Computer No problem with Aqua!

No, no, no--no problem with Aqua at all. Acrobat 5.0 was a Classic application, meaning its code hadn't had the ~10% rewrite necessary to run natively in both OS 9.x and OS X, meaning that its component files hadn't been given UNIX permissions. The owner of those files was "System," but since I couldn't remove them from the trash (except, as I later discovered) to their original location, I couldn't get to them because each username has its own Trash, and I couldn't find the one that had the files when I logged in as the superuser (this is a failing on my part).

NAME
logprn - merge Common-Log Format web logs based on time-stamps SYNOPSIS
logprn logfile idle-time[:max-wait] command DESCRIPTION
The logprn program is designed to print new data that is appended to log files. It will wait until a specified amount of time has elapsed since the last write to the file before printing the data. It will print the data by pipeing it to a specified command. The command will be run by popen(3) so the usual shell commands will operate (whether this is a bug or a feature is a matter of opinion). OPTIONS
logfile specifies a file to read data from. It should be a regular file not a pipe, device, or anything else. idle-time max-wait command EXIT STATUS
0 Never happens, this program will run forever. 1 Bad command-line parameters or couldn't stat the log file on startup - couldn't start the program. 2 File disappeared or became unreadable at run-time. 3 Can't run the specified command. AUTHOR
This program, its manual page, and the Debian package were written by Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>. BUGS
Uses popen (3) but I consider this a feature not a bug. SEE ALSO
popen(3) Russell Coker <;russell@coker.com.au> 0.06 logprn(1)
