| Saturday,
June 9, 2001 I will try to catch up on
mail today.
Jerry,
Has your "paste special" command disappeared entirely from FP 2002? It
exists in my copy, and it appears to be possible to "Paste as HTML,"
which gives the results I think you are seeking.
Jeff
This is how straight paste does it. Note
there are line endings everywhere.
Jerry, Has your "paste special" command disappeared entirely from FP
2002? It exists in my copy, and it appears to be possible to "Paste as
HTML," which gives the results I think you are seeking. Jeff
That is your letter with paste special treat as
html. Note that there are no line endings at all, so it comes out as one
single long line.
Jerry,
Has your "paste special" command disappeared entirely from FP 2002? It
exists in my copy, and it appears to be possible to "Paste as HTML," which
gives the results I think you are seeking.
Jeff
Above is how I WANT it to be, and the way
the FrontPage 2002 did "paste special", "normal paragraphs". I got the above
by hand-removing the line ends from each line but leaving them at the
salutation and the signature. Next is how paste special normal paragraphs
does it now:
Jerry,
Has your "paste special" command disappeared entirely from FP 2002? It
exists in my copy, and it appears to be possible to "Paste as HTML,"
which gives the results I think you are seeking.
Jeff
This is of course useless. It is no longer on
the right click menu: it's at edit, click, pastes special, click, normal
paragraphs, click, which takes longer than the old right click and still
comes out useless. Note that I chose the "normal paragraphs. Next I will
chose the normal paragraphs with line ends:
Jerry,
Has your "paste special" command disappeared entirely from FP 2002? It
exists in my copy, and it appears to be possible to "Paste as HTML,"
which gives the results I think you are seeking.
Jeff
Which produces an even less useful result: now it
puts in double spaces at each line end. Note what has happened: they
have gone to the trouble to remove ONE line end where there are two in the
"normal paragraphs" but whereas in FrontPage 2000 they also removed the line
ends from the end of each line, in this egregious FrontPage 2002 they no
longer do that.
Next another "paste special"
Jerry,
Has your "paste special" command disappeared entirely from FP 2002? It
exists in my copy, and it appears to be possible to "Paste as HTML,"
which gives the results I think you are seeking.
Jeff
This is "one formatted paragraph" .
Note that the line endings are there, but now they are "shift-return" lines.
Now I insert a line because the next result is interesting:
Jerry,
Has your "paste special" command disappeared entirely from FP 2002? It
exists in my copy, and it appears to be possible to "Paste as HTML,"
which gives the results I think you are seeking.
Jeff
And that is the "keep text only" option: note that it uses the background
font and color, and has line ends. It's also useless for what I want. What I
want is an option out of this endless maze of stupid options that: removes
the line ends; but leaves a line end when it encountered double line ends.
Now I expect I can make a macro to do that, and perhaps apply it only to
selected text, but that's work, and second, there is absolutely
nothing in the documentation that I can find about macros: how to make them
and how to use them. NOTHING in the index that I can find. I have Clippy in
FrontPage 2002 although I did not ask for him (he wasn't in FrontPage 2000)
-- hmm. Last time I asked Clippy to look for the word macro. He found
nothing. To be fair I have just asked "How do I make a macro?" and by
gollies he found it, and the instructions are pretty good. OK, let's
do that:
Never mind. It drops me into Visual Basic and
doesn't seem to have a way to RECORD a macro. I can write one in VB if I can
remember the syntax and all; since the one I want exists in some of my
installations of WORD 2000 (I wrote it) I suppose I could go find it, and
jigger that code into this; but in fact why would I want to do that when I
already have what I want in FrontPage 2000, and I have yet to see anything
in FrontPage 2002 that I think I need.
There is nothing for it: I have to uninstall
FrontPage 2002 and reinstall FP 2000. If any of you find a good reason to
try FP 2002 again (or Office XP since it will be built into that) please let
me know. What I find is that they have been too clever by half yet one more
time.
