I have two questions I hope someone can answer: 1) Does anyone know of a macro for Sprint that can do auto indents for C as you type lines of code like emacs does? Any ideas on how to write one? 2) I get news off of the Unix machine at work, using a PC for a terminal. I would like to use the binaries posted, but I don't think I have all of the software necessary. I can get it uudecoded on the Unix, and transfer the resulting archive to my PC, but I don't know which archive to use, or whether it should be used on Unix or the PC. We don't have anything on the Unix that will successfully de-arc it, and the only archive program I have on the PC is the one Borland sends out with its programs to de-arc example files. I know this has probably been addressed umpteen times already (everyone else seems to know how to do it) but I haven't seen anything in six months, and I've let a lot of good programs go by for lack of knowing how to make use of them. Please email and I'll summarize, or post if you wish. I DO read the groups I post to asking things. Thanks, -Mary Leibach (mary@dinorah) Thanks to the person who posted about the "Programmer's Guide to the PC & PS/2 Video Systems". It is a really great book, and while I haven't finished it, I have found out alot about what my VGA card can do. The documentation they send out with those things is the pits.
