Date: 13 Mar 1994 15:31:31 GMT Our lab is in the process of converting some of our pcs to Linux, and I am in the process of compiling some very important digitization software using Tommy Frandsen's libvga.a. The software runs fine under X along with the bitpad, but using regular vga, I get no bitpad errors, but the bitpad also sends no information. Do any vgalib functions change tty parameters in any way? The bitpad needs com2's data to be unchanged ... I'm pretty well stumped on this one, since the bitpad does work under X. -- Alex 'Shroom (alex@anat3d1.anatomy.upenn.edu) ------------------------------ From: bob@amscons.amscons.com (Bob Amstadt) Subject: Re: Wine Question Date: Sun, 13 Mar 1994 16:36:33 GMT >about an API for Windows under Linux. Is one being planned? Will >it support Win16 and Win32? I'm not sure what your asking, but we will be able to run programs compiled for Windows under Linux. Also, we will provide a library form of Wine that will allow you to compile a Windows application under Linux for use on a Linux system. >What I need to know is whether I'll be able to develop for >Windows using a Linux box. Maybe a cross compiler would do the trick; Maybe. There are no cross-compilers running under Linux capable of generating the Windows executable format. However, one of the commercial DOS-based compilers may run under DOSEMU in the future. -- Bob Amstadt | "So let the people say we're down right nasty bob@amscons.com | I just say we're down right" (408) 978-5743 | --The B-52's ------------------------------ From: andy@piziali.lonestar.org Subject: Seyon 2.12 HUPCL Patch Reply-To: andy@piziali.lonestar.org Date: Sun, 13 Mar 1994 16:16:34 GMT If you have a patch for Seyon (2.1 rev 2) to set HUPCL before closing the modem device to drop DTR, please mail me a copy or a pointer to it.
