Re: Website moving to Comcast...

That's a good idea, and I considered it, but it's way too much
trouble for just the last two weeks of AOL presence.
hehe, well it is only 16 pages (2^4 is such a nice number) and a little
cut'n'pasting :-) and the point was more so that the last date at
archive.org for them would have a link to the new place.
(I guess one have to force archive.org to recrawl them before it
is too late though, and the result can first be seen 6 months later...)
The actual process of uploading to AOL's FTP space is quite
cumbersome, requiring about 20 "clicks" per file. So while
the occasional update is not too annoying, a "mass update"
would be a PITA--come to think of it, just about as annoying
as uploading files to Comcast and making them "public". ;-(
Apparently, "free" services are burdened with extremely poor
tools for maintaining a site, judging from my sample of two.
If I could use a *real* FTP client, it would be easy.
btw, will the Sound Editor work on an europlus(clone)?
Yes, it should work fine. The help messages use lower
case, but that's easily changed if it's a problem.
good to hear. nothing that gets destroyed by 50Hz or things.
and my clone do have lowercase so thats no problem.
it is no apple2e though so I guess RTSynth won't work because of
no Key Down sensing, but I guess it would be possible to create
a version of it that plays a note until another key is pressed?
Yes it would--kind of a constant "sustain" pedal. ;-)
It's been a while since I tried reading the AKD port on a
][ or ][+. There's a possibility that it may already work
that way (it gets the key value from the AKD port read).
Or you could just use CiderPress to print out a copy
of the program and read the help from there. ;-)
mmm... that AppleCommander john has on the page he mentioned in the
other post looks nice for looking at apple-disks too
I'm pretty addicted to "clicking", myself. It's not so handy
for "make" files, but it's great for rummaging around, listing
files, and printing them in a format you like.
I wonder if there are other web sites about apple2 on AOL
that now have to move or disappear... did AOL inform their users
just this month (not 3 months in advance as one normally do
for other things) or?
Yes, it was short notice. In fact, I first noticed it in a
"heading" on my web pages that AOL added (something else
I can live without).
