resp #15: Actually, I don't pronounce my name the anglicized way (i.e.
Byor-n) but the Norwegian way (Byurr-n) and try to teach people to do
the same. I don't even spell it the anglicized way except when I don't
know whether a place will accept letters that aren't part of the
American alphabet. So (despite not being spelled that way on my birth
certificate or social security card for that matter), I use Bjørn.
Granted, since I also have german heritage I have also used Björn
(which is the way Swedes would spell it too).

Neither of which shows up well in Picospan text off the web.

Neither of them is showing up in my telnet window either. I'm guessing one's
meant to be a slashed O. The other's probably an O with an umlaut.

Shows up fine on mine. Which character set are you using?

resp 28: The first one escapes being associated with the letter O all
together (with the exception of being a vowel), though it looks like an
O with a slash through it. As for the second, you are correct.

The o-slash and o-umlaut show up fine in my telnet window. Guess
that's what I get for using a decent terminal emulator (Konsole
under KDE 2.2.2 under Linux Red Hat 2.2.2.)

I'm using NiftyTelnetSSH on a Mac. I assume it uses the ISO 8859-1 charset
as its default.

Both vowels work properly for me with Windoze 98 Telnet.

Good "a:" placement, though "help" was a little overused. The
appearance of the word "set" is rather original, however.

Join the newly reperkified Steve Conference and answer such questions
as "Can perky breasts have puffy nipples?" and "Britney Spears'
breasts, left or right? You decide."

How do you join Steve from backtalk? It must be there under the old
name, still, because I can't seem to find it.

Hit the "Entrance" button on this screen, and the enter "steve" in the
go to conference field on the entrance page.

No, that will *not* work since I am running the abalone version.

The steve conference is not included in the /bbs/public.txt file. This
would be normal for a somewhat "hidden" conference which I don't think
"steve" is supposed to be. If people want this changed, they should
contact cfadm.
Abalone is a little feature poor. I think the only way to join an
unlisted conference is to select "Edit Your Conference Hotlist" from
the pulldown menu, then add the conference to your hotlist.

Or you could just join some other conference, and then edit the URL. It
probably says something like
http://www.grex.org/cgi-bin/pw/backtalk/abalone?conf=agora&csel=@1
Just change the "agora" to "steve" and hit enter. You can pretend you
are a genius hacker if you do it this way.

Of course, abalone should have a sensible way to do this, but the
driving design criteria with abalone was "make it look cool" while the
driving design criteria with pistachio was "make it powerful and
usable". Neither is a complete success at it's goal, nor does either
totally ignore the other goal. But basically I couldn't think of a way
to fit such a rarely used text entry box into the abalone graphical
design. Can't say I tried very hard though. Maybe I'll try again
someday if I ever get some more free time.

I do appreciate your efforts, Jan. I used pistachio for a long time
before I moved to abalone. I stuck with abalone primarily for the
fact that it allows more posts to be read at a time (nice with Agora),
and for the fact that there are links to each clump of responses. I
might move back to pistachio if I could read more responses at a time,
however, as it is a bit faster, and sticks with the original colors
set by each conference. *shrug*
It's all good. I managed to subscribe to Steve. I could have just
typed it in at the Edit page, but I did it through pistachio.
Redundant, but it got things done.
