How is this any protection at all? I once had a "SB AWE32" sticker on my
machine but that didn't change my SB16 to one ;)
Doing the same in the registry or wherever isn't hard to do.

So, one uses the same key used by someone else (as is the case with almost
all of the pirated programs anyway). Aah, I remember when one turned to
page 45 and found word 4 on the 14th line ;-)

And how can this be checked? I can't see any way that two machines that
aren't connected together in any way will be able to see that the other
already has an installation?
Perhaps it's just me, but this article looks more or less like a
pressrelease from M$ where the author hasn't checked things up with other
sources.

I wasn't aware of the fact that M$ now also was the police in the US? If
this was true then we should all be afraid (especially those on the list
living in the US).

Hello all,
Like I posted some times before I can not connect to the SMPT-server of
GMX via Arachne. POP3-download works fine and a few weeks before
upload also works -know it is dead-. I use an internet by call connection
(Talkline) here in germany. Can anybody help me please ? What are
your thougts, is this a problem with Arachne, GMX or the provider?
With Foxmail, Win3.1 and Trumpet Winsock I also can not connect to
the SMPT-server of GMX (btw. I know about first POP then SMPT).
I tryed Barebone but get no working dialing-script PPP with PAP.

Subject: Re: screwed attachments
One way to assure that a FILE_ID.DIZ will appear as plain text and not be
base64-encoded is to copy it inline to the message. All but the most primitive
text editors can do that. I hardly ever use Arachne/Insight editor.
One e-mail message normally should appear as one file and would reach the
destination computer that way, though some e-mail programs extract the
attachments before the user knows what's going on. Whether an e-mail message or
attachment appears as an icon depends on the recipient's software rather than
anything on the servers. What appears as an icon under Windows or Mac won't
appear that way on a DOS command-line interface.

DosFax PRO (DOS version of Winfax) handles Y2K just fine without manual
manipulation of the year in the scheduler or anywhere else. If you can
find DosFax Pro through any used software source, it _may_ work better
than MTEZ with _some_ modems. However, since DosFax Pro was not
included with faxmodems (DosFax Lite and WinFax Lite were) it will be
harder to find. I believe all the old Delrina (DosFax, WinFax) products
were merged with Datastorm and then the combined company was bought by
Quarterdeck and now Quarterdeck belongs to Symantec. I haven't checked
to see whether you can still get DosFax Pro through Symantec. It may be
worth checking. I wouldn't expect it to be free, however, having
recently checked on Symantec's support for Y2K fixes for Procomm Plus
2.01 (DOS).
Does the MTEZ fax scheduler really fail to work with the year showing as
"100"? My first thought would be that it's a cosmetic thing (as in
Procomm Plus 2.01's phone directory and file directory listings), but
maybe it has an effect in the scheduler.
BTW, QL2FAX (QuickLink Fax II) exhibits the same year behavior as MTEZ
in some of its modules. In the case of QL2FAX, directory browsing for
fax maintenance causes an error (and a program abort) when a file with a
year "00" shows in the directory. QL2FAX was included with many
faxmodems sold in the early 1990s.

DosFax Lite is one of my favorite DOS fax programs. The only problem
with it is that nowadays you can't install it even from an original,
never used, installation disk. During the installation process the
program prompts the user to dial some now non-working number at Delrina
to register his copy. Until it is registered, you can't use it. If
after several attempts you have a problem dialing the non-working number,
then you will be presented with a message suggesting that you call another
non-working number to request a key from a voice operator. Of course
you won't be able to get through to either of these non-working numbers.
The only way I have found to install DosFax Lite is to copy to your
computer all the files from a working installation on another machine.
Then you modify the setup on your machine accordingly. Resorting to
this procedure does not constitute software piracy, IMHO, because the
copyright holders refuse to continue to support this product.
I would gladly send to anyone my key, if but only I could find where it
is embedded and encrypted, and if I could successfully hack it.
If anyone knows how to hack DosFax Lite, please let me know.

