Subject: access denied

Hi List,

I installed the new wwwman.exe on 3 machines now

1st = FAT32 laptop with 1.61 and the \\ and Your Computer bug is
defenitely gone ( congrats :*) )

2nd = FAT16 pentium I with 1.61 = new bug

3rd = FAT16 486 with 1.71UE = \\ bug is fixed = congratulations :*)

The new bug
***********
Booting to DOS, to win95 and DOS box or to win95 and back to DOS makes
no difference.

In Arachne by pressing F10 gives Arachne Desktop
Choosing: All files, HTML pages or Text files does give a BEEP and the
cursor disapears. Nothing happens...

Touch 'Esc' = go back gives:
URL = file:c:\arachne\*.* and the message "De toegang is geweigerd"
This means in English: access denied.

A reload does not help.

Back to the desktop of Arachne, click utilities (works fine)
Click 'History', click 'file:c:\arachne\*.*' => access denied again
                 click 'file:@:*.*' => accessible drives = OK

access denied on file:c:\arachne\*.htm and file:c:\arachne\*.txt

Clicking \\ => file:C:\*.*
               Choosing now for "arachne\" gives that beep again.

************ 
So for the time being... the old wwwman.exe is reinstalled and all is
well again (except the \\-bug).
If I am the only one complaining... there is no point in looking into 
this matter causing trouble in just one of 3 machines with just one win95
version and Arachne 1.61.
************

CU, Bastiaan

That's another idea that everyone can thank Clarence for. :))

BTW,
I had to change the '$' to '%' in the subject because the
cisnet.com SMTP program refuses '$' signs in the subject line. :(

554 Filtered out by Filter 0 because "Subject" = "Re: $k"

BTW2,
This gives me the perfect opportunity to tell everyone that
'%' can be used in mime.cfg instead of '$'.
(core.exe recognizes either one when it processes the mime.cfg line)

Subject: Re: arachne-digest V1 #1993

The first PC word processor that I used, the Leading Edge Word Processor 
(LEWP) that came with the first PC I bought, the Leading Edge Model D (~1986) 
used long file names and the same technique that M$ uses, the alias file.  
The only difference between M$'s LFN and LEWP's LFN is that BG puts a tilde 
before the number, whereas LEWP had no special character between the number 
and the truncated file name.

It seems to me that M$'s LFN is a hoax --- it looks at the LFN, goes to the 
alias file and finds what 8.3 file name really is used to access the file.

If you go to the DOS screen in Windoze and want to go to the "Program Files" 
folder, you have to "CD PROGRA~1" and the same with other folders/files, 
eliminating spaces and truncating the LFN to 8.3.

Holiday greetings to all around the world.

Ray,

You misconstrue what I said.  I didn't say he should not attempt to fix
the \\ bug.  What I said, and what I stand by, is that attempting to
make Arachne run on advanced platforms when it is designed for --
practically the lifeline for -- low-end legacy non-supported by most of
the world systems, said systems neither needing or being able to
function with bloatware.

IMHO there are lots of other things that deserve attention before
that very minor flaw. 

Being an old fart who learned to type twenty years before PC's
were available, I've always hit "enter" at the end of the line.
I can do this without thinking. It's a good habit to use short 
lines for email anyway.

I vote for Glenn to concentrate on whatever strikes his fancy.

GEOWORKS supported long filenames in DOS several years before Microsoft
managed to get 95 launched. So Microsoft has no claim to the idea
whatsoever.

Yes, but going into 2003 what's a low end legacy system? Anything
running 95, 98 or ME would now be considered "legacy" systems by
the mainstream.

Tempis fugit. Arachne should be compatible with those no longer
advanced systems that are now commonly discarded as "obsolete".

Many of us are 'forced' to use those 'obsolete' winxx systems...
exept for small .txt mailings nearly all text are in WORD-format now.
And I have lots of other programs and hardware that need windows...

So Arachne must be able to run in an environement where win is present.
 
I started computing with BASIC... DOS... and Windows followed.
Everage lifetime of these OS's = 7 years... I wonder what and when is
next?

If you mean the average microsoft wetware, after explaining it the
difference between real mode and a dos shell, and convince it of the
advantages of knowing such details, you might have a point there.
Personally I like arachne most of all because of her educational properties
(such as bugs, of course...)

Programs we'll all have to choose for ourselves, but considering worddocs,
feel free to join me on a little quest to convince others of the necessity
to send out info in some other than commercial standard, thus returning all
such mail with a request to convert to RTF or HTML. (although I must admit
that for me too, having some converter installed is a matter of survival in
this town. If I'm not mistaken some doc2txt for dos has already been
discussed, together with the pdf2txt converter)

I'm tired of climbing through WINDOWS. 

I'm rather be walking through DOORS.

Desktop Oriented, Optimized Resource Server (or some other silly phrase).

Okay ... I'll go back to bed and dream some more.

Yes, Sam ...

Except that M$ won't even give me copies of Win95 to put in village
schools in developing countries. Rather stupid, considering that a CD-ROM
with Win95, Win98, WinME, and Win200Pro (all on one CD) goes for 5 US
Dollars on the black market.

Even though somebody will probably install Win-doze as soon as I leave
the village, I need to deliver a functional system (with software
included). Considering the environment, that means all freeware, all DOS.
And THAT means Arachne as the HTML Viewer.

So, while you're correct about what is now considered 'legacy-ware',
there also remains a need for a program that only requires DOS to boot
up. If it's possible to keep the DOS and also be compatible with
Win-doze, then I'm still happy. If it's one OR the other, I would vote to
"close the window" and stick with the (legally) free stuff.

Happy Holidays,

Bob Dohse

Bob, I couldn't agree with you more. I don't use Windows myself--
although I may start any day now because of Javascript and secure
transactions on the web.

I'd prefer to just keep using DOS. If Glenn and his helpers can
cram a little more functionality into Arachne we'll all be happy
campers.

So here's a question for everyone: What new features are most
important for Arachne's future development?
