, the airport express uses apple proprietary software
rather than a normal web browser to configure it, and that software is
not available on the ipad. you *must* have a mac or windows computer to
run the airport utility.

a much better choice in that situation is a non-apple router that can
be configured with mobile safari on an ipad.

I have one.  Under older version of OS X you could also maintain multiple

I use it at home as the interface from the Mac to the stereo (Airtunes);
However, I have a configuration for on-the-road which allow it to be used
as a wireless router for such configurations (ie. wired ethernet).  Use
the AirPort Utility in /Applications/Utilities to configure it.  Simple.

You'll need very closely arranged rooms if you want to share a WiFi
connection from one room in the hotel to other rooms. Good luck with
that.

Doing this in a hotel which charges $15 per connection will almost
certainly be violating the terms and conditions of use of the hotel's
network.

If you really don't want Java on OS/2 ot Workspace on Demand, then don't
install Java. From what I've seen of WSOD, it doesn't depend on Java, but
supports it because OS/2 does (uses the same JVM). Its a simple solution
that solves your problem.

***No.  If such an impulse response is not centered at t=0 then it has an

By superposition, the Even part transforms to a real, even function and the
Odd part transforms to an imaginary, odd (antisymmetric) function.
If it's centered at zero, the Even part goes away.

Adel,

No. As above.  Shifting in time introduces an even or odd part like this:

Take any arbitrary f(t) that is not either all even or all odd.  You can
split it into even and odd parts like this:

fe(t)= [f(t)+f(-t)]/2
fo(t)= [f(t)-f(-t)]/2

So, the real and imaginary parts of a Fourier Transform do change if a real
time signal is shifted relative to where you decide to define t=0.  Only if
you shift t=0 along with it does it stay the same - in which case you have a
"floating" definition of your time frame.  The only exception one might note
is a periodic (thus infinite) waveform where you may or may not deal with
ambiguities of time shifts in increments of 2*pi radians.

Hello, Fred.

Yes, I am wrong here,
I have meant to say that the __DFT__ views the time domain as
circular, with sample zero inherently connected to sample N-1. Any
signal that is symmetrical / asymmetrical around sample zero will also
be symmetrical / asymmetrical around sample N/2, and vice versa. When
using members of the Fourier Transform family that do not view the
time domain as periodic (such as the DTFT), the asimmetry must be
around sample zero to produce a zero real part of frequency response.
Original question of I.R.Khan was about DTFT of course. So you are

No need to be sorry - we're all just trying to learn something.

I guess I have to respond by saying that it doesn't matter if the frequency
function is sampled or not (and thus, whether the time function is periodic
or not).  The discussion about time shifting doesn't really change - except
the time shift eventually gets back to the same point if it's a circular /
periodic function.  So, the pictures could have been on a circle instead of
an infinite line.

subject: Mac Netscape causes MacMosaic problems ?

text:
Has anyone else has NCSA Mosaic go all strange after installing and using
Netscape for a while ? I've found that Mosaic on my machine keeps coming
up with "cannot locate host" errors as well as other stuff which basically
prevent me from wanting to use it. I am sure that it is the presence of
Netscape on my machine that has caused this, because I have another
machine with _no_ Netscape and _no_ problems with Mosaic.

How likely is is that MCom have put something into their code which causes
a part of Mosaic to become corrupted ? (After all, the Netsape team is
comprised of a lot of ex-NCSA people). And if they have, is this illegal ?

Not that I really care...I have found that I vastly prefer Netscape. But
all the same....

I am using Adaptec EZ CD Creator 4.05 and Direct CD 3.05 and have several
problems and questions.

1.  I have run the System checks to check the speed extraction rates however
everytime I continue to burn a CD is always wants to check again.  I simply
click cancel for each hard drive (I have two) and the copy process continues
flawlessly.  How can I get this to quit checking every time I burn?

2.  I read of a technique for saving disks.  Instead of burning a CD-R, I
use a CD-RW instead and write to it using EZ CD Creator.  When I need to
update the files I simply format and re-write again.  It works.  I use a HP
9700I.  Tonight when I tried this using a CD-RW it would only write at
either 2X or 4X.  After writing the disk I tried a CD-R (16X) and it showed
writing at the higher speed.  Does the Adaptec software change the recording
speeds based on the capability of the CD used?  Most newer CD-RW's don't
show a rated recording speed.

