What Is
It?
-=====================================--=====================================-
If you don't know, then ask your mom and dad. Seriously. This is an
e-zine
for lots (lost) of different peoples. Those in the 203 scene will
prolly
like it or at least be able to gulp it down. Haquers, Doodle Boys,
Lepers
and even an occasional Warez D00d will find a moment of nice-nice in
this
vanilla dome. Have fun.

Editorial:
I came to a realization after my much troubled and depressed
freshman
year: Teenagers suck. What I mean is that for all are bitching,
whining and
"experimenting" nothing good comes from it. So the next time teenage
angst
came looking for me, I told it to go to hell. It told me to get lost.
Now
I'm beyond lost. Wasn't that poetic?
Looking back at that last paragraph makes me again think of
teenagers
and my intolerable hatred for them, most possibly because I am one. I
hate
what I wrote, not the content but the style. Too bad it's mine.
Enough self-
reflection.
Emotion is something that I seem to lack, except in sporadic
bits of
pain and pleasure that happen during a moment. During a moment may
sound like
the present but is most defiantly the past. A tough idea to fathom?
Maybe.
I don't get depressed anymore for than 5 seconds at a time, it
succumbs to
this new feeling of hollowness, which I identify with being beyond
lost.
Will I always be lost? That�s the very reason I hate
teenagers with
all there, "My parents are divorced", "I shoot up heroin", "All my
friends
suck", whineologies. Teenage angst should never be pitied, it should
raise
anger. The thing is that 99.99% of what most teenagers do is totally
pointless and doesn't make a difference and they�ll denounce most of
their
choices and beliefs once they are "grown up". When your beyond lost,
it takes
so much effort just to get to the point of simply being lost, but
you'll
prolly get out of it as soon as you conform or grow-up. As if there
is a
difference.
Hmm.
I reflect back at what I wrote and realize that this idea is
just too
much for me to put down in words at this moment, but it is most
defiantly
real. Too make it simple: I've seen the world, and man in particular,
through
my own tainted view and have acknowledged it as such. I don't find
anything
at the root level of mankind to be "there" enough for me to show more
emotion
or expression then one can muster from the expansion of the moment.
Nothing
makes me really happy or sad, no extremes. I miss the extremes.
Perhaps
being hollow or empty is a form of depression, but if this is so,
there is
most defiantly a schism going on between them and modern man. If your
empty
your not depressed, I swear. It can be confused with depression but
it lies
in its own glorious realm of pain.
One last example. A friend of mine, whom I believe is also
beyond
lost, had an abortion. Boohoo, right? Not really. To get it out of
the way,
no I'm not the father you yucky minded people. Was this a sob story?
No.
The pity people gave her, she used either as survival, playing off it,
or
totally dismissed it. I did not pity her after the first moment of my
knowledge. Moments can be dangerous. We named the fetus and played
games
with it and made jokes, and not to cover up uneasiness, but because we
did.
That's are identity, more true in public charades then we can feel in
are
solitude. Then she had the abortion and it was other, she didn't cry
and I
believe it when she says she doesn't harbor any hidden sadness agenda
[Sadness Agenda? Sounds like a Smashing Bumpkins song!] or whatnot.
I never
felt bad about it or the games, it was occupation in a dull world. I
miss the
extremes. I did feel bad however, I think I did anyway. I didn't
feel bad
about what I had done, I felt bad about how I should of felt for what
I have
done. So I emulated the pain, or the "feeling bad". Well, emulation
is used
a lot, and very well in are race, defiantly to a potion where most are
ignorant of it. What I did above most people do, but hide it so much.
I
define emulation as artificial means to getting the real thing or a
reasonable
facsimile. We don't love, hate, shame, or anything anymore, except
during
those dangerous moments that soon leave. We emulate are emotions, we
are
becoming machines. You shouldn't make fun of people who practice
self-mutilation, pain is a very real thing and it can make a moment
linger, a
very hard trick to do. Cause when the moment fades your left with a
memory,
that can be fuel for the emulation process, but itself a very poor
imitation.
So in summary, most are already beyond lost but find their way
back in
the falsehood of familiarity known as conformity. The rebellion gene,
like a
match, bursts into a furious uproar for a short time, the teenage
years, and
quickly dies down with only a few cherry embers left. A few can keep
lighting
matches, and these are the people that don't exist.
Well, enough philosophy for right now. So what will Beyond
Lost be
about? I'd like to make into an omniscene e-zine for 203/860. So
that means,
humor, computer stuff, phracking, music, art, and coding. Just
remember who
you are and how much it hurts to be a thinking machine, if you let
yourself
really think. Pain be good gumbo. :)

