CC: webmaster AT caldera DOT com Sender: owner-opendos AT mail DOT tacoma DOT net Precedence: bulk (copy of this sent to webmaster AT caldera DOT com) Thanks to Colin for posting the URLs pointing to Caldera's OD pages. At least now I can get to some of the information (except the probably cool slide show they prepared ). Sure, OpenDos is compatible with the entire range of x86 processors, -- but is Caldera? On one of the pages (/dos/html/docu.htm) Caldera says: ** When complete the Documentation will be downloadable in Corel Envoy format from this page.** Corel Envoy format??? uh!? Should I be EnVIOus? In the light of recent experience: If the webmaster (or anyone) at Caldera would care to learn a trick or two, they can find some pretty good advice at: http://www.gsa.gov/coca/WWWcode.htm which points to the following document : Writing Accessible HTML Documents, by Paul Fontaine, Center for Information Technology Accommodation General Services Administration. Washington, DC. USA If they also would care to make use of their else excellent FTP server, I think I am not the only one who would appreciate it. (as anyone else, they can make their license agreement the first thing that appears on the users screen the first time the OpenDos software is run, while also include it in the distributed archives as a README.1ST or REDME.NOW file, also include it the Dosbook, make plenty of references to it - etc, etc , you know, whatever. ) Bjorn - Caldera disabled / technologically impaired? - you pick! oh well, (sigh...) Hey, what do you want for nothing? The same as everyone else, plenty! :-) mailto:Bjorn DOT Simonsen AT student DOT uib DOT no