1. I think that if you let it finish it's speed test instead of cancelling, it
will store the results in the System Registry, and not keep asking you to do
it.  I run ECDC 4.02 at home, and I let it run the tests after installing, and
it doesn't keep asking to run the speed test.

2. Unlike CDR disks, which have no readable speed rating, CDRW disks have a
readable speed rating.  The software is supposed to query the disk to find out
what it's maximum recording speed is, and not exceed that.  I suspect that the
CDRW disk you used has a 4X maximum rating.  Generally, the High Speed CDRW
media (4x-10X) is clearly marked as such.  I think that it would be safe to
assume that if the CDRW doesn't specifically say it's High Speed, that it's low
speed.

subject: Wikis (spawned from Re: Printing why's (poignant) guide to ruby IIRC)

text:
I wamted to reply to the comments on wiki vs. mail lists but I misplaced
the original post--I think it was in the "Re: Printing why's (poignant)
guide to ruby IIRC)" thread:

IIRC, the poster preferred mail lists because he thought it was easier
to search (archived) mail lists for information.

I find searching archived mail lists very difficult, at least with the
"normal" search tools provided by mail archives.  (I haven't used Google
much for that purpose, but if the archive is indexed by Google, things
are much better.)

On the other hand, there are a lot of ways to look at (and use) a wiki.
Wikilearn is (has been, and will be again) my attempt to capture
snippets of useful information and find them again easily, and not just
for myself but for everyone on the web.  Although someone could "read"
WikiLearn, that is not the normal approach I intend--WikiLearn is
indexed by Google, just go to Google and search for whatever you
want--hopefully (I know), sometimes you will get a hit on a WikiLearn
page, and, with more luck, it will be the resource that "hits the spot"
with just the information you need.

So, for me a wiki is a way to quickly write a web page and put it where
Google can index it.  (It is about the quickest way I know about, so
far, but one of the reasons I'm here is to learn Ruby so I can write the
next wiki like thing which will be even faster (the reason I've
curtailed my additions to WikiLearn in the last year or so is because
creating pages (on TWiki in particular) is just too slow.

Another advantage of a wiki is that if I start a page and have some
errors or omissions, anyone can come along and correct those problems.
Further, you don't have to quote my text, you can just insert your own
comment (signed or unsigned depending on good wiki practice and perhaps
as customized for a particular site or type of page) at an appropriate
place.

Furthermore, that can minimize the amount of text you have to read
through to get an answer.  I'm sure we've all seen the email threads
that go back and forth for 20 posts and finally develop a short,
succinct answer--but many of the posts quote so much other material that
you go crazy trying to find that answer.  (This can happen in wikis too,
but that is not the goal, and, for example, if you haven't been involved
in the (wiki) thread but come along and see that situation, the goal is
that you delete all that intermediate information and make a "nice"
transition from the question the short, succinct answer.  On the other
hand, some threads result in a difference of opinion, with more than one
"acceptable" (or "irrefutable") answer--then the refactored version of
the page could say something like, "40 people weighed in on this
subject, 22 felt the world was round, 16 believe it is flat, and 2 have
held out for other views". ;-)

I don't know how to edit an email thread to create such a summary. ;-)

regards,
Randy Kramer

PS: I don't know if I mentioned that Google was indexing WikiLearn about
once every two weeks, I haven't checked recently, it may be more often.
There is a local search "engine" to search entries since the last Google
crawl.

In case it is of interest, I've been experimenting with having a folder
in my imap mailbox that I drag interesting email messages that I wish
to archive to.  A script then periodically checks that mailbox and adds
messages to my wiki.  The wiki doesn't need wikiwords, but instead
makes links automatically whenever the title of a page is mentioned, so
it forms a (for me) useful blur of a wiki and a mailing list archive.

If you would like to play,  a rough first attempt at the code is hidden
away in the current release of Soks -
http://rubyforge.org/projects/soks/  - (look in
soks/lib/helpers/mail2wiki.rb, activate by calling from your wiki

Alternatively, you could turn off the option to automatically junk

% man sshd2

SSH WITH TCP WRAPPERS
       When sshd2 is compiled with TCP wrappers  libraries,  then
       the hosts.allow/deny files also control who can connect to
       ports forwarded by sshd2.

