Dont panic, I've been thinking of it for the past two years but I cant see myself ever doing that. I do have an exclude list using Apache rewrite rules to divert those multi threaded Windows downloaders (and email siphons) to 127.0.0.1 :-) Anyone that mirrors the site also gets there IP added to the firewall drop list as well after the first 200Mb's. It remains in the drop list for one week and is then removed (manually). Cheers IanM http://www.os2site.com/ Nothing is so smiple that it can't get screwed up. **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Sun, 09 Jun 2002 11:50:49 -0400 From: Ted Sikora Subject: Everything is broken! Gimp, Nedit, xv, etc. Is there a way I can add a legacy lib directory to support these apps till they are re-ported? Will they interfere with same name libs? Slack has a glibcso pkg for apps linked with 2.2.3 but these are the c libs nothing else. Any workarounds? -- Ted Sikora tsikora at unixos2.com http://unixos2.com **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Sun, 09 Jun 2002 11:52:47 -0400 From: Ted Sikora Subject: emx env Can someone give me a snippet of their config.sys for emx dev in unixos2? I have some old backups for the old env. This would greatly speed things up for me. -- Ted Sikora tsikora at unixos2.com http://unixos2.com
