    GKS for Linux?

    We eventually bought commercial software as the porting would have taken me several months full time work. I am still interested in the subject though (and still plan to do this in my spare time one day). I also wondered if it would be possible to write a sort of interface, translating the GKS...

    Ink Composition in Ink Jet Printers

    Myles, Are you sure this is an inkjet ink? It looks more like a dry toner for copiers. If you want specific info on inkjet inks, try searching www.delphion.com for some patents. I believe you have to pay now to see the complete patent text but at least you can get started with the first page...

    Linux Installation

    If you will only use NT and linux, you should use the NT loader. You'll find all the info you need in the How-to's or in your documentation. I guess this is the easiest way to have NT and linux on one machine. Don't use LILO or another bootmanager. have fun, olivier

    trouble installing Suse7.0

    Dear Luca, Try xf86config. It might not have a graphical interface but it works fine for me. But be careful and read all messages on screen. Don't try to push your hardware over the limit as it will try to do so and you might ruin it. Also, when setting available screen sizes (640X480...

    Free Fortran Compiler

    I always use the GNU fortran compiler G77 (standard available in any linux distribution) . For as far as I know, this is one of the most stable compilers. If you don't have linux machines, you can always download cygwin (www.cygwin.com). This is some sort of UNIX-like API that you can run from...
