Hi all, I don't seem to have seen any follow-up on this, so I'm wondering if anybody else has discovered how to access the link for PERIOD (or any of the other links on that page):
This is a bit of a case study in why relative links should be used in html rather than absolute links. Somebody uploaded all the content of nemesis.lonestar.org/ to archives.oldskool.org/pub/drivers/Tandy/nemesis.lonestar.org/ but all the links contained within the index.html (or whatever the start page is) are still absolute links to paths off the root of nemesis.lonestar.org/ which of course no longer works... I tried visiting several of the pages (including the one for PERIOD) and they all worked with a little bit of URL rewriting. For instance, the broken link for further info on PERIOD is http://nemesis.lonestar.org/computers/tandy/software/apps/model100/period/index.html but if you just append the path from that to the path of the page you're already on (http://archives.oldskool.org/pub/drivers/Tandy/nemesis.lonestar.org/) you get http://archives.oldskool.org/pub/drivers/Tandy/nemesis.lonestar.org/computers/tandy/software/apps/model100/period/index.html which works perfectly fine. Unfortunately, all the links on the PERIOD page (and, presumably, all his other pages) are also absolute and each of them requires the same tinkering. To make it easy, in case you don't want to dig around and all you want to do is run PERIOD (I did; it's a bit of a hoot), here's the link to the ASCII version of the program (load into your Model T or favourite emulator as a .DO file and then load it to tokenize (I thought I should be able to use this in conjunction with the "Add URL" button in CloudT but met with no success there)): http://archives.oldskool.org/pub/drivers/Tandy/nemesis.lonestar.org/computers/tandy/software/apps/model100/period/per17m.bas He also has an html page with the source code broken down and annotated (http://archives.oldskool.org/pub/drivers/Tandy/nemesis.lonestar.org/computers/tandy/software/apps/model100/period/per17m.html) which explains how the program works and goes into some detail on the struggles he had getting good consistent data on some of the elements to put in the program...
