can't run bf on win xp sp 1

Anonymous — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 08:09:42 -0000

I've tried both of the InstallBottomFeeder.exe on
http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/BottomFeeder/downloads.html
but none of them gets the program running. I can
install them without a problem but when I click on the
bottomFeeder.exe it just creates an error.log but no
start screen although the bf.exe appears in the task
manager. So, what's the trouble with bf that it doesn't
like to run on win xp sp1?

fyi here's the error.log:

<BottomFeed Error> {BottomFeeder -- (16.63,jamesr)}

I may be stupid but....

Anonymous — Thu, 07 Apr 2005 01:08:03 -0000

At the risk of being considered stupid and unwise to be
allowed near any machines.
When I downloaded bottomfeeder v.3 I got files
bottomfeeder.pcl and .pst. (among others)

I could find no documentation on the site (doesn't mean
it wasn't there, just that I couldn't find it) saying how to
make them materialise as bottomfeeder.
I was looking for an .exe but obviously this is different.
Can you help?

Thank you for your forbearance and thank-you for the
extensive documentation about rss, accumulators,
feeds etc and how to use it once it is installed.

When subscribing to the feed from my blogger blog at (http://
www.pfhyper.com/weblog/blogger.html), BottomFeeder
displays the id number rather than a summary of the article.
My feed is at http://www.pfhyper.com/weblog/atom.xml.

Thanks.

Can't install bottomFeeder on Mac

Sam McDonald — Wed, 21 Jan 2004 18:12:26 -0000

I am attempting to install bottomFeeder on a Mac
running OS 9.2.2.
The instructions say to set the type and creator codes
to HPS7 (this I did with ResEdit). They also said to
drop the file bottomFeeder.im onto the visual file.
What is the visual file? Where is it, and how does one
start the application routinely (surely this "dropping
the file bottomFeeder.im onto the viusal file is not a
permanent way to start the application)?
