I don't have a good space for hosting, but can we use one of the many fine parks in Worcester? Thats the way we rolled in Joisey. As for my USB Keyboard, the BIOS had a switch to turn on USB Keyboards and the Mouse (though I never needed the mouse for grub). Thanks for the help! Ted

RFC: WLUG BBQ July/August timeframe
by Chuck Anderson 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

I neglected to bring up this topic at our last meeting. We usually have a WLUG summer BBQ around July or August, so I'd like to get the planning discussion going now. Are people interested in having a BBQ this year, and if so, would someone be willing to host it? WLUG should enough in the bank to fund the food (Andy can you confirm?), so all we need is a place with a BBQ grill and a time. Comments? Ideas? -Chuck

Hi: I have a project in which I need to migrate some data stored in VSAM files to a relational database (mssql). I am wondering if anyone has had experience with extracting data from a VSAM file to a flat file. If so what tools would you recommend to make this happen. tia, Mike

232-TTL, locally?
by soup 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Anyone know of a hobby/electronics shop where I could get a 232-TTL dongle, board or kit? Even just a bare MAX232 IC would be cool. I don't want to have to drive up to you-do-it, that's the only place I can think of that's left... Take care, soup

Awk Null Field
by Gary Hanley 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Wow, what's wrong with me? I'm trying to parse a file to eliminate any line from the file to the output where a particular field is is null. The 8th field in this case. I can't get it right! I haven't done an awk script in a long time but this should be simple stuff. Basically I'm trying to do: cat file | awk -F\| '$8 !~ <NULL expression> {print}' Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Gary

Thanks to all replies! I ended up heading to you-do-it. They only had some MAX clone ICs, but good enough, worked out in the end.

When I was teenager a Model T Ford was an old car. My friend bought one for $25. He painted it yellow and orange, cranked it up and rode it around town with his girl friend in the passenger's seat and a case of beer in the rumble seat. Some years later we realized how much fun that was. Same's true for computers. Disclaimer ==> I have not tampered with SUN's choice of color scheme.

Two more questions....

My goal is to get Fedora 12-Beta up and running on my ULTRA1 Sparc. When I tried installing it the system did not like my DISC 1. 1. I would like to check the checksums on the six CD's that I made from your fedora 12-Beta source. I read that the only way is to shutdown, do "STOP a" and type "Linux mediacheck". My system does not recognize the "Linux mediacheck" command. Is there no way to do this operation from within a running Aurora system? 2. I have checked. I really have two identical Aurora systems on my two hard drives. The older one on the 17Gig drive from the ULTRA1 that died does not boot correctly. The newer version on the 3.4 Gig disk is from last week's successful installation of that same antique five CD .iso set. That new installation had to be limited because of a problem with a language file supporting emacs. I would like to be running a modern Aurora, but still keep my archive files. Any suggestions for a plan of action would be greatly appreciated. Ken Jones Ken ======= Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.