I usually upgrade Office and I usually find I am
glad to have done so despite some initial grumbling; but this time I think
they have managed to be too clever by half, breaking useful features while
not adding much new utility. I can be persuaded otherwise, but it's going to
take persuasion.
1735: I have uninstalled FrontPage 2002 and
reinstalled FP 2000. The only problem I had was that after it was over I
had to reinstall the Office Assistant in order to have him in Outlook
2000. Not that I need Clippy a lot, but it was interesting: when you
remove FP 2002 which has Clippy and reinstall FP 2000 that doesn't, Clippy
is clobbered for the rest of Office -- even though one of the
"features" of Office XP AKA Office 2002 is that Clippy is off by
default, only in FP 2002 he is ON by default, and beedee beedee beedee....
It was with interest that I read http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlibrary/100best/novels.html
and noticed 7 of the top 100 reader's choices were Robert Heinlein's
books. An extraordinary number for someone who is ignored on "the
board's list". Having read most of the novels on both lists, it is
gratifying to see that people read what they want, not always what experts
say is the best. I am eagerly awaiting your next novel, myself.
Dwight Dodds
It is interesting. Thanks for the information.
Science fiction is important and Heinlein is important to science fiction
even though the academics ignore both...
Now for something different:
Subject: Linux and Big Lies
I'll admit, I'm a bit confused, but asking a
Microsoft employee, especially a top level executive such as Steve
Ballmer, anything about Linux, will and should cause them to spew
corporate nonsense. Anybody know how much Ballmer is paid by MS? I don't,
but I can guess, and will probably be too low at that. He better toe the
corporate line or be disciplined severally for it. Expecting anything
other is naive.
Now I have read all of Mr. Raymond's rebuttal, and
it begs the question... If Windows is still the holder of 91% of the
market, and Mac's are holding their own at 8%, why hasn't Linux taken a
bigger bite? If my math is still good, 91% + 8% leaves a whopping 1% of
the market. Which, if I remember right, is about what it was in 1998! Or
has the Apple fallen to say 6%, which would give the Linux community 3% of
the share? Now 3% is 300 percent more than 1%, but gee, it is still a tiny
number!
Big lies, but from whom?
One day, and I'm not ready yet, or Linux isn't ready
for me, I'll try one of the many Linuxes (or all!) just to see what it is
like. Just like I've tried DOS, Amiga, Apple, Mac, OS2, Win 3.11, 95, 98,
ME &; 2000 (and XP when a few more users have tested it!), and BeOS. I
currently can boot into 98SE, ME, 2000 and BeOS, though I'll be scrubbing
off BeOS soon as there is just no way to connect to the internet using
cable, and there isn't any decent software for it, sad really, it had such
hope.
Funny, but all the people I know that use Linux,
they invariably play with it, or have it set up as a firewall , which
strikes me as more of an appliance, than an OS. They all use Windows or
Mac's to work on, and most use MS Office to make documents, presentations
or spreadsheets, even the diehard Macheads.
Best wishes!
Bill Grigg
It is a matter of record that Steve Ballmer was
Bill Gates's roomate or hallmate at Harvard, has always worked for Gates,
and is worth over $1 billion as a result. Regarding Linux: it is getting
more stable. It is not ready for Aunt Minnie or even Good Old Uncle Bill.
You have to want to use it and you have to want to understand it and you
have to be prepared either to run Windows as well as Linux or be satisfied
with office applications that are most charitably described as
"getting there but no first rate yet."
Linux is UNIX and UNIX is user hostile and was
always intended to be; it is the guru full employment act, and it was
designed to make sure that casual users would be utterly confused and have
to call for help. Thus it was and for the most part thus it is: if you
don't want to grep you had better have access to someone who does.
Given that, it can be rewarding. It is fast, and it is stable, and while
it is unforgiving of operator mistakes -- you can still reformat the whole
hard drive with one command and no warning -- it is much more forgiving of
application errors: ie it generally doesn't crash and generally doesn't
bring down everything else if it does crash.
