I am using the Microware compiler now (for CD-i development) but I heard the GNU produces faster code, and of course is ANSI.

The problem is that the GNU is very UNIX specific. It takes a lot of porting effort to get it running on a Mac. So I thought, maybe someone else did it already.

Wainwright 72517,676 To: Steve Wegert 76703,4255 (X) Steve, Some time ago, Tim Kientzle uploaded his latest port of TeX and LaTeX to that other place where a lot of OS9 types hang out. This is a pretty complete typesetting system for OS9. It includes Metafont (font building program), and `dvips', which converts the TeX `DVI' output files to PostScript and allows other PostScript files to be included in the final document, which can then be printed on a PostScript printer, or (via Ghostscript) previewed on the MM/1 and printed on most any decent printer. Tim K. included three versions of the main executable files in the archive, for small, medium, and large memory machines. His install script and instructions make it easy to install and run - but reference books on TeX and LaTeX are recommended. I can run things on my MM/1 and DeskJet and Epson that look like they came from a print shop. The good news: I can upload it here. The bad news: Tarred and Zipped, its 2.27 MEGAbytes long. Can you find that much room in Lib 12? JohnW ******************************** A stitch in time -------------------- ------ is worth two in the bush John R.

(OK maybe not ALL of the rest of the world -- there are a few misguided souls using WordPerfect and such). ;) Lots of the GNU/UNIX stuff I have looked at has docs in TeX format. LaTeX makes TeX ALMOST as easy as Lout, anyway. ******************************** A stitch in time -------------------- ------ is worth two in the bush John R.

Fm: Ingo Pakleppa (ECS) 100041,102 To: all Hello, I'm developed a PC application that should talk to an OS/9 system (68k) via the FTP protocol. Most of the time, this works just fine - but sometimes, my TCP/IP package on the PC end reports odd errors that I have not been able to track down. I suspect some subtle incompatibility between the PC's flavor of FTP and the OS/9 flavor. Distinct (the supplier of the PC TCP/IP software) was unable to help me. Therefore, I now decided to bite the bullet and rewrite my software, using a different package. My questions are these: - I am using Distinct TCP/IP 3.20. Does anybody possibly have experience with the combination OS/9 - Distinct and know what might be the problem? - has anybody successfully connected a PC with an OS/9 system? With which TCP/IP software? Some configuration information: In the installation in question, two OS/9 systems are connected with a (reliable) Ethernet connection. There are quite a few PCs connected to the same Ethernet; they access a Novell server. One single PC actually talks to both the Novell server and the OS/9 systems; both protocols are installed on top of the same network adapter card. I have also tried a connection between the two OS/9 systems and a PC only, disconnected from the Novell network - same result. Therefore, I'm sure that there is not just a conflict between the different network protocols. The error I get apparently usually occurs during an ftp_get or ftp_put function, and it returns error code 451 (which seems to indicate a local abort - something I definitely did not trigger). Thanks in advance for any hints, either regarding a different TCP/IP library or finding the cause of the problem! Ingo Press !>
