- > OK, I still have to get the daemon running, but I should have that next
- > week. You can then add us to the list of stuff available in W3. Details are:
-
- <DT><a name=??? href=http:curia.ucc.ie//usr/local/lib/WWW/CURIA_menu.html>The
- CURIA Project
- <DD>Browseable Irish manuscripts from the Royal Irish Academy and University
- College Cork.
-
- (BTW You can omit name==??? -- you don't need a name unless you
- want to refer TO the anchor.)
-
- I think you mean http://curia.ucc.ie/usr/local/lib/WWW/CURIA_menu.html
- the souble slash introduced the host.
-
- We are still waiting reverse IP registration, so currently I guess we are
- only accessible as 143.239.1.8
-
- Ok, http://143.239.1.8/usr/local/lib/WWW/CURIA_menu.html
- will have to do for now. Let me know when it's up. A few tips.
-
- Please run the server on port 80 as new software will default
- to this official IANA port number. In the mean time quote it
- as http://143.239.1.8:80/usr/local/lib/WWW/CURIA_menu.html
- to be safe.
-
- In the configuration file, you can put a map line
- map / /usr/local/lib/WWW/CURIA_menu.html
- so that someone accessing http://143.239.1.8:80/ will
- get something useful about the site. You have to make
- all the refernces in that document absolute, as it will
- appear in two places in the web.
-
- At the moment there's just one or two pages of test stuff, but this is
- defined in a status report which I will keep up to date as part of the
- documentation. We have nearly finished scanning vol 1 of the _Annals of
- the Four Masters_ and the _Chronicon Scotorum_ so we'll be editing them into
- shape in the next month or so. As I won't be at JENC, I want to try hard
- to get a useable chapter or two up and browseable by then.
-
- Sounds great! Admitedly the Irish might be understandable by
- a limite audience, but it will be available to gaelic
- academia worldwide. (Are you putting up parallel translations?)
-
- I fudged the five lowercase accent-aigu vowels into HTML.c as you suggested.
-
- Great -- can you send me the list and I'll incorporate it
- into all the sources. We should put in all the European set
- of characters in fact.
-
- It works fine for the sun-cmd X shell window, but when I replaced them with
- the five char codes for the IBM PC, and then access it over telne from
- my PC logged into my VAX, something somewhere en route is mapping the
- 8-bit chars into 7-bit, so an acute-a (decimal 160) ends up as a space
- and an acute-e as a double-quote (whoops, sorry, acute-a comes out as
- an @-sign). This is not WWW code, but either the sun terminfo/termcap
- being intrusive or something in the comms side. It's going to be a major
- headache to get it sorted...all help welcome.
-
- If someone en route is killing the 8th bit, then you are stuck.
- The best thing then seems to be to run WWW on the PC directly.
- In fact some of the PC graphic characters are in non-graphic
- psoitions of the table (0X, 1X, 8X, 9X hex), so telnet is
- likely to have trouble anyway.
- There's a port done for SUN/NFS: what type of TCP/IP for
- the PC do you use?
-
- Have a nice weekend!
