Lots of Canadian's have made significant contributions to contemporary popular music. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, all the members of The Band except Levon Helm, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen and more recently Alanis Morrisette, and the Bare-Naked Ladies. The fact that these people are all Canadians doesn't seem very important to anyone except other Canadians. But you do have a right to feel proud.

I have version 7, which has just been upgraded to version 8 (with the new kernel). Anyhow, its cheap and has a great install program. I'm using it on a two processor server which dual boots Linux and OS/2 Warp Server for e Business, so yes, it will dual boot no problem.

It as packed together with the DR-DOS 7.03 distribution. I think Pesonal Netware is a very good DOS peer-to-peer networking system from Novell, in every aspect better than its Windows counterpart. It offer more reliability and better security. Every Personal Netware user gets a unique login name and password which enables him/her to access as many network resources as it is considered to be necessary.by the supervisor of each server in the network. In contrast, the Windows Networking System (or SMB) has a separate name and password for each network resource (folder or printer). This means that each user of that network needs to have a list of many different resource names and passwords. This thing may lead to confusion and, worse, to security leaks. Internet conectivity can be assured by loading the odipkt.com shim, together with the network card's ODI driver. This eliminates the need of hunting for DOS packet drivers. Also, the generic ODI NE2000 driver works almost for any NE2000 compatible card (some OEM drivers may be buggy; this is the case with my Surecom NE12 card). Odipkt comes together with Arachne.

Ok, I had a wage idea that that was the case, but I didn't think anyone would know ;-) Come to think of it, the chance that she was canadian was higher than her being an american since her songs isn't written/produced by someone in Sweden. Most american artists that sell in the rest of the world have their songs wirher written or produced by people in Sweden. Max Martin won for the thirs year in a row as songwritter in the US IIRC. //Bernie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2001 15:57:50 -0500 From: "L.D.

I've burned CD's with my IDE Yamaha 8-4-24 CDR. Most IDE burners are supported. I don't have it set up on this drive... but if you download xcdroast, it'll have (or point you to) all the instruction you need to get it set up. - Steve ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2001 16:16:02 -0500 From: "L.D.

Yesterday [Saturday] was "graduation party night" for much of the area. That meant that the FD contacted my son at work and asked him to be "on call" with his PowerWagon 4x4 and EMT training. He didn't want to, hoping to get to bed at a decent hour for once, but they reminded him that "graduation party night" was much worse than "prom night" when it came to stupidity on the part of teens which equates to accidents and potential highway deaths. The FD was serious enough about the potential for a mass cas that they set up a secondary site outside of town, in the "middle" of the coverage district. Before my son went to join them at the site, I was given directions on how to get there should they need me. He got home about 0300, and I remained awake and on-call until 0600 or so. We, or should I say the kids, got lucky this year. Only one accident, no one seriously injured, no one dead. But all of them are facing jail time, and they may have to work the next ten years to pay off their debts, since they decided to hijack the limo their parents had rented for them for the night ... and limos don't handle being rolled into gullies worth a damn -- being the original "chop jobs" of the automotive world. I'll wager the driver will also be doing some fast talking, because there should have been no way they managed to get him out of the vehicle while the keys were still in it. I keep wondering why kids who should just be "starting life" seem to want to end it before it begins. l.d. - -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2001 16:24:10 -0500 From: "L.D.

Heywood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The idiocy that surpasseth all understanding Hello Arachnids: Someone I know who runs Arachne 1.70, rev. 3 called me today and said that all of the messages in her inbox except for one had "disappeared". I went to her home and took a look at her inbox while within InSight. There were about 25 messages listed having no headers and all having zero bytes except for one. The subject line of the only message showing headers was "RESTORING THE SULFNBK.EXE FILE". When I clicked on this message I got the Arachne Load Error Page. Next I shut down Arachne and started examining the files in the inbox by using a file viewer. All of the CNM files were there and they seemed complete. I found that the idiot who had sent the message about restoring the SULFNBLK.EXE file had addressed the message to approx. 275 multiple recipients, each having his email address individually listed! The mailer used was MicroSoft Outlook Express. Doesn't Microsoft Outlook Express have an "@list" type of feature similar to what we find in Arachne and Nettamer and other good email clients? Why would this idiot want to send out so many private email addresses in her message headers? I suppose some idiots just like to chum for trolls. The contents of the offending message I will briefly describe as follows: There was a text body saying something to the effect that in case you deleted the SULFNBK.EXE as a result of responding to a virus hoax, then you should restore it because it is a useful Windows file. The message also had a dupe HTML attachment, a gif image attachment, and if that wasn't bad enough, the idiot even included a MicroSoft Word attachment being a document having instructions on how to restore the SULFNBK.EXE file. Of course these simple instructions could have been just as well presented with ascii text. What would you guys think of some idiot who would be so brash as to insinuate that about 275 people on her mailing list might be so stupid as to have fallen for this virus hoax? What would you think of some idiot that would suppose that all these people would have no idea as to how to go about restoring a standard Windows file that ships with the installation CD-ROM? If all of the above were not bad enough, then here is the idiocy which passeth all understanding: The government is so stupid that it even hired this idiot for a responsible high-salaried supervisory position !!!! Back in the days when I worked for the government, job applicants used to have to present evidence of their knowledge, skills, education, experience, and abilities prior to being accepted even for an interview for an entry level position. Look what is happening now! BTW, after having edited the offending message file by deleting almost all of the muliple recipients' email addresses I was able to view the message within InSight and all of the other message files as well. As a result of the experience described above I have discovered that there is some limit as to the number of multiple recipients that InSight can handle in a CNM file. I haven't yet conducted any experiments to determine what the limit is. Has anyone else yet experienced a problem with a CNM file having too many multiple recipients listed? If not, then look for such a CNM file if ever you should have a problem with viewing whatever is in your inbox. In the Windows world idiots abound. All the best, Sam Heywood, happily climbing the walls and bouncing around in a box without windows. - -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/ ------------------------------ End of arachne-digest V1 #1543 ******************************
