I tried a couple of different WAMP servers, and old ones left garbage on the path, and one even thoughtlessly wiped out my entire path, except for its own, leaving a few other progs hanging ;')
Anyway. turned out I was so hot to try mail I didn't read anything
about Pear, but just assumed it was a package of ready-made includes,
when it's really just a system to install includes ;') The files
simply weren't there. But since the paths were wrong I couldn't run
pear from cmd and get an idea of what to do. It all fell into place
and I dld and installed a couple of smaller packages to fool with.
Wish I'd checked the wiki instead of just making blind assumptions.
Anyway, that's solved. The final query is, if I go to the trouble of
getting Mail working, will my dynamic IP fudge it up? I can see where
that would be a problem with receving mail, but what about sending it?
Can I just poll the IP quickly and plug it in on the run if I need it
to send?
Jim
