Make an App from DOS program?
We use a DOS program on our PC's that allows us to look up parts by their numbers. It has a lot of information that is also displayed. Is it possible to have an iphone app made that contains all of our information and will function the same or very similar?
A developer using the iPhone SDK can make an app look anyway you want.

Problems printing to LPT1 from DOS programs in windows 7
Hello
I'm having problems connecting a Epson Lx-300 II to a computer (desktop) without parallel print port, the environment is:
Windows 7 starter
Epson printer Lx-300 II connected via usb adapter
Old DOS program that just prints to LPT1 ports
I have done the following: install the printer, print the test page, as the programs need the LPT1 I share the printer (short name Lx300), then I tried to connect to the lpt1 port via DOS command net use (net use lpt1: \\caja\Lx300) but it ask me a password,
and no matter what password I give it return an error incorrect password.
I've read that Microsoft blocked out this port for security reason, I've done this procedure many times with xp, 2000, milenium, it works fine, but this windows resist.
I just don't know what else to do, I'll apreciate any help.
M.A.M.Dos is not supported in Windows 7. You need to install DOS virtual servers such as DOS Box to run the program.Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Is it possible to make web app from WAR case insensitive?
We were running Web app on NT platform in exploded mode (Weblogic 6.0). Now we
made a WAR file. And now we’ve figured out that web app became case sensitive
in terms of jsp names and paths to those jsp. Is there any way to make it case
insensitive?
Andre, go to our BEA WebSupport portal here
http://support.bea.com/welcome.jsp and login (you'll need to register if you
do not have a login), and use the AskBEA feature to ask "is web app url
case-sensitive?" Look under the section "The Following have been found from
our newsgroup:". There's several customer posting on url case
sensitivity/insensitivity that will benefit you.

Make iPad app from InDesign for private distribution
I want to make an iPad app (or similar) with inDesign that can be distributed via e-mail to a limited number of people. This is for the purpose of spreading information that isn't of interest to people in general, and the app cannot be avaiable through the AppStore or similar. (Yes, I know I can use iBooksAuthor on the Mac but I want to utilize InDesign's full functionality with portrait/landscape layouts etc.)
If not an outright app, can InDesign do something landcape/portrait with interactivity that can be read through iBooks or the Newsstand?
Thank you!Ok, solved it.
Instead of requiring directory wide authentication, I'm only requiring authentication to access the .plist. Therefore the user navigates to the page(unrestricted), taps the download button, which makes the call to the .plist (restricted) and the user is then asked for credentials. When the user successfully authenticates, the .plist becomes available, enabling the download.
The .htaccess file looks like this:
<Files enterprise_viewer.plist>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authenticate to Download"
AuthUserFile /home/file/path/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Files>
I have a few concerns about the overall security of this, so if anyone has more of a background I'd appriciate a chat, but at least this works or basic security.

Help with running app from dos in xp
Hi everybody i am having a little trouble with adjusting the CLASSPATH of the JRE in XP it seems because i am trying to compile this program
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class addition {
public static void main (String[]args)
String firstnumber,secondnumber;
int number1,number2,sum;
firstnumber=JOptionPane.showInputDialog=("Enter number ");
number1= Int.parseInt(firstnumber);
secondnumber=JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("enter second number");
number2=Int.parseInt(secondnumber);
sum=number1+number2;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog=(null,"result " + sum,"The result is",PLAIN_MESSAGE);
by using javac command but i always get the maessage ('javac' is not recognised as an internal or external command operable program or batch file).
Maybe i have set the CLASSPATH wrong or i am not using the 'javac' properly.\
Please help thanks in advance :)yeah need to change PATH
for XP open up the control panel -> then click on system -> then the advanced tab
there should be an enviroment variables button at the bottom, click on it and find the PATH variable:
you need to add the bin directory to the value of PATH.
do this by adding the path of the bin directory at the end of what is alreday there, remeber to separate paths with semi-colons, ';'.
eg if you installed j2sdk on a drive D:
then you would add "; D:\j2sdk\bin" to the value of PATH (obviously without the quotes)
hope this help

