From: Vince Coen on 17 Mar 2010 14:36 Hello All! Does anyone know if there is pro*cobol available on one of the free Oracle 11g (or later) variants. I would like to play with it with Open Cobol (if poss) and may be rework generated results to operate with Mysql. I downloaded cobolcompiler-sources/oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm but its hard to see what is included! Vince

Use midnight commander (mc). This has a virtual file system for RPMs (and tar, zip, gz, etc). Navigate to the rpm file, press enter and it goes inside. CONTENTS.cpio is a directory of the files being installed so you can move around to see what is there. yum install mc

As long as we're trumpeting software, I'd like to suggest Mikogo. Mikogo is a remote desktop tool that allows you to transfer the desktop, mouse, and keyboard to your machine - or vice-versa. You can also move files between machines. Mikogo is free, even for commercial use, and does not require anything to be installed on the remote computer. The remote user simply navigates to www.mikogo.com and enters a session-id which you provide. After that, the two machines are as one. Further up to six additional remote machines can participate in the session. What makes this product superior to others is that it is free for commercial use. You can remotely assist one of your clients legally and without installing anything on their machine.

The 'organizer' or 'presenter', ie the machine that is being looked at by the others, _does_ require software to be installed. In the case of providing support for a client it is the client that must install the software so that the support can see the client's problem. The 'participants' or viewers see the presenter's desktop on their web browser. While it is capable of switching to a 'participants' desktop that is only possible if that user has the software installed.

No, Sorry. I was counting on you to be able to deduce that yourself. We experienced computer users call this "thread drift" - it's fairly common - and we old-timers sometimes forget that neophytes read what we write. I apologize for the oversight. > > >> Mikogo is a remote desktop tool that allows you to transfer the >> desktop, mouse, and keyboard to your machine - or vice-versa.

You are mistaken. The remote location need not load any software or do anything other than log on to the Mikogo web site. The initiation can be configured to immediately take control of the remote location's computer upon connection (with permission). We use this several times a month and I assure you the remote locations load nothing on their computer. "...an ideal feature for remote support session organizers. With it, you can start a session, invite a participant, and have the participant instantly become the presenter and show their screen to you. You can even obtain initial remote control of your participant's keyboard & mouse..." You youngsters should really leave the technical stuff to your betters. |
