I don't know about you guys, but for Usenet, I'm using Forte Agent V.1.93, whose latest copyright date is 2002. |

If you're DSCP in an IP ToS world, 6 bits is all you get. (At least it's the upper 6 bits, so there's that.) |

@4ax.com: all the pictures are in the DCIM/101Photo directory. What does 101Photo mean? It looks like the name you used when you tried to rename the folders on the SDcard. You said in another post: "I thought it would be efficient to rename the directory in the camera and create a new one with the name 101Photo." |

It looks like the name you used when you tried to rename the folders on the SDcard. You said in another post: "I thought it would be efficient to rename the directory in the camera and create a new one with the name 101Photo." I didn't choose the name first. I only named the new one that because that's what the original one was named. The same directory name is used in the camera and the phone, so I'll bet it has some significance. Maybe the first digital storage of photos involved 101 Dalmations, or something like that. |

I dont think so but there are a lot of settings I don't understand.

Like wearing a pair of comfortable shoes. I have to say that when the browswers are slow or freezing, and even Eudora can slow dow, Agent is always working. It gives me something to do other than Solitaire when the others are stymied. |

BUT: those aren't really ASCII, which only goes to 127 (7F), though the next 128 are often referred to as "extended ASCII", but don't display the same to all; and, they may get corrupted as they pass through various parts of usenet, and news client software. They may get converted to a sequential representation of their code in printable characters (0xFF, $255, A$255, etc.), to different characters, to pairs of different characters, to a common "unknown character" character (a square or question mark are common), or to nothing at all. shurely someone could use that in a smiley (8 =8-?
