Apologies for posting this rather than e-mailing flinny direct, but I expect
other people may need answers to this as well.
I have been trying in vain to upload the new CAB 1.02b from alexander claus'
home page. I currently use CAB 1.01a and suffer from 'runtime errors' reported
as soon as I select his URL (and many others such as webcrawler) . Flinny was
most helpfull in suggesting this bug had been fixed and that I needed CAB 1.02
but I have been trying for over a month now to download this package. Apart from
alex's page being un-available I have also tried to get the software from
flinnys home page. This caused CAB to crash as soon as the CAB102B.LZH file was
clicked on. I have swampdogs utility for dealing with the moving and renaming of
binary files installed and this has worked with other uploads.
I got so desperate for this software that I asked a friend with a PC and
netscape to get the files for me. apart from the fact that everything went so
slow that his server disconnected him several times after 1/2 hour of
downloading (a function of the GEC server he was using), he finally got a copy
of the files only to find that the LZH file was unable to be decoded due to
corruption. This was not a one-off as this happened 5 times (taking over a week
for the attempts) the file was got from flinnys page as well with the same
results. Anyway, can anyone tell me where to get the software from (preferably
an FTP site) or can I get it on a floppy disk via snail-mail I would gladly pay
for postage/media in order to try an uncorrupted version of this software.
Thanx.