<snipped all>
While we are discussing the topic of "screwed attachments" I would like
to ask a question that I've always wanted to ask when I should get a
round tuit. Now I've got one.
Here is my question:
Why don't AOL users know how to handle attachments? It seems that
whenever an AOL user forwards to me some joke as an attachment,
the forwarded message will appear represented by an ikon. I click on
it and behold, there appears another ikon. I click on the new ikon
and it says that it was forwarded before to someone from somebody else.
Then there is yet another ikon, etc., almost ad infinitum, almost like
an infinite regression. Finally I get to the meat of the matter, the
only item of interest, being the "joke-of-the-day", which is already old
and stale by the time it gets around to me, because I've already read
it earlier on some list server I subscribe to.
This business of clicking on attachments containing attachments containing
attachments is like opening an envelope containing an envelope containing
yet another envelope, etc. This is not fun unless it's your birthday and
someone has sent you a birthday card wrapped that way and behold, you find
as a present when you finally get down to the card, a greenback bearing
a nice engraving of Ulysses S. Grant. I can always use some more of those
even though the gentleman is only a most accursed damn Yankee.
So what is wrong with the AOL people? Why don't they forward attachments
that you need to click on only once?

A good point. Maybe I can stick an "Intel Inside" sticker on my

Yes, and they sometimes printed the codes in low contrast color

Well, obviously Microsoft almost certainly did not confiscate
anything, but AFAIK it is up to the holder of the copyright to seek
enforcement of the law, so Microsoft (or any other copyright holder)
would have to work through local authorities to take enforcement
action as well as civil actions against violators.

Sam, you sure hit my hot button! I get a lot of those from my sister
who is on AOL. Not only is their the multiple clicking (same thing in
Pegasus Mail for DOS, BTW) but once you get to the actual attachment,
you have to wade through page after screen page of headers from the
other forwarders and the email addresses that they forwarded it to.
Argh! I guess the email program that AOL uses must handle these
received messages in such a manner that the AOLers don't have to put
up with this, 'cause they sure would not if they had to do this to
see this forwarded junk. It is the bane of my email existence.

Subject: Arachne load error again
Steve, are you still there?
My appologes to those who have lost the interest on this subject.
Steve, if you want we may continue the discussion out of the list.
Your "simple" problem is very interesting me and I would like to bring
it to some logical conclusion.
Well, I've read your emails once again and found a detail that hasn't
attract the attention anybody of us. You wrote:

I beleive NETMASK=0.0.0.0 could be the original reason all of your
following problems. Any negotiations between PPP interfaces with this
NETMASK should be disabled. I don't now exactly how PPP protocol is
working but probably I'm not so far of the truth. I've heared, some ISPs
use the Microsoft's software on their servers (in my region it is right
certainly) and our "big friend" Bill Gates gave instructions for his
programmers to include in authenticating protocols some features
NON-DOCUMENTED anywhere in open papers. When you dial up from any
Windows dialer you have no problems but it may be not right for other
platforms.
OK, to set correct NETMASK you can try
Connection @epppd.exe netmask 255.255.255.0>>PPP.LOG instead of
Connection @epppd.exe >>PPP.LOG
Regards,
Sergei.

As this is _partly_ on-subject, I'll reply to the list.
Since PC-Pine doesn't like Nwcache, but Arachne _does_....

nwcache /u
cd\pc-pine

- ---ara.bat---
nwcache 7670 1024 /lend=on /delay=on

Sam Heywood wrote:
>>While we are discussing the topic of "screwed attachments" I would like
to ask a question that I've always wanted to ask when I should get a
round tuit. Now I've got one.
Here is my question:
Why don't AOL users know how to handle attachments? It seems that
whenever an AOL user forwards to me some joke as an attachment,
the forwarded message will appear represented by an ikon. I click on
it and behold, there appears another ikon. I click on the new ikon
and it says that it was forwarded before to someone from somebody else.
Then there is yet another ikon, etc., almost ad infinitum, almost like
an infinite regression. Finally I get to the meat of the matter, the
only item of interest, being the "joke-of-the-day", which is already old
and stale by the time it gets around to me, because I've already read
it earlier on some list server I subscribe to.
This business of clicking on attachments containing attachments containing
attachments is like opening an envelope containing an envelope containing
yet another envelope, etc. This is not fun unless it's your birthday and
someone has sent you a birthday card wrapped that way and behold, you find
as a present when you finally get down to the card, a greenback bearing
a nice engraving of Ulysses S. Grant. I can always use some more of those
even though the gentleman is only a most accursed damn Yankee.
So what is wrong with the AOL people? Why don't they forward attachments
that you need to click on only once?<<
Sam,
This is not restricted to AOL subscribers. This is due to people that
receive a message (usually a joke) and forward it on to others, but do not
strip out the headers and other extraneous material that the umpteen previous
reciprients also did not strip out.
