Both the spelling and the link are good. And according to the access logs, several different host addresses have been to the page. What type of message are you getting??
I think you're trying to solve the wrong problem.
Quite possible. There did not seem to be enough information from the 'User' for me to determine specifics of what was really going on. I assumed it was just an access problem to the webpage.
The access problem has more to do with creatures of habit that like doing what works before they start experimenting and another element of psychology that makes people into great imitators that only get better when you challenje them. My own rule of thumb is that code doesn't belong in English text, and I'm not sure about Universal Resource Locators in e-mail (it would certainly be a refreshing change to see them omitted when. A rule for OKpists is similar in that numbers are spelt out, and I doubt that Googol ato1en squared twice is sufficiently distinct from a Universal Resource CONNECT 33600/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS IN APPEARANCES! (snip)...While I was waiting, I got a good idea on a thinly related topic. Cole's Law: Thinly sliced cabbage. If you ever get a refurbished or second-hand computer, then chances are you'll get some surprises in the configuration. I got that quotation from a program that I moved over a patch cable from my old computer (and I still haven't done that completely, because I didn't discover fmirror until _after_ I had done a lot of typing). Lewis' Law: No matter how long or hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper. Dhu prohgram iz uv kohrs fild with sumthing akin to wut QOTD (Kwohtayshun uv dhu day) iz fild with, but speshalized, soh I wawnted tuu enshure dhat QOTD had ol dhu stuf frum "Murphy.exe". Within _dhat_ wuz an intenshunal ridl. I ran it with MURPHY /? and ol it tohld me wuz wut it just hapend tuu tel me for the first tuu weeks: "Nature sides with the hidden flaw". Dohn't ask me why, but I kut dhe swic kaarakter when I ran the prohgram again. Sumtiim layter, I manajed to piip dhee entire list of kwotayshunz, no formatting, intuu a fiil. So, why am I spoiling this? Simply, because I think that answering this riddle will be rare, this archive isn't on google (which is an economic riddle, due the sheer volume of storaje required to duplicate the internet), there's at least half a douze riddles in the basic operation of FRACTINT, and you can square that for the purposes and questions of direction in programming. The point is simply dhat I _prefer_ doing without swichez, whic mainly serv to let you name files in an obvious fashion when you should be avoiding that. As far as I can see, FRACTINT doesn't hav them. In jerman, someone avoided "doppeltgemopelt" or unnecessary redundancy. (I olsoh happen to hayt prohgrams that dohn't ask for parameterz when thay ar reekwired. It's just a link to a formatted payj.
