I have tried to connect to my hp deskjet 960c from RedHat 8 a few times, and the best results I have gotten so far are the page mostly printed out, then it refuses to properly finish the page or roll out the paper so I tell the printer to do it manually. Then the printer usually swears at me the next time I turn it on. On Sat, 18 Jan 2003, A.

When I installed the right version for CSE142, I couldn't figure out how to run it afterward and quickly gave up. As for editors, I am already using gVim for Windows, so it should not be any trouble to find an editor I like in Linux. > > > > > > On Sat, 18 Jan 2003, Dejan Nikic wrote: > > > > > I went trough cse143 and my homework was done exclusevly on my Linux > > > laptop, my TA loved me because of that :).

I am using windows in this case because I don't feel like doing the extra work that is required to make cse143 work in linux. Anyway, I like bash and I am wondering if there is something like it that will take the place of M$ DOS(besides cygwin, which looks like it costs more than $40, I forget the exact price). My google searches for such a thing haven't come up with much but that is probably just because I have not figured out the correct search words. The feature that I am particularly looking for is the ability to remember a few hundred lines of previous commands and program output and then be able to scroll back to it. This is available to later versions of MS Dos, but not the version that runs on win 98. Also, I would like to be able to recall more than one previous command and I really miss tab completion o!f ! > fi! > > le! > > > n! > > > > ames. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > .
