No, I don't think you do anything to the item. It looks fine to me.
Especially in light of its first response.

O, well, that would mean ryan is fucking the system up, which is prefectly fine
with me.
But it still doesn't solve the problem!!

I will be plain: there is nothing wrong with the item in the test
conference. The author of the item used an executable as the text of
the item. It takes a while for picospan to process the file because of
its size, but that's all.
Someone (rational? salad? I forget which) has now entered a very similar
item in agora. (I don't remember the number. The commands
browse 310-328
and
browse 330-last
should find it.

An item was taken off-line for a while. It has now been put back, with the
text modified.

Jerkoff is posting /etc/passwd all over the place. You had the privilege of

Item 331 gave me an error when I tried browsing it, because the file is
gone. Typing "forget 331" fixed it so browse doesn't choke.

I don't know who removed 331, nor do I know how it was removed.
I jury-rigged something. I'm kind of surprised it worked. :)

anyone know what/why there are loooooong delays when going from one
item to the next after the rfp prompt? and also in starting to read
a specific item frm the ok: prompt.
i mean times like a minute or more, not just a net-lag few seconds.

My *guess* is that it has to do with certain text being entered into
items and then removed by staff. The removed text is quite large.

What hardware problem might be responsible if we are unable to do Y and have
it print mail from within pine, on two computers? On a third computer it all
works. We tried two printers (which worked elsewhere), two cables, two
computers, one with 2 different modems on 2 comports (2 and 3), two of grex'es
phone numbers (3000 and 5041). The printer works otherwise and will PrtScr
mail. Is it possible to print (on your home computer) files that are in your
home directory and if so how, short of downloading them first?
These two computers are ones we put together for a friend who likes to print
all the jokes people send her forwarded in email.
Also when she forwarded mail from grex (pine, f) the attachments arrived as
large strings of 7-bit characters instead of images, tho the receiving mail
program (webmail) identified them at attachments before she tried to read the
mail. When I sent her mail directly with an attached image that worked (she
saw the image).
WE are using Kermit. Once we had a 14.4 bps modem that would not, with
kermit, print from pine. But we tried 3 modems tonight. (I did not want to
take apart my computer to try the one that was in it.)

I print text files from my grex directory wby selecting the text and then
using Print Selection (Apple-P).

Our keyboards don't have any Apple-P key. I discovered that the problem is
kermit will do prYnt from c:\kermit but not d:\kermit and now we have to talk
her through making a new directory, copying files to it from the old one, and
editing a batch file to change d: to c:.
Is there a way to print directly with a non-Mac computer from one's home
directory at grex? I think you can print from lynx directly.

Are they the same version of kermit? I'm *really* surprised that kermit
would care which drive it was on for printing. It seems more likely
that there is a difference in the terminal-support settings. Pine uses
"attached to ANSI" for its printing. (I don't use kermit, so I can't
offer suggestions on checking its settings.)
I think lynx uses the same print mechanism Pine uses. If one works,
the other should.
"Print Selection" is a feature of the terminal software. I seem to
recall seeing it in ProComm or ProComm Plus. Again, I don't use kermit,
so I can't comment on its features.

Re #345: For printing Grex text on your local printer, you might try
the "pcprint" command, e.g.
pcprint FILENAME (from a shell prompt)
or read pass 100 | 'pcprint (in Picospan, to print an item)
This might or might not work, depending on how your terminal software
is set up.

There is a new vote in progress on a proposal to amend the bylaw
article on member votes. Voting runs through March 23. Type vote
at a shell prompt or !vote at any other prompt to read the
proposal and/or cast a ballot. See item 122 in Coop for discussion.

I should add that since this is a bylaw amendment, at least 75% of
members voting must vote in favor in order for it to pass.

I have identical versions of kermit in c: and d: and the one in c: prints and
that in d: does not. Three computers will print from c:, three won't from
d:, on four printers, various cables.

My latest linux comes with microcom, a little dialing program smaller than
minicom, which when I try to use it to log into grex, immediately after I give
my login, does Password: Incorrect password. It appears to be sending some
string which gets interpreted as password, and does not leave me a millisecond
to enter my own password. When I try this at mnet it dutifully pauses for
me to enter my password, twice. Other people say it works for them. What
might be happening at grex to cause problems with password giving?
