Subject: Email Inbox "Cannot create index file ..."
My autoexec.bat had already included:
set temp= D:\
This is actually the uncompressed part of my hard drive, and I have long
used it for temps as it reads and writes faster. I checked, and there was
almost 3 megs of space available.
However, I tried substituting:
SET ARACHNETEMP=C:\ARACHNE\TEMP
I made sure the directory exists, then reboot. SET showed the variable. I
started up Arachne, hit "I" for Inbox, and got the same error. Still cannot
view the downloaded email.
I also changed the [system] line in Arachne.cfg to read:
Mailpath C:\ARACHNE\MAIL\
Still no go -- same error.
Is there another Arachne setting that IDs the temp directory? Thanks very
much, guys, for your ready replies and good Arachnoid humor.

Does your temp directory exist ??
If you have a backslash at the end remove it.
(eg set temp=c:\temp instead of c:\temp\)
From: "Sergei Kramar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Arachne creates $IDX$cnm.IDX file in the directory that you've pointed
in autoexec.bat by ARACHNETEMP variable.
Sounds to me as if you don't have a "temp" directory set.
Be sure that you have a line something like this in your autoexec.bat
set temp=c:\temp
Also be sure that the directory it names *does* exist.
From: Clarence Verge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Make sure your autoexec.bat has a line similar to either of these:
Set TEMP=[Drive]:\Arachne\TEMP or Set ARACHNETEMP=[Drive]:\Arachne\TEMP.
Make sure the specified directory exists.
Another thing that gets in the way sometimes is the specification for the
Arachne mailpath in Arachne.cfg under [system].
The default is:
Mailpath MAIL\
Sometimes, if Arachne is not installed on the "C" drive in \ARACHNE, it
needs
a full path specification. This may have been improved in later versions.
Try:
Mailpath [Drive]:\[Path]\MAIL\

I followed Torbens advice and added:

There are 13856 bytes missing. This number of bytes changes.

Not only is there an HTML part, but it is all quoted-printable, which distorts
things. 3DCOMMAND.COM is not a valid DOS file name. Other Outlook Express
users, but unfortunately not all, manage to send messages in one straight-text
part, so it can be done. You have to look at the help facility. I can't say
just what or how to set, since there is no Outlook or Outlook Express on my
computer.

When you edit the HTML source and save, the modified page becomes a local file

putting the actual base href in place of ... Then the links would point to the

hard drive for those Web pages. This would apply to other Web browsers as well
as Arachne.

This subject was discussed in some detail on this list back in Jan 98.
I'm not sure if the archives go back that far, but I have saved a few
messages from that discussion and put them in a file at:
http://www.ncf.ca/~ag221/bootp.txt.
You can find tcpinfo.exe along with other individual programs from
the 1994 version of the Wattcp apps.zip and Erick Engelke's readme,
"Waterloo TCP Installation Notes" at:
http://mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de/d:/public/tcp_ip/wattcp/apps/

The way I understand it, with "real" BOOTP, BOOTP requests from the
application are answered directly by the server. On the other hand,
EPPPD intercepts and answers these requests, thus performing "fake"
or simulated BOOTP. As long as you're using EPPPD, "real" BOOTP does
not come into play at all, and it doesn't matter whether or not your
ISP is running BOOTP.

Subject: Re: [Problem website... Javascript?]
I am told that http://www.igindex.co.uk/ has recently
been re-"designed", and now causes those blessed
with 256MB RAM latest-&-greatest to suffer system
lockups, and messages that their particular version
of IE5 isn't quite shiny enough. I looked at it with
Opera, and the Live Prices were the kiss of death.
Doesn't particularly concern me, as it's a spread-betting
site, but I'm glad that the high spenders are realizing
that poorly validated sites are useless, whatever horsepower
you throw at them.
When such occurrences present themselves, we have a
golden opportunity to present the case for standards-compliant

Subject: How to bypass Javascript
I just tried this at a page that produced a blank screen due to javascript
and it might work for you.
Hit F6 and see where <Script language=javascript> occurs. Then hit F4 to
edit the source code. Immediately after <Script language=javascript>, enter,
<!--
then scroll down to </script>. Immediately before </script>, enter,
- -->
This would/should put all of javascript in a comment, which Arachne should
ignore. (It did for me.)
After all javascript are enclosed in comments, hit F2 to save the source page
and hit F9 to redraw the page.
Hope this helps.

It's possible for a firewall to filter out pages that uses ex. JavaScript
(and many other things) as well.

Sadly I agree.

Really? I haven't seen any such things - most JS that comes out these days
are for people that can't understand how to make a link (<A
HREF="somefile">my link</A>) and that can't take hours of training.

There's one program on the market that earlier would remove JS - it's
called FrontPage. However the pages would increase incredibly in size and
no dynamic links to images would work afterwards (this is still a problem
AFAIK).

With the above settings, go to Inbox and hit "R" for reload.
If you get the same error message, hit "R" there.
And my final comment is: I don't know anything about 1.50src except it
wouldn't work for me. My favorite bulletproof version from the older series
is 1.50b2. It has the old directory structure. I believe there were some
bugs related to directory structure in src.
Maybe you should try the b2 or solve the memory problem with 1.61.

Well, I am sure those are interesting questions, but you will have to
use a different character set (or even different language) for most of
us to be able to read them. <G>
Just in case you don't see what I (we?) see, the first 2 lines are made
almost entirely of characters I didn't even know Netscape could produce,
and the balance is a list of numbers separated by dashes or minus signs.

Eric,
Only one of Maxim's messages came thru to me as undecipherable, and I assumed
that it was because it was originally written in cyrillic. None of his
messages have locked up my machine, however.

>>Hi All,
Am I the only one on this list having problems
with Maxim's emails? There is something about then that
totally disables my mail reader. I am using the Detroit
Freenet mail reader which is Pine(unix). When one of
Maxim's emails is in my mail directory it usually stops
the directory listing at his email entry(but not always).
His last emails changed my screen to hieroglyphics. I had
to perform some shenanigans to get my screen back without
logging off. What gives?

Now that other Arachnids has tied up the BOOTP package with a pretty bow,

When is a 'true BOOTP' not BOOTP?
When it is DCHP.
But not to panic. DCHP standard says it must be backwards compatible
with BOOTP. So if you are on a more modern system that does not give
you a static IP you can configure for, BOOTP can and *will* still obtain
all the information you need to stay connected.
When I was certain I had static IP [even my ISP now unofficially admits
this, although they swore up and down IP would be dynamically assigned
... because now the webpage states part of the cable modem packages is
'a single IP'] I switched to using LANTCP because it doesn't poll the
server with every move like BOOTP does.
Setting up for static IP didn't make much speed difference for *me*
because of the fiberoptic LAN/WAN into my ISP. But if I were on a
slower link-up with a slower system, it would speed things up
measurably. I won't go into details unless/until someone needs to know
how to figure out if they have static IP connection to their access LAN.
