Interesting papers on metaprogramming

[Massimo Dentico]

Thank you very much Robert  and technical staff at DIKU,
with your information I have solved the problem.

The problem is that my ISP  doesn't pair a symbolic name
to every dinamically assigned  IP address.   Thus the IP
address result  not registered  (a nslookup return:  "No
reverse DNS  (WSANO_DATA)" ) and your ftp server doesn't
grant the access (for security reason I imagine).

Accessing the ftp server  via my ISP proxy,  which has a
symbolic  name,  solves  the problem,  even if  in a not
completely satisfactory way  (the proxy is a little slow
and, worse, doesn't support resuming, so usually I don't
use it).  Of course,  this is a problem  with my ISP,  I
inform you and the technical staff  at DIKU just in case
someone else  in the future will have  the same problem:
a proxy is an effective solution.

Again, thanks for the help.