Linux is getting there and I encourage those who
like speed and efficiency and don't mind mucking about under the hood to
learn about it, but if all you want is to do email and write books and
screen plays and do spreadsheets and speeches and briefings, you will do
better to stay with Mac or Windows; while if what you want to do is
develop applications particularly in a vertical market, BEOS may be
a better development environment.
So it goes.
NOW A PLEA FOR HELP:
Dear Dr. Pournelle:
I am faced with the task of networking four
computers. Normally, this would not be a problem but the rub here is that
the computers run either DOS 4 or 5 (one runs DOS 6). They each run with 4
megs of RAM. I don't have a clue as to where I can find DOS networking
software. Everyone is VERY HAPPY with their machines but would like to
share printers, files, etc. Since one of the happy campers is my wife, I
have little choice but to at least try. So, if at all possible, I would be
very grateful if you would post this to see if any suggestions are out
there.
Thank You,
Rick Cartwright
LanTastic is what you need, but I do not know
where you can get it: Artisoft is still in business but the original
partners are long gone and it isn't in the Ethernet business any
longer. Otherwise I don't know. I recall vaguely that there was some
LAN support in the last versions of DOS in the days of Windows 3.11 (which
was itself a DOS application with peer to peer LAN capability) but I don't
know where to get those, or even where to get Windows 3.11, or what I
would do with them if I had them.
My advice is to byte the bullette and do some
serious upgrading. Memory is CHEAP now as is disk space. Other readers may
have a better solution.
AND ONE DOES, see below.
Dr. Pournelle,
So your aboriginal people in general, and your
native Americans in particular, are supposed to have lived this morally
superior and ecologically balanced lifestyle before the Europeans came
along and ruined everything? Man, those noble savages hunted down and ate
everything that moved, and to such an extent that they forced extinction
on all the large mammals, birds and reptiles around. If you were born
after 1970, everything you learned in public school is politically correct
balderdash. Here's the link:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1375000/1375770.stm
Don McArthur www.mcarthurweb.com
******************** "A skittish motor-bike with a touch of blood in
it is better than all the riding animals on earth." T.E. Lawrence (aka
Lawrence of Arabia, died in a motorcycle accident in 1935)
********************
Actually Aircraftsman Shaw died in a motorcycle
accident, T. E. Lawrence having resigned his commission and enlisted under
a false name. And they aren't "my" aboriginals: they were good
enough to drive my Viking ancestors out of their first new world colony.
On the other hand the American Indians ate all the horses and some of
their defenders now claim that if they had only had horses for centuries
before the Spanish came then they wouldn't have been conquered.
Which goes to show that if you eat things instead of taming and
domesticating them you won't have them when you need them and you'll have
to wait for someone a little less prodigal to come along...
The 'noble savage' idea is dealt with quite well
in Barzun's wonderful FROM DAWN TO DECADENCE. James Warner Bellah in
THUNDER OF DRUMS has Captain Brittles say "The highest deeds and
noblest feats in the history of the Apache nation are described in the
English words arson, murder, mayhem, pillage, plunder, theft, and
rapine." Certainly they ate everything that moved and they weren't
all that kind to the environment, but the schools will tell you different
now.
Jerry: Been a big fan since the old Byte days (truth
be told: only subscribed to Byte for the Chaos Manor columns. The bulk was
- at the time - over my head). In any case, just saw this piece by another
of my favorite authors, Spider Robinson. It speaks concisely and precisely
to the current eco-terrorist fad. Good stuff. Have a great weekend!

Thanks! Haven't seen Spider in a while. Guess I
ought to go to a WorldCon or two just to get together with old friends
while I can.

Abstract: Intensity of the cosmic background
radiation due to the Cherenkov effect from faster-than-light virtual
photons created in a ZPF background is estimated herein. The calculated
result shows that spectrum and the mass density of energy due to the
Cherenkov radiation almost coincides the cosmic background radiation
observed.
