    Why is writing C so hard!

    I'm quite sure that Domain/OS, the Unixy-like OS used on some of the first true 'workstations' by Apollo Computer was done in Pascal.

    no x windows on remote servers

    usually done w/ setting the environment varialbe display. In {t}csh: setenv DISPLAY name_of_box_to_display_on:0 Or, usually, you can do it on the command line when you invoke the application such as: gimp -display remote_machine:0

    retropsect and wireless backup clients

    well, I can't address taht directly but I just got Retro Express 5 for OSX and ran into a problem where I could not get it to do the Internet/FTP style of backup (able to log into the FTP server but problem building a binary data connection to FTP server). Works fine under OS9 though :(...

    no x windows on remote servers

    when your sitting on the 'remote' machine, it seems like you haven't set the DISPLAY environment variable which tells the application where/which machine the window should open on.

    traceroute behind NAT router

    As a point, the Asante router used to fail traceroute packets too but the latest firmware passes them.

    5270 terminal emulation

    There is an X Windows 3270 client that I know works under OSX. It would require you to load X Windows (not a big deal). Dunno about the 5270 portion though http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/7814/ apparently, there is also a version of it that runs under curses so perhaps...

    Editing files remotely

    You'd be best off using emacs and the 'ange-ftp' module. It transparently moves remote files back and forth.

    how to set environment "path /usr/X11R6/include/X11"???

    you don't want to add it to the $PATH variable. Look at the doc for the compiler and you'lll see that you need -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 The '-I' tells it where to look for the includes and the -L says where to look for the libraries.

    terminal help!

    where is the 'cd' command? if your really typing what you say your typing, your not entering any command, just the directory name. The shell is trying to interpret the directory name as a command and when you press return, it fails. The correct way is: cd /users/me/blah

    actually, you can d/l the correctly mod'd source from Apple's Darwin site.

    Emacs in separate window

    because the emacs that is provided in OSX wasn't compiled w/ Xwindows (why would it have been?). So, you probably want to get the source tarball off of darwin.apple.com (or wherever) and recompile it on a box that has Xwindows and make sure you compile w/ Xwindow support.

    WYSE 50 terminal connection

    the standard termcap file /usr/share/misc/termcap has a number of wyse entries, including 'w50' for a Wyse50. So, that *should* work via a 'setenv TERM w50'

    Routing in a DHCP Network...how???

    it is NOT unusual for home routers to NOT pass traceroute packets. Most of them just dont. The Asante 3004 just got that feature from a firmware upgd and I think the SMC is the same box, different package.

    Routing in a DHCP Network...how???

    you need to see if the Barracade can 'reserve' addresses. What happens is that you tell the unit the hardware MAC address of the box and tell it to reserve a certain IP address for that MAC address. That way, even though your getting your address via DHCP, you get the SAME one, every...

    TFTP Stuff

    as I recall, you need to give the full path or so to the command. so, you'd want a command like <command> <numericIP> /private/tftpboot/bootfile or whatever it takes to boot. This is going from memory, YMMV I think you also have to remove the -s from the tftp line in /etc/inetd.conf

    xxgdb or graphical c debugger ??

    you'll need Motif (well, LessTiff actually) in order to compile ddd. I built it yesterday and it compiled fine. Only a test program at the very end failed due to a flaw in the makefile.
