Great - I got my Slackware disk yesterday, and fired it up this morning. True to what I expected, Slackware is a little more geeky. I did however figure most of it out. Now my only problem is that there is only 600mb available to Slackware (800mb hdd, 200mb swap) and I need to fit it on here. What packages should I install for the claimed minimum of 500mb install space (ie no X) Paul // vibrator.h - from Smartphone SDK // // Return values: // E_FAIL == failure, probably device not present (use VibrateGetDeviceCaps) // E_NOTIMPL == the feature you are attempting to use is not yet implemented // S_OK == hurray, everything's great // HRESULT Vibrate(DWORD cvn, const VIBRATENOTE * rgvn, BOOL fRepeat, DWORD dwTimeout); "hurray! the vibrator's working! everything's great :~ " - benjymous on SDK's

Hi, Dim intResponse intResponse = MsgBox(Dir("C:\*.*"), vbOKCancel) If intResponse = 2 Then Exit Sub Do i = MsgBox(Dir, vbOKCancel) If i = 2 Then Exit Do Loop This is a bit rough and ready, but you can easily customize it to not display the files in a msgbox but to write them to a file with Open "file.fil" For Append as #1 You will also have to manually change the path, but you can easily make a front end around this. Hope it helps. Paul ;) The following statement about your geekness is true. The previous statement about your geekness is not true. - Douglas Hofstader Sonork ID: 100.33943

I would start by right-clicking on the Command Prompt icon and selecting Properties. In there you will find the option. If my memory is completely shot, you will instead need to install TweakUI 1.3 from Microsoft to set this up. If I wasn't sitting in front of an AMD K6-2 200MHz, 48MB RAM, Windows NT 4 Workstation beast I would check this for you and give you the correct answer.

Thanks for your reply, but this will not help me because I have not written my own driver. My device is using some default driver. (The device I'm using is a ide dvd-rom).

No, I don't believe that is possible. "We will thrive in the new environment, leaping across space and time, everywhere and nowhere, like air or radiation, redundant, self-replicating, and always evolving." -unspecified individual

tks for the info - and no, you guessed it, i'm not your regular Linux geek, but would really like to become one :-D I'll see about finding a LUG... Paul ;) The following statement about your geekness is true. The previous statement about your geekness is not true. - Douglas Hofstader

Super! Thanks so much, Dana! That seems to be what I needed! F

I am sure there are more practical ways to do it, but for achieving it "quickly", the fastest way I can think of without any real code to write would be to automate the process though SSH. I would really think about what you want to do to accomplish this, as there are SIGNFICANT security implications if you do this wrong. Anyways.... here would be a simple way to do it: 1) Install Cygwin[^] on the Windows 2000 box and ensure you install the OpenSSH daemon. 2) Set up your SSH daemon to run as a service in W2K. There is a good article on how to do that here[^] 3) Set up your SSH keys so you can SSH into the Windows box without the need for a password with the use of SSH public key authentication. You can learn a bit on how to do that by reading here[^]. 4) You should now be able to execute the scripts on the W2K box by automating the call. As an example this might work for ya: ssh user@w2kbox commandtoexecute CAUTION: Be careful to understand the implications of setting up SSH to your server. Make sure you have clean ACLs and limit the privileges in what the account you are SSHing in can do. If you require administrative access to run the script, consider using the runas command to do this so that you only elevate privileges for the execution of the script, and nothing more. P.S> I found the runas command to have some issues under bash in cygwin, so you might have to tinker with this for a bit. Good luck! - Dana :cool:

I am not sure exactly what youw ant to know about hooking, so I am assuming you are looking for general info. I apologize if I am wrong in that assumption. Perhaps a google[^] search would be in order? I did a search of hook +C#"[^] and it returned a lot of discussionary items about it. Right off the bat it returned an article over at www.c-sharpcorner.com[^] that might fit your needs. Good luck :cool: - Dana
