As always, Jordan either you do not know what you are talking about, or 
you know and intentionally lie about it. Ryerson gave the TFN office 6 IP 
addresses. One is used for not, the others were used for a variety of 
'names' that included gts.torfree.net, csas.torfree.net, xor.torfree.net, 
etc. This was documented by tracking them. The results were published in 
the newsgroups long before the TFN had the misfortune of your 
'volunteering'. You can check the archives for these posts. There is no 
guarantee that they are still there.

I do suggest that you actually try 'go url' and type 
http://gts.torfree.net and see where that would lead you, then we can 
talk. Try it ;-()

You know the KISS rule? You are trying to install a program that is 
intended only for Windows and OS/2 on a UNIX machine. Even if you have 
XWindows running, the developers never tested it with that. So, no wonder...

The general membership, like myself, only have Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 
[my apologies to Alex terminal users, DOS suers or Apple users, but they 
are a minority I believe]. Once you have the program, it installs in 2 
minutes and runs smoothly. Even the new 1.2 version - contrary to Jeff's 
assertion that I failed to install it - only requires that you ignore an 
error message that appears in the middle of the installation that the 
setup program cannot find the license file. Just click on ignore and voila...

The reason I am sticking with version 1.15 however is that it is a 
licensed version and I do not have to worry about the nagging 
'unregistered copy' or 'please register' messages. You can also obtain a 
copy of that version (which only differs from version 1.2 in that a 
mailto bug has been fixed; i.e. if you want to be able to send e-mail 
directly from your computer instead of going to a 'mail program') from 
the Finnish Freenet.
