    Hello, I would like to create a small app that keeps the WinXP screensaver from activating. There are many posts with the same suggestions: send keys, move the mouse pointer. I've done both using sendkeys() and setcursorpos(). I get the desired effect on the screen, BUT the screensaver still...

    conditional logic in EXPECT script

    I've written a simple expect script to automate an sftp transfer to a remote server (shared keys not an option - must use password). It works great, except for the first time! This is because the local ssh-key file must be created. Here is the script: expect <<EOF spawn sftp $USER@$HOST...

    cgi that feeds up a PDF file

    Hello, I need to write a cgi that returns a PDF file to the browser (as if they had clicked on a PDF link). My cgi can open the raw PDF file easily enough and push the data. What I'm not sure about is the pre-amble bits that preceed the actual PDF data stream (and possible post-amble bits)...

    I've got a notebook with Office XP. It was a Network Installation from a server that no longer exists - and won't be coming back (the company no longer exists, but the software was legally licensed at the time). I would like to apply SP2 to Office on this notebook. Microsoft states that it...
