I have written a small app which converts day number (1-366) to actual date and vice-versa. It works OK, so I started to think what would happen if the user types an invalid date (29/02/2010 or 33/09/2010 etc) and how do I detect this. If I do a DateDiff on the input date, I can throw and trap...

Hi. I'm trying to get a new MP3 player to work. All the others I have ever tried, are connected and seen straight away as a USB drive. The new one comes up as a MTP device, but never installs properly as it says the drives are not loaded. The disk supplied has drivers for Windows 98SE, but not...

How do I configure a Sparc5 (Solaris 8) to use external speakers rather than the internal speaker? The system is up OK, the speakers are attached to the sound card, but the sound come out of the internal speaker. I also have a Sun external speaker, which clicks when connected to the machine...
