Another proof that it is possible: on ticalc.org you can read all txt-files inside the zip thing.  | No, that's completely wrong. ticalc.org temporarily unzips files and extracts the one you requested when you click the preview of text files. Windows does something similar, as Souvik of course correctly pointed out. zip files are actually one of the worse formats in terms of compression factor and features.

The trick is that I will make each zip appear as a folder to Sandpaper, and when you click the "folder" that is that file", the server will download the zip, unzip it, and present the list, just as every zip viewer does. _________________

Well, I have a very weired bug:
It used to display the folders I created inside Doors, now it is a bit weired:
Instead of the folder name it displays #ERROR##
I don't know how that happened, all I did was trying out the ticalc bridge and went to that folder while I was connected.
After resetting my RAM it was still like that. _________________

I think that you have a weird bug, not a wired bug. Does this happen only when connected to the ticalc hub? What if you just browse your folders without being connected to anything? _________________

Ok so the other day I tried with DCS 7.2b2 and the gCn Client that came with it and didn't see ticalc.org listed. I had a random name hub. I tried today on OS 2.55MP instead of 2.53MP and it didn't show ticalc.org either. However with FTPHub it shows ticalc.org name in the list fine (after a few seconds of wait.)
Now I waited so it loads and it finally did after a while. I see grammer, os, asm, bbcbasi, basic and flash listed.
EDIT: Btw this is really awesome. I was happy to see this come out. One suggestion I have now is when pressing clear to cancel connection, it would be nice if it didn't exit the entire app completely, so we don't need to restart it again. _________________ Retired 83+ coder, Omnimaga/TIMGUL founder.

How much of a while? Click on any folder to go into it.
Edit: [CLEAR] on the slave disconnects; [CLEAR] on the master quits. You can click the [dis]connect icon on the title bar to disconnect from inside the master. _________________

I didn't check, but now I did and it took 2 seconds.
Also how do I click the disconnect icon if when connecting, the arrow cursor cannot move at all?
Also, I wonder how Sandpaper would have handled http://www.ticalc.org/pub/83plus/basic/games/ back in 2006 (before the directory split)??  _________________ Retired 83+ coder, Omnimaga/TIMGUL founder. Now doing power metal music (formerly did electronica)

An excellent question. Directories can have at most 511 entries in them, so for larger directories, the bridge is going to transparently divide up the big folders into multiple smaller folders. _________________

*necrobump* Sandpaper is on my to-finish list for the summer, and since I'm a bit stuck with Graph3DP, I decided to pick it up again. I started with a bit of testing just to remember how far I got, and I found that I can create a non-fatal hang while the sender waits for confirmation to begin sending content by trying to send Phoenix3 to a calculator's archive. The problem does not occur if I send to RAM. _________________

Somehow I completely missed the fact that Sandpaper can already browse ticalc.org archives. Thought it was just a planned feature
I can't seem to get it to connect though. ticalc.org never shows up in the connection dialog, and after a few seconds it just times out. (Same thing happens all the time when I use Sandpaper to connect to another calculator.) Is it an issue with OS 2.55MP? _________________

Are you connecting to FTPHub, complete with proper capitalization? I also just restarted that hub's bridge to make sure that it's properly working. As far as I know, I worked around all of the issues in the two MP OSes and CALCnet, but I'm not 100% sure on that. _________________

Just two small things I noticed when testing out the program:
When browsing the ticalc.org archives, pressing the up arrow to go up a directory returns to the root directory, not to the previous directory as it probably should.
Also, it would work better, I think, if scrolling happened an entire page (or an entire page minus one entry) at a time. Scrolling one-by-one is slow and tedious. _________________ People think computers will keep them from making mistakes. They're wrong. With computers you make mistakes faster.
