    What to do With an ANS 500

    I managed to get pkgsrc working on mine, with AIX 4.1.5. Not many packages build though, as modern software expects adherence to newer standards. http://christtrek.dyndns.org:8000/pkgsrc/packages/AIX-4.1.5/powerpc It's powered off at the moment as I don't have much time to devote to it. I...

    Scott, you are asking about the Palermo I mentioned? I don't know where it came from. It was one of those things that got passed around the college dorm, I guess. Regarding my Toronto clone, I've had to cut myself off from designing characters and settle down to the hard work of fixing the...

    spammers

    No, the accounts are not linked. That kind of integration* would be a really useful feature, though. * Envisioned as four things. 1) Account creation on the forums creates a wiki account. 2) Account creation on the wiki just takes you to the forum registration page, see #1. 3) Wiki...

    Scott B, thanks for your comments. I'd really like to review all the versions of the city fonts we have now and decide which is "the best" of each. There was a (bitmap?) font I used back in the 7-8 days for icon names that, IIRC, was called Palermo. It was upright and fairly narrow, had a...

    GUI use?

    I knew someone was going to chime in with that. :)

    GUI use?

    Does anybody use a GUI on m68k unix? (I know the pool of m68k unix users is so large overall…) What's the lowest-specced unix machine you run a GUI on?

    I'm a font junky, too. :) I presume you know about all the "Mac font" pages on the wiki (e.g. Category:Typefaces)? A pet project of mine… I believe this is the largest single collection of "classic Mac font" recreations. Six at once! Until I was alerted to this, almost all of the existing...

    Second one is called Cream/Creamy/Palo Alto, and you can now get a TrueType version.

    System 7 Source Code Leak

    I can't imagine this is something that happened recently, so I assume this is "old news". But who cares? I hadn't heard about it before. Anybody have more information?

    Things Mac OS 9 doesn't do that you wish it did.

    31 characters is a long filename! The standard of comparison is still 8.3 format, right? ;)

    spammers

    Lots of spammers on the wiki lately. Is there anything that can be done on the technical side to try to stop them?

    New York differences

    Several sources mention "significant" differences between the original bitmap New York by Susan Kare and the Truetype version produced by B+H. I've never been able to find anything illustrating these, though. Anyone else? I've also seen suggestions for Times ((New) Roman) as a substitute for...

    Firefox 4 on Tiger PPC

    What kind of JS acceleration are you seeing, overall, on G3/G4/G5? Which operations are seeing the biggest boost?

    web servers for A/UX

    Find the thttpd 2.25b tarball on my site. It includes binaries and a README with the patch. No testing beyond starting it and hitting the home page. Gave lighttpd a try (configured with --without-pcre --without-zlib --without-bzip2) but quickly ran into POSIX bits that A/UX doesn't have. I...

    Firefox 4 on Tiger PPC

    b9 is definitely a step backward from b8 on my G5. Tab bar is screwy, and I've had two system panics since I've been using it. (That may be completely coincidental, but ...) So for now I've reinstalled b8.

    unistd.h in A/UX

    I installed a binary, from penelope or somewhere. It's been quite some time ago. If there were instructions to run a fix script, I'd've thought I'd've done it at the time, but maybe I didn't. Guess I'll try to look up this script and how to run it.

    unistd.h in A/UX

    Looks like it may be pulling in the wrong unistd.h (gcc's) which does not have the #define in question.

    unistd.h in A/UX

    Nope, I pass -D_POSIX_SOURCE to gcc.
