re resp:115: that possibility had not occurred to me. I did this:
Tools > Internet Options > Security > Internet > Custom Level
Under "Miscellaneous" there is a setting "Display Mixed Content" which
is set by default to "Prompt"
I set it to "Enable" and that removed the problem.
Thanks!

Re #114
Is a cert from a company really necessary? And the cheapest I've found from
a source I trust (which is either verisign, geotrust, or thawte) is $149/year
(thawte.com).
IMHO, Grex's own certs are plenty fine for what it uses them for.

I agree. I told Firefox to accept Grex's certificate permanently, so I
wouldn't be nagged about it every time. I don't see what benefit a
trust path to an entity that's trusted by default (which is what you're
paying for) would have, here.

Some people may have more problems in their scripts now that we've
moved away from a SysV UNIX to a BSD UNIX - the "usr/ucb" directory in
a SunOS sytem is where BSD UNIX commands were put in Suns SysV OS.
Something like the move from Korn shell scripts to bash. Shell scripts
using Sun's SysV commands may not work the same in BSD (or be missing
entirely) so be aware.
Also, there are more differences in the directory structure and the
whole environment and deamon setup that may affect scripts written in a
SysV system. Better test your scripts before trusting them.

Ksh is now under an open source license. Failing that, pdksh might be
available, but it's a klone of ksh88, not 93.

SunOS before version 5 (aka Solaris) is BSD, not System V.

That is, SunOS =>5 is aka Solaris.

re #107 ..... here is the stuff about that university :
Penn State University has just told its
80,000 students to switch to an
alternative browser such as Firefox, Mozilla,
Opera, or Safari. They
are urging their students to
stop using Internet Explorer.
Go here for the entire article in Information Week:
<http://www.informationweek.com/showArticle.jhtml;
jsessionid=MJHKZY2Y4HQ5OQSNDBCCKHSCJUMEKJVN?articleID=55301109>
obviously, the url needs to be pasted twice into your location
field, minus the <> stuff.
you will get this headline:
Penn State Tells 80,000 Students To Chuck IE
lovely headline .......

I'll help TS out - try http://tinyurl.com/63zy2 in place of that long url.
What's going on eith Mozilla/Netscape? The article doesn't mention Netscape
as an alternative, though I've gotten the sense it is now related in some
fashion to Mozilla.

Mozilla and Firefox are based on the same rendering engine. I'm not
sure about Netscape; I think it forked off a couple years ago, but I
could be wrong.

Mozilla began as an open source fork of Netscape; Firefox began as a
webbrowsing alternative to Mozilla, which is an Internet user's kitchen sink.

The "About Netscape" under Netscape 7.1 says
"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Netscape/7.1"
and
"Copyright 2000-2003 Netscape Communications Corporation. Portions of this
code are copyrighted by Contributors to the Mozilla codebase under the
Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public License."
So, is Netscape 7.1 the same as Mozilla 5.0?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the latest Netscape
and Mozilla use the same "rendering engine" (Gecko) -- meaning that
web pages will look the same in both browsers -- but differ in other
details such as the user interface (menus, toolbars, etc.).

after Netscape 4, the entire codebase was thrown out, and they started from
scratch. The project was handed to a semi-independent, non-profit (I think)
organisation, the Mozilla Foundation, and the source opened. Mozilla was
released as a development version, starting w/ version .1 (or, before that,
Milestones counting up to I think 18); every so often, especially quality
Mozilla releases have been forked as official Netscape releases, starting with
NS 6.0.
At some point in the last several years, it was decided that instead of
offering the entire kitchen sink at once, users should be able to just get
the parts they want and build their own sink at home, so now there are the
Moz Firefox (browser), Thunderbird (e-mail), Sunbird (calendar), and Lightning
(calendar/address book synchro, I think) projects; you can also still get the
entire package at once. You can read more about Mozilla at
http://www.mozilla.org/about/ ; there's probably a link to a page about the
history of the Mozilla project around there somewhere, although I don't see
it.

It seems to be case sensitive. Try http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/
I suppose, eventually, everyone here will be a Package...

For users of "mail", here is something I discovered is different about the
mail program on nextgrex:
R [message list] reply to message sender(s).
r [message list] reply to message sender(s) and all recipients.
Use of just lower case "r" annoyingly adds you (the recipient) to the reply
distribution. Use capital R instead.
