Subject: 1999 FORML Conference Call for Papers
Message-Id: <01bee276$4fd61100$f1c385cc@bernoulli>
Hello everyone:
My name is Rich Wagner. I have been appointed by the Forth Interest Group
as the director and chairman of your 1999 FORML Conference. The conference
is a little less than four months away, and so we are busy working out the
details and trying to make this the best FORML Conference ever. I have
attached a text version of our call for papers. For an easier to read
version, please see our website at
http://www.forth.org/misc/forml21_call.html (or go to the FIG website,
http://www.forth.org and follow the "conferences" link) and be sure to
check there regularly for updates on prices, attendees, papers, sponsors,
and details on the sessions. This year's theme, Forth and the Internet, is
sure to produce some exciting and useful papers, so be sure to attend!
Rich
=====================================================
21st FORML Conference
on
Forth and the Internet
November 19-21, 1999
Asilomar Conference Center
Pacific Grove, California
=============================
Call for Papers
FORML welcomes papers regarding Forth and it's use in Internet- or
network-related programming--topics such as:
- Forth-based TCP/IP protocol stacks
- Techniques providing access to operating system-supplied TCP/IP stacks
and their socket API from within existing Forth systems
- Modifications to the Forth kernel which support and improve network
programming
- Development of network client and server applications in Forth
- Network-based solutions for real-world problems
- Networking with embedded systems
- Forth as a learning and rapid prototyping tool for network programming
Of course, papers dealing with the use of Forth over any network are also
welcome, as are papers dealing with Forth topics that don't adhere to the
conference theme.
We also strongly encourage and welcome submissions from outside of the
United States.
Please submit the title and abstract of your paper to abstracts@forth.org
by August 31, 1999.
=================================
FORML is the annual conference of the Forth Interest Group, and is devoted
to in-depth technical discussions on Forth and its applications. The
conference originated as the primary forum for proposing (and challenging)
modifications to the Forth language -- hence the source of its acronym:
FORth Modification Laboratory. It continues as the leading Forth technical
conference, and is attended by both expert and intermediate Forth users and
developers.
Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with special
discounts for early registration. Space is always limited at the this
beautiful Pacific Coast Conference Center, so be sure to register early!
=================================
If you have questions or comments regarding the conference or submission of
your paper, contact the Forth Interest Group:
Email: office@forth.org
Phone: (831) 373-6784
Fax: (831) 373-2845.
Or contact the conference director:
Email: director@forth.org
Also, be sure to watch this website for more information as the conference
approaches!

Hi,
Both the Berkeley DB library and the perl module DB_File build
fine on Win32 - if you're using ActiveState's perl, you can get
DB_File through the Perl Package Manager (ppm).

Why? I mean: if you're going to process the file in parts anyway, why
not go all the way, and simply process the file one line at a time?

Hi,
What's the best way to do this in Perl?
diff file1 file2 > difference.txt
I have a script that creates two files on the fly, and I want to compare
them, and output the differences to file, similar to diff.
I can't seem to find docu on this, and would appreciate any ideas or
pointers to info.
Thanks for any advice.

Subject: FAQ 1.3: Which version of Perl should I use?
Message-Id: <MPG.12187e3055c4daec989695@nntp1.ba.best.com>
I'm working with a client running CGI scripts with:
This is perl, version 5.002
"FAQ 1.3: Which version of Perl should I use?" says in article:
http://language.perl.com/newdocs/pod/perlfaq1.html
"All releases prior to 5.004 were subject to buffer overruns, a grave
security issue."
I want to suggest they get rid of this version, but they might like to
see more information about the problem than just the FAQ reference.
They are also running:
This is perl, version 5.005 built for sun4-solaris
so I don't know why they have the old version around. Any reason their
scripts running under 5.002 wouldn't run fine under 5.005?
Thanks,

Hi,
Do you not even get an error message? This could be a number
of things ... As you're on Win32, probably you should be
using 'nmake' - do you have that? Also, for this module a C compiler
is needed - do you have one installed? What happens if you
type 'make test'? A more verbose transcript of your session
would help pin down the problem.

> BEGIN failed.......compilation aborted
That's probably because you didn't install the module with
'make install'. If you're using ActiveState's perl, you can
get the DBI module through the Perl Package Manager (ppm) -
details come with the documentation ActiveState supplies
with the distribution.

Making cookies? That would require a cookbook. The Perl Cookbook, of
course.

I leave them on the table and they vanish in no time at all. I've never
found that to be a problem.
When not cooking, please read CGI.pm docs.

You have to watch out for browser compatibility with this one. Netscape
does not support it prior to 4.0. I ended up writing my own for a project
I was doing (which only required uppercase A-Z):
charCode = new
Array('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'
);
function chCodeAt(s) {
if( navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")>=0 &&
(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("3.")>=0 ||
navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")>=0) ) {
for( i=0; i<charCode.length; i++ )
if( s.charAt(0) == charCode[i] ) return i+65;
return -1;
}
return s.charCodeAt(0);
}

The fact that you have a viable email address has little to do with
anonymity. Usenet is a one-on-one medium. Anonymous addresses are
occasionally tolerated for various reasons, but they are generally still
representative of an individual. It is evident that
usenet@questionexchange.com is not.

The purpose of your messages is not participation in a discussion. A
reply to your address may or may not reach the actual author and a
followup from your side may or may not come from the same person.
It is your business is to sell answers for money. This gives your
postings the nature of freebies with the only purpose of drawing attention
to your enterprise. It is advertisement, pure and simple. On usenet
we call that spam.
This is the last thing I'm going to say about this. If you continue
your behavior, as seems to be your intention, it will turn out if
I am alone in my opinion.

You do realize that the contents of unquoted tag attributes are very
limited, so that a general path name will not be acceptable? Only
letters, digits, hyphens and dots are allowed.
So, this will probably work:
s/(<img src=)"([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)"/$1$2/gi;

Subject: Digest Administrivia (Last modified: 1 Jul 99)
Message-Id: <null>
Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