UNI(X)fying DOS with the letter C++| by Khelbin"
-----------------------------------=""""""""""""
I know some people have been asking about running UNIX but they don't
want to
give up DOS and they say they can't find WABI or SoftWindows and they
don't
have money to pay for those programs and blah blahabalah...
Well here's another alternative. Go to
http://cccsat.sorostm.ro/pub/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish/ms_sh and you can
get a
unix-like shell for DOS and some unix-like programs that run in DOS.
It's
nothing compared to real unix but maybe it's a place to start. Also,
I wrote
a cheesy little lpr program in C. It works find on my printer but I
seriously
doubt it would be great for the masses (I wrote it cuz there was no
lpr in
those unix-like utilities). Well, here it is if you want:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void prn(char *argv);
void frmt_pg(void);
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if(!(argc == 2 || argc == 3)) {
printf("\nUsage: lpr [-e] <filename>\n");
exit(1);
}
/* I should have used pointer notation to throw off any new C
programmers :) */
if(argv[1][0] == '-') {
prn(argv[2]);
fputc('\x0C',stdprn);
}
else
prn(argv[1]);
return 0;
}
void prn(char *argv)
{
FILE *fptr;
char buff[81];
int lcnt=0;
if( (fptr = fopen(argv,"r")) == NULL) {
printf("\nCould not open file %s\n",argv);
exit(1);
}
frmt_pg();
while( fgets(buff, 80, fptr) != NULL) {
fputs(buff, stdprn);
putc('\r',stdprn);
if(++lcnt == 58) { n_pg(); lcnt = 0; }
}
fclose(fptr);
}
void frmt_pg(void) {
int i,j;
for(j=0;j<4;j++) {
for(i=0;i<81;i++)
fputc(' ',stdprn);
fputc('\r',stdprn);
}
}
void n_pg(void) {
int i,j;
for(j=0;j<4;j++) {
for(i=0;i<81;i++)
fputc(' ',stdprn);
fputc('\r',stdprn);
}
frmt_pg();
}
Feal free to modify it. I wrote it in 5 minutes and then debugged it
in
another 5 minutes so I'm sure it's nothing great. The n_pg() and
frmt_pg() functions do a little formatting that's probably specific to
my
printer. I'm not sure.. I really don't know much about printers since
I've only had one for about three weeks now but if you print something
more than one page on mine, when it starts printing on the next page,
it
loses about 2 lines of text (this is when doing a simple "type <file>
>
PRN".
Here's something that goes good with that little notice about UNIX
utilities
under DOS:
In continuing with making DOS look more UNIX-like (really, get the
shell and
utilities I told you about if you can't give up DOS), here is a man
program
for DOS which I whipped up. This time it took me even less time and
I'm not
a great coder so I'm sure there's improvements but it works.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
/* Change this to the path to your man pages */
#define MANPATH "c:\\usr\\local\\man\\"
/* Change this to the extensions on your man pages */
#define MANEXT ".man"
void main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *fptr;
char count=0;
char buff[81] = MANPATH;
char *file_ext = MANEXT;
if(argc != 2) {
printf("\nUsage: man <command>\n");
exit(1);
}
strcat(buff,argv[1]);
strcat(buff,file_ext);
if( (fptr=fopen(buff,"r")) == NULL) {
printf("\nman: no man entry for %s\n",argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
while( (fgets(buff, 80, fptr)) != NULL) {
fputs(buff,stdout);
if(++count == 21) {
printf("\n--More\n");
count = 0;
if(getch() == 'q') exit(0);
}
}
}
If you have access to a UNIX box, you can borrow their man pages.
Unfortunately, if you do a "man <command> > <file.man>" you will get a
bunch
of escape codes in there. You can easily circumvent this by piping it
through
col. Exmaple: man diff | col -b > dif.man. You'll probably want to
put in
linefeeds for dos too right now. On connix the program to do this is
called
bsd2dos and most boxes have some type of program to do this. Here's a
finalized example so you don't get pissed because you have to think:
man diff | col -b | bsd2dos > diff.man
If you know sed, you can filter the control shiz out that way too.
Also, through Altavista, I have been able to find a version of Awk,
gzip,
gunzip, vi, uuencode, uudecode, and sed for DOS. [The version of C I
got also
comes with the god of Unix commands, grep!] Pretty soon your computer
will be
quite mutated. oh, the MS-SHELL I mentioned can be very usefull
although it
does have one bug that I discovered. When exiting my TC++ IDE, my
computer
will hang. Also, batch programs run a lot slower and if there is a
directory
with tons of files, the ls program sucks. Nevertheless, it has many
advantages also and you can easily just type exit and you're back in
DOS.
/*
rm2.c
compile with "gcc -o rm2 rm2.c"
I know this is quite lame but it could come in handy for someone
who
would like to delete a file which they have write access to and
is
owned by another user and resides in a world writeable directory
with
the sticky bit enabled (like /tmp).
It actually doesn't delete a file, but resets the file to 0
bytes,
destroying any data previously in the file.
Note: File deletion is based on the current directories
permission,
not the files mode itself. In this aspect, the sticky bit
is
useful for files with correct permissions.
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 80 /* increase for large filenames */
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *fptr;
if(argc != 2) {
printf("\nUseage: rm2 <filename>\n\n");
exit(1);
}
if( (fptr = fopen(argv[1],"w")) == NULL) {
printf("\nCannot remove file %s\n\n",argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
printf("\nFile %s has been destroyed\n\n",argv[1]);
}
/*
Oh yea, I forgot that you could just do a wc -l on the file, vi
it,
and then just ndd it and then save it (where n is the number of
lines
wc reported). oh well.. if you're in this area code you probably
don't gno how to use vi anyways and would prolly just pico it and
then
block the whole file and kill the block and then save so I guess
this
would save you a lot of time after all. [Isn't he cute folks?]
The lesson to learn here is that the sticky-bit is not some
god-like
permission that will keep your files safe. Vorrect file
permissions
should always be present. Not that this hasn't been known for
some
time but rybread needed more stuff for his e-mag and I wasn't
about to
let that space be filled with ANSI art or shit like that! :)
[ANSI? Never,
though maybe an ASCII...]
*/

