This annoyed the stats generator which temporarily thought he'd scored 3.56%. If you are 'bronson', then please get the Linux distribution from http://www.project4009.de/edownload.htm that includes a reliable results-uploader script.

AySz88 2002-10-03 16:27:40 | Another version of that: there are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not. |

bronson 2002-10-04 01:51:52 | hi! I'm using that very package. I'm running it on debian stable, debian testing and redhat 7.2 / 7.3 systems. Is the package ok? Also the source package doesn't compile under redhat 7.2. Nothing serious It's just missing one #include. How should the linefeeds be handled? I could check what's wrong... Should I shutdown the clients while debugging? Also the packages are named .tgz which is wrong. They are bzip2 compressed tar archives so they should be .tar.bz2. I downloaded the package couple of times and wondered why I can't open it with tar -xzf. If it had been named .tar.bz2 then tar -xjf would have been obvious. Anyone interested in some kind of script for checking for new version and autoinstalling? I have seven boxes for this project and manually installing is bit of a pain. Some of the machines are connected with 9600 bps serial cables with tcp/ip over ssh over tcp/ip over ppp so uploading new version takes quite long.

Stephen Brooks 2002-10-04 04:31:27 | Hmm maybe your FTP client has a different text/binary default setting than others. When I download the files from the FTP server, I use the default setting of the Windows FTP client (which is probably ascii) to do so, and Muon1 uploads using "ascii" mode.

Stephen Brooks 2002-10-04 04:55:21 | Aha, I've just got an e-mail from [Muon.FG]7F4 (Ronny) about this:Hm, the manualsend script from maverick seems to have still some bugs, This seems to describe the sort of problem I am having here.