2. http://www.journaloftheoretics.com/Articles/3-3/bibhas.pdf
Abstract: Maxwell’s equations are shown to have a
second consequence beyond the electromagnetic (EM) wave: the source -free
static magnetic field structure of finite extent in empty space. This has
possible relevance to many current research areas such as field theory and
plasma theory. When the result of the present paper is combined with a
previous result (that a static magnetic field constitutes a mass), this
relevance extends to a number of other fields: particle theory; string
theory; dark matter; unified field theory; the ultimate nature of mass and
matter; gravitation; cosmology etc. Additionally, the source-free
structure may have implications for future technology.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to look at
either one.
And here we have:
Jerry,
For Rick Cartwright, DR-DOS is
still around. It comes with drivers for most major network cards. A 5-pack
is $150 from Lineo (formerly the embedded systems division of
Caldera--after Microsoft settled and Caldera split in two, Lineo ended up
with DR-DOS). http://www.drdos.com/purchase/index.html
As far as I can tell, it comes with "Personal
NetWare" which is a peer-to-peer networking based on Novell's IPX,
and should do everything Rick needs. TCP/IP is an extra cost item. Before
buying, though, Rick should do his own poking around the support forums
for DR-DOS to make sure it will do what he needs. http://www.drdos.com/support/index.html
It appears to have trouble with anything newer than
an original Pentium. Anything prior to that, however, should do just fine.
Steve Setzer
Wow. That was quick. Thanks!

Artisoft. When I was networking DOS computers, it was a wonderful product.

There was an unusually good article by John
Derbyshire in National Review. He's always worth reading, but this one was
even better than usual, and I asked him if there were a URL for the
article.
Thank you very much, Jerry. Yes; I post everything
on my personal web site, unless I forget to. This one is at: http://www.olimu.com/Journalism/Texts/Commentary/Normal.htm
Note that this is the pre-edited version (i.e.
before the NR editors got their hands on it) and contains a few extra
sci-fi references down towards the end, that will mean more to you (I am
guessing) than they did to NR.
Very best wishes,
John Derbyshire
His article, or essay, concerns the concept of
normality, which lies at the heart of most civilizations; and what has
happened to that quaint notion in the modern era. Very much worth your
time.
He also notes:
Being a socially clueless nerd is apparently a recognized psychiatric
condition...

which needs no other comment. While Dr. Ed Hume
observes:
Jerry
More on the Empire vs. Republic metaphor: When I was
young people still talked of the US being a melting pot, where people from
all the earth came to become Americans. Now they talk about "tossed
salad", where people leave their countries to come to America and
remain nationals of their home countries, complete with their old
languages. No assimilation (remember that word) expected.
Republics tend to be each a single nation. Empires,
on the other hand, are an amalgamation of a number of nations.
Ed
It was once remarked that America was perhaps
unique in that you could study to be an American, and if you learned how
and did it right, you were one. That I think is no longer the case and we
have lost much. Amalgamated societies always need strong government and
usually an Emperor. He may not have that title of course.
And leads to increasingly imperial actions:
Dr. Pournelle,
Here is something to ruin your day. I am at a loss
to describe my feelings regarding this issue. It wouldn't be believable if
you where to put it in one of your stories, yet it is being played out in
the real world. I'm not sure where one can even begins to bring reason
back into a system that not just allows but condones this action. The
principal's comment "We just need to get it through kids' heads that
there are certain things you don't say and there are certain things you
don't draw" relating to this leaves me aghast. These are the people
that are helping to mold the future.

Dean Sanchez
And on the general subject,
"Certainly unrestricted bottom line
capitalism is far more efficient than the old semi-feudal arrangements
that corporations inherited from the days when a firm had an owner, who
might be a Scrooge but might not be. If efficient employment of capital is
the goal, we are moving toward achieving it."
