Post by: andyj on August 21, 2013, 06:15:59 PM: I'm having trouble with aterm when using Xorg 7.73d in a VMware VM when open-vm-tools is running. The text becomes garbled when the window fills up. I read on the internet that a Heisenberg compensator may help with the instability. I'm having to use xterm for now. Please help.

Maybe i create command line and fltk interface for this forum. Also you can read this forum with wap interface and command line browser like w3m.

Post by: Lee on August 22, 2013, 09:42:30 AM: Hmmm... I thought the reaction seemed a little hasty (but perhaps still on target). Not being blind, I recognized the nature of reply #2 - but (and I'm sad to admit it) I still had to use google on the Heisenberg compensator.

In the mean time, aulitk - have you been "lurking", and perhaps your forum stats belie your experience with Core? :)

With a text web browser there are often formatting problems (quotes for example), it would probably need quite a bit of fine-tuning to be usable. And then there is also latency: I'd prefer it to be more like email, where I get all messages cached on my computer.

I didn't get around doing anything likewise, one possible reason is that I planned to integrate it in this email-system which proved to never mature enough for my needs.

Hrm? Not sure what you mean, I happen to use mostly elinks (and occasionally links), not only to read forum, but also to post.

Post by: hiro on August 23, 2013, 04:29:04 AM: You're right, my other html to text conversion didn't know about the html blockquote tag.
if I do wget -qO- http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=recent;start=0 | html2text
the quotes are indented, thus everything is fine.

Post by: aulitk on August 23, 2013, 03:49:53 PM: Hi again. I will not answer questions on this topic for now. For now, my project is an Simple Machines Forum browser with GUI. I will use Python and FLTK.
