What happens when you right-click the URL for the CAB, and choose
"Save As", "Save Target As", or the equivalent? That seems to work as
expected here, and I can then extract it normally.

Save As is where I started. But Omega described PssPad, and it's not for
me anyway.

Handsome features aside, this guy is not environmentally friendly.
Demands a lot of resources. Inserts filetype keys to the registry
whenever you run it; no option to turn that off. And creates
settings files outside way off in a distant, external location
(...\common files\application data\pspad\).

Strange it did install anything of this kind on my PC with the
pspad429inst_en.exe file. I noticed there's was an uninstall entry
in PsPad group from the Start menu : less and less programs
integrate this basic feature. Besides, have you tested the pspad
..cab file which is said to be runnable out of the box ?

I would recommend you try it yourself before taking Omega's (flawed?)
word for it...none of the issues omega's described happened here. All
file associations stayed the same, only one new one association was
created for the program's special "PSPad Project" file, and a quick
search of the registry for PSPad shows very minimal changes.

As for her accusation that there's "no option" to turn off setting
file associations, that's not true. There's a whole tab in the
Settings window devoted to system integration. There are options for
using PSPad to open TXT files, to integrate with context menus, to use
it for the HTML editor and viewer in IE and Opera, to use it as the
default editor inside of Total Commander, and even a way to associate-
-and de-associate--different extensions with PSPad. There's also an
option for PSPad in a "Multi User Environment", which does in fact
create the PSPad folder under the users Application Data folder.
However, this setting, and all the others I specified above, are
unchecked by default. So if it's displaying the behavior she
described, then she's either basing her description of PSPad off of an
old version (again?), or she's describing options which she herself
set.

Additionally, a search of my C drive (I installed PSPad to my D drive)
shows only six files related to PSPad--three which are temporary
internet files from their site which I haven't yet deleted, two which
are recent document files for the files which I'd downloaded, and one
which is a Send To shortcut which I've placed their myself. In fact,
all the settings are stored in INI files in the program's directory.

So, I guess I'm somewhat baffled by omega's claims, because they don't
match my experience with this program at all unless you actually tell
it to exhibit the described behavior. I really do suggest you try it
yourself...don't take my word for it, or omega's word for it, but use
your own experiences and base an opinion on that.

<!-- dkg_ctc conveniences his ploy by not quoting a single word from the

You say, "it did not happen here," on your machine -- when it does indeed.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\.PPR]
@="PSPad.project"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\PSPad.project]
@="PSPad project"

1. It inserts those filetype keys to the registry.
2. It does so whenever it runs.
(Delete those keys, and it will recreate them, on its next run.)
3. It provides no option to turn off that behavior.

My report of the insertion of the filetype keys -- that which you label
"Omega's claims" and "Omega's (flawed?) word" -- it is a factual account,
and can be witnessed by anyone who has interest.

I made absolutely no statement whatsoever about it taking over file
associations, changing values. You flat-out invented that. Deviously.
Or delusionally. Or both. Indulging yourself in a rant against the
very notion that you yourself made up, in trying to fit me as the
target in your tricks.

Quoting your statement again: "none of the issues omega's described happened
here."

1. You say such a thing despite the fact that, given you knew how to look,
you'd see that automatic creation of the PSPad filetype keys right
before your eyes.

2. The second part of the "described issues," it's the creation of files
off in App Data. And then in what you have to say on it above, you
indicate outright that you yourself have seen that behavior.
So, I guess I'm somewhat baffled by omega's claims

Had you any actual interest in facts, you would not be posing as being
"baffled" by those two "claims."

On the contrary, your driving motivation is quite otherwise.

Re the second subject, the remote directory usage, you buried within your
muck a statement that it's a behavior that can be prevented, if one does
not enable PSPad's "Multi User Environment" option. Consider that a normal\
healthy adult would have replied to the observation about the remote
directory usage, with a civil note, to inform how the multi-user environment
setting affects the file locations. A healthy reply in the same spirit as
most communication in ACF.

But instead, we have you here.

You spit out a twisted mess. Deviously try to attribute to me notions that
you invented. Laced with your ugly, insulting manner.

No, dkg_ctc, don't start stroking yourself so fast. In fantasizing that
you have now accomplished your goal. I know what you crave, the kind of
game you seek. I've seen how perversely you relish creating your flamefest
disruptions.

I refuse to support your endeavor. You won't waste more of my time.

Yep, go ahead now, dkg_ctc. Do your predictable, compulsive number. Dump
your stench into ACF, spill out all your garbage, call me a liar, and a
thief, and whatever else, once again. Those are the pits you crawl in.

And be sure to really jack off in it, all by yourself.

I can't download it. I tried in Netscape, Firebird, finally IE/Download
Express- none of them work on the cab file. I could download the help
file, not the program. I wish the author had archived it as a simple
zip.

From page : http://www.pspad.com/index_en.html
The [ right click -> Save target as on the "cab" ] file works well here.

I have downloaded the .cab and can mail it to you if it may help.
 
*snip*
Even though in Netsape when I click on the cab, I see a page of
code, I'm now downloading a cab file and will go from there.

Hey, just to let you know, I extracted the CAB, and then recompressed
the extracted files to a ZIP. I'm going to upload the ZIP to
alt.binaries.freeware as soon as I finish typing this post...which is
now!

As I said there, many thanks, but I only see your message, not the zip
file. In the past, I've downloaded from alt.binaries.freeware OK.

I posted there, but have to go to another server to do that, so am also
posting here.

Thanks for your help. I can't download the above (code), tried in
Xnews. PsPad has so far been a headache for me.

If it's a zip file from a URL, I can d/l it, but the above, I'd have to
try binary newsreaders.

Well, it worked for me with Xnews...

Here you go:

See if THAT works for you.

Can I ask:
When I go (Netscape newsreader) to the binaries newsgroup and see
a post message with all code, how to download a file?
Click to expand...

I wouldn't be the one to ask on that one, sorry...I haven't used
Netscape news (or Mozilla news, for that matter) in ages.
When I went to the same post in Xnews, again I saw the code.
Click to expand...

In binary groups, you should use the threaded view with Xnews. Then,
if the binary is complete, it'll have a complete, light-blue block.
From there, you should be able to select it, and then go to Article--
Decode.
