Well, for one, I like this idea of having people able to post
information anonymously. I hope that more people will utilize
this avenue, and start to post more good information like this.
With reference to the article, I am wondering a few things.
Number one, assuming that this person is using an IBM machine,
what type of software are you using to break the data apart, or
even view it? I have tried numerous terminal packages, and all
have provided me with alot of garbage. The occasional story is
clear (with those odd characters seperating words), but aside
from that, the screen clears constantly and is usually
unreadable. I would be very interested in a package that would
let me watch the entire stream as it goes by.
My second question is to the anonymous poster. Again, assuming
this person is breaking the stream apart on an IBM, would they
be willing to offer the executable or code that they are using
to gather quotes and articles?
