[ REQ 5849]: Re: Webspace...

[munzner at weevil.Stanford.EDU]

Hi folks, 
 The last few times I've tried sending mail to the weboogl alias, I
get this bounce message telling me that the log file is unsafe. The
mail is not appended to the log. What's up? Is this easily fixable? 
Here's the listing of that file.

abel [10] [/u/munzner/text/talks/sig95/course] -> ls -l !$
ls -l /u/www/adm/weboogl.log
-rwSrw-r--    1 burchard mlist      45903 Sep 22  1995 /u/www/adm/weboogl.log


Below is an example of the mail I get back from the daemon. 

You can, of course, declare this a non-critical item given that
weboogl doesn't exactly seem to be the top GC priority these days, but
just wondering why it should suddenly stop working.

If you're still looking for a solution, let me be more explicit. You
would need to do the following:
 "woogl2oogl < out2.oogl > good.out2.oogl"
 "geomview good.out2.oogl"
if you want to run geomview directly from the command line. The
weboogl.perl setup automates this translation from the WebOOGL to the
OOGL file format, so it happens automatically if you were to load the
out2.oogl file from a Web browser like Mosaic or Netscape.
