I was wondering about that too. I’d like to see more documentation on the program. I like to know what I’m getting into.

It’s VB script; here’s the listing

Sorry, but the damned “verbatim” switch still does’nt work.

It’s supposed to preserve the formatting in discussions, so that listings such as this remain readable.

I suggest that you download the file, and open it in Notepad.

NotePad ++

That’s what I usally use. I find it much ‘fuller’ in features. – but thanks -d

Query re. “Verbatim” switch

In reply to NotePad ++

When TR gave us the switches for [b]bold[/b], [i]italicized[/i], and emoticons, they also announced a Verbatim switch, delimited by [b][v][/b] & [b][/v][/b], for the purpose of having character strings within posts being handled with no translation, so as to preserve, for example, formatting with tabs for readability.

It failed to work when first announced, and has obviously not been implemented using said delimiters.

Do you know of a way to effect such? The VBScript that I posted is much more readable & understandable in the format that I loaded it than it is as it now appears.

That explains it, Thanks…

The VB script, that explains it all now (and probably why I probably won’t use it) I wish that that had been explained better in the first place (Tech-Rep, any one listening?) it could have been stated as such… a VB script to modify (XXXX) or the like. Thanks for that. I don’t know that I would have taken the time to do that, as I had other things going. Here’s a Question for someone, will this then, correct the change brought about in IP config by SP2? Prior to SP2 we had a lot more flexability in setting the config for IP (as well as the firewall settings for indivual LAN connections). I still don’t see multiple IP issues addressed by MicroSoft. (just a sales pitch for their server software) Any way, thanks. (as for the script appearance in your post,… I figured that out, but thanks for pointing it out) -d

It works fine…

make sure that you are really changing the file from txt to hta. It works fine on my system. No installation required.

There is no “installation” per se.

In reply to Using windows Xp Ip Configuration tool

An .hta file is a script file, specically, an HTML application; by changing its extension from .txt to .hta it becomes executable, no matter what icon is displayed.

If it does not execute either you’ve missed named the file, or the download is corrupt, or your OS blocking it.

Right click on the file, and select “Open With”; you should see a choice for “MS HTML Application Host.” Try that and see what happens.

What OS are you runnung?

Me? I use …
