OKay, it's fixed now, but in a cheesy manner.   I changed the file
extensions to .txt as suggested and now it works.   So the webhost has
some special consideration for .m extensions....grrr...

Yes, the .m files in question use the pre-formatted escape indicators
just like Peter has shown, so that's not the problem (it used to
work).

I haven't had a chance to get back to this but can try some of these
things.   I'd like to leave the files with the .m extension since
people can right-click if they so desire from the sourcing page.

My news server went off its meds for a few days, too, and I'm just now
getting back to being able to read this stuff.

Also, on your other FE page,
http://www.ericjacobsen.org/intpfigs.mcd
is not there.

Perhaps the server is configured only to deliver file types
it knows about?

Yup, that's what I use on my .m files:

% <PRE>
function omegahat = discperiod(signal)

%DISCPERIOD Find the discrete-frequency periodogram maximizer
:

:
%</PRE>

I think you're talking about the <pre> tag (IIRC, that stands for 
pre-formatted).

Permissions maybe.

You could also embed the files into HTML.  IIRC the keyword is <CODE> 
and it just prints anything inside verbatim and in a fixed-width font. 
I cannot remember the details, but I know it's there.

That's a thought: try changing the extension to ".txt" and see what happens.

You may be right, and I'm not certain how to change it.   I copied the
.m files with the same utility (ws_ftp) that I used to copy the
graphics and .htm files, and at the same time, so I don't know why it
would treat them differently.   Perhaps the hosting company reserves
the .m file extension for something else and it does have different
permissions.

Ah, well, I'll have to see how good their support staff is, I suppose.

The links seem broken, but I suspect it's a file permission issue.

If I try:

http://www.ericjacobsen.org/fe2/inttst3.m

I get the standard 404 error from Microsoft.  If I try something random:

http://www.ericjacobsen.org/fe2/sdfds

then I get an error generated by your ISP.

So I suspect that the files are there, they've just not got the right
permissions.

See if the files (or the fe2 directory) has given read permissions to
the appropriate process / user.

HTH,

Peter K.
