Isn't it weird that some people _need_ such a written
rule for their communication?

The old ATI 3d rage pro for example has such a bad
OpenGL driver that even with a P2/400 software
rendering is at least twice as fast.

It isn't a free- or shareware program. It's sold by
http://www.asymetrix.com/ and I don't know if there's
a trial version or private edition for free.

IMO it is not as bad as you describe it.

The universe message comes up only once, not with every world
you visit. So usually it is brought to you in the world you
already have choosen to be your home place in AW.
For new visitors that is always the universe default start
world, not one of the private ones.

It is disturbing like all advertizing but it does (did) not
really do damage.

These few lines should do the job on a '98 but I cannot
test it, I have no no Win98 here :

#include <windows.h>
main()
{
SystemParametersInfo (SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, 0, "1", 0);
}

I sent the compiled binary to Data earlier, but no
response yet.

It's open source, but uses the RW API to read RWX.
I don't think that it can compete with AW but still
something to keep an eye on :)

Open source can keep a format going, even if those
who developed it don't support it anymore.

It isn't new, and it's DOS

It's part of the http://sourceforge.net project, and
they have a linux bases system too, worldforge.
Client/server both freesource.

Suse has quite good management tools, but it's bloated.

RedHat has a minimized version that comes on only one CD,
that looked quite acceptable to me.
Mandrake seems to be similar to RedHat in what they
install for a basic system, not too bloated.

I heard about the Corel that it's a good starter system

I think the best would be to check http://www.linuxiso.org/
for the smallest systems, look if it contains all components
you need (kernel version, hardware support, web support, DSL)
and decide then.

Always a quite slim option : Free BSD

I never tried this, but I think that's how it works :

You can give a folder an icon by placing a file
called "desktop.ini" in it, containing :

[.ShellClassInfo]
CLSID={ClassKey}

ClassKey is the name of a registry like
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{Classkey}

Check your own registry section to see how these keys
look like.

In this class key you need a key "DefaultIcon" with
the standard value containing your icon.

What you now have to do to define one folder as a
folder of this "type" is, copy the INI file into it.


Examples can be found like this :
attrib desktop.ini /s
It should show the (hidden) history folder of IE
somewhere in the Windows directory. Go there,
open the DESKTOP.INI with Notepad, copy the
value behind CLSID= to the clipboard and search
regedit for this entry.


I am not so sure if you can set an icon for such a
special folder without setting a folder handler DLL
for it at the same time, that plugs info the Windows
Explorer - but if it doesn't work you can just remove
the key you added - and maybe call me names ;)

Did I miss "Scale", that goes hand in hand with X/Z rotation?

I guess the rotating feature required a new cell database
and it would be a good idea, to have the scaling value at
least already in the database, even if it was not used yet.
One of the famous "FFE" implementations - easy to add
and less trouble later with upgrades of world servers.

At http://www.rarsoft.com/ you can download "far",
basically a 32 bit norton commander clone. Several
plugins are available, one of them a process browser
that can inspect and kill processes.

Other plugins are an FTP client, a registry browser,
network browsers and some hundred more.

I forgot to mention, the crashes happened nearly always (5 times)
when it showed the last file for download.
Just a guess : the array for scheduled downloads might have an
underflow. Maybe this helps tracking the bug.

If you would have posted it only to this one group,
it might have been accepted. But you crossposted
it, and it didn't belong to 4 of the 5 groups.
That IS spamming.

I guess it is an IDE drive, not SCSI.

When 2 IDE devices hang on the same cable, one needs to
be jumpered as master, one as slave device.

As you have a second cable now, you could try to use the
second IDE controller on your motherboard with the CD.
Before you do that, you need to set the master/slave
jumper to "master" and check, if the second IDE controller
is enabled on your motherboard.

If this solves your problem, your HD will even be slightly
faster - a second positive effect.

If your CD is already jumpered as "master" and on the same
controller as the HD, this must cause trouble and could
explain the strange drive letter behaviour.


If this does not help, you should check the devices. Sometimes
windoze 95/98 "thinks", that it has to install a new device
driver although there already is one. When 2 drivers try to
access the same device this can cause strange behaviour too.


If it is SCSI :

Make sure to jumper the SCSI-ID of the CD higher than 2,
because some controllers/drivers expect HDs on the first
two SCSI IDs (historical reasons).

I played with the "Enable Disconnect" setting once on an
U2W Adaptec - result was that it crashed WindowsNT with
a bluescreen already on startup. Check the settings in the
SCSI controller menu on startup (if it has such a thing),
maybe you find the "removable" problem there too.
