Letter to all... could we please switch back to the normal uue encoding? Most of us, can't use the base 64. Plus base 64 really dosn't add THAT much more compression.... I'm on a terminal, I don't have access to the base 64 decoding program. just the normal uue thanks!~ --- /) \ /\ / /ogo \/ \/olf *************************************************************************** * * * E-mail:pogowolf at iastate.edu * *HomePage:http://www.public.iastate.edu/~pogowolf/homepage.html * * * *You can learn alot about a person by the news groups they subscribe too!!* ***************************************************************************

I'm using PINE on a unix shell account and it works fine. PINE is on just about ALL unix shells.

When I replied to a message, it would send an empty message. Pine is pretty easy to learn and has lots of cool features, including base 64 attachments.

I have a POP3 and use EudoraPro which will decode the files, but Pine intended for IMAP servers. People who use Dial-Up and have IMAP will just have to suffer.

Weird. I figured everyone called a service provider through a terminal program on their pc. I use commo, which is about as dumb terminal program as you get (it works though, and is 100 times faster to get to my email through the unix shell account than starting windoze\winsock\netscape) log into my shell account and run pine from unix. Everyone who has a unix(or linux) shell account should have access to pine. I use tin to read the newsgroups.

Michael Packard -------------------------------------------------------- You're right, of course - using the Unix shell is much faster. I use Telix for that. But I've gotten hooked on Agent 99's features - sorting, folders, filters, etc. For instance my filters for alt.best.of.internet remove about 70-80% of the posts. It really helps not to have to look at so much junk. I know, tin has killfiles - Agent's are just easier to use. I handle the speed problem by using Sean's Scheduler to pick up news and email at 4am. I surf the web with images turned off, and still have time to read my downloaded newsgroups and email during the World Wide Wait. (Ob Euphoria Reference) Speaking of speed, perhaps future Euphoria versions could benefit from the concept of the jiffy. In physics, a jiffy is sometimes defined as the time it takes light to travel one meter. In programming, it can be 1/100th or 1/60th of a second, depending on the language. Jiffies are much more appropriate to computer speeds than seconds. Regards, Warren

In animation and video a "jiffy" is 1/60 of a second (one field of NTSC video) Michael Packard Lord Generic Productions lgp at exo.com http://exo.com/~lgp A Crash Course in Game Design and Production http://exo.com/~lgp/euphoria
