There can be no CAPITAL LETTERS in this file. So even if the
address in the From: field looks like
gonzo.ucr.edu!bkohler@uupsi2.UUCP, keep the letters
lowercase in the aliases file.
As always, you have to restart Mail.app before these
changes take effect.
NewsGrazer:
In /LocalLibrary/NewsGrazer/People put a tiff (64x64)
in the form of person.remote.site.domain (all
lowercase). This is a different naming convention from
what Mail.app uses.
There is a large archive of some 4000 or 5000 pictures
prepared for this purpose. The name of this archive is
Faces3.tar.Z and it is about 4.1 MBytes large. Currently
it is available from several anon ftp sites (e.g.
sonata.cc.purdue.edu) in:
/pub/next/graphics/Images/icons/people.
That image archive also contains a script which
automatically creates proper alias and passwd files.
*** Subject: M5. How do I access the "help" facilities in Mathematica 1.0?
While the help dialog doesn't show anything, you
can get the help info by clicking on the place where the
slider bar should be. This tidbit doesn't seem to work on
all systems though, and will be irrelevant once the new
version of Mathematica comes out. [Which it has].
*** Subject: M6. How do I find out what are the defaults for a NeXT application?
A command line utility for examining defaults is
available from sutro.sfsu.edu:/pub/wmdefaults1.0.tar.Z.
A PD App, DefaultMgr.app, is available on the NeXT ftp
archives.
A more brute approach (done by DefaultMgr.app):
Start the application under gdb, and then try the
following sequence of commands:
break *0x500976a
commands 1
silent
printf "%s: ", *$a2
output {char *}(4+$a2)
echo \n
cont
end
run
*** Subject: M7. How do I run NextApps remotely?
On the local machine make sure you have public window
server access, this is set from the Preferences
application. On the foreign NeXT machine run the
application from a terminal window with the -NXHost
<local_machine_name>. Both machines should be running
the same version of NeXTstep.
*** Subject: M8. Why does UUCP hangs on outgoing connections after sending the password, but other communications software do not have a problem with it?
What is happening is that the remote machine is waiting
for you to end your login or password by typing a "Return"
(aka ^M or CR or CARRIAGE RETURN). UUCP ends a line by
sending a LineFeed (aka ^J or LF). Since UUCP doesn't send
the CR, the login sequence is never completed, and you
will usually get one of two error messages:
wanted "password:" (means that username needs to end with a CR)
imsg waiting for SYNC< (means that password needs to end with CR)
So how do you get UUCP to send CR, instead of LF?
End the send string with the sequence \n\c. For instance
this line in L.sys will send a LF after login, but a CR after
password.

*** Subject: M9. How do I access the NeXT's Digital Websters Dictionary from a program?
Get Jiro Nakamura's define program from the archiver
servers define.tar.Z. This will allow you to access the
database from the command line.
*** Subject: M10. How do I remap the \ and | keys on my keyboard?
NeXT introduced a new keyboard configuration with the
040 products. The \| keys which had been located on the
main keyboard was moved to the numeric keypad. Many users
have since complained about it, and a work around is to
remap these keys using the demo application Keyboard
(/NextDeveloper/Demos/Keyboard), Mike Carlton's
keyboardfix program (on cs.orst.edu
next/sources/next-interface/keyboardfix.tar.Z)
which lets you put these keys on shift-return or
shift-delete. One can hope that there will be a choice of
keyboards in the future.
*** Subject: M11. Why doesn't email registration to Mathematica work?
There is a bug with this option where the mail instead of
being sent to Wolfram is stored in /tmp/email.message.
This file seems to be suitable for mailing to
register@wri.com
*** Subject: M12. How do I stop NeXTMail/Sendmail adding\ ^Ms onto the end of lines?
