Good evening Mark,

Some e-mail programs don't accept .ZIP or .EXE files, but FireFox does.

just change the extension for that transmission...

copy foo.exe foo.exe.txt

and attach foo.exe.txt to the email and tell the receipient to
remove the .txt extension... i do this all the time with no problems whatsoever ;)

Thanks for the advice. I'll do that if it's an .exe file.


Have a good night,

Holger

Good evening Robert,

I could attach it to you, if I get your e-mail address. It's only 88 kB
as a .ZIP file.

Some e-mail programs don't accept .ZIP or .EXE files, but FireFox does.

Try emailing me at robert.wolfe@robertwolfe.org or here on the BBS
at rwolfe@winserver.org.

OK, I will send you the QF121.ZIP, if that fails, I can rename it with
an extra '.txt' extension.


Have a good night,

Holger

you might have to do it with ZIP and other archive formats, too... it depends on the receiving server and how they are set up...

I may have to do that, since I've heard nothing from Robert yet about
the receipt of the file, I sent in the thursday evening.

Oh wait, I haven't checked my e-mail!
With WiFi I have to switch it on.

Later:

The file didn't pass with the .ZIP extension, so I added .txt to the
name of the attached file and forwarded my message con attachment to
Robert's second address today.

Good evening Robert,

Does anyone ha a pointer to a set of DECENT
instructions as to how to go about accomplishing this task?

There is a very nice program named 'QF121.ZIP'. That's the latest

It unpacks the different diskette images from the CD to the HD, an
works from there. I have used that on several occasions/machines.

Is your board accessible via telnet? If so, I will drop by an ge
it from there. If not, I will try Hobbes.

I could attach it to you, if I get your e-mail address. It's only 88
as a .ZIP file.

I have sent the program twice to you, attached to an e-mail.

First to your address @robertwolfe.org from where it bounced back with a message about banned contents. That was with a pure QF121.ZIP file.

Once I got the error message, I added '.txt' to the attached file name,
and forwarded it to your @winserver.org address.

Haven't read/heard a thing after that.

I can resend it to this third address: @centurylink.net.

When/if you receive the attached file, please let me know here, that you
have received it, because my internet connection is by WiFi, and it's
not on all the time.


Have a good night,

Holger

IIRC I did send you that program, twice becayse the transfer of the
compressed file failed to the first address.

Then came the accident with the broken leg, and I have been absent since
jan 3rd.

As for PPE's, I should have a decent listing of what was, and maybe
still is, available, if I just can find it.

There is source for PPE's at sourceforge.net I think.

As for the PPE's I use, I don't recall ever having paid for them.

BTW, I don't recall ever having read in the PCB manual v15.2 how to use
PPE's only that it was possible to create such with supplied compiler.


Have a nice day,

Holger

manual.
