WinDiff screenshot

Hoi Gerbrant,

Your WinDiff screenshot is a bit confusing. This should be a Windows program, but I can clearly see Macintosh controls. Is this a Macintosh skin, or a Macintosh port of the program? -- Peter 21:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a Mac skin. You will notice that there are some differences between a Mac window and the skin, e.g. the colored buttons are on the right (on a Mac they are on the left). I'm so used to this skin that I didn't even think about it. Do you think it's really necessary to switch to one of the default skins? I'd rather not do that though, because it took some fiddling to get Windows to recognize the skin (Windows is a bit fascist about non-Microsoft-approved skins). Should I put a comment on the image description page? Shinobu 07:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tja, I just got a bit confused by it. Maybe a comment would be a good point. -- Peter 10:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oké, a comment it will be. Groetels, Shinobu 11:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HTML

Hi Pbb, first thanks a lot for digging up the 2 Jun 1992 draft of the HTML DTD. You asked for a citation in your edit [1]. I now added the missing sources, but the wiki seems not to like AFS links, neither in the afs://... scheme nor if I use file:///afs/... instead. Do you have any idea about how to get these links to work? --rtc (talk) 23:31, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You already found the right protocol, it's the Andrew File System... it's a generic remote filesystem accesss protocol similar to NFS and it can be accessed in hyperlinks just like a local file using the file:///afs/ path (once you installed AFS support on your system). I'm not sure specifying afs:// has ever been supported or actually in use, but it seems to be correct, too, at least in theory. I found this some time ago, it may be possible that they shut it down already... But just in case I made a full backup (320 MB). --rtc (talk) 10:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The lost-contact AFS gateway which didn't work when I added the links is now working again. So I replaced the links to use this gateway: http://lost-contact.mit.edu/afs/cern.ch/w3.org/www/Frame/fminit2.0/html.dtd http://lost-contact.mit.edu/afs/cern.ch/w3.org/www/MarkUp/Connolly/921125/archive.sh#html.dtd --rtc (talk) 11:19, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Perhaps you are interested in this; it's a list with all known "traditonal" HTML versions (ie., from before HTML 3) that I made:

[2.2]	13 Jun 1994	Id: html.dtd,v 1.16 1994/06/13 20:55:50 connolly Exp
	This is the first version to split the DTD into html.decl, html.dtd, html-0.dtd and html-1.dtd (The RCS comment mentions html-2.dtd instead of html-0.dtd, but that must have been a typo). The toplevel html.dtd mainly includes html-1.dtd, which in turn includes html-2.dtd, so everything is now scattered over these three files.