Oops - meant to say "Controlling Legacy DOS program from Java ..."
Sorry - don't know what I wasn't thinking - muddled up my post title!
As part of my final year project, I'm trying to control a camera mount automatically using stepper motors. This will then be used for robotic navigattion. Most of my code is written in Java, but I have been given some old C code to control the motors with. One loaded, it sits in an infinite loop that waits for keyboard input, resonds, loops, and so on ...
I'm trying desperately to find a way of issuing commands to this program from my Java programs. I tried to implement a listening server in the C code but got a bit bogged down. Now wonder if I can use the
exec and getOutputStream methods in Java to control the Dos program...?
Any ideas very very welcome. I've reached hair pulling out time!
Ben BarkerEverything is now woeking...ish:
I can now make the below java program bring up, for instance, windows calculator or notepad.
I can't test it on the main code yet at I don't have the right computer in front of me. However, I decided to try to test it by runing cmd using ...exec("cmd"), then printing a command to the output stream to make windows calculator run. This caused precisely nothing to happen ...
Any ideas?
import java.io.*;
class java_test
public static void main(String[] args)
try
Process p= Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd");
InputStream is= p.getInputStream();
OutputStream os= p.getOutputStream();
PrintStream printStr = new PrintStream(os);
printStr.println("calc.exe");
catch (Throwable t)
t.printStackTrace();

Can't execute a DOS program from a Java one
Hi everyone !
I'm a student, working as an apprentice in a company, and I have to make a program to execute faster some daily routine.
Here's my problem : I'm trying to execute a DOS program (mkisofs.exe) whick takes numerous arguments and enables me to create an ISO file.
But, for now, I can't manage to make it work. I've used both Process and ProcessBuilder, but in vain (I'm a student, and not really a JavaProgrammingStar).
If I would manually execute the command, I'll have to type under DOS the following command :
"C:\Documents and Settings\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\mkisofs.exe" -r -J -l -L -b "isolinux/isolinux.bin" -c "isolinux/isolinux.cat" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info -table -graft-points -o D:\ISO\toto.iso "C:\Documents and Settings\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\Clonezilla"or (without spaces)
C:\docume~1\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\mkisofs.exe -r -J -l -L -b "isolinux/isolinux.bin" -c "isolinux/isolinux.cat" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info -table -graft-points -o D:\ISO\toto.iso C:\docume~1\myName\Desktop\Current\Local\ClonezillaTill now, I've only managed to execute windowed program such as MsPaint.exe or DOS program from System32 directory such as taskkill.exe, but I couldn't execute, for example, tasklist.exe, or at least, I couldn't see the result of this command.
Can anyone help me ?
If some code is needed, jsut tell me.
Thanks by advance !
HubertOk guys, I'm French, so excuse me if I didn't use the correct terminology, but I'm quite sure you understood that I was talking about MS-DOS command prompt in Windows XP.
Then, of course I've STFW, but none on my tries was successful. So a little help would be appreciated.
I've first tried this :
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("cmd.exe", "/K", "mspaint.exe");
pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
try {
Process p = pb.start();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
try {
String rep = in.readLine();
System.out.println(rep);
} finally {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();//repTF.setText("erreur");
}It worked.
But this :
String CMD = "C:\\docume~1\\myName\\Bureau\\Current\\Local\\mkisofs.exe";
String arg1 = "-r -J -l -L -b \"isolinux/isolinux.bin\" -c \"isolinux/isolinux.cat\" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4";
String arg2 = "-boot-info -table -graft-points -o D:\\ISO\\toto.iso C:\\docume~1\\myName\\Bureau\\Current\\Local\\Clonezilla";
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(CMD, arg1, arg2);
pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
try {
Process p = pb.start();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
try {
String rep = in.readLine();
System.out.println(rep);
} finally {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();//repTF.setText("erreur");
}does'nt.

