Yeah, it is on the list, I call it the Knock Knock feature.  The 
way it works is people can actually sign up before even getting into 
AltME from a website if they want.

Reichart, this list you speak of must be huge by now?

I believe Altme is being rewritten ground up...

so, it might be a couple of years before the next release

Not years.  Yes, List is big, but at least it is getting attacked 
every day.

possibly also some kind of barrier to avoid replying to announcements 
in the announce group

Reichart -- glad to hear Altme is being actively worked on.  I'd 
got the impression from an earlier message of yours (on REBOL2, maybe) 
that Altme was what we used to call "functionally stabilised" (ie 
dead as a development)

Now about some interim releases? Create a sense of progress and momentum.

Actually quite the opposite.

AltME is being rebuilt form the ground up (which is why we don't 
try to fix every little thing on the current version).


We are building it to allow for the integration of applets, and a 
core messaging system to make it more compatible with external applications 
(for example).

Glad to hear that too!

I can state that the the team is in fact working day and night on 
this.  We just don't make a lot of noise when we are working.

Like a Rolls Royce!?

Exactly.

Is there a way for me to make the user column wider by one letter 
...so that the "s" at the end of my name is not orphaned to the next 
line?

not yet, but it will be in the near future.

in the meantime, you could shorten your name :)

Yeah.

I bags "G" :)

Change now or for ever be "grumpy"

You could reduce the name column size and give more space for chatting

Can I do that change myself?

No, I think only R can do that ..

Hey !  omebody took the nake out of my perona :-)

Perhaps he doesn't feel that this is a plural society

THen, Reichart, would you please change my username  to   J-F    
for the time being. thanks J-F

How come when Reichart changed hs name to "R", it was updated everywhere 
and not "Jean-Françoi" ?

I am using large font, so I see you as:
Jean-Fran
	çois

Of the 5 messages I see of yours right now, the first an fifth have 
the 's' on a newline - the other three have it chopped off...

JF, you need backup persona's in case of partial identity theft. 
 That's what I do.

FYI - My server crashed (win2k) just as I was starting Altme, somehow 
all world data was destroyed, and Altme refused to run.  Required 
a re-install.

you lost all your world data?  do you mean your data is all blank? 
 Or was it corrupted?

It was gone completely.

perhaps you're looking in the wrong directory?

It was gone completely.

What method did you use to search for it?

File exploder..didn't spend too much time diagnosing.. perhaps it 
was there somewhere.. but it sure wasn't working.. I recommend that 
you  don't use Altme to control any nuclear reactors without some 
extensive testing.

Current Altme uses a different directory to the early betas. Likely 
the worlds are still there, just in the old location

If files are "gone", they should be found by chkdsk and be in the 
FOUND.XXX directory. But names are lost :-(

chkdsk??  wow, what version of dos are u using?

Terry: I hope nobody uses Win2k to control any nuclear reactor. Win2k 
does crash and removes files being modified. chkdsk works well, but 
you have to analyse all restored files to figure filenames, and files 
are extended to block boundaries. (had to recover an usb zip disk, 
a nightmare) I don't think AltME is fautly here - I never saw any 
Rebol apps trashing filesystem.

Should probably use RTOS for reactor.

not DOS, win2k or XP (ex: scandisk under 9x)

not "ex:" but "ex"

ahhh...  does it have advantages over scandisk?

I find it worst, not as "graphical" (hum, even if it's only semigraphical).
But it handle Fat and NTFS

Why do you saty with this "G" as your name. I ddon't like that so 
much !

Well, it makes it clearer when someone is quoting me :)

Your own nick is an abbreviation as well is it not?

OK Greg

yep

All this conversations are going to become a big confusion. How many 
A B C are reused here.
