Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my NuTCRACKER Platform application read my binary data files incorrectly?

MKS Toolkit, D?veloppement UNIX et Windows - FAQs
You could have a byte-ordering problem. The MKS Toolkit Resource Kit contains a port of ONC RPC, including XDR. The XDR functions (and the program RPCGEN) help you encode and decode binary data. The resource kit contains a sample use of XDR to save/retrieve a data structure in a platform neutral form, using the xdrstdio library. Libraries exist for UDP, TCP, memory, and the file system. The Toolkit socket library has implementations of htons(), htonl(), ntohs(), and ntohl().

What is the NuTCRACKER Platform?

MKS Toolkit, D?veloppement UNIX et Windows - FAQs
The NuTCRACKER Platform is the runtime component of Toolkit that provides UNIX system-layer emulation in a Win32 environment. MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers and MKS Toolkit for Professional Developers include header files, libraries, and other SDK tools that support development and deployment of NuTCRACKER Platform applications and DLLs.

Why isn't there a binary for my platform?

Apache Server Frequently Asked Questions
The developers make sure that the software builds and works correctly on the platforms available to them; this does not necessarily mean that your platform is one of them. In addition, the Apache HTTP server project is primarily source oriented, meaning that distributing valid and buildable source code is the purpose of a release, not making sure that there is a binary package for all of the supported platforms.

How do I read (or write) binary data?

Python Library and Extension FAQ
or complex data formats, it's best to use the struct module. It allows you to take a string containing binary data (usually numbers) and convert it to Python objects; and vice versa. For example, the following code reads two 2-byte integers and one 4-byte integer in big-endian format from a file: import struct f = open(filename, "rb") # Open in binary mode for portability s = f.read(8) x, y, z = struct.

Can a NuTCRACKER Platform-enabled application be implemented as a DLL?

MKS Toolkit, D?veloppement UNIX et Windows - FAQs
Yes, this is easy to do in Toolkit. Refer to Porting Shared Libraries in the Cross-Platform Developer's Guide.

Is it possible to convert a NuTCRACKER Platform application into an OLE server?

MKS Toolkit, D?veloppement UNIX et Windows - FAQs
Yes, this is a major advantage of using Toolkit. Please see the "HowTo" in the MKS Toolkit Resource Kit for details and source examples. In addition, see Evolving Applications with COM in the Cross-Platform Developer's Guide.

How can I read/write structs from/to data files?

Infrequently Asked Questions in comp.lang.c
Loop with putchar. Be careful; if your machine uses signed chars by default, all of the sign bits in your structure elements will be reversed. [a]

How can I download binary files?

Frequently Asked Questions about PhysioNet
The details of doing this depend on your web browser, not on anything specific to PhysioNet or to the specific files you wish to download, so the first thing you should do is to learn how to use your web browser. Most browsers have a Help button that can get you started.

How can I read my VAX binary data somewhere else?

Fortran FAQ
Some vendors provide bulit in methods (DEC provides this via special options on the OPEN statement). Others provide library support (on SPARC products, with the SunPro compilers, checkout convert_external) Robert Hickler Tel (303) 863-8088 Accelr8 Technology Email robert@accelr8.com for more information. The following three Q's and A's based on email from: It is very common; and of course is part of Fortran 90.

What is the binary compatibility between NuTCRACKER and Toolkit releases?

MKS Toolkit, D?veloppement UNIX et Windows - FAQs
All releases going forward from NuTCRACKER 4.0 are upwardly binary compatible. In particular, NuTCRACKER 4.5, 4.3, 4.2a, 4.2, 4.1 and 4.0 are compatible. This means that an application built with NuTCRACKER 4.0 will run with no problems on subsequent releases of the NuTCRACKER Platform. Toolkit 7.5 includes NuTCRACKER Platform 4.5.

I have filed my application incorrectly as a BOP application? How do I correct this?

NJDEP Air Quality Permitting Program (AQPP) - RADIUS
Export the application to Radius. Open the application, this will be the inventory page. Re-name the application by clicking on "File" and "Save As". A box will appear requesting the new name. Re-name the application and then select "Advanced". This will allow you to choose a new category and type. Export the application then re-submit to the Department.

Datasqueeze does not read data files produced by my detector. What can I do?

Frequently Asked Questions
We anticipate adding more formats in the near future; contact us if there is a particular data format you would like to see added. Graphics files are really intended only as a way of reading in non-xray data, for example produced as a Fourier transform of some optical image. A graphics file is not the same as the original data file. A typical data file is at least 1024x1024 pixels, and has a depth of at least 16 bits (depending on the detector type).

Can we configure SCC to not check-in the binary files? Where are such configurations done?

Jim Lamb : Team Foundation Server FAQ
Team Foundation Version Control provides a way to limit check-ins by setting up check-in policies that are evaluated before a check-in can take effect. The easiest way to do this is by authoring a policy that checks if the user is trying to check-in a binary file from a given folder structure and reject or accept it in accordance. If a file is under source control it inherently means that is read only and the only way to save an edit is to checkout or change the file properties back to write.

Where can I download a Xvid binary for my platform?

Xvid.org: FAQ
Not the Xvid codec itself. But there are free third-party tools available that permit enhancing Xvid files by interactive menus or subtitles. Take a peek at the link section.

Where is the binary distribution for my platform?

Appendix? A.? Frequently Asked Questions (With Answers) abou...
The CLISP maintainers can only build CLISP binary distributions on those SourceForge CompileFarm platforms that are up an running at the time of the CLISP release and also have a reasonably modern C compiler. Note that CLISP is included in many software distributions, see the section "Get CLISP" on the CLISP's home page.

What is an Application Profile and what data does it associate with a DOI name?

Frequently Asked Questions
Every DOI name is associated with one or more Application Profiles (APs). APs, which will themselves be identified by DOI names, are abstractions used to group DOI names into sets in which all DOI names of the given set, or AP, share a metadata schema, business rules for DOI name assignment, and other common characteristics. An AP consists of at least a set of structured metadata elements, plus some rules (policy, business and procedural rules, not all necessarily automated).

Question: What types of data files does Dataplot read?

Frequently Asked Questions
Currently, Dataplot reads ASCII files. These files can be created either using your favorite text editor or as the output from an commercial software program or as output from one of your own programs. The standard format of the ASCII file is a rectangular block of data. That is, the columns represent variables and the rows represent observations (Dataplot assumes that all variables in a given file have the same number of observations).

But a previous release had a binary distribution for my platform, why does not the current one?

Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions (With Answers) about ...
It was probably contributed by a user who did not (yet?) contribute a binary distribution for the current release. You can find out who contributed a specific binary distribution by looking at the release notes in the SourceForge Files section.

How can I read/write structures from/to data files?

Structures, Unions, and Enumerations
It is relatively straightforward to write a structure out using fwrite: fwrite(&somestruct, sizeof somestruct, 1, fp); and a corresponding fread invocation can read it back in. What happens here is that fwrite receives a pointer to the structure, and writes (or fread correspondingly reads) the memory image of the structure as a stream of bytes. The sizeof operator determines how many bytes the structure occupies.
