- Thank you Ed for more useful bug reports. Here are your answers...
-

- problem yacc'ing violaWWW
-
- I don't know. I never compiled it myself... The error is not in gram.y...
- Looks like your cc doesn't understand the "#if" preprocessor directive (ANSI).
- Try gcc instead.

- behavior of ">" and ">>" in line mode browser
-
- Here's a diff on HTBrowse.c to handle this. The line numbers and the
- "the_choice" variable will not correspond to your code because they're
- from the unreleased 1.2e (soon to become 1.3 on ftp...)
-
- *** 1080,1087 ****
-
- command = (char *) malloc(
- strlen(address)+strlen(the_choice)+30);
- ! sprintf(command,
- ! "www -n -na -p \"%s\" %s", address, the_choice);
- result = system(command);
- if (result) printf(" %s returns %d\n", command, result);
- free(command);

- rfc: "gateway"
-
- I see your point. However, the only intention of the WWW_foo_GATEWAY syntax
- is to enable access to protocols not understood by the www client by means
- of a gateway that translates those to/from HTTP/HTML. Ideally, what we need
- to be able to fetch RFCs properly is a naming service, x500 or whatever.
- Your rfc: access is rather an address alias. For that, you could direct it
- to your own HTTP server with WWW_rfc_GATEWAY, and then insert
-
- map rfc: file://ftp.nisc.sri.com/rfc/
-
- in your httpd.conf rule file. But beware that if you start serving HTML
- files with rfc: addresses instead of file://host/rfc, every www client in
- the world will have to set WWW_rfc_GATEWAY.

- WAISGate support for WAIS 'HTML' doc type

- Tim answered this one. As he said, "Great!".
