I have written a nice little program that is similar to the probably well-known xload. I call this one NLoad (NeXT Load). It can be obtained by anonymous ftp from cs.orst.edu (128.193.32.1) in pub/next/sources. While you are there, check out pub/next/sounds for some alternate system beeps. (In case you don't know how, you change the system beep by the following command: ln -s /NextLibrary/Sounds/newbeep.snd /NextLibrary/Sounds/SystemBeep.snd) Bryce Jasmer jasmerb@hobbes.cs.orst.edu Please let me know how you like NLoad and tell me of any improvements that I could make. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is a truly idotic question or not, but I've been told that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. So I'll give it a shot... I've seen lists of all the software that comes with the NeXT, but I would like to know what of the standard UNIX-like tools come with the std. dist. and the dev set. Mostly I'm concerned about straight text editors (simple one like vi), and some UNIX util stuff like yacc and lex. Also, I've heard that either C++ or the Objective C compiler (one of the two) will compile regular (not object oriented) code. If there is anyone with more knowledge than me about this stuff (I'm sure there is), I'd appreciate the help. Thanks alot. -Michael George george@cs.purdue.edu

NeXT comes with all standard UNIX BSD 4.3 stuff except: /games, pc, ratfor, and a couple of other things. But there is everything else there: vi, lex, yacc, awk, as, cc etc. For all intents and purposes NeXT is a standard UNIX BSD 4.3 from the point of a user. cc compiles c, Objective-C and c++ in the new release.
