Dan's link works in Netscape 2 (Solaris), Netscape 3 (Linux), Netscape 4
(Linux), and Lynx (Linux). It even worked in the circa 1993 CERN
browser "www" (SunOS binary running under Solaris, although www makes
you go through the FTP redirect by hand).
I've had two problems with Dan's URLs: one, a URL posted to DRUMS in
1996 is invalid; two, deleting the filename off of the URL (to hopefully
look at the list of documents in that directory) doesn't work as far as
I know. But these are my fault, and my problem, and do not interfere
with chasing that link.
Surprisingly, the link in your signature appears to be invalid in all of
the above browsers plus "telnet www.wildbear.on.ca 80".
Noted... moved stuff around on the web site, and thought I had updated
my links.
Incidentially, what browser is preventing you from getting that link?
I have tried Netscape 2, 3 and 4, IE 3 and 4, and the latest release
of Opera, all to no avail. Each of them returns that the request was
illegal.
regards,
Jack
