Anyone remember that nice app called Glint which was a GUI front-end to RPM? I loved that app so I had this brilliant idea to go download it and try to use it on RHL 6.2 but it sadly doesn't work. Is there any plans to update this very nice app? Thanks, Frank __

Something that most people don't understand is that "Helix" GNOME is just a distribution of GNOME 1.2. There is not much more to it than that. Any distribution that includes GNOME 1.2 will have very much the same features that you find in "Helix" GNOME. If you look at the Pinstripe beta, you'll

Here is what I get from 'man execl': int execl( const char *path, const char *arg, ...); The const char *arg and subsequent ellipses in the execl, execlp, and execle functions can be thought of as arg0, arg1, ..., argn. Together they describe a list of one or m

Questions about SLang screen management library

2000-09-03 Thread Mike A. Harris
The documentation that comes with SLang is lacking severely, so... 1) How does one enable/disable screen scrolling? 2) How does one get SLang to allow you to print on the bottom right hand corner of the screen? No matter what I do, it refuses to print on the bottom right hand corner. If

Spawning a shellscript with execl()

2000-09-03 Thread Mike A. Harris
For the life of me I can't get a shellscript to run from execl() properly. It is incredibly odd. The script "test.sh" is an ordinary shell script with permissions set to 755 owned by root:root in /usr/local/bin and is in the path for everyone. Inside an app I'm working on, I do a fork(), and th

Hello, everybody, I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I wish to know if it is planning to insert the Gnome HelixCode in the RedHat 7.0, that would be a great thing, as it it more stable and userfriendly than the classic Gnome. Thank you for your attention M