I understand that you are probably simply pressing a
point home, but I am not at all certain that this is a true statement:
that our current way of doing business has resulted in better
"efficiency" than the old ways. If your goal is only making sure
that the next quarter impresses the stockholders, maybe you're right. On
the other hand, if your goal is making sure your company is still in
business and producing product competitively twenty years down the road,
it may be another story. The term "efficiency" needs some
elaboration. Living here in Silicon Valley, I don't see a lot of company
loyalty either way, but on the other hand, I don't see a lot of companies
that are still around after five years either.
Putting it another way, I never saw a company that
suffered competitively by treating its employees like they were an
important part of the enterprise. I also don't see that this attitude
necessarily conflicts with the ideal of capitalism.
Tom Brosz
When I was at Boeing there
was considerable employee loyalty in both directions; but that was the old
days, and I have seen little of that since. Even Universities don't seem
to operate that way any longer. We may have gained some economic
efficiency and we may not. I am sure we have lost something valuable that
will probably never be regained.
And finally a very long announcement from the
Libertarians. I won an award, which is my justification for posting this:
For immediate release: June, 2001
Libertarian Futurist Society announces Prometheus Hall of Fame winner
First Special Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Poul Anderson
Best Novel award to be presented at Philly Worldcon during Libertarian SF
panel
LFScon hailed as major success
The Libertarian Futurist Society is pleased to announce that Poul
Anderson has received the first Special Prometheus Award for Lifetime
Achievement, and that “The Survival of Freedom,’’ an sf anthology
edited by
Jerry Pournelle and John Carr, has won the 2001 Prometheus Hall of Fame
award
for Best Classic Fiction.
Both Prometheus awards were presented before an audience of more than
1,000 people during LFScon, the Libertarian Futurist Society’s first
national
conference and 20th anniversary celebration, held May 25-27 during Marcon
36
in Columbus, Ohio. LFScon was a great success, with our Prometheus
awardwinning guests of honor helping Marcon to attract a record attendance
of
more than 3,000 people.
Karen Anderson, Poul’s wife and a guest of honor, accepted for
Anderson,
whose illness had prevented him from attending LFScon as Marcon's Grand
Master guest of honor. Anderson, widely respected as a Grand Master of s.f.,
already had been recognized by the LFS three times over the past two
decades,
having won the Prometheus Hall of Fame twice for “The Star Fox’’ and
“Trader to the Stars” and the Best Novel award for “The Stars Are
Also
Fire’’ (1995).
F. Paul Wilson, who contributed a short story “Lipidlegging’’ to
“The
Survival of Freedom,’’ accepted for Pournelle. Wilson praised
Pournelle for
his uphill battle to bring out such a specialized-theme anthology at a
time
when publishers weren’t that interested in such anthologies.
In an emailed acceptance speech, Pournelle said: “I am very pleased
to
accept this award and I regret that I cannot be there to do it in person.
Between writing commitments and keeping Niven functioning after his
injuries
I seem to have a career in Southern California.
Of course the real credit goes to the Contributors. It is perhaps time to
bring this book out again with new prefaces, and some additional material.
I
am sure I can find a publisher. And I note that (Wilson’s) “Lipidlegging”
is
no longer science fiction at all. Alas, some of the other stories aren't
fiction either. But then we always knew that eternal vigilance is the
price
of liberty - and that even if it is paid the tax consumers don't always
deliver what they promised. Thank you all.”
Other former Prometheus Awardwinners who were honored and introduced
onstage during the LFScon/Marcon awards ceremony at Marcon’s Masquerade:
F.
Paul Wilson, L. Neil Smith, James Hogan, J. Neil Schulman, Victor Milan,
Vernor Vinge and Brad Linaweaver. The awards were presented by LFS
Assistant
Director Amy Rule and Lynn Maners, chair of the Hall of Fame finalist
judging
committee. Smith announced the award to Anderson.
