- Hello,
-
- I've got a summary of answers to my last questions + a couple
- of new ones.
-
-
- Old stuff:
- 1) links: OS2 doesn't have them. WPS does, but they are only
- accesible from WPS
- 2) where WPS looks for bitmaps: only in /os2/bitmap. You can
- use find in the settings notebook to get other ones, but everyone
- knows what a pain that is.
- 3) Unix 'sort': this is on hobbes in misc_utils.zip?? (sorry, I
- deleted the .zip file) along with a bunch of other stuff like wc,
- pr, sum etc..
- 4) Calling programs from WPS menu: WPS adds the calling directory
- as an arguement to the program. The way around this would be to
- have the menu call a .cmd script that deals with this and then runs
- the actual program.
-
- Many thanks for the help!!!
-
- New stuff:
- 1) I can't stand any of the colors set by the termcap entries with
- gnuemacs. Can someone tell me which termcap agruements control the
- colors so that I can make new entries.
-
- 2) I'd like hardcopy of some of the manuals. How do I take the .inf
- files and turn them into text or, better yet, postscript. I don't
- want to print each piece out interactively with view.exe.
-
- 3) I picked up compress from hobbes. Where is uncompress???
- Is it the same file with arguements??
-
- Thanks again for the help,
-
- David
