I have tried downloading the tools once, but my connection was lost at about 29 MB. Is there any way of downloading sections at a time, so you dont have to start again each time t…

As I remember there were to halves of the download or the "cd-rom" download. The 2 combined equal the CD-rom as I remember ------------------ Henry Feldman NYU School of Medicine

Couldn't really decide if I should post this in here or in support so if it's out of place please forgive me. I was playing around with the Dev tools last night and decided to rea…

to be honest i've no idea. Your best bet is to reinstall the developer tools, perhaps erasing /Developer before you do so.

Tried reinstalling the dev tools after wiping out not only the Documentation directory but the entire Developer directory as well. No such luck. I then tried reinstalling OS X wi…

I have installed the MacOS X Beta Tools but I don't understand which tools it provides, and where they are located on my HD. Can anyone explain me ?

there are installed at /Developer

Yes, I have found it now, it did not appeared on /Developer. I made a search with sherlock and here we are

Forgive me if this is slightly off-topic, but please read on. The number of scientific apps written for the mac has decreased and I find the fact that Matlab isn't going to be forw…

Hi again persquare, I'm planning (once my OS X disk gets here) to immediately try to get xmgr or xmgrace up and running since I use that almost exclusively for my science and journ…

Seems we're the only scientist around, stardoc ;-) Anyhow, I'm working on porting Octave and once that its working (almost there...) I'll probably look into gnuplot (rumored to ru…

Not too many science people here, huh? (HEY MODERATORS! Could you post a note to the main web page calling attention to this thread?) Yes, teTeX is important! (tho a CLI is fine…

I am not a scientist per se, but I _am_ interested in computational science, and mathematical visualization. So anyway, I have started to look at OpenDX (it used to be an IBM produ…

A nice GUI app for DocBook editing would be nice. It seems nicer than LaTeX for computer docs. Andrew

Thanks Marshal for the python info. Re RPM, yes, I was refering to the Redhat Package Manager--which BTW runs on many Unix platforms. My thought was that perhaps a source-code on…

Hi Marshall & stardoc, Linux Journal (Aug. 2000) had an article about a Java Class to manage RPM content. The source is available at: http://jymengant.ifrance.com/jymenga...wsp…

Here is another scientist. teTeX works just fine on OS X. I've been using is already for a while. I also desperately need FORTRAN. I tried to build g77 and f2c, with no luck. …

Ouch. I finally installed OS X and feel like I've been bombed into the stone age. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but the experience is nothing like either unix or mac. Well an…