       The program names in the hosts.allow/deny files are  sshd2
       or  sshd  (depending  on  how  you  execute  sshd2), sshdï¿½
       fwd-<portname>, sshdfwd-<portnumber>, and sshdfwd-X11  for
       forwarded ports the ssh client or server is listening.
...

However, this only restricts what hosts may connect to a forwarded port,
not which clients may use port forwarding, which is what I think you were
asking about.  SSH2 does not have that feature.  It wouldn't be terribly
useful, anyway, unless you're also going to restrict shell access --
otherwise, you can easily tunnel arbitrary traffic through the SSH
connection.

The spindle motor on the current generations of Seagate (and almost
all other) drives is a DC servo motor that is about the same as
used on direct drive phono turntables.

On drives such as the ST-251R, etc., the problem is apparently the
stepper motor that controls positioning of the heads.  When the
drive powers up, the stepper is commanded to release the head
assembly from park.  There is a fail-safe that does not spin up the
platter if the heads don't release.  At least, that's how it was
described to me.  Sounds backwards to me.  I'd think you'd want the
platter moving before releasing the heads, so that there is
sufficient air motion to fly the heads.  Hmmm.  The repair person
said the poking the head stepper motor shaft would cure the sticky
Seagates.

I have a 20 meg drive here that says "Epson" on it, but appears
that it might have been OEM'ed by Quantum.  This drive suffers from
so-called stiction (sticky + friction ??).  Apparently, the
platters were supposed to be lubricated with some sort of silicone
stuff,... but it didn't work.  When the drive stops, the heads
adhere to the platter in much the same way that machinists guage
blocks stick together due to the ultra flat surfaces.  The only way
to get the drive moving is to poke the flywheel with a screwdriver
because the spindle motor doesn't have enough torque to break the
heads loose.  Miraculously, the drive hasn't gotten any damage from
the sticking heads, eventhough it is not auto-parking.  The drive
electronics for the spindle motor are working correctly.  There was
an article in one of the August 1988 issues of PC Week that said
stiction was relatively frequent failure mode seen by a drive

A  Serial  To  GPIB  converter,  while  being  a  good  solution for those

The most serious, perhaps, is that IEEE-488 will send and receive data at
rates which are far higher than most computers can reliably send and  re-
ceive serial data. The reliability of Amiga serial receiving drops drama-

Twin-X General Purpose Input/Output Board: $329
SBX-GPIB (A module implementing IEEE-488): $199

Twin-X can support 2 modules so after adding the SBX-GPIB module, there's
still one more available.

SBX-GPIB comes with a diskette containing our hardware level driver (actually
implemented as a library) as well as several sample applications.

By The Way: ASDG offers a developer program under which ASDG will provide
hardware at a discount, technical assistance, and certain marketing and
logistical help. Our aim is to encourage the development of applications
which might not have been brought to the Amiga without the existence of
a general purpose i/o board (twin-x).

Hmmm...  it'll convert the a (with a natural in front) an octave

Try it!

Also - try to save music with triplets as SMUS.  Reload it.  What happened to

If you use HTML as ODS-destination, what should SAS do? In HTML there
seems to be no other way to pass some special chars to the browser to

displayed. If you need them anyway to be displayed, you must "tell" HTML
(or better: the browser), that in that special case the use of & is NOT a
trigger, but it is to be displayed on the screen.
I see no other possibility to tell that to the browser. Maybe some HTML

it's the only way. And if you pass things like 'a > b' or '&text' to HTML,

You just have to reasonably limit the level of recursion so you don't crash
your stack.  You can also increase your stack size in the link script if
it's currently a little too limiting.  This is also a balancing act because
you only have a finite amount of memory to work with - allocating more to
stack takes away from other things (I don't pretend to be an expert on this,
you'll have to get the juicy details from others :)).

By setting a condition which tells the function WHEN it should no longer

stops, than all will be OK.

