Re: [DL] new utility available

["bruce boragine" <gamr4evr@bellsouth.net>]

hey nick. i just downloaded the zip file to my laptop and my desktop. it
works perfectly on my desktop comp., but it doesn't work at all on my
notebook.
the notebook works well online. the card pix don't appear; neither the back
of the card nor the face. when i got to the cards in the folder on my
desktop, i can see each face. on my notebook it just shows the the value
below the graphic and then a graphic of a red square, blue circle and a
yellow triangle. on a 'folded' page icon.
it never reshuffles or draws, and the pix of the cards are the broken
download/graphic synbol; the open square with the little 'x' in the top
corner.

any idea on what i need to do to get it to work?

As a testament to how much I need a life, we at the DLCGP have a new utility
available. No, it's not a final version of the DLCG. This is a card drawing
utility created by me and James McCarthy, who ended up fixing my
horrendously sloppy scripting. It's an HTML page and a supporting image
folder. Just use the dropdown menu to specify how many cards you want to
draw, which can be the whole deck if for some reason you just need to see in
what order the cards come out. Since it's HTML, you should be able to run it
on anything, including a PDA, so long as it supports HTML, images, and
Javascript.

As for instructions, just specify the number you want to draw and click the
Draw! button. If you want to reset the cards, click the Reshuffle button and
they'll all revert to the card back, which would have been the gremlin had I
been able to find an image of him- the one that's supposed to be on the
Weird West errata page isn't showing up. In any event, this should be a nice
utility for hucksters, mad scientists, and especially Marshals, along with
anyone else who needs to continuously shuffle and reshuffle. You can find it
at http://www.thebrogue.com/dlcgp/drawer/draw.html . There's also a link on
the page to download it as a zip file. so you can use it locally, which is
good for laptops and PDAs and won't kill Mr. McCarthy's bandwidth. Have fun!
