Possible spammer on Mantis

Hi guys,

A user called "samual" has added a comment to Mantis issue 2834 that
leads me to think that it is a spammer.

Looks like it was a corrupt install.
All now working when copied from a previous disk.

[A9home-list] WebsterXL

Anyone managed to get WebsterXL fully working?

I have version 1.99U15.
WebsterXL loads an all. But when attempting to fetch a page, Webfetch
just locks up the system. Have tried it with and without proxy.

I thought this thread was specifically to do with online converters that
will run on NetSurf, which has more to do with the limitations of NetSurf
than the converters themselves.

A reminder to all: This mailing list is about NetSurf, and is not a
general RISC OS support group, and that my advice for opening docx files
and similar is to buy a computer that can run LibreOffice.

I haven't used it for a while, but I just tried it on a file from the
Office of National Statistics and so far as I can tell, it worked -
however, the resulting file was so huge (30 pages in !ViewXLS) that
Fireworkz ran out of memory before managing to convert and generate all
30 Excel sheets, while !ViewXLS only displays the text labels and not
the formula results.

It is better to wear out than to rust.

I'm a horses for courses kind of guy...

Why don't you go to MS-Windows where DocX files are native creatures,
it'll save a lot of faffing about.

I still use RISC OS for lot of things, but there are areas of endeavour
where RISC OS is a waste of time; So I gave up wasting my time years ago
and went Win side for those particular things.

Dave

Years ago... Had I not been able to apply the Horses for courses with
regard to some of the things I do, I would have completely dumped RISC OS.
