- AUDIOLINK
- plays audion realtime with totally fantastic quality.
Though there is a catch - only authors have access to encoder,
and therefore song selection is limited to few japanese ones.
(Sometime in 96) It's been almost 6 months since player got stuck on the alpha version. Links to the songs stopped working. Looks like AudioLink was not meant to be.
05/30/97 Yep, their site became 404. Too bad.
- DOSLYNX -
a dynosaurus, written in pre-Winsock times. Can be use to let
DOS-based LAN users read your HTML page.
12 June 1997. You are probably thinking that nothing interesting is taking place on the DOS front ? Wrong! Ever since free OpenDOS system came out DOS web browsers started to appear, including graphical ones.
- FINGERPLAN -
for people with dynamic IP, runs when connection is established
and puts current IP to Unix in .plan file. I used it to make
link to my FTP site. This util expires every 2 weeks, so I ended
up writing my own program to do the same thing.
5 June 1997 Next Generation - I discovered OLINE.
-
FREEWAY FTP SERVER -
Looks cute, but refuses to work with browsers.
- FTPSERVU-
another demon. If you allow anonymous access, it will let user
access your entire disk. So be careful.
- HTMLDRV - not a bad idea - allows to print from any windows program to HTML driver. Yet implementation is dismal.
- Vermillion FTP server -
new thingie, I tried it instead of
WSFTPD. First impression - what a colossus!
Second impression - unregistered version allows only 1 user and 15 minutes connection time. Recycle bin it is. - VRML -
(1996) Sometimes I think that entire talk about
VRML - is a giant conspiracy to pull my leg.
I tried a binch of VRML viewers and none of them worked.
The most interesting i saw from them - is
General Protection Fault.
(1997) Well, I got it working, but boy, is it SLOW!
One guy from InfoWorld said about all this:
"VRML - Boldly going where no one needs to go". - WEBPHONE - Looks pretty, but behind that prettiness lies the most confusing interface on this side of the Big Dipper.
