tar (short for "Tape ARchive") is an old Unix-based archiving format. Stuffit Expander can't do much with these for the moment. What you need to do is drop to a terminal, go to th…

Here's the interesting thing... I'm downloading the disk image under OS9 at work because of faster connection. The file I download has the name '5.7.19.DownloadSoftware.1 2.1' Shou…

It doesn't have to end with .tar, just put it on the MacOS X HD and do the gnutar command mentioned above and it will untar just fine. /Gabbe

I haven't tried this myself, but take a look at this helpful MacAddict article: http://www.macaddict.com/content/news/2000/09/13/18709

Petard, hoist yourself over to http://www.darwinfo.org/ , where you'll find like-minded crazies. Sign up for the Darwin developer mailing list which is hosted by Apple.

They are supported and exist. I have wrote a few projects using them... however I installed them from the developer tools cd. As I am sitting infront of a linux box right now I can…

get the source from cyclic.com and compile it w/ the server option. You may need --without-krb5 --without-gssapi for configure

I am about 90% sure that the CVS server is built in. The CVS client is definitely there (/usr/bin/cvs) and if I remember correctly the client acts as the server if you tell it to.…

Never heard of Perforce, but CVS is great. We used it at my previous job. You can even do CVS checkouts over SSH using private keys and ssh-agents to keep it simple. UNIX is so …

I can verify that it is possible to use the built-in CVS as a server on Mac OS X. It's a bit odd to set up, but it's definitely do-able.

Well, if you look at the configure options when building CVS, you can build a binary w/o the server portion. Since the Mac man pages make no reference to that, I *assumed* that th…

The server is definitely there. Wade

yeah, I'm using CVS as a server on Mac OS X out-of-the-box. Just set your CVSROOT and do a 'cvs init' and rock'n'roll...

just include: #include <Carbon/Carbon.h> you may also wish to manually dig through everything that Carbon.h includes for you (just a holder header loading other hea…

Hi, I needed Fortran but got away with using f2c (Fortran to C translater) instead. Download it from http://netlib.bell-labs.com Contact me if you have trouble compiling it. /P

Thanks persquare. I'm familiar with f2c, but have not used it extensively. Is it fairly robust or does it tend to choke sometimes? My code is perfect, of course , but some of …

Quote: Originally posted by stardoc: On this track though, are C compilers then either included in default OS X install, or do you have to install the developer tools? …

Hi, I've used f2c to compile Octave (a Matlab like environment for numerical analysis, http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave) which has large chunks of Fortran code. Never choked once...…

If you are doing Fortran development in OSX/Darwin, you really should use g77. I have used it before with PPC Linux, but I have never encountered it on BSD. It shouldn't be hard …

Thank you for the f2c info and the suggestion of g77. I hadn't even thought of g77 on OS X. I'll check into it. g77 is what I use under linux so it is particularly lame of me!
