Are you sure the ftp site you listed is valid?  My DNS can't find the
hostname entry and therefore I can't connect.

Would you also care to elaborate on (at least part of) the path to wsirc12.zip?

Thanks,

Subject: New PD Telnet and FTP for Winsock

Hello all, I am new to the Internet, and even newer to programming Internet
clients, but after a few weeks fumbling around with the horrible Telnet
clients I've seen for winsock, I've gone ahead and written my own using Visual
Basic and Distinct's excellent winsock VBX. So far I have implemented the
following:
     * Automatic Sizing of telnet font based on window size
     * Variable size split screen Terminal/Chat window with split bar
     * Terminal scrollback >20K
     * Telnet address book supporting unlimited addresses with
          - name
          - host name/address
          - port
          - comments
     * custom font, size and attributes for the chat window
     * saves window position and size for all windows
     * all information in private .INI file for easy editing in or
       out of the software
Features I'll finish tomorrow:
     * preferences for controlling in-bound and out-bound CR/LF
     * re-send lines from chat window (command history)
     * custom foreground/background colors for terminal and chat windows
     * custom font for terminal window
     * terminal font size on/off
     * dockable buttonbar for storing macros (typing macros that is)
Features I won't have ready before the first release (planned for Friday):
     * VT-100 or any other emulation other than tty

Why I'm typing this here is so if other people who call MUDs or use Telnet for
a lot of work, and who have some clue as to what features would be nice, could
please tell me what they want in a Telnet client. I'm open to any and all
suggestions.

I plan on releasing the compiled program and all Visual Basic source on
Friday. But where should I put it? What sites will allow me to upload a file
for winsock users?

In addition, while WS_FTP is a great, solid program, it's interface is boring,
so I'm writing a NeXT-like FTP client with multiple windows and viewing modes
for faster and easier navigation of FTP sites. For those of you familiar with
the NeXT, I think you'll agree it is an excellent starting point. For others,
what features are missing from your ideal FTP clent?

Thanks for the feedback. You can also mail me at [e-mail].
I'll be back to report on progress soon.
     Chris

Subject: DNR Problems w/WfWG but not Trumpet

Hello,

I have found that Windows for Workgroups (WfWG) does not resolve names as well
as Trumpet. Some hard to reach names like www.stir.ac.uk can always be reached
by Trumpet but not by WfWG. I there some WfWG DNR config I could change to
make DNR work better?

Thank You,
Dennis Faucher

Subject: NFS client/server sought...

If anyone knows of a NFS client for windows/winsock that might also possibly
be compatible with WinNT please post the FTP site address here or mail me, as
I am trying to find a shareware package of such software.  I would appriciate
it very much, and many thank you's in advance.

Subject: NEC Versa Laptop, NEC Xircom card, Tcpman

Hi, all.

Has anyone figured out how to get NEC's cefcg.exe & cepd.com packet driver
working with winpkt & tcpman? I have the 10baseT NEC/Xircom ethernet PCMCIA
card, and I can't get the packet driver & tcpman talking. Tcpman SLIP talk
just fine, but not the card.

Thanks,
--Doug

I stopped using Cello beacause it flashed on my screen at an annoying rate.
I prefer Mosaic.  But I'm still using 2.2.  The 32 bit versions are too bulky
and slow on my system.  I'm happy.  So as long as I only use win32s
occasionally I'll stick with the old Mosaic.

This is nice idea. But you can't use 32-bit disk access if you have some
drives created by subst.
