Hi linda,

I usually just google the terms I am looking for + "clayart" and I get
what I need.

Hi Everyone,

I've been off ClayArt for a while, and probably missed something. But, when
I go to the page to search the archives
http://lsv.ceramics.org/scripts/wa.exe?LOGON=3DA0%3dCLAYART&L=3DCLAYART

and log in, I get a download, not a log-on:
C:\Download\wa.exe

If I try to run this, it pops up a DOS window (??) (16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem=
)
and says:
the NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:0dca IP:0326 OP:65.63.74.20 7b. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.
I'm running Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8,

If anyone know why I'm not able to log in and use the ClayArt archives, I'd
appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Hello, Linda,

Jon Byler's advice is sound, and it's how I do it most of the time.
It's not perfect, but it's quick and may also bring up other helpful
info.

There's another "unofficial" version of the clayart archives at
which some prefer, at least in some ways.
The top of the main page has links to a good search function and
other things.

But to answer your question directly, the official archives are here:

My condolences. I know this will piss off Mel, but... "Get a Mac."
Just kidding. No, really!

Let me know if my link doesn't work for you; I think it will.

Regards,
Maurice

ps How come you're still using earthenware? (Might as well piss you off, t=
oo.)