   Like most testimonials these need to be taken with a grain of salt. A

He's a graphic artist and he says that at Photoshop and 3D rendering the

being one of the programs in which the P6 lagged. Again his testimonial is
only a testimonial.
   There's no way Intel would print up a negative testimonial nor would

one reads the top of the Photoshop testimonial one will see that Wojnar

   Nope, just carefully selected them all. If you took a peek at the
Mathematica testimonial, they didn't actually *run* Mathematica and
comment on the computational speed-up, but rather they mentioned shorter
compile times. Unless you're a developer who really cares how fast
Mathematica compiles? A statement to the effect "Mathematica on the
Pentium Pro performs as well as the best RISC workstations..." would have
been a more interesting testimonial to workstation users, yet there is no
such statement.
   Of course Apple, IBM, Motorola, etc. are just as guilty of choosing the

Was it under warranty?  If so, and by "go down" you mean hardware failure,
then all support was doing was exercising IBM's obliations under its
warranty agreement.   I guess they could have acted like they didn't care,
but how hard is it to send a box to an address?   Maybe they spent a lot of
time with you troubleshooting, I'm not sure.   I find support on the whole
to be polite, meaning to do well, but inconsistent and sometimes downright
incompetent or uninformed.   Here's some examples of what I'm talking about,
based on 4 calls to support last week alone:

- call up IBM support to discuss the problem with my thinkpad not being able
to play cds/dvds.  The guy takes down the information, determines I have a
defective combo drive and gives me a case #.  After the new combo drive
arrives days later and yet still doesn't resolve the problem, I call  IBM
support back.  This time, the customer rep can't find my previous case # in
the system.  So, he asks for my name and phone number but he can't find my
case history with that either (which is incredible given the number of times
i've called and they've been able to pull up the records with just the name
and phone number).  The customer rep says he'll have to enter in all my
customer information (i.e. address, name, phone #, etc.) again, even though
their database has case history from my lemon of a thinkpad dating back to
last year, maybe dozens of entries.   when i suggest he look up my case
history using my serial number he says ok, and i give it to him.  he finds
it.  whoopie.  So then, this rep starts asking me to describe the problem
all over again - which I do, painfully.  Along the way, he asks me for my
serial # and model.   I tell him I just gave him the serial number.  He says
"you did?", and I say, yes, that's how you found my information, remember?
"Oh, oh - sorry about that, heh, heh".   He determines that because the
combo drive (the new one) won't work, it has something to do with IBM DLA
software, and asks me to remove it.  <sigh>  I remind him how it took me
forever to get DLA, Record Now, and several other applications loaded on my
Thinkpad because EZ-Serve reimaged the hard disk with the wrong disk image
during the last trip to Memphis for service (on an unrelated problem).  He
states that there is no other recourse, so I close my eyes and remove it.
Reboot and still no cds/DVDs play in the combo drive.  Finally, he
"determines" that the OS is corrupted and I need to apply the recovery
disks - which, thankfully I had IBM ship out to me, as EZServe never put the
<f11> recovery partition on the hard drive.  I have to hang up with him so I
can get the disks.   Anyway, the bootable recovery cd can't be read from the
combo drive (it just spins and the cursor just blinks).   I call back to IBM
support to report this status and I get another rep, who *again* can't find
my records for 15 minutes, then *again* has me describe the problem.   Ugh!
After explaining my frustration at the whole process, she agrees that I
should talk to a supervisor or *somebody*, *anybody* in a higher capacity.
Suddenly, I'm on hold and she's hunting down her super.   She comes back,
explains that he is not available to discuss the problem with me and that
he's escalated the issue and somebody should call me in 24-48 hours.   I ask
to speak to customer service (it is about 9pm eastern time).  She says sure,
and instructs me to "press 1" when she transfers me over.   I get over to
customer service, and option #1 is if you know the extension of the person
you want to talk to.  Option 2 is to "leave a message because, we're
closed".   It just gets worse, and worse.   48 hours have passed and I still
have a dead machine that cannot boot at all because, suddenly, it comes up
with a blue screen with "Inaccessible_Boot_Device" on it.

This is IBM?   Unbelievable.  I'm not saying I think they're products are
bad, as a matter of fact, I *still*, even after what I've been through,
think the A30p is a nice machine (when it worked).  But I'm starting to
wonder what the workers in that IBM Mexico plant were doing on the day they
built mine.

Oh, almost forgot my favorite line from IBM support whenever they think you
might have a bad hard drive:

IBM: Run the drive fitness test
Me:  But the drive fitness test requires a floppy drive and the A30p doesn't
have one
IBM: Actually, sir, it is an option
Me: Yes, I know, but I didn't get that *option*.
IBM: Ok, do you have a another IBM floppy disk?
Me:  Uh, no.
IBM: You must have a floppy disk to run the drive fitness test
Me:  I heard you say that the first time.  Again, my A30p didn't come with a
floppy drive
IBM: You'll have to take it to a IBM certified repair center.
Me:  Where's that?
IBM: In the town blah blah blah
Me:  That's about 45 minutes away, and I'd really rather not go to the
trouble for this test
IBM: Or, you can send it to us (EZServe).

