Re: Bookmark crashes - 3 years ago
Looking at bug 242 (below), I have not been able to reproduce the first part but the second part doesn't actually crash HW. If a link is clicked during page load then sometimes HW locks-up but pressing Escape cancels the page load and HW comes back to life. Obviously it needs to be looked into. Maybe pressing a link should first cancel the current page load before going to the new link ?by PeterS - HighWire - Bugs

I think this bug (242) no longer occurs. I don't know when it was fixed. Peterby PeterS - HighWire - Bugs
Re: HW 0.3.4 ß4: JPEG display - 3 years ago
I first reported this problem with my HW builds for certain cpus. I suspect either my set-up, my Milan60 or the jpeg library. It doesn't happen here when running some cpu versions on my Milan.by PeterS - HighWire - Bugs
Release of Vn 0.3.4Beta - 3 years ago
Some of you have all ready downloaded this release, the only change since the one from the 17th is that I have added a brief commentary on my small work on Highwire in the html section. Peterby PeterS - HighWire - General

What do the AHCC users do to use CFLIB ?by PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Problems.... - 3 years ago
Ok I will make that change tonight and then just commit my Form.c warts and all. We can make bug fixes if needed but I don't think I have introduced new bugs. Peterby PeterS - HighWire - General

I've never used PureC so I can't help. Jo Even uses it. Maybe you can ask him if you get stuck.by PeterS - HighWire - General

I can view the latest CVS code from the above link but hopefully you will be able to checkout out the code with cvs by now.by PeterS - HighWire - General

Hello, To get the cvs version: In bash: export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@highwire.atari-users.net:/atariforge cvs login Pass word is the same as the user name. I am trying to findout who has permission to alter the webpage so we can get it updated.by PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: another textarea bug - 3 years ago
I think I have seen this one although I couldn't work out what I had to do to make it appear. I don't get bell characters, my font give squares but it's probably the same issue. It might be down to how the cursor position is recalculated but it's a bit knotty.by PeterS - HighWire - Bugs
Re: Long HTTP header / redirect failure... - 3 years ago
A complete guess but this could be either a timer issue, it might be meant to show one page for a few seconds and then redirect you, or possibly a cache issue. I think both areas need some work because they haven't been implemented.by PeterS - HighWire - Bugs
Re: Just a word to the developers... - 3 years ago
I am not sure how many of the original developers are still around. The people to thank are Baldrick and AltF4 who did such great work a few years ago. I am hoping that some people will get involved especially with the Coldari on the horizon. It will make development work a bit less painful and make things like Javascript and other nice stuff a bit more tempting. There's a lot of Mint XaAESby PeterS - HighWire - General

Re: 1st time compile.. - 3 years ago
Are all your environments non-native, ie Windos/Linux running Aranym or similar ? Sorry I am not familiar with Aranym/Afros I only tried to get the Pack3D one working and haven't used it because I couldm't get the network stuff set-up. I did update the aranym.exe a couple of times so it now uses 0.9.9 I can't grasp why you have had such odd problems with setting up the compiling environmeby PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: XaAES themes - 3 years ago
Hi Paul, I haven't been on this forum for a while. I see you are a busy man, working on HW, Xaaes themes and graphics tools like Vision and Smurf. I have these on the Milan but they are also less than stable there. I seem to recall Smurf is ok but Vision is very poor. I used to use GEMView quite a lot on the ST but that isn't good on the Milan either. Seems to be an installation problem, itby PeterS - XaAES
Re: 1st time compile.. - 3 years ago
I created a Sourceforge account and created a highwire project: I was surprised it didn't exist all ready. I am not sure sourceforge will work well with HW (chicken and egg) but I should be able to get the source code uploaded someway. I've a busy week ahead so please be patient.by PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: 1st time compile.. - 3 years ago
I don't know anything about AFROS, I gave up trying to find out what it is other than something to do with Aranym. I tried Aranym 3d or whatever it's called on this office PC and it's rather unpredictable and I gave up trying to get networking working. I have no idea how to use Sourceforge. Sorry. It sounds to me like your "emulator" has problems with cat. I will post a quesby PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Option lists - 3 years ago
I just spotted another problem with Option lists. I don't know how legal the html is but it doesn't work in HW. <option value="Brighton and Hove"> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> England - Brighton </font></option> This causes the list to spill out of the drop-down onto the body of the page. It seems to be caused by the <font faby PeterS - HighWire - Bugs

I would try GCC it compiles fine.by PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Nov 2009 - 3 years ago
I don't understand your description. Are you saying that the text is wiped or that the cursor is moved to the "home" position at the top of the text area ? I've not seen either problem. What sort of machine are you using ? I only compiled for one processor so maybe if you are using a different 680x0 you might get some other problem.by PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Nov 2009 - 3 years ago
Sorry I've not had chance to do any work. I would like to get CVS working properly before I start again otherwise things will get messy. I am not sure what you mean by the textarea resets, are you losing your input ?by PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Update - 3 years ago
Hi Paul, Your knowledge and experience of html and css rendering sounds very useful. I am glad you have taken some time to get to grips with Mint and HW. If I can answer any questions then don't hesitate to ask. The Mintlist is also a good place to get general mint help. There are also HW mailing lists that we can use. I have no experience with Afros. Draconis sources have been made availaby PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Highwire monochrome - 3 years ago
HW doesn't do background images so I assume you mean the page colour. Without looking at the code I guess it might be possible to force the page to always be white when in mono but that presumes black text. Even in colour some pages aren't readable because the background image isn't displayed by HW and the webpage developer has used light text on a light background for instance. I donby PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Update - 3 years ago
That stuff is unchanged since the earlier versions. Once I am more familiar with the way the text input works I might look into the word wrapping issue. It is annoying. Another longer term goal is to get copy and paste working in forms but that requires working out how to highlight text. If you have Mint it is quite easy to install GCC, download the HW source and build it. It would be goodby PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Update - 3 years ago
The speed must be a side-effect. Have a look at the change.log to see what I've done. It's only small changes to the way input is handled in forms and I've added a few extra cursor and editing features. I wasn't able to repeat the login problem that was reported a while back. I wasn't aware that special characters were all ready working before my changes. My changes make HW use NKCC forby PeterS - HighWire - General
Re: Update - 3 years ago
HW does have some caching problems. I don't think it is even implemented fully. ie. pages that should be refreshed automtically aren't. I think pages can also set when they expire etc. I don't think any of that is implemented. For instance, if I login to a site it won't show me as logged in until I refresh the page and this causes all sorts of problems with some webpages. Maybe some use JS.by PeterS - HighWire - General