/*
Ok, so I was sick of not generating any good code for you and just
getting something that "worked" so heres an addition to that shell
for DOS that I'd say *is* good code and optimized.
Since cls isn't a DOS executable, when you load up the UNIX shell
for DOS, you have no way to clear the screen. The utilities
package
don't have a clear program either so I wrote this one.
I know it'd be easier to use the clrscr() function but I think this
might run faster than that. Anyways, I was bored and felt like I

Using your Text Video RAM for Perverse "ANSI" Practices
(or, using the VGA card to scroll big pictures)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This crap AGAIN?? Doesn't he LEARN not to write these things?
Nope.
Anyways, here's sort of a continuation of our last little
jaunt into
programming land.
This time, we'll go over using the 64k of text mode video
memory in
everyones video card to do some good old fashioned scroll'n.
Consider this:
This is video memory at $B800...
�� ����������������������Ŀ ķ
One Ķ � PAGE 0 � �� 4000 bytes, or ONE 80x25 text
screen
80x50 � ����������������������Ĵ Ľ
text � � PAGE 1 � Page 0 starts at $B800:0000
screen �� ����������������������Ĵ Page 0 ends at $B800:3FFF
8000 bytes � PAGE 2 � Page 1 starts at $B800:4000
����������������������Ĵ " 1 ends at $B800:7FFF
� PAGE 3 � " 2 starts at $B800:8000
����������������������Ĵ and so on...
� �
| and so on... | (There should be 16 of these
pages...or
� � 8...I forget...find out for
yourself...)
(4000 bytes for an 80x25? Yup. 2 bytes per character...char
and
attribute...((80*25)*2)...)
Building on what we learned last time, we can stow our binary
text
image at $B800:0000, since VGA text modes are, under normal
conditions,
defaulting to page 0...
Every 100% compatable VGA card can move it's internal "where do
I
start" pointer to wherever you want in the $B800 segment...this is how
we do
our scrolling...we can take an 80x100 ANSI, and use the
pseudo-socially-acceptable TheDraw program to convert that bastard
ANSI into
binary format...you should have a 16000 byte binary dump now.
BINOBJ that bastard, move the image with a swift
"move(@yourimagehere^, mem[$B800:0000], 16000)" to the jaw...from
here, you
need to access the video offset register. Code to do this is included
in
BIGBOOTY.PAS, of course. It's straightforward assembler...don't get
too
confused now.
We sync to the VSYNC in there to smooth things out...I'd
recommend
NOT including it in there, and sticking it in manually, but hey, thats
YOUR
perogative.
You feed the register (or the procedure in this case) an
OFFSET into
the video ram...so, if we wanted to flip between page 0 and page 1, we
can do
this:
setoffset(4000); {page 1}
setoffset(0); {page 0}
You can do some nifty tricks with just that for some cheap
high-speed
text mode animations...double buffered text mode game...not to
shabby...try
it. NOW....GODDAMN YOU!! WRITE IT!!! COME ON!! ABUSE ME!!!!!!!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.............
<cough>
Anyways...to SCROLL downward, we can do this:
{------------}
var
y:byte;
begin
put_that_bitch_ansi_into_video_memory;
for y:=0 to 99 do setoffset(y*80);
end.
{------------}
And off it goes...kind of makes a tear fall into my
beer...<sniff><sniff>...*sigh*...oh well...
So...in the end: EXAMINE THE PROCEDURE...it's mostly
assembler...KNOW WHY IT WORKS...and for GOD SAKES STOP TOUCHING ME
THERE!

Well, the original drowning dog was just something I made up before I came here. I suppose I had seen from someone how to draw a wave; Rob Nauta has one, they aren't uncommon. Rendering Elron & the Tomato from the photograph to line was something I did after I'd seen the group & gained in confidence. Actually the main examples of ascii-art I saw were on a.r.s: the new squirel with his squirel, jostp with his sleeping cat, and webwalker with his piggies. Before the newsreader had an address book, I had a Windoxe "cardfile" of newsgroup contributors with stuff like that in it.
