| AOL 4.0 was sagt der Autor dazu ? (von: Thomas, 08:11:24) | « ^ » |
| Auf meine Anfrage ob es ein Scherz ist wegen der 64 BIT habe ich folgende Antwort bekommen. (rechtlich verstehe ich AOL, dennoch sollten sie froh sein wenn Sie kostenlos ein Frontend -was auch noch aussieht wie AOL- bekommen):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ No, It is not a joke. It will dial, but, I did not include the dial DLL. I wanted to do it first TCPIP and contacted AOL about it. I told them what I was doing because I saw a need for an OS/2 version and sent them what I had. The same thing that is on Hobbes. A week or so later I got a letter in the mail from AOL lawyers saying that I will stop using any and all graphics and any development, and will not do anything to connect to AOL. It pissed me off. So I posted what I had to Hobbes to see if anyone would get behind me to develop an OS/2 version. I still use OS/2 at home more than I use Windoze 98. I use AOL for Win3.1 under OS/2 and would really like to use a native version. I feared that if I included the dial DLL that AOL might legally have a case against me. So, No dial DLL. I am working on using parts of Moziilla as the Internet browser, even though AOL uses Internet explorer. I feel that since it really doesn't do anything at this point that AOL really can't do anything other than say stop. The program does not defame AOL in anyway. I think that is what they are afraid of also. I haven't figured out the TCP/IP connection yet. It would help if I had a sniffer that I could put on my network to see what goes out and comes back in. But, I don't have a spare 10 grand for the sniffer. I do connect but I get a reject immediately. I am also fearful that AOL will end up tracing me. The dial portion dials and will connect to AOL modems But I don't send any packets so the AOL modem will drop in about 5 minutes or less. I am hoping that enough people will download it and say that they would like me to continue. I don't ask for any money from AOL nor anyone. Maybe I should talk to IBM and see I could get some backing support from them. So, that is my story. How bad would you like to see a version for OS/2. As for the 64 bit, AOL told me that they didn't want another 16 bit program to keep up with. They didn't understand that OS/2 was the first 32 bit operating system. So, I said it was 64 bit instead of 32 bit. They didn't know. But, I do hear that the next version of OS/2 is going to be 64 bit. I am using VisualAge C++ to compile which is only 32 bit, So, it is in fact only 32 bit until there is a 64 bit compiler. I will keep you posted if you would like me too.
