I am sure that the offending line IS there. Double Checked by downloading the file from http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/avsap/avsap-1.1042.tgz. rgds jtd

There is also mysql. if you are on linux or *nix then mysql or postgresql are good choices too. you may be laying too much emphasis on Fast. if all you want to do is "manage a small chores of your work as soft copy" then even the slowest database would be fast enough for you.

[OT] MTNL TriBand DSL service
by Arun Khan 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Every now and then the MTNL DSL service goes south - cannot browse the web, DNS look up fails etc. - basically no IP traffic goes out of the DSL router. To recover, I have to power cycle the DLink modem 502T. I understand that some of you with the service, may be experiencing the similar problems. What kind of symptoms do you experience? What action on your part recovers the link? Pls. let me know. Send your info off this list (mailto:arunkha@gmail.com). I will collect feedback from all and forward them to the MTNL engineers (I happen to know one). Thx, akk

1) Open Source Accounting Package 2) FreeBSD Forums
by Abhishek Daga 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

I recently spoke to a sales rep of a linux based accounting app but saw it too was too binding. Maybe it's not their fault, maybe i never clearly expressed by specs. I am looking for a platform independent accounting application, built around open source components. The linux based accounting App was not only NOT OS but also tied to a particular platform. No can do. theoretically i should be able to run it on Windows, FreeBSD, Xandros, RH9, FC3 (both client and server) So... Maybe a webbased accounting app with a mysql/postgreSQL backend seems to be the only solution for now. and it should be openSource ofcourse. It's a bummer that a web based app would mean doing away with the function keys. (true? false?) a) It seems that K.G. has a comprehensive open source accounting package out there, which could do with some testing, development and other help from the domain experts as well as technical folks. I am sure some of our CA linuxers can join in? as well as some technical folks? If there are others too developing their own open source apps and would like to pool in resources, maybe we should get together and see how history can be made? any takers? Question 2: Would this be the right forum for posting FreeBSD questions? am setting up a freeBSD box for some stress testing to compare performance with a RH9 box. -abhishek __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

How to get the creation date of a file
by Vidyadutt S 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Hello All Is there any way to retrieve the creation date of a file? The "ls -l" command shows date, but once the file is modified, the date shown is the modification date. Is it possible to get the creation date in any way? Regards S. Vidyadutt -- "This e-mail message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.

What he/she can do is start using a webmail account as suggested by someone else. maybe they do not have access to the web or restricted access from their offices? hey maybe they should come out with cool Linux branded credit cards to redeem themselves. and given that its all about free and open source, they shoudlnt charge us for it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

That would get the message across. (no pun intended). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Why travel in a luxury bus when your car or bike suffices? It may be super engineered by factor of 2 for 1.25 times the price, but the question is does he need that much? right now? Why carry a water tanker when all you need is a water bottle? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I think a ban is called for. Wonder why the onus is on the recipient, when the parent organisation has no control over it's content or employees. rgds jtd
