430.0. "Help needed for new noters" by TRUCKS::SANT (a legend in his own lunchtime) Wed Aug 03 1994 17:14

    
    	One of our RONs (read-only noters) wishes to contribute to
    	this conference. He may not be worldly-wise in things technical,
    	so don't baffle him with technogarb. He only has All-in-1 
    	access so please restrict advice to appropriate commands.
        He knows about the TRUCKS::NOTES_HELP conference, the problems 
    	he is encountering are more basic...
    
    	Trouble is his notes don't seem to be allowed to be added to
    	the conference. Anyone got any advice? Mr Mods?
    
    	If this is not the right place to ask, slap my legs by all means
    	but help him out - please!
    
    	Andy.

	Somebody decided to create a "new" football conference on node
	TRUCKS ( no names no packdrill ). What we now need is someone with
	privs on TRUCKS to either;

	a/ remove the offending file

                    or

	b/ rename TRUCKS::FOOTBALL.NOTE to 

   	   TRUCKS::MAYBE_SOMEONE_SHOULD_LOOK_AT_THE_SECURITY_ON_NOTES$LIBRARY_
                   ON_THIS_NODE_BEFORE_IT_HAPPENS_AGAIN


   

       I wouldn't like to see the creation of conferences like UK_POSTCODES
       popping up all over the place.



       Heres to the 20th,

       Stuart

    	I dunno if this is the right place to enter this but we'll go for it.
    
    	I get a big problem with some replies when lines are longer than 80
    characters there is no autowrap, and I always miss the ending of these
    lines. Often I can guess what the ends of the lines are but sometimes I
    can't, and I end up not understanding what the note is about. Do any of
    you technical bods out there know what causes this, and is there any
    way of correcting it at my end i.e. SET AUTOWRAP or some other option ?

It's cos alot of us use DECwindows notes now which has a greater line
length than the traditional 80 characters.

I don't believe there is a workaround for you other than for you
to use windows or us to be more careful.

The following line is more than 80 characters generated from windows notes
which should confirm what I've just said hopefully.

    	So, Si, I see.
    
    	What is your maximimum line length now ? If it is not much greater
    than 80 I can probably live with it, otherwise I may need some help on
    booting up a windows version of notes. (I have a common or garden
    lesser spotted DEC workstation btw.)

Malc,

If you can't be bothered with the totally tedious DW interface, you can always 
use the editor to read and wrap - type REPLY, wrap the contents, and Quit - or 
indeed reply, as you often do!

    	I can't seem to make the Decwindows thing work, there must be some
    sort of override somewhere which is blocking it. However I have seen it
    before and didn't like it very much so I'll stick with the character
    cell version and try this 'read and wrap' idea. I've found out that
    EXTRACT will extract a full size file so I can use that in extremis.
    
    Grahame
    
    	I agree the DW version is a pain in the neck and I will try your
    suggestion but ...
    
    > or indeed reply, as you often do!
    
    Now this wouldn't happen to be some sort of sly dig, would it ? Moving
    to Zurich and skulking away over there behind a daft node name will not
    save you from a verbal clogging should the situation merit it. Don't
    mess with me, big boy !

430.9ZUR01::ASHGrahame Ash @RLETue Mar 14 1995 15:338
Hi Malc,

No, of course it wasn't a sly dig - your notes are always a joy to read and 
brighten up my skulking-filled days. Please continue.

(STILL not a sly dig!)

Hi Jon,

Until I get found out I suppose! It's a permanent transfer.

430.12probably swapped him for Marc hottiger?AIMTEC::WICKS_AAtlanta's Most (In)famous WelshmanWed Mar 15 1995 14:337
    and did anyone in high places get a mysterious wad of notes at a motorway
    service station in exchange for this transfer?  should the f.a or
    inland revnue begin an investigation now.
    
    regards

Well, it certainly wasn't me - though I heard my agent was last heard 
somewhere in Scandinavia . . .

One of the entertaining things about being here is that the paper always 
reports on how "Marc Hottiger's Newcastle" got on.
