Subject: Re: internet for poor, membership decline, graphics via email
I first got the information from a very short article entitled "yong\
dian\ zi^ you/ jian\ shang\ wang^ (get the web by e-mail)" published
in "dian\ nao^ bao\ (popular computer week)" (it was in a 1997 issue
but I read the article in 1998 at the library).
I've recommended this accmailing method to my friends and pen-pals,
but few of them seems to be interested, the main reason is "you have
to type a lot and wait for too long", according to what they said.
actually that article offered little information, but at least it gave
me the idea. with this first step and some curiosity, everything else
followed: the list, the statistics, the servers, the how-tos...
I remember last year when I first subscribed to it I really learned a
lot, everyday there was something new and interesting. thanks to it,
now I've got almost everything I need to know, but I still keep
subscribed to it just in case something newer might appear.

Subject: Joining .ASF movie clips
I downloaded some *.ASF Movie files and want to join them into one file.
I tried doing it via WINZIP (uncompressed of course) but it did not work
for that type of file. Can anyone help me, Please?

short answer -- you can't
long answer -- see short answer
even longer answer -- unless the owner has set the file associations
incorrectly, you can't see the files. You may be able to see them if
the owner makes a file listing avialable. Neither of these methods is
likely on a majority of sites.

Accmailers,
I'm really losing it. I can't remember anything anymore and when I read
what I've written it looks right when it's wrong. Forgive me, must be
old age (:>)
I wrote this yesterday in response to a problem. Well It's wrong too!!!
Here is the correct method: I promise this one is correct, I tried it...
GETPOST ACCMAIL 668 669 1767 1775 2389 2410
Maybe I better not answer anymore...

Don't know if it will work, that is, does each ASF file have it's own
start and end and cannot be joined together. But you should use the
binary command to copy and merge binary files.
That is, from the DOS prompt copy /b movie1.asf + movie2.asf newmovie.asf

MOST OF THE WEB'S WIDE WORLD IS OFF THE MAP
A study by the NEC Research Institute has found that the vast majority
of 600 million Web pages open to the public are not indexed by search
engines. The report -- which be can be found at
http://www.wwwmetrics.com/ -- says the top search engines in terms of
coverage are Northern Light (covering 16% of the Web), Snap (15.5%),
AltaVista (15.5%), Hotbot (11.3%). Other search engine coverage
figures are: Microsoft (8.5%), Infoseek (8%), Google (7.8%), Yahoo
(7.4%), Excite (5.6%), Lycos (2.5%), and Euroseek (2.2%). The search
engines seem to be biased toward sites that receive the most traffic,
and use a site's popularity to decide whether it should be indexed.
The study also says that 83% of the Web now contains commercial
content, 6% offers information of scientific or educational value, and
1.5% is focused on pornography. (New York Times 8 Jul 99)
