-
- Known Bugs
-
- - The Toolbook list box can't seem to handle more
- than 130 lines(?). Therefore, if you turn to a
- Gopher page that has more than 125 items, you are
- warned that only 125 will be received. Doesn't
- seem like you would want Gopher pages with that
- many items anyway, ie we lose our simplicity!
-
- - Actually drawing the items on the screen is
- SLOW! If you notice, the mouse cursor turns from
- a black hole to an hour glass. The hole represents
- network activity, the hourglass local activity.
- Its interesting to note that most of the time, the
- network activity is much faster than the local. Hmmm.
-
- Bug fixes
- - "Calls nested too deep..." message. This was caused
- by users double-clicking to open the book (or to
- flip back a page) instead of single-clicking. Users now
- HAVE to double-click, which makes more sense in the
- Windows world anyway.
-
- - WAIS databases without selector strings were not
- being queried correctly and most times died with a
- General Protection Fault. The correct selector string
- should be sent now.
-
- - The telnet application (as specified in the Options/Configure
- dialog box) was being passed bad parameters.
-
- Future Stuff
-
- - More useful bookmarking scheme. Suggestions?
