Erkson Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 It is about http://bbo.bridgebase.com:81/tourneyresults/which displays tournament results .lin files. I noticed that when I click on some of them Windows opens them directly from BBO and all is OK, but when I click on some others Windows opens a blank file, and I must download the file on my hard disk and open it from my hard disk to get results displayed. I know now why :this one will be opened directly from BBO :http://bbo.bridgebase.com:81/tourneyresult...MATCH__~1~8.lin and this one will be displayed as a blank .lin file :http://bbo.bridgebase.com:81/tourneyresult..._ligi__~1~6.lin It depends on the number of characters of the .lin file's name : less than 71* it will be opened directly from BBO, more than 71* it will display a blank .lin file. Quite annoying. Erkson * it may be 72 or 73, I had not time to determine it with precision, but the limit is precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Using windows NT4 (service patch 6 I think), I can open both of those in lin file. Also same with windows XP professional. Windows ME has always had some annoying habits. :-( Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
