Solaris lp to Lexmark Optra with inbuilt lpd Garth J Lancaster28-Feb-02 13:01 Garth J Lancaster 28-Feb-02 13:01  just on the off-chance someone knows this, I'm trying to config a Solaris box to lp to a Lexmark Optra 1855 with inbuilt LPD support... one would usually use the construct :- server!printer to get to the LPD (printer could also be 'queue' .. the 'server' is simply the tcp/ip address on the Optra, or a resolvable /etc/hosts entry on some LPD devices, printer/queue could be 'RAW' or 'TEXT' or 'PASSTHRU' - does anyone know the correct setting for a Lexmark Optra ?? regards, Garth Windows 2000 NTFS Custom File attributes Michael S. Scherotter27-Feb-02 12:09 Michael S. Scherotter 27-Feb-02 12:09  Right click on any file in Windows 2000 NTFS and you get a summary tab. In that summary tab, you can attach any number of attributes to the file including Author, Subject, Category, etc. You can do this to any file, not just compound document files. What are the Win32 APIs to programatically get and set these attributes in C/C++? Michael S. Scherotter Lead Software Architect Tartus Development, Inc.

There was an article about it a few years ago. There's also code from product support. Keywords might be "NTFS5". Drivers - SOS!

But I find it pathetic at times. Sometimes when the attachments are huge, it rejects them. Sometimes I manage to send them after zipping. The file size does not matter. It might send a 5 MB attachment without hassles but will then reject a 2 MB attachment. I believe certain kinds of files actually manage to crash the thread. What would be an alternatice SMTP choice for me? Free ones preferred!

Why don't you use your ISP's SMTP server? Have you looked at http://www.tucows.com. Do a search for SMTP server, it might have something you can use. You could always try Exchange 2000 Michael Re: Win 2000 SMTP Nish Nishant27-Feb-02 18:38 Nish Nishant 27-Feb-02 18:38  Michael P Butler wrote: Why don't you use your ISP's SMTP server?

I spent weeks playing with various other servers and decided that XMail was probobly best. You can download it at: http://www.xmailserver.org The server is a little fiddly to setup the basics but it doe's everything i can think off. Hint: download the additional GUI based admin tools they make basic admin much easier.

I'll try it out later. Thanks. Now to download those GUI tools.

Jon Sagara What about ?

It's not a size related problem. I can send a 5 MB file with no problems. But sometimes a 2 MB file might not go through. If it is a size problem I'd have got some message like, "The smtp server has rejected the message or something" Here, my error is something like the "smtp server has stopped responding" or something like that Nish My most recent CP article :- A newbie's elementary guide to spawning processes www.busterboy.org Re: Win 2000 SMTP Jon Sagara27-Feb-02 19:11 Jon Sagara 27-Feb-02 19:11  Weird.

Re: Restart computer from batch file Gavin Taylor25-Feb-02 7:26 Gavin Taylor 25-Feb-02 7:26  I don't remember ever seeing any direct way of it - however if you check out http://www.gavintaylor.co.uk/downloads you should find at the bottom of the page a file called 'Reboot', run this from the command line / batch file and it will reboot the workstation / server. I use it all the time for updates on live servers using the NT scheduler.

I.E the other computer is at its login screen. Standard screen sharing programs cannot be used as I think they require a server to be running on the unlogged in machine. Thanks Coremn --- Re: Logging into WinNT over network cdehelean27-Feb-02 4:34 cdehelean 27-Feb-02 4:34  You'll just need to download the free VNC server from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html and configure it to run as service. It offers some basic functionality regarding login at a WinNT computer. Red Hat Linux 6.2 With AMD Gavin Taylor23-Feb-02 1:14 Gavin Taylor 23-Feb-02 1:14  I finally got around to taking the skink wrap off my copy of Red Hat Linux 6.2 the other, walked through the installer OK and rebooted the machine. The OS begins to start, detects the processor correctly and tries to disable the CPU ID and promptly GPFs. Just wandering if anybody else has encountered the same problem - if so is there a way around it...? The machine is know to work ( Running Win2k Server and XP for months without fault ). Motherboard : ASUS A7V running latest BIOS. Gavin Taylor w: http://www.gavintaylor.co.uk Re: Red Hat Linux 6.2 With AMD markkuk24-Feb-02 21:59 markkuk 24-Feb-02 21:59  Upgrade to RH 7.2.

Gavin Taylor w: http://www.gavintaylor.co.uk Interactive batch in Windows NT Dave Midgley19-Feb-02 23:47 Dave Midgley 19-Feb-02 23:47  I'm trying to make an interactive batch file (.cmd) to run under Windows NT. The obvious way is to have a program that displays a prompt and sets an environment variable with the response, however 1) using _setenv (I'm in C/C++ here) only alters the environment for the current program, so the batch file that ran the program does not see them; conversely 2) altering the registry where the environment variables are kept (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment etc.) has no effect until a new DOS shell is started, so the batch file that ran the program does not see them; 3) the old DOS method of getting the PSP and walking up the environment areas isn't allowed under NT (and there's never enough space in the environment area anyway); If anyone knows how to write a program that can do this, or any other way of making a batch file intercative, I'd love to hear about it. (PS I know that using VBS or some other scripting language is the right way to go, but I need this to run on any NT Server machine, and the CMD processor seems to be the only scripting engine that is guaranteed to be available) Thanks Dave Dave
