Hello Folks....
It seems that there is the tiniest problem in on our friend Arachne 1.60
SR. Port address are apparently stored as a 16 bit _signed_ ints so that
port addresses with a value above 32767 appear as a negative number.
This address actually uses port 60000 and should read:
http://www.knjizara.com:60000/forum/
But Arachne asks for this:
http://www.knjizara.com:-5536/forum/
^^^^^
Trying to manually edit the port address doesn't work, she still
requests port -5536.
Just for fun:
unsigned binary: 1110 1010 0110 0000 = 60000 decimal
signed binary: 1110 1010 0110 0000 = -5536 decimal
I suspect this is just an oversight unless the same variable is used
within arachne for something else where the sign bit is required.
Still love this program though.......BTW it doesn't appear to be a new
problem as 1.60b1 does the same thing. I haven't tried any older
version.
Take care.....
Jim
