No free service is going to give unlimited access or not have some limitation on the service. Too many self-centered individuals would just destroy the service for the rest of the users. Hence, the limitations and restrictions. Besides that, why should somebody spend time, money, and effort to develop and maintain a service so you can use it for free? -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 14:13:25 +0700 From: Andi Siregar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: To decode file?

Can't say Compiler is simple in a way. everyone would need to use different numbers. like if you wrote anything you could use numbers from 5000 to 6000. I could send example to each that wanted to handle with readme compiler, that way they can see how it works. The win compiler is HTML the only thing with it is all pages are in the same directory. meaning that if one had a subject that required many pages then they would need to have page1.htm, page2.htm, page3.htm. Need to stay away from home.htm, index.htm, header.htm those are main index pages. all others work fine and mo limit on size of page even with graphic's new compile handles *.wav files as well, also cut/paste and moving objects gif files. If you understand HTML 3.0 or under then no problem. if you named your pages john1.htm for main page and john2.htm , john3.htm, etc for all other pages. as of yet 5000 pages can be compiled, that as many as i have put into one manual. also this runs in win3, win 95, and win 98, win nt. Let me know how you would like to handle the parts. the compile for win checks for error's before compiling in case a link is missing. so this saves much time. if you want to pass the word around tell them they can contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] address this way if they send files zipped the robot can handle it without problems and we will not have a bunch of mail coming to our personal account. other then that give me your input. also a shareware compiler is at www.html2exe.com the latest win 95 version, but compiles for all win platforms, but must be run on win 95 to compile. gary Net-Tamer V 1.11.1 - Registered ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 20:25:13 -0800 From: "Gerald E.
