OT Response of BT to my message...
... about their legal action in the US. The context of their reply is my mail in which I asked for a reduction on an average use of hyper links of 25 clicks p/day. Not more as I was expecting to be eligible for back payments in case they would win their case. Their reply is nothing more and nothing less than I expected although I had a secret wish they would tell me something I didn't know. In all I have an impression it is again a bunch of sharks trying to make a good impression on their employer and make him believe the money he is paying them is not lost. Anyway, back to Linux...

(KMM2596096V9088L0KM) Dear Mr Grbic, Thank you for your email regarding BT and the legal action being taken on Hyperlink technology. You may find the following information useful. BT owns a US patent (no.4,873,662) relating to the principles behind hyperlinks, a concept widely used in the Internet and similar environments, including some corporate intranets. In the 1970s we did pioneering research development work on the convergence of telecommunications and computing. This gave rise to a BT invention which is now used in Internet hyperlinks. We are taking legal action against Prodigy, and have approached other American Internet Service Providers to discuss a reasonable royalty based on the revenues that others enjoy by benefiting from our intellectual property. We have approached ISPs as it would clearly be impractical to agree a license with every user of the Internet in the USA, and individual users of ISPs can effectively be covered by their ISPs taking licenses. It would make no sense to pursue every individual who uses the Internet. We can confirm that only the US is affected, as that is the only territory in which the patent applies. There is no effect in Europe or elsewhere. This is a straightforward business matter and intellectual property issues are commonplace in high tech industries. Thank you for taking the time to contact BT on this matter.

View automaticaly an URL in Opera from Pine
Hello All, I've been away for some time suffering with W2k out of no reason at all if not because I seem to have masochistic tendencies... :-) Being late on a lot of things I started going through my setup(s) and noticed there's no talk about using Opera as the URL viewer from, in my case, Pine. What I had and which worked OK was a script to launch Netscape if one would hit enter on a URL. Netscape being on its way out I've been trying to make Opera do the same thing. It doesn't approach the complexity of Douglas' Netscape script which would e.g. test if Netscape is running or not. I haven't tested yet if Opera is more intelligent than Netscape and if it needs to know that it's running. At this point in time it looks like it doesn't need to as it opens the URL in a new window within the running instance. Much simpler than Netscape. For Pine go to the setup screen - M, S, C, - and keep the Page Down key pressed until you hit the bottom. The default command you see will try to launch htmlviewer which than will, most probably, try to use Konquerer. To change this hit ENTER and type the following command: /usr/bin/opera -newwindow _URL_ Hit ENTER again, E, Y to save and try to open an URL directly from a message by highlighting it, Ctrl + F to go forward and Ctrl + B to go backward. The URL will open in a new window within the running instance of Opera, otherwise it will launch Opera and do the same. There's a bummer if Opera is not running yet. It will start OK and go to your URL but it will occupy the viewer within Pine until you close Opera. This doesn't happen if you have an instance already running. At this point in time I haven't played enough with the various options of Opera to see if it can be circumvented. In case anybody has been there please share your experience as it might be an useful SxS.

Win XP [was: Re: Someone has to ask...]
On Oct 30 stayler was heard saying: -I am quite sure it stands for eXtra Profit *** I can confirm that. I went to the Windows nest here in Paris (Surcouf, Ave. Daumesnil for the initiated) and saw XP home edition going for approx 1900Ffr which would be around 292 US $! The small Linux counter, which shares the wall with the M'$oft booth, offers SuSE Pro for 492Ffr which is 75 US $. Still, there were so many people populating the Windows booth one couldn't get to the counter. All those pickled youngsters, dressed up women and sharp looking young professionals being so proud to belong to the elected few... reminded me of sheep. So much as a matter of fact I instantly had the urge to imitate one very loudly. It's a pity I didn't have a recording device to film the looks on all those faces... philosophical I never was able to understand human ignorance and stupidity. /philosophical finishing rant I must say it frustrates me immensely to read the news articles about Microsoft winning the legal battle and laughing openly at their victims, present and future... /finishing rant Cheers, Zoran. -- _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ MicroSoft Network may not carry this message without license to do so.
