Microsoft Internet explorer, since it seems to be the stable browser at the
moment. I was worried about my word wrap.

My experience using MSIE with Backtalk was that it tended to mess
up word wrap. Netscape, on the other hand, does not. So I've
switched to Netscape.
(The "stability" of MSIE is debatable, but that's material for
another item.)

Wow, the word wrap *is* hideous. My dialin program was indeed set wrong,
thanks for the advice.
MSIE is stable on my computer, that's all that counts.

Would it be possible to make backtalk do the wordwrap itself, if the browser
won't do it. I know the browser should do it, but MSIE is really too popular
a browser to just ignore, no matter how bad a browser it may be.

The only way I know of to enforce word-wrap from backtalk would be to
have it surround everything with the pre tag, which would be fairly
unattractive unless you're a big fan of the Courier font.. basically
you'd be making it moderately ugly for everyone to avoid making it
*really* ugly for those users whose broken software is the culprit.

Backtalk already surrounds responses with the <pre> tag. (I just
looked at the html source.)

Right. I think the MSIE/Backtalk word wrap problem is that when
you type text into the form entry box and let MSIE do the word
wrap for you, MSIE isn't passing the line breaks over to
Backtalk when the form is submitted. Netscape, on the other
hand, does it right.

I think that's true as well. My sister has problems with nontranslated word
wrap.

in backtalk's vanilla i/f for registered users, there is a spelling
mistake: one of the choices it shows at the end of a new response is
"Postpone responding and contine reading"
^^^^^^^

I fixed the typo. It was in vanilla/read in the scripts.
There is already code in the backtalk engine to wrap lines.
The pistachio scripts don't invoke it. I am not sure whether
this makes sense given the amount of trouble we have had with MSIE.
I usually let Jan tweak Pistachio, though.

When I just dialed into GREX, I was presented a pine menu,
then was able to get into bbs. Joining auction, I appear to be
quark.

That happened to me once, it appeared that I had dialed into raven's login.
I contacted staff ab out it, and relogged in as myself. I'm still not very
good about disconnecting, though.

I recently (in the last couple of days) got disconnected without logging out.
It's possible that Grex crashed, however ... I started elm, it read in my
first 3 messages & then just hung there for several minutes before
disconnecting.

there appears to be a Backtalk problem, where it is going to the wrong host
for the images. Did the backtalk config file get backed up?
I should correct this, but I am too tired, and need to go to bed.

yes, the grex logo (http://graphics-www.grex.org/grex/grexweb2.gif) is
not getting displayed on the conference home pages. netscape is unable
to find the server.

Oh, graphics-www was an alias for my work station at work, from when the place
where Grex was storing its images was down. I took it out of Grex's DNS a
few days ago, thinking that Grex had long since stopped using it, and
wondering why I was still getting so many hits.

Is Backtalk's graphics stuff fixed yet? I could put graphics-www back into
the DNS, but I kind of hesitate to do that since as long as Backtalk seems
to be working it will probably take a long time before somebody gets around
to fixing it the right way.
