I'm working with a Nettamer user I've known for a number of years; he
lives in the hinterlands of South Africa -- hinterlands equates to
Internet Yes, World Wide Web NO. He's limited to e-mail and snail mail.
Thanks to glennmcc I will soon be sending a number of CDs to South
Africa.
One of the projects he asked for help on was learning assembly. No, I
don't know assembly but I Google well. <g> I am in the process of
douwnloading a 25 chapter course on Assembly Language; each chapter has
three to ten parts; each chapter has illustrations I want to include
also -- with the hope that his wife may be able to explain them in such
a way that he can better understand what they are supposed to
illustrate. Thus, I'll be putting together a CD filled with html pages,
all nicely linked together.
But he can't use Nettamer to read it and see graphics.
The favor: He now has a pentium machine, so machine speed isn't an
aspect. But I'm rather tied up right now, and I'd really appreciate
someone being willing to volunteer to put together an Arachne 1.73 reader,
no need for tcp/ip, no need for e-mail, no need for the web ... need to be
able to easily navigate to the CD drive, and there be able to use the html
TOC and all the entire 'text book'. It should be a "boot disk & run"
configuration. There should be adequate memory for a RAMdrive.
If anyone is willing to volunteer for this grunge job, please let me
know. Then if you have questions I can pass then on and get your
answers for you. The end result of all the sweat & strain should be a
bootable diskette that loads the Arachne interface plus the CD I will
burn that contains the many chapter sections and graphics all set to the
almost original [I'll be removing frames & all javascripting] on-line
text.
Think of it as being something few people in the world can do, and you
are one of the few.
Please get back to me private e-mail ...
Can't stay and chat -- have a whole bunch of work sitting in front of me
demanding my attention!! <G>
