It sounds all too familiar to me too, Ron. :(
Glenn:
I have tried using "outside DNS's" too, but only as an experiment
to see if I can. Yes, I can. I don't know why I can. I don't know
why an "outside DNS" would even allow let my use of it since I am not
a paid or a signed up subscriber for its services. I don't know why
they would let me use their services for free unless they would
benefit somehow by advertising or by spamming or by identity theft or
by my creating new back roads for them to travel on or new back doors
for them to enter. Are there any known dangers of using "outside DNS's"?
How does one know in advance which "outside DNS's" would work for him
and which ones won't. Is there a web page somewhere that provides a
listing of "outside DNS's" which throw out the welcome mat for everybody?
Another question:
In using DOS for doing the internet, how would one know when somebody
is trying to break into his back door? What would be the symptoms?
Are there some good burglar alarm systems for DOS, and perhaps some that
are already built in and requiring no additional software? Also, is
there any known spyware that works under DOS? Spyware is the software
that peeks into your activities and lets unauthorized personnel find out
about all your little secrets like your credit card numbers and passwords
and your private suspicions about what the government is doing. Spyware
is supplied for free with all modern Windows operating systems. It sure
is nice that nobody has to pay for it. People just have to pay for all
of the other crap that comes with Windows.
One thing that I believe about DOS systems is that there is no way that
a DOS system could automagically grab my private data and insert it
into an email which it automagically writes and sends to a mailing list
of hundreds of people I don't even know, and all this happening under
some background processes that I don't even know about and that I might
not ever find out about. Most people like to run an alternative
operating system known as Windows, which is very well supplied with
features that are very well known for doing things like that. I have no
idea why that alternative operating system is so popular.
Oh, and BTW, another very nice feature of DOS is that whenever you are
running DOS you will never see your hard drive being accessed at times
and at apparently random intervals when you cannot figure out why.
I have a big problem when running Windows about seeing my hard drive
being accessed under circumstances when I cannot figure out why. Most
all other people see this kind of thing happening too when they are
running Windows, but most people don't even understand why this kind
of activity just *might* be a symptom of a very serious problem.
If I were using Windows there probably would be no symptoms at all
of back door attacks because Windows is an operating system especially
designed for facilitating back door entry and for very cleverly masking
the symptoms of an attack and for providing very deep cover for spies.
In Windows unexplainable hard drive activity is considered "normal".
Professional spies are very well trained in noting what is considered
normal. They take advantage of their knowledge of what is considered
normal activity to employ in a ruse to get in and to copy a document,
or to plant a bomb, and and then to get out without anyone ever
noticing that something that is not normal has ocurred. When one
leaves the Windows open all the bugs fly in. Some of the most pesky
bugs of all are the "no-see-ums" because they are so small that
they can easily pass through some very fine screens. After a while
some of the very small stuff can easily become a major annoyance.

Subject: Re: Question about apparent denial of se
I use the "alternative operating system," Windows, only on rare occasions,
like when I *have to* access a site that uses javascript or when a secure
connection is necessary. However, I never know if it will boot, or I will
get an error message, one of which is, "Explorer has performed an illegal
operation and will be shut down." <CTRL-ALT-DEL> will give a list of "open"
files that have to be "ended." Highlight one, and click on "End Task," and
another dialog box pops up saying that the program had not ended and asks
again if you want to "end task." This has to be done for each of the files
in the "open files" list, which requires <CTRL-ALT-DEL> each time until all
of the files have been "ended" and "Explorer" is the only file left.
Another error message is that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@" has performed an illegal operation
and the machine has to be restarted.
I guess that Windoze users finally accept these things as "normal," just like
we Arachne users accept javascript and secure connection problems as being
"normal" with Arachne.
BTW, I saw in the paper this morning that M$ announced a major security hole
in their Windows 2003 OS.

