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.

I should fix that.

        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.

when i try to access the item "archives", /backtalk/ is getting
an internal error. tried a few times -- the problem is 100%
repeatable.

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.

re #170, 171
I tried accessing the conference ( archive ) and get the same result.
First by typing the name in the entrance page and later  through the 
item list. Every time when I press the read new  button, it gives the 
backtalk crash message. Maybe someone would like to investigate this?

re #171: ok, i meant a conference. and yeah, it is "archive" and
i had tried "archive". it did not work. i'll try out today also.

re #174: the graphics are working.

The queue hung at 17 for some time, and then suddenly flashed login: *and*
disconnected on the timer.

The new modem "letter salad" problem is partially solved.

If you have the problem where connecting to one of the new modems gives you
occasional garbled screens, try turning on your modem's error correction. 
If your modem does not have error correction, I am still working on that part
of the problem.  You can also try dialing in to 761-5041 to connect to our
faster lines with different modei attached to them.

This is a puzzle, not a problem - I have  oldagora  - at the top of my
.cflist, and it was stopping there, even when there were no new entries. A
couple of days ago it started skipping oldagora and going right to the second
cf in my .cflist. What was changed?

Re 179: Put you into first conference on your .cflist with or without activity
there: Picospan behavior.  Putting you in the first conference from your
.cflist with activity: Backtalk (pistachio) behavior.

response 181 of 187: Mark Unseen   Jun 19 20:44 UTC 1997

No - it *stopped* putting me in the first item on my .cflist. It now just
reports "no activity" and goes on. This is on a telnet link - not Backtalk.
