I don't know what the differences between NCSA FTP and
ARPANET FTP are, but the latter has a command "reget" which goes like
this:
reget remote-file [local-file]
Reget acts like get, except that if local-file exists
and is
smaller than remote-file, local-file is presumed to be
a par-
tially transferred copy of remote-file and the transfer
is
continued from the apparent point of failure. This
command
is useful when transferring very large files over
networks
that are prone to dropping connections.
If that doesn't work in the NCSA, then see below for
what the server sees from the reget command:
Jan 26 23:49:13 localhost ftpd[3376]: FTP LOGIN FROM localhost
[127.0.0.1]
Jan 26 23:49:13 localhost ftpd[3376]: SYST
Jan 26 23:49:16 localhost ftpd[3376]: PORT
Jan 26 23:49:16 localhost ftpd[3376]: LIST
Jan 26 23:49:25 localhost ftpd[3376]: TYPE Image
Jan 26 23:49:25 localhost ftpd[3376]: PORT
Jan 26 23:49:25 localhost ftpd[3376]: RETR windows.jpg
I did a ^C here to interupt transfer. And what's
below is apparently what the "reget" sent.
Jan 26 23:49:34 localhost ftpd[3376]: PORT
Jan 26 23:49:34 localhost ftpd[3376]: REST 0

Take a look at LXPIC v6.3 http://home.t-online.de/home/stefan.peichl/
a small (size of exe :15K!) yet powerful viewer of JPG, GIF, PCX
and BMP files
From the docs : "
LxPic is a very fast, powerful and small DOS picture viewer.
It has just 16KB code and runs in 64KB memory on any 8086
compatible computer to decode and view pictures of any size.
This makes LxPic ideal for use on the HP Palmtop, for which
it was originally designed. On Windows systems, LxPic runs
perfectly in a full screen DOS box or in a DOS box window.
LxPic processes BMP, PCX, JPG and GIF files of any kind.
BMP and PCX files may have 2, 4, 256 or True Colors (16 Mio).
JPG files may have 256 gray scales or True Colors. GIF files
may have Version 87a or 89a (including multi images) with up
to 256 colors.
"
Here is something VERY interesting in the docs as well
"
LxPic has an internal interface for use with other programming
languages or batch files. This interface allows you to place
pictures at a desired position in an already filled application
screen. You may select whether you want to gain back control
immediately after the picture has been placed on the screen, or
whether you want to pass intermediate control to LxPic and get
back control when the ESC key of LxPic is pressed. The appli-
cation may then write around or even into the picture. Multiple
pictures may be positioned or overlayed on one screen. If you
want to put more than one color picture on a color screen, all
pictures should use the same color palette, otherwise only the
colors of the last drawn picture are correct.
"
How about it Michael? Think something like this could be
incorporated into Arachne? Lxpic is copyrighted freeware,
so you would have to get his permission to include Lxpic
in Arachne. It sounds good since you don't have to convert the
JPG to BMP just call Lxpic to put the image on the screen.

Ok, so maybe I simply don't understand it . I wrote incorrectly "pure
ASM". I meant "heavily optimized C with lot of ASM stuff".

The problem is that namely HTML rendeing is very complicated and my
knowledge of ASM is poor. But to start, someone may wish to write some
kind of ultra fast HTML tag analysis (I am currently doing switch based on
first letter, and then multiple strcmp() - but maybe it would be faster to
use some hash table or lexical analysing automat), and fast - and netscape
copmatible - analysis HTML tag arguments.

So I think I will keep current virtual screens with software scrolling.
(I am sure there must be way to accelerate it, as there are pretty fast
demos which use same modes as Arachne...).

If anybody is interested I have some serious CMOS utilities that can be
run from a floppy. CMOSSAVE: saves your CMOS setup data to a file,
, CMOSCHEK: checks your CMOS with the file, CMOSREST: restores the data
from the file. On the same floppy I have a lot of hard drive utilities too,
mostly for Seagate and Winchester drives. You drive can be identified and
matched with the best type available from your drive table. Low level
formatting and a lot of diagnostic utilities including finding your best
interleave.
It's not doing me much good right now. there's something wrong with my
system. First I couldn't access hard drive 0, then I could only access
drive 1 sporadically when I booted off a floppy. Then it identified it
as C: drive. Now it won't let me access any of my drives at all. I've
tried three different IO controller cards so far A Compaq FDD, HDD,
serial and LPT card is what I was originally using. Then I tried an
AccuLogic sIDE 4/PLUS HDD, FDD, LPT, 2 COMs and game port card. Now I'm
getting desperate and I tried a JCC made in China, HDD and FD. The only
other cards I have left in my collection is a Acculogic sIDE-1, HDD,
with either a made in Taiwan R.O.C, FDD, for up to 4 floppies or a
Suntec FDC-400, FDD. I don't have much hope for any of them.
I think something is wrong with my CMOS. I finally just checked my
battery. It reads 3.6 volts on my multimeter. I think it's supposed to
be 6 volts isn't it? It looks like I probably need a new battery. Now
where can I find one of those? CompUSA says they can order me one. I
hope the right one. It's a simple plug in to the socket on the main
board. With my luck I'll probable have to make the thing up myself. Good
thing I have a lot of spare parts from my failed business. Sorry if I
meandered off subject a bit. If anybody hads any suggestions, I'd be
glad to hear them. I better quite typing I can't see my keyboard through
all the IO boards I have stacked up around it right now.

Better than that... My father-in-law has managed the basics: he's worked
out how to use the system for e-mail and internet (I configured the whole
thing for them and found them an ISP). Their problems are with harder
things: printing, storing mail and files away from %temp%, that sort of
thing. Most arachnoids know this through DOS, but my in-laws don't of
course.

Docs are quite good, but they are mostly about installing and configuring
the connection. For anybody used to computers, everything else is
self-explanatory". Of course my family didn't need to configure, so the
docs didn't help them. They made things even more confusing when my father
in law tried to read them.

Would be a good idea, but... I set the %temp% on a RAM drive! The
problem of course is that if you switch the computer off you lose the
contents of %temp%. One thing they do very often is view pictures e-mailed
by their family. Problem with saving, you switch off the computer...
Picture is gone.

Haven't had that problem. Is that specific to 1.6beta? I install 1.5

Done that and it helps. In fact they aren't too perturbed by having to
learn something. It's not knowing where to start, not having the
necessary information that is the problem.

It's a gift out of the garbage can of a second-hand computerstore
but so far working. (remember: the price for cards like these was about 400$
years ago). The sad thing is that it needs its win31x software for the
graber stuff and ATI is not willing to give me any support.

I also searched the net but whitout any success.
