I sent the following to this list on Dec 31, when majordomo wasn't listening
so here it is again: <G>

Hi;
I'm not sending this to bugs because I'm not sure and it isn't dangerous anyway.

I was pretty sure I had finally figured out MIME.cfg (still sure):) and
the ">ABC|" is just the extension appended to the numbered output file
written to TEMP or CACHE.
I thought there should be no reason to worry about that extension if your
.DGI specified its own for a different target (not a numbered temp file).

This works:
....dgi   |TYPE $q|qfix>$q
Ok, $query$.tmp is special and Arachne will always use a .tmp extension.

This works:
....dgi   |TYPE $q|qfix>player.cmd
Ok, that's what I thought - the extension is specified and the target
isn't $1 or $2.

This works:
....dgi   |TYPE player.cmd>player.bat
See above.

This DOESN'T work in A1.62/66/70:
....dgi   |TYPE player.cmd>player.bat\nTYPE clip.tmp |dirfix >>player.bat.

Never mind what dirfix is, it's NOT the problem. Arachne hangs and drops to
DOS in a strange VGA textmode if you hit ^C twice and give the proper answers
to:"Quit batch file ?y/n". BTW, player.bat is not created.

This *DOES* work:
..dgi >BAT|TYPE player.cmd>player.bat\nTYPE clip.tmp |dirfix >>player.bat.

Player.bat is created and contains the proper material.

Why does the extension specifier matter only for the SECOND (after \n)
command string ?

BTW, Happy New Year all !
