Well, no, not when your Outlook Express reformats the line length when quoting it doesn't. Tsk tsk...try setting your line length to 132 (since that seems to be Outlook Express' limit) as well. If possible, disable a line length limit (forced line breaks) altogether. As an alternative, try getting a different newsreader (Agent, Forte, Netscape Messenger, etc).

First:
I won't set mine from 76 to 132 for the simple reason that when I receive a msg that has 132 line length, it looks awful on my 1024x768. A 132-line is spread over 2 lines, one full, one half-full. -- Dean-Christian Strik ("Fluxen") -- dean2 at bigfoot.com -- ICQ #11760568 "Real programmers like vending machine popcorn.

Second:
I have Forte Agent. Use it for usenet msgs (it doesn't support multiple news servers). Agent and forte are the same one I think (I have Forte/FreeAgent). Netscape Messenger sucks in my opionion. I use it in Linux X. Besides, NSCommSuite 4.5 for linux2-glibc2 hangs and hangs.... -- Dean-Christian Strik ("Fluxen") -- dean2 at bigfoot.com -- ICQ #11760568 "Real programmers like vending machine popcorn.

that works fine with my Outlook Express, Rjin :) Except it seems to break
the quoting - had to add the >'s manually below :( [View Quote] =?iso-8859-1?q?eep=b2?=Feb 11, 1999, 5:32am
Uh, so don't run your newsreader/message reader at full screen. Or increase your font size. Do you enjoy unnecessary vertical scrolling and screwed up quoted line formatting? I don't.

Yes, that is the only problem I've noticed with quoting. Why news/email readers can't put quote symbols before each wrapped line is beyond me, however. They do usually put a ">" (or whatever) in front of the first quoted line, and on a blank line after the last quoted line, so that is SOME differentiation at least...

only problem is if you don't have "wrap long lines" checked, it goes as one continuous line off into the right margin without ant CRs...

....which should be on by default anyway.

If it wasn't for AW's 3D driver, I would run in 800x600x32 instead of
800x600x16. And if it wasn't for my monitor, I would run in 1280x1024x32 or higher... Rolu [View Quote] roluFeb 14, 1999, 12:21pm

Certainly not.

It's fairly simple to cope with these problems. The forestbot should keep
track of all of it's trees, anyway, to make it able to grow them. So, it is easy to have a maximum of, say, 1000 trees at a time. And to save the list of trees, so it can keep on growing after a restart or something. And finally, it can just delete all of its trees when it wants. Rolu [View Quote] tammy joFeb 17, 1999, 12:46pm

Packer1 thus opines:
Here's my virtual two cents, make a vehicle bot ie car, boat, plane, one that can carry a person or persons around with avatar of course. get in type coordinats and the bot follows the roads to get there. Packer1 That's a great idea, in my opinion! I'm VERY new to AW and programming in general, and I'd really like some pointers on where to look for instructions on bot building. Any info is appreciated. Please send any correspondence to: qtc3 at operamail.com Also, how efficient is it for people to build companion sites to their buildings in AW in terms of bandwidth? What I mean is that I've been working on a site specifically designed to have seperate pages for each different aspect of the building I'm making in AW, allowing myself to communicate much more easily, fluidly, and interactively with my AW building visitors. What I want to know is if this is a huge waste of bandwidth which will make people angry, or will it affect it minimally, or will it affect it not at all? Thanks for any info, and again, please write to me at: qtc3 at operamail.com Seth trekkerDec 16, 2000, 2:11am
Hey howabout some one starts to get to work on a bot that can learn, chat
and move around by its self. like a artifical intelegence bot. it world be cool.

Me and a couple of programming buddies of mine once started on this
"artificial intellegence" and we never finished because of all the work and time it takes. Just thought I would post something for once :) -Rick56 > Hey howabout some one starts to get to work on a bot that can learn, chat > and move around by its self. like a artifical intelegence bot. it world be > cool. > [View Quote] |
