If anybody downloaded wsarch02.zip from ftp.demon.co.uk, then I'm afraid
you got the previous version due to a mix up at demon. Either go to
ftp.sunet.se or wait 24 hours from the time on this post and things should be
sorted out at demon.

The new wsarch02 file is 159,993 bytes in size and the unzipped wsarchie.exe
is 206064 bytes in size and has a date in it's about box.

Apologies for the inconvienience.

WSARCHIE is calling closesocket with a value of -1. No harm is done far as I
know. I thought I'd gotten rid of it but I haven't. I guess 0.3 will clean
up this!

If you downloaded from ftp.demon.co.uk, you are probably still using the
version released mid-march. This was due to a mix up by the upload
administrator.

To check look in the about dialog and the version
should be 0.2 and the date 30 March 1994 should be present. You should get
better service as this version is less nice! However there seems to be some
problems if your archie server responds too fast, I'm not sure how I'll be
able to replicate that though.

well i'll answer what i can. the ph... good question.. i don't know but i
found that it workd well as a whois/finger for me (just enter the name or
e-mail address and it spits out the info)
- multiple folders (well i use it for diff kins of messages. net
questions/replies,general b.s.,business discussions,etc... i archive each so
if i ever need to go back and find somethig i know where to start looking.
- as for the scroll thingie i have the same prob. can't tell ya why they did
that.
-recipiants and nicknames(why they did it i can't tell you (geez my commen
answer hu?) but i found it useful. i put everyone in it (since i hate
rembering e-mail addresses) then i mark the ones i use alot as recipiants and
the rest are there so if i need to send them e-mail all i have to do is type
the name i gave them and for the commen ones i just highlite their name in the
message to... menu
hope this helps

Subject: HGopher and Temporary Files

Hi,

    I am trying out HGopher 2.4 and I am generally quite pleased.

    However, there seems to be a problem with the deletion of
temporary files.  I have selected in the options menu to delete them
when the viewer exits.  But I noticed that the files (eg. text files viewed
with Notepad) were not deleted after Notepad exited.

    Is this delete-on-viewer-exit option not yet implemented?

    The temporary files were deleted when HGopher exits, though.
