<h1>Troubleshooting</h1>
|
|
|
|
1. <em>When I click on a recipe or example file (ending in .c),
|
|
it doesn't display correctly in my browser and/or it opens
|
|
an inappropriate external application.</em><p>
|
|
|
|
<font size="-1">
|
|
You need to teach your browser how to handle C files with
|
|
.c and .h extensions.
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>In Netscape (version 4.XX -- similar in other
|
|
versions), you go to Edit/Preferences...
|
|
and choose Navigator/Applications. Now go to step 3.
|
|
|
|
<li>For Microsoft Internet Explorer, you go to View/Folder Options...
|
|
from the menu bar of any open folder (not from Microsoft Internet
|
|
Explorer!). Choose File Types. Now go to step 3.
|
|
|
|
<li>Highlight, and then page
|
|
through with down arrow, all the file types, looking for any
|
|
that list extension "C" or "H" under "File type details".
|
|
If you find one, then Edit it. If you don't find one, then
|
|
create a New Type. In either case set the MIME type to
|
|
text/plain, and be sure that the extensions are .c and .h .
|
|
|
|
<li>For Netscape, now choose whether to display the file within
|
|
Netscape, or to use an external application. In the latter
|
|
case, you might choose a simple text editor (notepad, emacs, etc.),
|
|
or you might choose a C development environment (Microsoft Visual
|
|
C++, etc.). If you want the option of saving the file to disk
|
|
as the default, then check the "Ask me" box.
|
|
|
|
<li>For Microsoft Internet Explorer, now edit or create an
|
|
action named "open", and choose an external application to
|
|
use. You might choose a simple text editor (notepad, emacs, etc.),
|
|
or you might choose a C development environment (Microsoft Visual
|
|
C++, etc.).
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
If these instructions are not sufficient, you'll need to consult
|
|
the help files for your browser. All our source code files
|
|
are plain text files with conventional extensions.<p>
|
|
|
|
</font>
|
|
|
|
2. <em>OK, I can see the files, but how do I save selected
|
|
files to (e.g.) a working directory for a programming project?</em><p>
|
|
|
|
<font size="-1">
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li> If you are already displaying the contents of the file,
|
|
go back to where you see a browser page with a link to the file.
|
|
<li> For Netscape, hold down the Shift key and then left-click on
|
|
the link. You will get a Save As dialog box from which you
|
|
can select a destination folder.
|
|
<li> For Microsoft Internet Explorer, right-click on the link,
|
|
and then choose Save Target As in the context menu. You will get
|
|
a dialog box from which you can select a destination folder.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
If this doesn't work, you can always just get out of your
|
|
browser and copy the files from their folders to your
|
|
destination folder. They are not in any way encoded.<p>
|
|
</font>
|
|
|
|
3. <em>Your links are all messed up! The links are in lower-case,
|
|
but the file names are in upper case. (Or: some of your links
|
|
are longer than 8 letters, but the file names are truncated to
|
|
8 letters.)</em><p>
|
|
|
|
<font size="-1">
|
|
This should never happen in Windows. If it happens in UNIX
|
|
or Linux, it means that you are using a Windows (not UNIX/Linux)
|
|
version of the CDROM, and that you have mounted it incorrectly,
|
|
without mapping the file system to long file names and upper/lower
|
|
case. Since the Windows disk is not licensed for use on UNIX/Linux
|
|
systems at all, we can offer you no assistance.<p>
