Right-click on a page and choose "Save as" from the menu.
Hmm ... not in the right-click menu on this system (Solaris 10
on UltraSPARC CPUs).
I was afraid of that, my menus are highly modified. It use
to be there but Opera has been messing around with the menus
a lot lately 
I wish that they had not removed the "close window" one, leaving
only the ^W to accomplish the task. Sometimes I am leaning back with
the keyboard out of my lap on a shelf, and just using the mouse, but I
have to reach up to the awkwardly-located keyboard from time to time to
get rid of a page -- especially when I am using my saved eBay searches.
Now you should have another dialog box with an item called
"Save as type".
O.K. I can find this in the "File" menu.

Cool! nice thing about Opera, usually there is more than one
way to do something.
Just like unix. :-)
So it does -- with a nasty (for unix systems at least), as it
saved by the file name: "D-AND_D.COM web pages.mht" instead of the
preferred "D-AND_D.COM_web_pages.mht". (I don't use spaces in filenames
as they are a pain on the unix command line.) For that matter,
Microsoft has discovered in some of their business/commercial
applications that they are a pain on the command line in Windows, too. :-)
Agreed, I avoid spaces if at all possible. They cause a lot
of trouble in Windows too, contrary to what MS would have
you believe...
I do understand that they are having troubles with them in their
business systems -- when the spaces are breaking command-line operation
or scripts (batch files?).
But -- they would never admit it to their home users. :-)

Now that you have figured out what mht is, I have a bunch of
old "What is it?" pages saved that way. If you want an old
one for comparison purposes let me know and I can stick one
or two on my web page for a few days. Give me an idea of
what time frame you would be looking for if so.
Well ... at this point, I think that the problem really was that
about that time I had turned on the fit-to-width option (which I found
while playing around in the latest 9.27 version). Since I have shared
home directories, when I went to the system with the older (9.26)
version, I still got the same settings. :-)
Winzip isn't going to do much on a system running Solaris 10 on
an UltraSPARC CPU. :-)
I knew that 
but I wanted you to know that some archiver
programs can un-pack mht. I thought 7-Zip could too but it
choked on one when I gave it a try.
O.K. That is one which I don't know.
I poked around a bit looking for something Unixish for this,
but didn't find anything via a quick search. I'm sure
someone has made a program for it though.
Certainly someone has.
Any clues as to the others (which would handle the whole thing)?
I could, of course edit it into separate chunks and manually run
mimeencode -u
on it -- giving it my own choice of names if necessary.
This would work and the name is easy enough to read/spot in
the mht file. You wouldn't have to make it up. If the file
doesn't have any non-text characters it probably wouldn't be
encoded anyway.
Good enough. But of course the images would have to be encoded
(though hopefully the file name would not be.)

O.K. While I often have to use zoom to be able to read the
pages (and even then is difficult with one of the dark-blue on black
pages. :-)
Have you tried "Ctrl-g" (user style sheet) on such pages?
Hmm ... is *that* where that one went. I used to set up a set
of colors in one of the preferences menus, but I could not find how to
invoke it, as the "always use my colors" button had vanished.
You can set Opera up with your own special css page to
override a lot of poor web page design crap and/or use its
own built in values via the preferences settings. If you
want to explore this a bit farther I can take a few deep
breaths and try to help. It can be a bit confusing/difficult
if you haven't messed around with it before. I think it is
the same as the Windows version but not sure...
Well ... I used to use that on Mozilla -- but could not find how
to invoke it (until you mentioned the ^G). So -- I may be saved. :-)
Wasn't it you who was curious about how well zfs worked?
snip good zfs info
Not me, wrong geek I remember you discussing it though
and I think it was with Steve Ackman. See:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...ac5f0371419be9
O.K. Hopefully he is following this discussion. Anyway, the
test with migrating to a new (larger) set of drives worked just as I had
hoped.
Thanks,
DoN.
