Failed Outgoing E-Mail.

No-Frame * Framed Index * Frame This
Links within this site :-

Inbound

My news articles currently carry a working Reply-To: address which will work for about 3 weeks. Their From: header lines, being readily harvested for spam, give an address which not longer accepts mail. To address E-mail to me, see index.htm#Mail. Those who have been directly given other addresses, except as below, should use them.

E-Mail should not now be addressed to jrs@ / news@ / spam@; it will not be received.

E-Mail without an appropriate Subject line may not be read.

E-Mail from an address apparently typical of throwaway or spamming accounts will not be read.

E-Mail should be plain ASCII text; HTML and multi-part mail, and unexpected attachments, are unwelcome.

Outbound

This reports some failures to send E-mail, independently of the possible location of the cause. If any relate to you, R.S.V.P., preferably with a working E-address.

    retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

I believe MS uses a count of 100 ns units from 1601-01-01 (Proleptic) Gregorian.

As a signed integer, it will fail within the second Thu 30828-09-14 02:48:05

As an unsigned integer, it will fail within the second Sun 60056-05-28 05:36:10

These are listed in my critdate.htm.

Conversion is, no doubt, by division and remainder to get Day hh:mm:ss.s Then by one of the many algorithms to get date from daycount; some of these are in my programs/dateprox.pas.

  Operation timed out: retry timeout exceeded

I don't really know what you mean by a BP document; and I have from time to time unsuccessfully sought a solution to what may be a similar problem - though I don't use Excel or Word myself.

I used to know something about the use of xxxxxxxxx XXs.

It sounds as if your BP program produces the curves on paper, which can, depending on your printer, be done in many ways. I have, in the past, used Borland graphics routines to draw on the graphics screen, them scanned it with GetPixel for output to a printer; such a scan could be used to convert to a graphics format. There is also GetImage, probably quicker.

Also, I believe that the BMP format is a simple, uncompressed bit-map, and if so it would be easy enough to write it either from a screen-scan or direct from original data. Many Windows graphics tools would then be able to read it as BMP and output in a more compact format better for sending (but harder to write directly).

Graphics file formats may still be at http://www.wotsit.org/ or http://whatis.techtarget.com/ - surprise! there is also information in BP7 On-Line Help, via "Graphics-File-Formats". You could draw small, simple pictures with Windows Paint or Paintbrush to check understanding of the format.

I'm assuming that you have no problem with text.

You might do better to ask in Usenet, in news:comp.lang.pascal.borland; someone might have written a graphics driver that outputs a suitable format.

Thanks.  I've now installed Firefox, and have tested all parts of all
pages containing "<script".  Quite a few similar errors, and some
others, are now fixed - as far as I know everything should be fine apart
from imperfections of layout.  So do let me know of any more that you
find!
