 HTML was doing fairly well until Microsoft and Netscape screwed it up -
 as soon as you get commercial interest, you get splits in the standard.
 Netscape added some screwey frames support, and Microsoft added
 scrolling text and fonts.

That is why i use Opera :) If your page looks good on opera than you can be
quite sure that both Netrape and Exploder will screw things up.

Has anyone had any dealings with Persona in the last couple of months?  I
ordered some software 6 weeks ago and still haven't received anything.  I've
also tried mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED], but haven't heard anything back
from there either.

Yes, but using Opera is something akin to self-flagellation.

Mhh ... ^_^

But seriously, I love those buttons wich switch colors to standard ones and
remove backgrounds. Or with one click you switch off all the images, quite
usefull when someone has more than 750k worth of pictures on his frontpage.

Opera is a small, rather fast and simple browser and nothing more, that is
what i like about it. 

To move back on a sort of Sam related topic, Martijn has finished another
version of his Spectrum emulator (you know harddisc, CD-rom etc.), and has
made a Atom-compatible version of Stefan Drissens mod-player wich i am
currently testing. And we started somehow working on a rather naughty demo
:)

I should put those on my soon (that could take another month or two) to be
announced new website, really :)

The Lyra III doesn't work

1999-05-27 Thread Aley Keprt

The Lyra III from NVG doesn't work.

Can somebody put there a working version?

The problem is that lyra3.dsk.gz file is
either not a GZip file
or contains neither DSK nor Tar file.

Soory about that, it looks like macgzip burped[1] when I uploaded the
original file... I'll put a new copy in the incoming directory.

[1] It includes a short header before the file, with filetype/resource data
in it, which in incompatible with anything except MacOS. I keep telling it
not to do that

I really want a free browser, written by people who care about it's

Tried any mozilla milestones? They are surprisingly good. Significantly
more memory friendly that Netscape 4.5. Looks like 5.0 will be a quite
good piece of work.

Getting those encrypted games in a SIM Coupe-able format

1999-05-27 Thread Thomas Harte
Hi,

My brand new copy of SAM Elite is sitting mostly unplayed due to the
continuing deterioration of my SAM power supply and so on. The disk uses
some crazy format, so neither samdisk (the useless gives up on bad
sectors or the DJGPP does all sectors but crashes in dos boxes versions)
type program will convert it.

It has been brought to my attention that such games can be converted
for .dsk-able use, so I am wondering if anyone has SAM Elite (just to
make entirely clear : the game, not the silly cut down computer) as a
usable .dsk and is willing to send it to me? I can take a picture of the
box and disk next to the date on a newspaper or something and scan that
to prove I own it if they want. I'm really not a pirate. No matter what
David Ledbury says!

-Thomas

Or you could download a copy of the spectrum 48k version, which is
basically the same thing

 HTML was doing fairly well until Microsoft and Netscape screwed it up -

 Netscape added some screwey frames support, and Microsoft added
 scrolling text and fonts.


We also added XML, XSL and CSS.

To be completely accurate, we invented them and gave them to the W3C as an 
open spec.


So, please, don't lump us in with the Other Browser. At least we've publicly 
apologized for the MARQUEE tag. Netscape haven't for BLINK, CENTER, LAYER, 
etc etc etc. They have a bastardized version of java in their VM - even much 
more so than MS's JVM (which is only missing RMI); at least we didn't change 
the semantics of how the core packages work! They have JavaScript, which is 
a bastardized version of ECMAScript that they won't fix.


Sheesh
