For Personal Communications, the host name must be the name of an existing .ws profile.
Normally the .ws profile files are found in the private subdirectory of the Personal Communications install directory.
Personal Communications supports ActiveX/OLE 2.0-compliant containers such as Lotus Notes(R), Lotus WordPro, and Microsoft Word.
If you are interested in writing an application that includes Personal Communications as an object within your ActiveX/OLE 2.0 compliant program, refer to the Host Access Class Library (HACL) programming manual.

TeX on Mac OS X
am installing TeX on my iBook ^^
yeah.. luv my iBook G4 a lot.. it's lighter than my pervious laptop (NEC Versa M400), well the first reason why I bought iBook coz my previous laptop is broken (I had to change the motherboard) so... I decided to buy a new one. My sis recommended iBook G4, coz her friend has one and the price is affordable. And here I am listening to iTune radio ;)
oh rite.. I was going to write links for myself :d
gonna print and read it up tmrw

Notes
To reduce the effect of a noisy image on the operator output, a smoothing operator (a Gaussian blur, for example) is often applied prior to the Laplacian operator.
Blurring is a process of averaging a point with its neighbors.
Gaussian G_sigma(x) = (1/ sqrt(2 PI) sigma) e^(-x^2 / 2 sigma^2)
Here sigma represents the standard deviation.
Increasing sigma makes the shape of the Gaussian shorter and wider without changing the area under the curve (the area under G(x) is always 1).
When convolved with another function, larger values of sigma provide a stronger blur.

how to install DJGPP
Currently I'm studying J.R.Parkers's book entitled "Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision". This book(+CD) contains explanation and source codes on Image Processing. It is written that the compiler (DJGPP, gcc compiler for windows) is also included in the CD. I've tried to install the DJGPP from the CD, but at first I failed because I was using winzip to extract the zip files creating unnecessary folders, i.e. I unzipped file DJDEV112.ZIP with winzip and the winzip extracted this zip file into a folder called DJDEV112. Then I searched for DJGPP in google and found this page: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ Next, I clicked the "zip picker" link, after that, clicked the "Tell me which files I need" and downloaded unzip32.exe. By doing this, I thought my problem was solved, because all the files was in the right folders. However, when I run gcc.exe, an error showed up:
C:\djgpp\bin>gcc
Stack Fault at eip=21fe

Call frame traceback EIPs:

I thought ok, may be this bin files are not compatible with windows xp, so I downloaded the zip files (djgpp v2) in the DJGPP Zip File Picker Results, run unzip32 on all the zip files and.. yes.. gcc run properly. Then I tried to compile canny.c from CH1 in Parker's CD, but there was an error that graphics.h was not found. So, I copied graphics.h from the CD (gnu/include/graphics.h) to djgpp/include in my harddrive.. and everything works fine.