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.   Long story short, after pressing
the phone against the laptop so the moron at the other end could hear the
**KNOCK** **KNOCK** **I'M ABOUT TO FAIL-KNOCK** sounds, did they agree to
replace it.  The unit still ended up getting sent to Memphis-EZ-Serve, got
the new hard drive but the wrong disk image (after holding up sending the
unit back to me for over 9 days so they could *find* the "right" disk)

Thinkpad

When I purchased my A30p, it was -the- most expensive A series model there
was, the "flagship" A series product if you will.  I think I paid just under
$3500 for it (tax incl), and that was after a 10% corporate discount.  I
think you could get a stripped down bare bones A series for just over 2K but
you didn't get wireless, and all the other "goodies".  I think the most
expensive was the T23 decked out with everything (at that time - this is
going back to last fall).  That was, I believe, around $3800 or more with
tax.

I have posted my experiences with my A30p units (i've had two now) on this
forum since getting them last year.  I wish I could say it's been the "IBM
experience" I read about and the experience that led me to choosing IBM.  It
has been nothing like that.

The problems fall into three categories, A.) Hardware, B.) EZ-Serve and C.)
Help Desk Support.   Long story short, I have what's known as a "Lemon" in
the car business.  Been through hell with this A30p, everything from
defective, knocking hard drives, to defective LCD screens, to a machine that
would crash inexplicably every time it was booted up (with SVCHOST.EXE
errors) to a Bluetooth folder that would always pop up when the system
booted, to EZ-Serve fucking up almost anything they got their hands on, to
totally incompetent 1st level support, and the list goes on and on and on.

But not to disagree with you entirely Kirk.  For what it's worth, Apple had
announced that "OS 8" would only support PCI PowerMacs back in February 96
-- so complaining a year after the fact seems silly to me.  I suspect that
many people don't remember the original announcement, and are "hearing it
for the first time" with the Mac/Next hype.  Besides, as much as Apple may
want to abandon NuBus, I don't think they're competent enough to have the
new OS ready before 1998.  So live it up.  NuBus is fine for now.

Dennis is right about the bottom line -- splitting the Mac into two
Operating Systems is fragmenting the market.  My next OS will probably be
Beatnix (the Be + Unix merge).

subject: Question about the web application running in the oracle database with RAC

text:
There are two web applications which locate on different mathcine
servers running on the same oracle 10g database with RAC. One of the
applications works well all the time, the other one also does work well
in the beginning few days, but after few days it will quickly slow
down, if I reboot the database it will work well too, but after few
days, it slow down too.

I have tested that they both worked well on the oracle 8i without RAC.I
also tested that they both worked well on the oracle 10g with RAC if
just run one of them, if run both the above problem will come out. I
have done many tests and assumptions, but there is no answer.

Who expert know what cause this problem? What should I do ?

Thanks in advance!

The details of detecting dynamic memory exhaustion can be hidden

You've asked a FAQ so I'm posting a "pre-recorded" message. It's only
fair. :-) Your post is either about "what modem do I use?" or about
the notorious "winmodems" aka "losemodems".

If you need a new modem or are pulling out hair trying to get that
"losemodem" working try MultiTech's MT56* line of modems:

 http://www.multitech.com/PRODUCTS/MultiModemZDX/
 http://www.multitech.com/PRODUCTS/MultiModemZDX/os_compatibility.asp
 http://www.multitech.com/NEWS/MultiModemZDX/Reviews.asp

We've had great success with these at our clients that use *nix and
OS/2 systems. You can find these at several online stores as well as
your local computer resellers. These are a mid-range price at a
little over $100. FYI, "low end" modems are usually under $100 and
"high end" modems are usually over $200.

More information about modems can be found in the modem section of
"The Unix Hardware Buyer HOWTO" at tldp.org:

  http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unix-Hardware-Buyer-HOWTO/modems.html

Read it, especially parts 7.3 and 7.4. Then go and start reading here
for a gritty and humorous treatise of internal vs external modems:

  http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/#internalmodem

For information on many modems pre-tested with Linux see this:

  http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html

Note that the above site *does not* just cover "losemodems". Many
real modems appear in the "Big List" there. Real, external modems
will work pretty much anywhere a modem is needed.

