Sorry man, no Windows around here. What are you trying to send?

Make it a non-self-extracting ZIP file if you can. Or a TAR file. I'm
not on Windows, so I can't use anything that self extracts, and I don't
think I can use RAR either for that matter.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop though,

I have software that can fix the links automatically. Go ahead and send
it.

Also, you should send the zip file because if I find someone with
windows and want to take it to them, I've had some trouble with moving
executables from my computer to other people's, but I've never had any
trouble with Zip files. I also don't trust executables. You never know
what might happen to your email while it's going over the internet, you
know! I'd rather have a zip file just on principle. Besides, that
executable was like 5 MB in size. I have a modem at home, so it'll take
forever to download that, and I bet a lot of that is just the extra
crap that makes it self-extracting.
I'd appreciate it if you'd just send the Zip file, especially if all
that's wrong with it is that the links are broken. If I'm reading along
and I come to a bad link, I can see what it's trying to do and just go
open that file separately. If I could get the stuff at home, I could
even fix the links to be relative and send it back to you, so that
it'll work on any computer.
Also, the only people who I know with Windows are getting a Mac soon
anyway, and I don't think I'll have time to get down there and use it
before they replace it.
Are you sure you can't just send the Zip file?

Cool. Maybe I'll put it online for you. What sort of access to the
server do you need?
Let me read some of it tonight before I make up my mind. This is
probably exactly what we want on the server.

You already told me that. :)

I might. Let me see what I'm doing tonight.

In Unix, we have a program "sed" for "stream editor" which is capable
of some pretty amazing feats of search and replace. I should be able to
do them all automatically. We'll see.

Well, they probably look fine. I haven't seen 'em yet. Besides, people
aren't there for the visuals.

Yeah, I've looked some of it over. I'm willing to host it but there
will be some rules, basically, no file sharing that could get us into
trouble, because that would affect all of us on this server. I also
will have to talk it over with the other admin.
If you have the money for it, you might want to buy your own domain
name (I dunno, victortheliberator.com or something). If you're
interested in doing that, let me know and I can help you get that set
up, it'll probably cost $25 for a year, or less if you want something
lamer (victortheliberator.info, for example). Otherwise, we can set up
victor.storytotell.org or storytotell.org/~victor, whichever you
prefer.
I haven't fixed up the files yet, but it won't take very long to do
that.

Cool. How much space are you planning on needing? Past a few hundred
meg I might have to talk to someone about it.

Definitely.
