Well.. since you have some experiences with Pascal I would definitly recommend you Delphi. It's cross-platform (latest edition for Windows is Delphi 7 and for Linux there's Kylix 3. Kylix has also C++ IDE, so you may just as well develope C++ applications) and you can get it for free from Borland's website. Anyway, here're some free eBooks you might find useful: Bruce Eckel's Free eBooks (Java, C++, C#) Essential Pascal (Pascal) Essential Delphi (Delphi) Good luck!

I guess I did... :x Sorry..

Quote: Quote: What exactly is Delphi? I have never heard of it before. Is it a C library or an entirely different language? It's the descendant of Pascal for Windows by Borland, except with a Visual Basic-like interface building paradigm... "RAD" type (rapid application development) using the Object Pascal engine by Borland. Delphi is a programming language which is based on the object-oriented extension of the Pascal, and I think we both have agreed on this. But... just for Windows?? ;( Ouch, ouch, ouch... And what about Kylix?! It uses the Delphi language.. so Delphi is not just for Windows!!

Go to Edit->Preferences->Fonts and change fonts there...

Quote: After much research: there is no way to control margins in a PDF document; this is just an inherent limitation of Acrobat. (...) Yes there's!! Maybe not with Acrobat, but still there's a way to control margins... I'm not so certain that this is a suitable solution for you, but take a look at: http://www.miktex.org http://www.latex-project.org http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf

Read "Creating a CD/DVD"->"Bootable CD" section: ftp://ftp6.nero.com/manual/NeroBurningRom_ENG.PDF

Since when AV began to be hardware or software dependent?? Quote: (...) and BTW mine is Norton, but since that post up there, hehe, well what can I say??? (with no offense) None taken.. and by the way, I'm using Norton too..

Try Kaspersky Antivirus.. In my opinion even better than Norton.

All you need to do is to create an image of the linux boot sector.. Type this while you're in Mandrake Code: dd if=/dev/hda7 bs=512 count=1 of=/mnt/win_c/linux.bin where hda7 should be your linux boot partition, might be something else.. like hda5.. so check "boot"- line in "lilo.conf" ..and add this to your "boot.ini" file Code: C:\linux.bin="Mandrake Linux 9.0"

Quote: Quote: Installed MS .Net SDK lately? Uh-huh... there WE go...!!! As I suspected above, not being sure of that runtime engine's name... The "attack of the 50-foot .NET runtime engine" lol... I wasn't going anywhere... A friend of mine had a similar problem and, as I can recall it, it had something to do with .net sdk he had installed earlier.. Quote: (...) Yea... that's why I prefer using Borland Delphi & it's default "statically linked" .VCL vs. MSVC++ & VB's "dynamically loaded" .OCX ActiveX methods of programming. Delphi's faster due to that design (and other things about it) & less parts to distribute (or to forget to distribute like it looks like in your case). Plus it CAN be cross-platform.. (I'm talking about Kylix here)

Installed MS .Net SDK lately? Quote: Thw whole error message lists 10 different locations where this file can't be found most of which are in the WINNT folder. It just pointed that the PATH doesn't contain specified dll, so, putting this dll into any of those locations would solve your problem. Anyway, it would be best to copy it into System32 directory..

ln -s to libjavaplugin_oji.so from .mozilla/plugins if you use mozilla

You're welcome Well.. this may also help you, since you started talking about autoexec.bat.. Bash Shell Scripting

Modify/create .Xmodmap in your home directory and add: Code: pointer = 1 3 2 Read this if you need more information: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO

You can download RH8 from here: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/ Changes/packages/etc.. http://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=redhat

First of all, why do you need autoexec.bat? 8) If you explain us what your intentions are, so maybe we could come up with something that would help. Finally, nope, you won't get autoexec.bat working in linux..

Quote: Oh for the love of...... Is this going to become a weekly topic? No less than twice a week we get a "which OS is better" thread. Can't people just do a search and see what has already been said on the subject? totaly agree with you Anyways, in my personal opinion, WinXP doesn't offer too much that you can't get from Win2000 and requires more from your system. But once more, it is my opinion

It's pretty much what Bursar has already posted (and yes, it's in win2000): 1) Right-click on My Computer -> Manage 2) Services and Applications -> Services and look for Indexing service (under Services of course) 3) Set it to Manual (right-click on it and choose Properties) 4) Go back to Services and Applications and go to Indexing service -> System -> Directories and set them to No

It can't get easier than this... Just follow the instructions Theophile has posted and you should be fine. PS: just 'cd' to MPlayer-0.90rc4 after you extracted your files. README should be there.

Quote: First of all, you're going to irritate a lot of people by referring to "linux 8.0". ...has already started to bug me "8.0"... hmmm.., it's probably Red Hat. Quote: Just log in with your root login (or whatever user) (...) root? ;( dmighty, a little piece of advice, NEVER use root as your user account Quote: can anyone recommend a site for newbies to help with with linux 8.0.. some basic commands , etc... This may help, http://jgo.local.net/LinuxGuide/ http://www.onlamp.com/linux/cmd/

hmmm... had absolutely no problems installing VMWare on Mandrake 9.0

Quote: Also is there a video player available besides X-ine which I can't seem to get wmv type files to play. Get mplayer, it plays wmv just fine

or... switch to Phoenix