If you *insist* on using a "losemodem" then see this site:

standards specify certain protocols for modulation (currently v.92) and
compression (v.42bis or is it v.44 already?). These are standards and
modems that support the same protocol will have about the same performance

text:
Today I was able to reproduce a long lasting and very annoying problem
of my home workstation also in the office. So it is not a hardware problem
as I once thought (my graphic adapter - not my LCD monitor - has many
pixel errors and so I first assumed there might be other errors as well).

Ok, it wasn't exactly the same situation, but the symptom is the same:
DECW$SERVER goes into an infinite loop at prio 6 and renders the system
unusable.

Fix is to kill the process via AMDS/AVAILMAN (from another VMS or a PC)
and then start CDE again. But then all my sessions are gone and I hate it.

Workaround could be reducing the priority of the DECW$SERVER from 6 to 4
to avoid blocking other processes (with prio lower than 6) but I so far
haven't it done (Loosing all my sessions is the bigger problem and this
I can't workaround).

Note: I have this bug now for months/years, means, I surely have it
for more than the most current version of VMS and/or CDE.

At work, I was able to reproduce it within seconds by opening a big (8MB)
PDF with XPDF, at home it happens often when switching context menues in
(MOZILLA earlier and now in) CSWB, but I was so far unable to reproduce
it at will (so it seems it's time for a big or much bigger PDF now ;-)

btw: @home PWS433au/640MB/3D30(ZLX2-E,GYA0) @work PWS500/256MB/?(ZLX2-E,GYA0)

Anyone seen the error/symptom ?
Maybe already sent to VMS support/engineering ?
Ideally a fix is now underway ?

Many TIA

I had assumed a memory symptom, but at the home system with more memory,
the PDF could be much smaller to force the loop. Or so it seems.

The Open3D LP kit installs a new 2D DDX image (the base kit has a 2D-only

for
a routine.  There is a collection of code (MI, MFB, CFB) that is commonly
called
by HW DDX's - in particular MI.  In a specific case - I think it might be a
particular clipping instance - the TGA2 DDX calls the MI routine to draw a
zero width line - but the interface changed.  So the OLD image that came
with the LP kit is calling a MI routine in a new image (the DIX image) and
poof - a bug.

If you have Open3D installed, but you are not doing 3D.  I "think" you can
have the effect of getting rid of the TGA2 3D logic by renaming/deleting
the file sys$manager:decw$server_ddx_gy_wmb.exe;*  (note that there is
also a file that is "...wmb_gy".

But to be doubly sure, get your V7.3-2 distribution and copy anything in
the [SYSLIB] area of the form DECW$*GY*.EXE to your system *as well as*
deleting the file above.

Sun's support of applets is less than enthusiastic.
I suspect they have put the host of applet problems

The easiest way to develop applets is to make a
combined applet/application, an applet that can
be launched in a (J)Frame is a lot easier to debug
(in your IDE, with breakpoints).

Then once the application is nominally working,
run a few tests on a number of browsers (and ideally)
OS's, just to check the applet does not fall afoul
of any of the many problems that are caused by
interactions with a VM via a browser (and which
cannot be really reproduced in anything but 'that
version of that browser')

After reading your posts, I am still not clear
on either what the applet needs or what, indeed
the problem is that you are investigating
(and having that information clear, would

I cannot see that VJ++ could do anything here,

Hello!

I believe the only ones capable of helping you out with this are people that have worked this particular instrument. Since I cannot try it out myself (don?t have access to the instrument) I can only guess how it could look like but not be sure whether my programming will cause any errors or not since the documentation of some of the VIs are kind of vague and that is most likely due to the fact that the people working with the instrument has such a good understanding of it so these parameters are pretty much self-explainable.

But the example called ?ke2000 Read Multiple Example.vi? seems like a good start, where you can enclose the trigger VI and read VI with a while loop so the init and measurement function are located outside the while loop to the left and the close and error handling vi are located outside the while loop to the right (with all wires still connected). Now you should be able to do something similar to a continuous acquisition. Then you can add necessary timing functions and so on.
