Re: SIS chopping pages...

[Tony Cianfaglione <ab616@chebucto.ns.ca>]

   We tried shift-booting and the result was the same.

   The website is at: http://www.chebcuto.ns.ca//Technology/NSAUG

   The first page shows 'FFF>' in the upper left hand corner as its only
error.

   http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Technology/NSAUG/sub/ftp.html (our ftp site
page) doesn't show any sites above Kentucky and only shows the following
code above Kentucky:

    'u/">OZ FTP'

   http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Technology/NSAUG/sub/resources.html (our www
resources page) shows nothing above AV Systems except for the following
code:

   'ing-(Australia)'

   Our software library page at:

   http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Services/PDA/appleII.html (and then follow
the various pages to the software) shows various missing page tops yet the
html code was done by hand using Lynx on a freenet connected via ProTerm
3.1. on an Apple IIc to make all our pages completely Apple II-friendly.
We wanted to ensure that they were also SIS-friendly but for some reason,
the chopping happened.

   Our member is using Spectrum 2.1 and SIS 1.0 and has shift-booted.  He
has a registered version and not a demo.  He will be upgrading to SIS 1.1
and Spectrum 2.2 (when available).

   Our Lynx system at the freenet has difficulty accessing Delphi so we
use csa2 exclusively unless it is email.
