11/30 Under tcsh, what's the diff. btwn 'setenv' and 'set'?
\_ syntax: set foo = bar, setenv FOO bar
set is for shell variables, setenv is for environment variables
setenv vars are inherited by child shells -jctwu (oops)
setenv vars are inherited by child shells -jctwu
\_ Of course, you spelled it wrong. It's fubar not foobar. hehe
\_ set foo = bar works for one var, but correct syntax is
set foo=bar so that then you can say:
set foo=bar blah=fwipple prompt="%B%m%b %~ %B[%t]%b "
\_ thx.
etc.. --dbushong
\- the "correct" syntaxt is spaces on both or neither side
of the =. if those two cases behave differenently, it is a
odd-implmentation choice or a bug. This works just fine:
set foo = "splat" bar = "frob". [with or without quotes].--psb |

11/29 Is there some way to telnet into uclink4 and manually delete things?
Say someone sent me a 30MB file and I can't download it over my
modem. Is there a special port number or something?
\_ the third option under Pine's setup lets you set your SMTP
server. You can just set that to <DEAD>uclink4.berkeley.edu<DEAD>
\_ why would you do that? your smtp server is your outgoing
mail server which the unix server you're running pine on
already has (unless you're running pc-pine or your sysadmin
is too stupid to not install sendmail).
\_ the easiest way might be to use PINE (or any other similar mail
client), and set uclink4 to be your mail server, browse through
your messages, and delete the 30MB file.
\_ Pine doesn't support POP.
\_ Pine has supported POP for years for those with
enough brains to read the F'qing FAQ, plus UCTwink4
now supports IMAP, so you just fucking lose all around.
\_ I would have read the F'qing FAQ but all I had
was the pine man pages. Perhaps you could post
an url for the official pine faq.
\_ From the pine main menu, choose setup, then
update. It gives you some messages to read,
one of which is a pine FAQ. - mikeym
\_ Plus, you can use fetchmail, so all Unix mailers now
"support" POP.
\_ slap your friend. -jor
\_ When uclink4 was young you could get in using ftp, but the
uclink4 nazis stopped it.
\_ Easy. Mail consult@uctwink4.
\_ never mind, i found it. for anyone interested it's
telnet uclink4 110
user [your user name]
pass [your password]
list
dele [message index]
If anyone has an url describing POP3 syntax that would be
greatly appreciated.
\_ ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1939.txt is appropriate.
The man page for fetchmail(1) is really good for listing most
of the big standards that apply to Internet e-mail (though it
doesn't cite RFC 974, "Mail Routing and the Domain System",
which is very important). -- schoen
\_ It's also a good idea to do this (and POP3 in general) through
SSH tunnels. This is very feasible with UCLink4; see e.g.
"http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Secure-POP+SSH.html" (and
yes, it works with non-Unix SSH clients). -- schoen |

11/29 Hey all, my company is paying for my relocation from SF to LA. they
said that i can just give them a fair quote of what it would cost
if i hired movers and they will just give me the cash and i can
rent a uhaul. anyone know a fair price to move a one bedroom
apartment with furniture down to LA?
\_ What company is this. If you're a CS major I'm surprised that
you're passing up possible bay area jobs for something down in LA.
\_ 1) Questions end with a question mark: '?'
\_ csua motd grammar is different than traditional grammar
ie: f u cn rd ths thn u cn gt a jb n cptr pgmmg.
\_ that wasn't funny when you posted it yesterday,
either. -tom
\_ tom, you should be the last person to judge
other people's sense of humor.
\_ sign your name, wimp. -tom
\_ It's not a motd standard to sign name.
\_ it's still cowardly to insult someone
without signing your name. -tom
\ It's not so != that u can use ie when u mean e.g.
2) By moving to LA, he may get a significant raise in buying
power. And hey, maybe he doesn't want to live in the bay
area--had you thought of that?
\_ And the less people who stay in the Bay Area, the
better the standard of living for the rest of us
natives.
\_ I would have loved to stay in the SF bay area. But
as it is, I can actually afford a 3 bedroom house with my
$70K salary (on a 15-year mortgage) down here, and not
have to dodge bullets or druggies going to the corner.
\_ He also has few alternatives to moving out of LA if he
decides he wants to leave this company. BTW, the money
they give you for moving may be taxable. -jor
^may^is
\_ It's tax-exempt if (simplifying) you stay with the
company for a year, but if they pay it to you as
income, you'll have to itemize deductions to avoid
paying taxes on it. Better yet: save receipts for
all move-related expenses (including movers,
transportation to LA, temporary LA hotel, etc.)
and have company reimburse you -- then they
handle the deduction.
\_ Why not call some movers for 'an estimate?' You're shopping around
anyway?
\_ Exactly. How much it'll cost depends on weight and their
time. If you have them pack, get better insurance than the
standard 80 cents/pound, etc, the price goes up. Getting
that insurance requires that they pack your stuff. That
costs also. Get an estimate that includes proper insurance
and packing costs for breakables and give tham # to your
employer. --been there |

11/30 does anyone know a good reason for or against the laptops
by IBM? I'm thinkingoof the i-series $1999 with 13.3TFT screen
any advise is greatly appreciated...
\_ Once you start using a ThinkPad you probably won't go back to
anything else. You can tell that IBM spent a lot of effort
in the ergonomic design. Sure, you can't do any hard gaming
with the nipple, er, TrackPoint, but it is far superior to
a touch pad, and the button layout is also *sane.* (Apologies
to Toshiba users.) The keyboard's pretty nice too. I am
very pleased with my 380D. Too bad I can't use it at work,
since "work" assembles a competing product. -- tmonroe
\_ bah. Give me a trackball any day. HP laptops.
\_ if you don't like IBM laptops, you don't like laptops
\_ agreed. actually, IBM makes high quality machines in general.
It used to be advertised that you could drop an IBM box
and it will still function properly. That was a while ago
though.
\_ While running?
\_ probably not. It's like a Volvo. Sure it can survive
a 10G impact but it won't look pretty.
\_ The IBM ThinkPad 600 I have seems to work well. -appel
\_ what do people think about chembook, sony and toshiba laptops?
\_ you don't want anything but ibm. ibm laptops rule.
\_ Sony Laptops are pretty but somewhat fragile
Toshiba's are nice, esp the polished magnesium casing.
\_ i'd like sony on top of my lap.
\_ Give it up Daveh |
