cheerz juergen
yes... i will definitely like other people to be able to use / enjoy / suggest
improvements on any programs i write
so how do i put them on this 'page' please???
danke anke - bitte brgitte
eel - aal
p.s. is there as quicker way of loggin to post these messages???
i find it tiresome typing out my entire email addresse AND trying to remember my
'random string of character type' password... cant i change the password to one i
can remember easier... i hate writing down passwords!!!
if i send more than one in the same 'session' i use 'copy' & 'paste' for the
password but then i cant use 'copy' & 'paste' for the email addresse too!!!
and - if i tick the 'remember password' box does it mean anyone can type a
message from 'me' by using my email addresse???
(if i seem a bit pedantic it's coz i have aspergers - but i have a laugh about
it too)
i am also thinking of writing a sort of 'rule-less' chess type game using
wizards & animals instead of kings & chronies!!!

Yes, I think so, and they might be able to discover your address easily -
my computer, for example, remembers items previously typed into forms,
and I can get my e-mail address back just by hitting 'i' in the e-mail
entry. Wouldn't take anyone long to go thru the alphabet.
So it's not a good idea to have a public computer remember passwords.

That's fine.

I was meaning this page:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm
Simply put the whole universe ... erm, I mean your 'planetarium' program
in a ZIP file, and then follow the instructions in the box on top of
that page.

I believe most of us would like to be able to choose our own password,
but RDS doesn't provide this feature. I don't know the reason why.

I'm not sure.
I *believe* in that case a cookie will be stored on your hard drive.
And then anyone sitting at that computer can type a message from 'you'
by using your email address. Especially 'interesting', when you use a
public computer.

Being pedantic about security will be called 'reasonable' by many people.
Maybe it's more comfortable for you to send e-mails to this group. In
this case you have to subscribe to Topica, read the details here:

Why not sign up for the email listserv instead of using the web interface?

I'm sure Bill Gates does too!
