Can anyone improve this? yes. but first: nice, no that´s not sufficient: _very_ nice. in Netscape.ad comment out the following lines to *encodingFilters: \ x-compress : : .Z : uncompress -c \n\ compress : : .Z : uncompress -c \n ! x-gzip : : .z,.gz : gzip -cdq \n\ ! gzip : : .z,.gz : gzip -cdq \n with that netscape finally behaves as it should. don´t forget, netscape needs the link /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape pointing to Netscape.ad. perhaps it is sufficient to copy these lines to preferences.js. as you can see above, your line ´Suffixes´ should be completed to Suffixes:z,gz there should also be another entry to handle the .Z-files properly. but what about the appropriate MIMIEtTpe? i haven´t found the possible values. could you please point me to a location, where this types are listed? hafi ps: there may be some curious people, which can profit from my researches so far. i had detected, that the problem wasn´t debian related and was willing to post my question in an appropriate newsgroup. i had done the following tests on my machine (all with communicator): debian slink (glibc 2.0) 4.6, 4.61, 4.07 => fail suse 5.3 (libc5) 4.5 => fail win95 4.0? => success

communicator 4.6 - ftp bug
greetings, well, now it´s me who have to whine. firstly, a hearty gghh. my communicator 4.6 insists of unpacking certain types of files before saving to hd. this behaviour is not acceptable, therefore i have to use another version, which will download a file _unchanged_ if demanded. could someone - preferably with version 4.61 or 4.08 - please download ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/graphics/sane_1.0.1-1.diff.gz, check and tell if the downloaded file has the size of 17428 bytes? for the curious: you could think, why bother, let the communicator unpack the file, you could then pack the file again and you will have, what you wanted. but it´s not so easy. i´ve done so, played with the availabel compression levels, but get never exactly the same size the file has had before downloading. but the size of this file is essential if one will create a glibc2.0 deb from the deb-sources, which i must do because nearly all new packages are compiled with glibc2.1 which i will not tolerate on my slink system. even playing with Netscape.ad was not sufficient to educate my 4.6. surely, i could use other prgramms to download my files - and in fact i have done so - but i will not. tia hafi

At least I didn't found a way. there´s really no need to run the SETUP programm, if you have access to an computer with an installed DOS. just use a sys´d disk with the necessary tools for preparation and transfer the files. hafi

Here is a little extract from what i have just read in c´t 5/96 about Wordperfect: Because Wordperfect uses exclusively its own fonts, there´s no possibility for remedy. Hm, that´s my own translation from german, c´t is not responsible for it. hafi
Re: leafnode expiring news groups

Look in /usr/lib/leafnode/config.example: ## timeout_short determines how many days fetch gets a newsgroup which ## has been accidentally opened. The default is two days. # timeout_short = 1 ## timeout_long determines how many days fetch will wait before not getting ## an unread newsgroup any more. The default is seven days. # timeout_long = 6 This belongs to leafnode 1.9. Also think about fetch -n. hafi

A similar configuration works well for me with DLD on hda and SuSE on hdb - and yes, i´m yet thinking about changing to Debian. Perhaps i also should have mentioned, that my lilo is in the MBR of hda. hafi
