But for the group...) Assuming there isn't a hardware issue like the null modem being plugged into the wrong DIN5 socket on the IIc, my guess is there's a bit-width issue with Java. First, some background: it sounds like you've been hacking around with (the location of) the RXTX serial library, which should not at all be necessary; it should be left where it is after unzipping the ADTPro distribution. Also, it's unusual for Windows not to recognize the FTDI-based chip in your UGREEN adapter; it should be automatically downloaded and installed. You should not need to install it manually. You should see the COM port populate in the Windows hardware manager when you plug it in (and the device driver is correctly installed). You said your Windows was version 7, 64-bit. Let's check Java. Go to a command line, and run 'java -version'. The build identifier will let us know if it's 32- or 64-bit. If it doesn't match your OS, that's the reason why ADTPro can't see the serial port (through RXTX). - David

As others said, we're not lawyers so ymmv but I would take it as the same as selling a used cd, dvd, software or books. The usual law is we can't copy it. So scanning it, if that company or company's intellectual property is still in existence they might care. But selling originals is usually ok unless specific wording against it, although that's also probably the original owner in contract not yourself.? Ironically I was *just* having a similar thought and self conversation with some training materials I just purchased from a used book store.

This is the LAST CALL for these. They'll be going to recycling if no-one claims them (aside from the Newer Computers) All stuff is in UK LN11 Postcode area. Prefer collection, but will ship small stuff at your *own risk and cost*. I will ship small items outside Europe but the large stuff is UK/EU only due to likely power supply restrictions and excess shipping costs. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all items are **untested**. I will test computers on demand if needed. Cards and CPUs I can't really be bothered to. No returns, folks, ya gets what ya gets. There's a stack of pictures here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/nt94k1zf0tn49wt/AACpoHnTm75yDhlFHQ6wd5WBa Identification of stuff is left to the reader. If you have any questions just drop me a line.

Probably have a matching White Keyboard and Mouse somewhere. Happy to ship to UK Buyer as itb s easy enough in the box =PowerMac G3/400 upgraded to G4/500/1M)= NOW FREE but will cost extra for shipping TESTED WORKING booted into Mac OS X 10.4.11 and tooled about.

> From: Fred Cisin > be aware that legal advice here is often tainted by our own interests, > hence the fiction of "abandonware". Speak for yourself; my comments below are the legal position as best I know it, and not influenced in any direction. Of course, as are most people here, I am not a lawyer (although I've spent enough money on Intellectual Property lawyers over the years to send myself to law school, had I had the time, so I now know a little bit about the subject :-), and my perception is that the lack of knowledge on all our parts implicit in that is a far larger risk than any bias. > From: Warner Losh > Resell: sure. The copyright interest of the seller is extinguished when > you purchase them I don't think that's correct: any copyright rights held by any party are generally not, AFAIK, modified by sale of the material from a second party (i.e. not a rights holder), to a third (you). But that's immaterial, as long as one is only selling a copy which one purchased. As long as that copy was itself not produced in violation of a copyright, transfer to a fourth party (whoever you sell it to) is entirely legal. (Just like selling used books - which generally are in copyright - is legal.) You are (I'm pretty certain) not in any danger on copyright grounds, as long as you don't make any copies yourself. (What the situation is, if that copy _was_ produced in violation of a copyright, I am not sure of.) Restricted rights (such as a duty not to pass the material along) are probably not an issue, as that is entirely a civil contract between the issuer and the second party (above) who purchased them. If that party elects to sell the items _without_ making a second civil contract with the third party (you), those restrictions would not apply. For the second party's violation, the only recourse of the first party would be to sue the second party. Since the third party doesn't have a contract with anyone, there are no grounds for any claim against them. If there are trade secrets involved, I'm not 100% sure of the situation, since there are some protections for trade secrets in the law; but those mostly apply to deliberate theft or espionage. My suspicion is that if a third party gains access to trade secrets through negligence on the part of the second party - i.e. the second party giving/selling material containing trade secrets to a third party - the third party is clear to do what they want with the information. But maybe not, I just don't know enough about protection of trade secrets. The final area to be considered is theft. If the party from whom the documents were obtained did not rightfully own them (e.g. if they technically still belong to the first party, and they were merely on loan to the second party), then the third party (you) can't own them either, and so you (legally) can't sell them. Having said all that, it would probably cost more to ascertain their exact status (were they sold or loaned, etc) than they are worth (unless they are worth a goodly amount). But I also suspect that the rights holder(s) probably no longer care - but that's just a guess. Noel

MOVIE.BYU - progress

by rdawson16＠hotmail.com

Thanks group for the links to the source. These have passed thru many copies, and somehow have embedded control characters and such, but I am successful so far at the cleanup: I pull the source into a fortran knowledgeable editor, I am using "blocks" When the editor stops in the file, I drop into jedit, delete whatever is there, the invisible text and save; restart "blocks" and it parses further I should have this to compile in a few days. It outputs to the Tek terminal, for those guys working on that. Randy
