In fact, I have a user on my BBS who I have to LZH Cnet for >him so he can use the new versions! (I wish Ken would stop using ZIP, I hate >that program..) I don't use PKAZIP, I use Un-Zip_030 that was up on Future World, which was what Pletzer said to use to undo it....I hate ZIP alltogether, but some people are too frickin lazy to write a script....I mean, I wrote a script to recompile my programs, lzh them up, and then move them to the UD area....and like Pletzer couldn't do that.... I think he's just abusing something somewhere...he has a bunch of null pointers he accesses in the load program...I keep bitching about it, been bitching since he released 1.95...its just gotten worse...Alot of it has to do with compiler flukes I am pretty sure, because C-Net only started dying when he switched to the beta Manx...But its probably because of some bad code somewhere that the compiler is handling differently all of a sudden.. My biggest beef with C-Net is his inconsistant 'C' interface to PFiles though, he should have thought it out better instead of using internal structures that should be "private" to C-Net...Having to recompile code for every new release is stupid...and when you write a program and others start bitching it doesn't work on their beta copies, and I can't run that beta copy, its what drives a screw into my side.... -Ron -- C-UseNet V0.42g Ronald Kushner Life in Hell BBS +1 (313) 939-6666 P.O.
