Hi all, Well, to me (bear in mind I am rather jet-lagged at the moment, and hence my brain is not yet thinking clearly;-), this is indeed a bug. I seem to...
Hi Greg, et al. Quickly looking at the HOTLSMAN.C source code (in USRC169U.ZIP), there are two apparent limitations with the HOTLIST.HTM size. Firstly, each...

... I'm surprised that the 512 line limit cuts me down to under 200 entries, as each entry should be on a single line. ... No I don't have a compiler. If you...

Ahhh ... so _that_ was the "undesirable side-effect" ! Thanks for the info., Glenn. Anyway, IMHO, the correct functionality is not to cache directory listings,...
OK, Greg, You are quite right that a limit of 512 lines should allow for more than sub-200 entries for the HOTLIST.HTM file. I had in the back of my mind that...
I have a feeling that the speed problem isn't in wwwman.exe itself but rather in the slow speed of the HDDs in the older machines. And of-course FDDs are even...
... Yeah, it seems fundamentaly wrong to cache any dir listing ever OTOH the speed issue with wwwman is bound to be difficult since so much work needs to be...
Hi Greg, et al. Well, I tried your _HOT1.HTM as HOTLIST.HTM, with the experimental HOTLSMAN build (2048 line limit, instead of 512) and unfortunately, this...
Hi Glenn, et al. Well, unless even a simple "dir" command is unacceptably slow, we cannot just blame the drive for any speed problems here. I think both the...
... I was starting to wonder whether it was me...... ... Ah, yes, that could have happened in the mailing. I should have sent then in a ZIP file to prevent...

Hi Greg, et al. I think I've found the problem! :-) There's a constant in 'arachne.h' called MAXQUERY, which presently has a value of 16000. That's about the...
... I suspect that constant sets the amount of memory available for writing the new hotlist. I did a similar job with BASIC where only a _very_ limited amount ...

Couple of thoughts I had while reading this ... (Yeah, I still do occassionally) Letting the software grind it all together sorta leaves the user out ... i.e....
Hi Glenn, et al. Well, actually, for a very long time now, I've been wanting to fix up a few things in 'wwwman', but never given it sufficient priority to...
Hi Roberto, As you may recall, the problem I found with FreeDOS compatibility was with the following line in 'mime.cfg' : file/apm.dgi >HTM|[100]copy...
