Re: [NTLK] NetHopper Character Sets and eMate

Would all of that be solved by using Newtscape?

Subject: Re: [NTLK] NetHopper Character Sets and eMate

I tried Joe's recommendation of reloading the NetHopper and NHCharsets
packages in a different order. If I remove NetHopper and NHCharsets
from the eMate then reload them using NCX, the packages work fine.
However, rebooting the eMate produces the incompatibility message and
the NHCharsets package does not load. Additionally, I tried installing
the ZNHPatch to see if the NHCharsets patch also needed this package
in order to work: it produces the same error on a reboot.
I did, however, find a work-around. I used Standalone's Freeze
Utilities For NewtonOS v1.5:

        http://standalone.com/newtonos/

Install the NetHopper plugins and dismiss the error messages after a
reboot. Then freeze the NHCharsets and ZNHPatch packages. If you need
them, you can thaw them and they will work. I confirmed that they
worked by rebooting the eMate with the packages frozen, thawing them,
and loading google.com in NetHopper. Without the plugins NetHopper
will not load google; with them the page loads.

While I do not plan to do much heavy-duty web browsing on the eMate, I
have found that many of the conferences I attend require you to first
authenticate through a web browser before you can use the wireless
network. Most recently I ran into this issue at the Florida
Educational Technology Conference and I was unable to live blog on my
eMate using NBlog because I could not load the web page using Courier.
Past experience proves that NetHopper allows both redirects as well as
filling out forms. See here:

I hope this is helpful.
