I've been using the Trumpet News Reader for Windows (wt_wsk.exe) for about a
month now.  Although I've had a few problems, nothing really strange happened
until today.  I loaded the reader to find that my "extract" button was
missing.  I tried re-running everything, but got nothing until I unzipped
another copy of the file into my directory.  So now I have my extract button
again.  What happened?  Is this a demo program that blocks out certain
functions after a certain period of time?  I didn't see any such indications
(ie, address for registration, etc.).  Forgive my naivete, but am I missing
something?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Need a Windows PPP (not slip) connector for Winsock

Howdy all

Im in search of a Windows based PPP conector (like Trumpet Winsock) that will
interface with all the winsock based apps.

Im currently using Trumpet Winsock with all my apps but I have access to a dedicated
PPP line and Id rather use that. (Also I really dont want to mess with packet
drivers) :)


Thanks
Brian

Under the "Article" menu, either "Skip" or "Toggle" will mark an article as
read without reading it.   "Toggle" will also let you mark an article as
unread after you have read it.

I can't find any searching capability either.

It DOES have a problem with Mosaic 2.0a3 and 2.0a4, I use Mosaic 2.0a2
with the MS TCP/IP-32 (Daytona) stack and its been working great. This
is especially true since I deleted the Lview31 viewer (which NCSA
distributes and recommends) - it turned out to be causing almost ALL
my GPF's, but made it look like it was Mosaic's fault. Microsoft is aware
of the problem with Mosaic 2.0a3, and working on a solution. My guess is
that it will be fixed soon. As a general suggestion, download a copy of
WS_FTP - the author, John Junod, has a GREAT list of most of the
GOOD anonymous FTP sites in the default ini file that comes with it.

Its available to ANYONE, and only requires that you already have WFW 3.11.
You become a "registered" beta user (tester) by the act of downloading it
and installing. We get great freeware, they get free testing -AWESOME
concept. I've been using it since the March beta first appeared, and I like
it A LOT. There is now a beta 2 release MS TCP/IP-32 (Daytona) in the
self-extracting archive file mtcpb2.exe. The directory path is the biggest
hassle with getting it:  /peropsys/WFW/tcpip/vxdbeta.
Good Luck
Doug
