Hi all, I can send mail from within a Perl cgi script no problem but when it comes to reading/accessing my mail I have problems. I want to run a cgi script on my web server (unix) that can access my mail account and check for a particluar message. I've tried using Mail::POP3Client module but...

Hi all, I'm trying to put a simple program together without using MFC whatsoever. In other words, by using the box-standard WIndowsAPI calls. However, I've run into a stumbling block when it comes to double-buffering to avoid flicker on the window during drawing. Funny thing is I haven't had any...

I've read a few threads in this forum regarding this issue but none really go into detail and I'm kinda stuck. Here's the problem: I have a WindowsXP (Home Ed.) machine which has a CD writer. I have a PowerBook 1400c running 8.6 (no CD writer). I want to transfer a boat load of zipped files...

As per my last thread, I'm testing an internal hard disk from one [dead] mac in another [live] mac. Both are SCSI systems but I do not have any information regarding the necessary jumper settings for the correct SCSI ID's. On the bottom of the drive it looks like this: * * * * *...

Hi all, I just got [yet another] older PowerMac off ebay.com which, when I tried to boot it up, gives these symptoms: 1. The power light and fan come on OK 2. There is no typcial boot-up sound 3. There is no video signal and therefore no flashing question mark icon signalling a missing system...

Hi all, I bought some Mac development software (2nd hand off ebay.com) but one of the CDs is not mounting on the Mac desktop. I've put this down to the disk having a scratch or defect or something and have tried all kinds of methods of trying to get it to mount (FWB, SCSI probe, etc). However...

Hi All, I'm thinking of actually buying Visual C++ .NET and I was looking on amazon.com for some feedback. Most of which appears negative!! I wondered what experience anyone on tek-tips had with it in comparison to VC++ 6.0??? Would it be worth upgrading now or - as one amazon.com reviewer...

Hi again all, I have three or four very small programs running on my linux web server - I executed them like this: ./app_name.out& My query is, occassionally, the programs stop running for no apparent reason. They all stop at the same time so it can't be anything to do with the code (ie...

Hi all, I got two simple questions: 1 can anybody tell me the best way on UNIX to remove files and/or directories BUT to test whther they exist beforehand. Currently I'm using system("rm filename") and system("rmdir directory") - however, I think there must be a way like...

Does anyone know of a simple, small zip decompression library/source that is easy to use and can handle WinZip compressed files? I'm not looking for zLib or ZipArchive - I simply need something that will do something like this: Extract("zipfile.zip","/output_directory")...

Hi all, I wondered what the best way to count current instances of a perl cgi script is. What i mean is, say two different people have invoked the script via their browsers, what's the best/easiest way to know that there are two instances of the script in existence? Thanks programmer...

Hi again all, perhaps we should rename this forum "qednick's unix problems"... anyways, i have another question: say i have a program sitting on my unix web server and I want to execute it from another computer remotely. For example, say i have a file on the server called...

Ok this is going to sound stupid... I created a simple socket server based on a PDF guide I found on the net called "Beej’s Guide to Network Programming". I uploaded it to my unix based web server, compiled it into 'socket.out' and set if off using: ./socket.out& command as per some...

Hi again all, back to my conversion to c/c++ cgi scripts on UNIX system... I want to know if the functions flockfile() and funlockfile() are sufficient to prevent corruption when writing to a file on the UNIX web server. For example, if I was to write to a file using PERL, I would use the...

I screwed up with my previous post by assuming library files on unix ended with a .lib extension... What I need to know is how to build both static and shared libraries on UNIX using GNU C/C++ compiler. I have written a couple of classes which I would like to incorporate into future projects...

Hi, I've only just started writing C/C++ programs for the UNIX platform. However, I've noticed that many of the basic ANSI C functions are not recognized by the server's compiler. These functions include: ltoa(), fcvt(), strrev(), strupr(), strlwr(), floor(), ceil() and more... Can anybody tell...

Hi again all, Well I successfully managed to compile and run my very first 'hello world' c program on my UNIX web server by giving it a .cgi extension and pointing my browser at it. I was so happy I decided to use C for my small cgi programs I write from now on (I know C a little better than...

Hi all, I've been working in C/C++ on Windows and Mac for some time now - I'm no stranger to the language. However, I'm currently working on Windows project which is meant to be peer-to-peer networking over the internet using stream sockets. I've discovered that this is not very feasable...
