That's a compiler (or library, actually) bug. You should be able to copy a
null string.

and having the PC as part of the general register set - even if it is a

such an idea, if memory serves.

I haven't figured the use for that as an email account isn't want you need
to post to a USENET newsgroup or read from a newgroup.

You're right, but still, if the UK could pass a law to make spam illegal, it
would at least cause ripples to the US and every where else in the world.

Four letter words. They do wonders with spammers.

Sorry... I've only got two right now. And usually, I have one, but I had to
get one at Geocities as it's not ISP-dependant, and I'm moving to Guyana, so
during travel, I'll be suffeirng withdrawel from the Internet.
Does anyone have a 386 portable somewhere stateside that I could buy?

OK, Tony, send me a spare card reader and I'll stop foaming at the
mouth about this. :-) Leave the file formats to me; that's been
my speciality for the last fifteen years!

On Commodore Monitors for C128D.
If you can find one you would want to get a Commodore 1902/a, 1084, or 2002.
They support the RGBI (80 column video) as well as the split-composite (40
column video) the 128 produces. Magnavox produced much of the 1084 line and
had a Magnavox model available (something like professional 80 column monitor,
the front panel on mine is missing so I don't have the name). Regardless If
you want to use both 40 and 80 column video, best to get one of the
multi-function monitors, else you will need an RGBI and a composite montor
(which by the way the C= 128 can display to both simultaneously as they are
different video controllers at work.)
On CP/M 3.0+.
Really nice version; can read a variety of popular CP/M disk formats using
the 1571 disk drive. If you plan to use 3.5" disks I guggest you look for a
later version the the versoion supplied with the 128D, there are no support
drivers for the 1581 (can't boot of of it etc.)
Also "GO 64" gets you only to the Commodore 64 mode. you either place your
CP/M disk in the drive before power-up or after power-up type "BOOT" in 128
mode to boot the operating system disk. (note make sure the 40/80 column key
is down on power-up to ensure the 128 starts up in 80 column mode. :)

This is very off topic, but anyway: Write a letter to the government. Reply
to the spammers, say that you don't care about the shit that they're sending
you, you're not reading it, and you think that they're very disreputable and
that it's a wrong way of doing business. 2) Get a free e-mail account, such
as http://www.hotmail.com , http://www.rocketmail.com or a free one that you
can get with a web site, from a business or ISP, etc. or Yahoo! or the like.
Us that for Usenet, and if you get a private message there, talk to 'em that
way.

Ah foo! Everytime I think I've plugged the source for spam I find
something like this. This explains where the porno sex spammers that
use @earthlink.com are getting the address from.
That bunch is annoys me as I get that garbage 5-6 times a day.
Any suggestions on how to stop it?
