HTMLview.mcc for OS3 is hosed! Can't run AmRSS!

[Rabbi]

Did anyone even notice that the MCC_HTMLview.lha file on both SourceForge & Aminet is hosed for us OS3 users?

I get an error that the Beta version that I'm using is older than 3 months & to d/l the latest version from http:/www.diku.dk/students/duff which give me a "404 - Page not found" (in danish?) error.

When I run the latest version of AmRSS, which requires HTMLview.mcc, version 13+ it crashes.

When I did a "VERSION" command of the files HTMLview.mcc & HTMLview.mcp this is what I got:

New Shell process 10
10.Workbench:> version Ram:HTMLview.mcc full
HTMLview.mcc 12.5 (09/07/99)
(07-Sep-99)
10.Workbench:> version Ram:HTMLview.mcp full
HTMLview.mcp 13.4 [020] (12/20/07)
Copyright (C) 2005-2007 HTMLview.mcc Open Source Team
10.Workbench:>

(Now obviously when I ran AmRSS, I had these MCC & MCP in the correct directory, but for illustrations sake & brevity of doing a "VERSION" command, I copied them into RAM:)

It appears that HTMLview.mcc is hosed (no good), but HTMLview.mcp is OK.

Where can I obtain a version of HTMLview.mcc for OS3, version 13.4, so that I can run AmRSS???

Has *ANYONE* got the latest version or AmRSS, 5.57 to run in OS3??  I've got OS3.9BB2.

Ugh, HTMLView... that brings back some bad memories. I had a hell of a time tracking down a working set of archives a number of years ago.

Seems I've got v12.6 of the .mcc (Jan 3, 2000), but I can't remember where I got it. It might have been from this old thread (thanks blobrana!), but now that link is unfortunately out of commission as well. I can't find that archive on my hard drive, but I'd be happy to send you the .mcc itself.

It doesn't generate beta timeout messages (from what I can tell), but if AmRSS demands v13.x, there's probably not much you can do until the v13.x 68K build is fixed.

One last thing to try: use the v12.x .mcc with a v12.x .mcp. Don't know if that'll help, but it might be worth a shot.

Nothing you mentioned will resolve it short of someone compiling it & replacing the defective .lha archive file.  Are you listening, Jens L.?

@Rabbi
I have HTMLview.mcc 12.6 and HTMLview.mcp 12.5 working fine with AmRSS 5.57.  I'm using OS3.9.  Hope that helps.

 Maybe you guys are looking for this? :rtfm:

@ rkauer

Nope, that's the same as what's on Aminet - the 68K version inside is still 12.5

I use OS4.1 & the ppc version of amrss. The new HTMLview.mcc IS hosed & I had to fall back to version 12.6, 68k version. HTMLview.mcp v13.4 is fine, version 12.6 is on aminet.

The ppc version of YAM also uses a codesets lib & the newer versions also crash amrss. I'd say amrss is at fault given all the newer files that crash it & Jen's isn't responsible for amrss.

Is that the version of HTMLview.mcc supplied in the AmRSS archive? If not, did you try that one? As I recall alfie did his own version.

[AmigaMance]

I wasn't aware that there's a v5.57 of AmRSS. I'm using version 5.22 and i don't have any problems from HTMLview.mcc v12.6 or codesets.library v6.7.
 Perhaps the best solution for you right now is to use this AmRSS version.

try on Alfonso [alfie] Ranieri Home Page

[Matt_H]

version 12.6 is on aminet

No, it isn't. The archive is labelled as being 12.6, but it actually contains 12.5b.

EDIT: Ah, but the amrss68K.lha archive does contain 12.6.

[sundown]

Just checked & you're right.

I just tried the latest 68k version on os4 & I still get the crash with the latest HTMLview.mcc lib. Ashame as I really liked amrss. I'll use the older lib until I get XNet for os4 figured out. Good luck to you os3.x users with this problem.

Same here, except I have BB2 as well. Everything works fine here ...

The version Alfie R. did was for MOS, not OS3.x.

AmigaMance,

Please send me v5.22 of AmRSS.  My e-mail address is listed in my account; just choose to view my account, and no, that's not my picture.  It's a picture of the late French comedian Louis Fuenes (sp?) in "The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob".
