These URLs point directly to the project file. This may work, but in most cases it doesn't (some browser magic involved). Netscape in your case actually tries to display the *content* of the project file directly, thus the gibberish.
Some people might also encounter download problems as these projects are hosted on a so called dynamic dns server. Without going into details it could happen that the server temporarily may not be found.
Either download the projects and load them from your local disc or use these URLs that utilize the squeakland launcher:
http://squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://berty.dyndns.org/CSpendulum.pr
(I just found out that this project contains a TTGlyph, it won't work in the squeakland image. Please *always* use the unmodified squeakland plugin image when you build projects that you want to share).

While this is indeed a dynamic dns address, it is actually a fixed IP number. Please feel free to use the number 202.0.37.152 instead of the name if you want to.

Thanks for that. I'll take the TTGlyph out of it. Pity, it's pretty.

Hi, Christopher, Mike and other readers - I just tried to load the project from this url: http://squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://berty.dyndns.org/GraphBug.pr and it worked! (It did take a few seconds so patience helps!)
I think it would be *really cool*, if you would be willing to add a small narrative to this project, explaining to folks finding it, what it does, why it is important, basically what it means.... would you be willing to do so? thanks! Kim

Thanks for telling me. It's supposed to be a 128kbit cable connection but I have suspected for a while that it's on a go slow. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Hopfully the ISP are looking into it.

Done. There is now a text box which says:-
This project merely illustrates a very minor bug in the playfield.
It seems that the y origin for the graph paper is the top of the playfield, whereas the y origin for the graph is at the bottom. Thus, unless the size of the y dimension of the playfield is an exact multiple of the graphpaper squares the plotting is incorrect. This is illustrated by the graph to the left, the plot of which should pass precisely through the corners of the squares of the graph paper.
Once again, really a very minor bug.

Hi, again, Christopher - Ah...I had misunderstood, or when I finally was able to load a project, I got the one reporting the bug as opposed to the one you were suggesting we use as a good example for High Schoolers! Thanks for pointing out the bug...I have asked some folks to look into it... When you take the "TTGlyph" out of this project
http://squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://berty.dyndns.org/CSpendulum.pr
could you let me know so I can try to take a look? thanks!! Kim
