- It was on the night of 14-Jan-98, when no creatures were stirring, and all was
- silent. Suddenly, Troy jumped out from behind a rock and wouldnt stop shouting
- about "Re: HTTP digest" until I was forced to knock them out:
-
- »-> I've since fixed the problem with the Amiga Browesers. Yes ... It was
- »-> MY FAULT... I read the HTML book wrong. Anyway - I won't upload and
- »-> double the work if you are going to publish in HTML. I only saw text
- »-> files and when downloaded and opened it was very agravating to plow
- »-> through all those headers and such to finaly get to the meat of the
- »-> message. HTMLDigest takes all that out and you just see who it is
- »-> from the date, and subject. If you want to read it - click on the
- »-> link. et volia! no more plowing through tonnes of text.

- Feel free to upload the HTML archives, but all I suggest is you add the month
- AND year in the archive, so in years to come, people wont get mixed up. Oh
- yeah, best place them all in a folder with the Month and year too, as there is
- nothing worse than unpacking an archive into a root drawer, only to discover
- it places them all in no folder of its own, hehehe. Just gonna check your
- archive version...
-
- Ok, back. Dear oh dear, its extremely basic. Why are you using Thor, of all
- things, to make the files? Why not just use AMOS instead of an AREXX script.
-
- First thing I did, was load in the massive HTML file, which still has a lot
- of HTML errors in it I may add, and decided that the file was way too big
- to be using as a digest file anyhow, especilally people to low-spec
- machines (the browser window buffer size would be too great). It did have
- some nice looks on it though, which improved the index.html file layout,
- which serves the user a lott better.
-
- My program will format itself completely different, provide more info
- on-screen, as well as some cute GFX, index files, and other bits and pieces
- to make it look more presentable. I would like to try and put together the
- one for January if thats OK, as I have a copy of all the files anyhow for
- when I post them all to the newsgroup.
-
- If January's test is successfull, I shall convert all the files from the
- last 5 years to the HTML format and upload them. Anyone has any comments or
- suggestions, feel free to contact me.