Export something from an app to cd?
I'm afraid your quesion isn't very clear.
If that's what you're wanting to do, you need to get the file off your iPad and onto your computer. You can use sync or mail it (if it's not big) or use something like dropbox to upload/download it.
But there is no way to make a cd from the iPad. You have to get the file onto a computer with a CD drive -

Why can't I make a playlist from the vdownload app since installing iso7
So where do you do when apps just seem to stop working, particularly when you paid for an app. I have now had then happen twice and there seems to be very little customer care from Apple when this occurs. Just a note to let customers know that an app will no longer work or who to contact would be great. Thanks, Kevin

Here's a free app to make timelapse videos from your JPEGs.
I know it's not specifically an FCP X topic but I believe a number of FCE and FCP X users have tried to make timelapse videos from a series of photos.
This free app supposedly helps with the creation of such sequences but as I haven't used it I can't comment on how useful or not it may be.
I am just posting it here for anyone interested to try out and if it is any good, perhaps you can spread the word to others.

i find that i am suddenly logged out of program or an app or website, and i am back to the HOME screen. i have to log back in and sometimes i find back exactly where i left off, some stuff i have entered or written, or sometimes i have to start all over again and re-enter data or write back what i seem to have lost.
i tried a different browser and it does not solve the problem. i tried different apps, website and programs and it happens anywhere and at any app, program or website.
apple staff suggested a complete restore of the IOS software, which is quite an involved process. does anyone know of any possible causes and a simpler
solution without having to reset the entire IOS 7.0.6Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

Problem while running dos command from java program
Dear friends,
I need to terminate a running jar file from my java program which is running in the windows os.
For that i have an dos command to find process id of java program and kill by using tskill command.
Command to find process id is,
wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
This command gives the ProcessList.txt file and it contains the processid. I have to read this file to find the processid.
when i execute this command in dos prompt, it gives the processid in the ProcessList.txt file. But when i execute the same command in java program it keeps running mode only.
Code to run this command is,
public class KillProcess {
public static void main(String args[]) {
KillProcess kProcess = new KillProcess();
kProcess.getRunningProcess();
kProcess = new KillProcess();
kProcess.readProcessFile();
public void getRunningProcess() {
String cmd = "wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where \"name='java.exe'\" get commandline,processid";
try {
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = run.exec(cmd);
int i = process.waitFor();
String s = null;
if(i==0) {
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("--> "+s);
} else {
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("====> "+ s);
System.out.println("Running process End....");
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public String readProcessFile() {
System.out.println("Read Process File...");
File file = null;
FileInputStream fis = null;
BufferedReader br = null;
String pixieLoc = "";
try {
file = new File("ProcessList.txt");
if (file.exists() && file.length() > 0) {
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF-16"));
String line;
while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
} else {
System.out.println("No such file");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return pixieLoc;
} when i remove the process.waitFor(), then while reading the ProcessList.txt file, it says "No such file".
if i give process.waitFor(), then it's in running mode and program is not completed.
Colud anyone please tell me how to handle this situation?
or Is there anyother way to kill the one running process in windows from java program?
Thanks in advance,
SathishHi masijade,
The modified code is,
class StreamGobbler extends Thread

// any error message?

StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
// any output?
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
// kick them off
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
// any error???
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
} catch (Throwable t)
t.printStackTrace();
}when i execute the above code, i got output as,
Execing cmd.exe /C wmic process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
and keeps in running mode only.
If i execute the same command in dos prompt,
CommandLine
ProcessId
java -classpath ./../lib/StartApp.jar;./../lib; com.abc.middle.startapp.StartAPP 2468
If i modify the command as,
cmd.exe /C wmic process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid > 123.txt
and keeps in running mode only.
If i open the file when program in running mode, no contents in that file.
If i terminte the program and if i open the file, then i find the processid in that file.
Can you help me to solve this issue?
