 Yes, working here on ARMX6 and Armini. It did take some setting up,
 though...

 On first run, you should be presented with a list of options, but I
 never had much joy with this and resorted to modding the files in
 !Boot.Choices.Fetch_NS.Settings.  Mostly self-explanatory. Mostly!

 I have !Wget in configure 'look at'.

Richard still hasn't told us which version of Fetch_NS he's trying to 
run, which is highly relevant.

If someone can tell me whether it's legal to do so, I could send him 
my Not John William's version, which should work exactly as it does 
here.

The setting up of this is a bit tricky, but as it doesn't use paths 
that depend on one's setup (1) it should work everywhere.

(1) For instance, the directory that NetSurf will be installed in is 
defined as Fetch_NS$Download$Dir Fetch_NS$Dir.^ so that if Fetch_NS 
is in the same directory as NetSurf then NetSurf will be put into the 
correct place.

HTH,

Best wishes,

Peter.

 This is really not the place to discuss third-party software, but anyone
 can do whatever they like with anything derived from my stuff!

Many thanks, John, so over to Richard now, if he wants to take up my 
offer, preferably off-list.

I've just discovered that the version I have is by Frank de Bruijn.

Best wishes,

Peter.

2.21, which runs fine on the RPC,

I quoted the line from the !Run file - which caklls a Taskwindow. On the
RPC, that TaskWindow opens as expected.

On the ARMX6, no such task window opens.

 I have !Wget in configure 'look at'.

The instructions do say you have to chose which transport: there are lines
in the !Run file to be commented in out as appropriate. I did that. The
transports are called, and start to work - in the background. They then
fail.

A task window is not opened: presumably this should only open when the
transport returns some output.

The error returned by wget says the filename is incorrectly formatted. At
Line 24!

I have installed a new version of 2.21, fresh from the zip file, and will
now reset the ARMX6 and try again.

Same result... the error is returned from the BASIC program
!Fetch_NS.Resources.SetLatest

So I have emailed Frank for help.
