  Inventory Database (Access)
 
We are developing an Inventory Database Using MS Access. What we need is to be able to add inventory from new sets as quickly as possible. To do this we have set up a querie that displays the inventory of the set and the current instock inventory. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: web surveys
 
(...) Alternately, it might be that they're chosing to make it for sale for the platform with the most mass-market potential, and for techie niche platforms, give it away, which won't hurt their bottom line much, but will increase their geek cred.

  Re: web surveys
 
(...) Perl also does well if you do need to use the program again later. Why would it be otherwise? (...) Someone selling a program for one platform but giving it away for free for another platform is, in my opinion, rabid advocacy. It only hurts (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: web surveys
 
Jeremy: (...) [...] (...) Hmprf! Don't call my Ada progras "scripts"! But yes. Generally people use Perl for CGI programs. If you get it right the first time, and don't need to use the program again a few months later it is probably also ok for the (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

The guestbook data is saved as a serialized CGI object, but you could easily snarf it later and write it to (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: web surveys
 
(...) First thing first: Perl. Anything else is just a script. ;-) I'd recommend saving the questionnaire data into a database straight from the CGI script. You might want to look into MySQL and the Perl module Msql-Mysql-modules; having a working (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  web surveys
 
Hi all, I have a question about web based survey forms. I want to design a form for a local watershed group. The form will be a combination of yes/no, fill in the blank, and choices(ie 1-10, 11-20, etc.). Is it easy to compile the responses into a (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

It's not available yet, but a freeware SSH client called FiSSH is in the works by some folks at UC San Diego working with others at MIT. Go here for more details: (...) (25 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

[ (X)FUT lugnet.admin.general and lugnet.off-topic.geek ] Matthew Miller: (...) Now that you ask for it... I did consider if it would be practical to train an ANN to classify the posts[1].

  Which ssh for Win32? (Was: Which telnet emulator for Win32?)
 
(...) This ia a way cool telnet; thank! Okay, now for extra credit... :-, I need a quick-and-dirty ssh client for Win32, preferrably something which can fit on a floppy, run on Win95 *AND* WinNT, and is cheap but relateively bug-free.

(...) Trouble...not sure. (...) (URL) all OSS, so it makes life easier. I beleive (don't know) that the VNC client for Mac is stable, it's just the server that is beta. You'll need the matching packages for your linux system. They come in .deb and (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: RTL posting stats (was Re: Lugnet Newsgroups Anniversary!)
 
(...) Good points. It can be argued that massive flame-war threads *are* indicative of the level of community. If only because people care enough to get into long-winded pointless debates. (...) Not sure about this, except to look for posts with (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Which telnet emulator for Win32?
 
(...) I think NetTerm is what you're looking for. <URL:(URL) The "phone book" is less than user friendly, unless they've fixed that since I last looked.
