Thanks David, I thought I had set it to accept v1 connections but I'll double
check.
I know about /#197, but r 4.197 is more efficient and shoudl be trivial to
implement.

Even if you're not using a pager, you can do
r 4 nor ... and then
197

I've put "r 4.197" on my TODO list for Fronttalk ... which doesn't mean that
it will get implemented soon. The main problem with it is that that syntax
is kind of tricky to merge into the general item selector syntax. Do we also
allow:
r 4.197,7.10,15.0 (that's clear enough)
r 1-3.197 (what does that mean?)
r 4.197-11.18 (uh)
r 4.197-198 (is that a response range or a bad dream?)
r 4.197 new (does that show new responses after 197?)
r 4.197 nor (could differ from 'r 4 nor' in setting current resp)
Does this make any sense on any of the other commands that take item ranges?
Browse, forget? Probably not. Fix? Perhaps.

There's also the issue of whether "r 4.197" means to read only that response,
or to read starting with that response. (Personally, I'd argue for "only",
with the syntax "r 4.197-" to mean "starting with". But this just expands
the issues Jan raised. And note that in Picospan, at the respond-or-pass
prompt, "197" means "starting with 197"; you must say "only 197" to read only
that one.)

Nonsense. The proper syntax for "starting with 197" should be "197+". :)

Isn't it amazing how corrosive a simple little idea gets?
Luckily (for me), the user interface portion of fronttalk is just a perl
program. Anyone who wants a particular syntax, need only make a copy and
modify it to fit their tastes.

So "197-" should cause responses to be displayed in reverse order, John?

Actually, I think that's a current front talk bug. 197- gets interpreted as
197-0 and show displays thinsg in reverse order.

Are you sure that's a bug and not a feature?

If your password expires, and you use SSH to log in to Grex, you don't get
prompted to choose a new password -- you just get told that you've failed
authentication. Not ideal.
(Personally, I don't think Grex is important enough that it should be
forcing regular password changes anyway. I'm aware that this is a minority
opinion around here, though.)

(I agree - actually staff is exempt from the regular password changes thing,
which is probably backwards.)

Can you turn password changes off for the rest of us? Or do we need a
referendum? ;-)

If you like changing your password regularly, nobody's stopping you.

Re #215: If it's such a good policy, why isn't it applied to the staff?
Re #216: What's the problem?

I've noticed that the "View Responses" box in Backtalk doesn't work like
I'd expect. For example, if I enter something like "200-202" and click
the arrow, I get a lot more than just those three responses.

Which interface, gull? I don't know which one I used (it had a light blue
background), but its "View Responses" box worked for me. I tested one, two,
three, and 20-plus responses at a time (the last used a closing number larger
than the number of responses in the item).

I'm using the one with the light yellow background and the green
buttons. Pistachio, I think?
