It compiles with a small tweak to the Makefile and removal of
the stupid sys_errlist[] declaration in one of the .c files.
Seems to work fine, so far.

There is that. Actually, I'm considering downloading the source of the
web board software that's being used and doing a hatchet job of a code
review on it. Maybe it'll surprise me and be well written...

Running the page thru an HTML validator is an interesting experience.



And, yes, towards the end it says: 

Line 146, character 111: 
... ogramming All Rights Reserved
 ^
Error: end tag for TABLE omitted; possible causes include a missing end tag,
improper nesting of elements, or use of an element where it is not allowed

Which will cause all of the table to be invisible in Netscape.

Yeah. It doesn't work at all in Netscape. Works in IE tho'. That generally
means that the tables are broken somewhere along the line.

Have to be honest and didn't bother finding out. One of the first things I did
was install the port of Postfix which completely replaced sendmail. Then I 
just copied across my config file :-)

I think some of sendmail's problems are to do with getting Netinfo set-up
properly, but I'm not sure abd could be talking out of somewhere fundemental.

I have installed mutt, but just can't warm to it. I like nmh, and using 
the Mail::Box family of modules, I'll rewrite those tools in Perl 
(sometime this summer, where there will be SpareTime). Until then, Mac 
Mail seems to do.

It seems like a good opportunity to question taking the availability of 
a lot of things as a given. For example, nmh. And graphviz - just can't 
get it to work, and not just because of fonts. Or sendmail - I haven't 
really used it much, just to route my personal mail; but  if certain 
basic tools were available in Perl, they'd run wherever Perl runs.

Ah, independence.

But they *are* only children. ("Chris" claims to be 13 and I bet the others

Far more interesting is that Castro claims that the "profiles" are copyright
