Unless this is a different operation with a similar name, don't bother.
Computer Rennaisance is pricey and, based on a scientifically inadequate
sample of one (oh, I wish he had asked me for help *before* pissing the
money away), not very good at fixing simple problems.  When he finally
asked me to lok at it, after months and many trips (with a toll each time,
of course) to CR, it was something almost as trivial as setting the hard
drive's parameters correctly in the BIOS.  That wasn't it exactly, but it
was about as close to rocket science as that.

Let me put it this way: I had told him, more than half in jest, that I'd
look at it and if I fixed it he should pay me half as much as CR had
charged him for not fixing it last time he took it in.  After it was done,
I felt bad taking that much for healing it (but at that point he was
insisting, and I had to be firm to keep it at half their fee).

Hmmmm, I hadn't realized that I still needed to talk about that.  Thanks,
doc.  Nice restful couch you have here in my office.  ;-)

Hello all.

        I'm working on a program, that is, upon user's
        choice, produce a verbose output of a process; i.e.
        how much is done, and how much is left.

        I have seen programs using a bar such as these:

        [............                                    ]
        [........................                        ]

        to summarize the progress.  (Unfortunately, none of
        the program's source code is available, AFAIK)

        Now, I have no problem printing the dots. :)  The
        problems creeps up when the number of operations to be
        done are larger than one line's characters (usually,
        80), and I want to use only *one* line for status.

        Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nikita.

P.s.  Following is the source code, showing how little I
was able to accomplish.


------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main(void)
{
                unsigned int sampleSize    = 800;
                unsigned int sampleDone    = 0;
                unsigned int otherNumber   = 0;
                unsigned int count         = 0;

                sampleDone = sampleSize;
                
                if(sampleSize < 80) {
                                printf("Small\n");
                                otherNumber = sampleSize + 1;
                }

                if(sampleSize % 80 != 1 && sampleSize > 80) {
                                printf("Multiple\n");
/*                              otherNumber = (sampleSize - 9) / 9;
                                otherNumber = 72;
 */
                } else {
/* Primes, and numbers not evenly divisible by 80 */
                }

                while(sampleDone > 0) {
                                if(sampleDone % otherNumber) {
                                                count++;
                                                printf(".");
                                }
                                sampleDone--;
                }

                printf("\nOtherNumber = %d\n", otherNumber);
                printf("Count       = %d\n", count);            /* How many dots we 
have. */
}

As Neil Christie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pointed out in private email
is this the fault of Outlook and not Qpopper. Here is what he
had to say:

The POP3 RFC suggests that duplicate UIDLs are acceptable for example
in the situation that there are two identical copies of 1 message in
a mailbox.

As such the fault is with Outlook etc in failing to handle this as
opposed to in qpopper for generating / allowing them.

Whether the POP server should accept incoming  UIDL headers in the
message or always generate its own is another issue.