All LFS members voted for the awards. Anderson’s Lifetime Achievement
Award was approved unanimously-- a first in the history of the Prometheus
Awards.
LFS members chose “The Survival of Freedom’’ as this year’s
Hall of
Fame winner after a Hall of Fame finalist judging committee whittled down
two
dozen nominations to five finalists. The other finalists were Poul
Anderson’s
“Orion Shall Rise;” Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can't Happen Here;” L.
Neil
Smith’s “The Wardove;” and Melinda Snodgrass’ The Measure of a Man
(Star
Trek: Next Generation episode). Snodgrass’ script was the first TV
episode to
become a finalist in the Hall of Fame, which recently was opened up in
eligibility to include dramatic presentations (film or TV), plays, poems,
anthologies, novels, novellas and short stories.
Meanwhile, LFS members are reading the finalists and voting on the Best
Novel award, which will be presented in an awards ceremony over the Labor
Day
weekend at the Philadelphia Worldcon. The award ceremony is tentatively
scheduled at 5 p.m. Sunday Sept. 2, just before a Worldcon panel
discussion
on “Beyond Ayn Rand and Robert Heinlein: Libertarian SF.’’
The LFS’ Best Novel Finalist judging committee has chosen five novels
published in 2000 for the 2001 award:
* Lodestar, by Michael Flynn (TOR Books)
* The Sky Road, by Ken MacLeod (TOR Books)
* The Truth, by Terry Pratchett (HarperCollins)
* Forge of the Elders, by L. Neil Smith (Baen Books)
* Eagle Against the Stars, by Steve White (Baen Books)
This year’s Best Novel winner will receive a plaque and a one-ounce
gold
coin, double the size of previous years.
This is the first time that Pratchett and White have been honored as
Prometheus Award finalists. Three of the five finalist authors are
previous
Prometheus Award winners: MacLeod won most recently in 1998 for “The
Stone
Canal’’ and in 1996 for “The Star Fraction.’’ Smith won in 1994
for
“Pallas’’ and in 1982 for “The Probability Broach.’’ Flynn won
in 1991 for
“In the Country of the Blind’’ and in 1992 for “Fallen Angels’’
(co-authored by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle);
Twelve novels were nominated by LFS members for this year’s
awards. The
other nominees were Candle, by John Barnes (TOR Books); The Legend That
Was
Earth, by James Hogan (Baen Books); Outlaw School, by Rebecca Ore
(HarperCollins/EOS); Chimera, by Will Shetterly (TOR Books); Vampire
Nation,
by Thomas Sipos (www.communistvampires.com); Conspiracies, by F. Paul
Wilson
(Forge Books); and All the Rage, by F. Paul Wilson (FORGE Books)
The Prometheus awards for Best Novel, Best Classic Fiction (Hall of
Fame)
and (occasional) Special awards honor outstanding science fiction/fantasy
that explores the possibilities of a free future, champions human rights
(including personal and economic liberty), dramatizes the perennial
conflict
between individuals and coercive governments, or critiques the tragic
consequences of abuse of power-- especially by the State.
The Prometheus Award, sponsored by the Libertarian Futurist Society (LFS),
was established in 1979, making it one of the most enduring awards after
the
Nebula and Hugo awards, and one of the oldest fan-based awards currently
in
sf. Presented annually since 1982 at the World Science Fiction Convention,
the Prometheus Awards include a gold coin and plaque for the winners.
The Hall of Fame, established in 1983, focuses on older classic
fiction,
including novels, novellas, short stories, poems and plays.Past Hall of
Fame
awardwinners range from Robert Heinlein and Ayn Rand to Ray Bradbury and
Ursula LeGuin.
Last year’s Prometheus Award winner for Best Book was Vernor Vinge’s
“A
Deepness in the Sky’’ (TOR Books). Last year’s Prometheus Award Hall
of
Fame winner for Classic Fiction was Hans Christian Andersen’s “The
Emperor’s
New Clothes.’’