Subject: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6900 DM
GOOD DAY TO YOU,
I am DR.WALKER ADAMS an auditor in Citi
bank of nigeria,Lagos branch.I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you as a result
of what we presently have at hand.On june,2002,an
american consultant/contractor with the Nigerian
national petroleum corporation,Mr Ron Denis made a
numbered time (fixed)deposit for twenty-four calender
months,valued USD$12,400,000.00 (twelve million four
hundred thousand dollars} in my branch.
Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification to his
forwarding adress but got no reply.After a month,we
sent a reminder and finally,we discovered from his
contract employers,the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation
that Mr Ron Denis died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation,i found out that he died
without making a (WILL),and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr Ron Denis did not
declare any next of kin or relations in all official
documents,including his bank deposite paper work in my
bank.
This sum of USD$12,400,000,00 is still sitting in my
bank and the interest is beign rolled over with his
principal sum at the end of each year.No one will ever
come forward to claim it.According to the Nigerian
law,at the experation of five years,the money will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if
nobody applies to claim the fund.Consequently,my
proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr Ron Denis so that
the fruites of this old man's labour will not get into
the hands of some corrupt Government officials.
This is simple,i will like you to send, immedietelly
your full names and address so that the attorney will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,which
will put you in place as the next of kin.We will
employ the service of two attornies for drafting and
notarization of the (WILL),and to obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your
favour of USD12.4 Million for the transfer.
We would need you as a foreigner acting as the next of
kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Mr Ron
Denis TO CLAIM THESE FUNDS .The money will be paid to
you for us to share in the ratio of (60% OF US$12.4M)
for me and (40% of US$12.4M)for you,however,i will
take care of all the responsibilities here to make
sure you recieve the money.I want you to give me some
kind of assurance that after the completion of
arrangement,you shall keep my own 60% as we agreed.
NOTE; There is no risk or failure at all because the
transaction,will be done by the attorney my"position"
as the branch manager guarantees the 100% succesful
execution of this particular transaction.If you are
interested,please reply immediately through my private
e-mail.Upon your response,i shall then provide you my
identity card with more details and documents that
will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest
assured that this transaction will be most profitable
for both of us because i shall require your assistance
to invest my own share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply through my personal e-mail
address only ,as soon as i recieve your reply my
confidential telephone number shall be given to you.
Thanks and regards,
DR WALKER ADAMS

Let's wait for Michael's response...
In the meantime: what is needed to build Arachne from sources?
I seem to remember that I heard about Borland C++ 3.1.
I have only TC++ 1.01 (free from Borland's museum) and
OpenWatcom 1.0 (not counting gcc which cannot produce real-mode
executables). Is BC++ 3.1 _for_DOS_ available for free somewhere?
I know about some Borland's compilers being available, but in
Windows command-line versions only.

Fox news this afternoon said that there is a "crack in the windows",
their words. Then they went on to say that M$ had announced that
there is a major security hole in *all* versions of their operating
system, and that the problem has existed for a very long time.
They say that the problem can be fixed simply by going to the M$ site
and downloading and installing their latest security patch. That is
a very old joke. Micro$oft keeps telling that one because some
people still laugh every time they hear it. It sure is funny, isn't it?
BTW, does Micro$oft still have to continue to provide support in the
way of offering downloadable security patches for old versions of
Window$ such as Window$ 95 and Window$ 98? If not, I think some court
should order them to do so.

Things like that happen to me every now and then when I try
to send an email to an email address at what I believe to be
a valid destination domain.
Sometimes a valid destination domain will temporarily go down
and it will become a non-valid destination domain during the
time while it is down.
Usually I can try to send my message again sometime later and it
will get through. "Sometime later" could be after a few minutes or
after a few weeks or after the twelfth of never. I hope you didn't
have to wait very long.

Hi Geoff,
there are different kinds of cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian
etc.). Russian IBM codepage used to be PC-866.
Your laser printer will possibly have internal fonts. Check for
PC-866 or Windows CP-1251 (=ISO-8859-5) I could provide you
downloadable fonts Times and Helevetica for HP Laserjet 4 or 5 that
you send to the printer only once and that can be switched on by an
escape code sequence that means in the same way as an internal font
is selected.
Your mime.cfg contains a line:
file/printprn.dgi |[100]type _4prt.txt>PRN
You need to modify it a bit (everything on one line)
file/printprn.dgi |@copy /b printer.ini PRN>nul\n
type _4prt.txt>PRN
The file printer.ini must contain the escape sequence that
selects the appropriate Russian font. If the internal or downloaded
font supports a different charset you will have to insert some
translation program as a filter into the mime.cfg line, eg.:
file/printprn.dgi |@copy /b printer.ini PRN>nul\n
@transl.exe _4prt.txt >PRN
