PERIOD If you believe that sort of drek, then it's easy to see why you can't keep your webmaster under control and demand proper performance. Whoever does your pages should be fired outright... they are trash, if the flawed "you must have cookies" page is any example. I couldn't believe the code when it was downloaded. IT WAS ONE SINGLE LINE, A PAGE IMPOSSIBLE TO READ, TO FIND ERRORS IN, OR CORRECT with the format it is stored in on *your* servers. I broke it down into more proper lines simply so I could refer to the message and find the e-mail address. First: I have cookies enabled. They work, as sent from my browser via my ISP to multiple servers around the world ... including Yahoo, AltaVista, MSN, and numerous other major sites which send and utilize cookies. Second: My ISP's servers have ab-so-lute-ly noth-ing to do with whether or not cookies get sent or received. My ISP's servers simply provide me with a high grade link to the internet. TO BLAME AN ISP'S SERVERS FOR PROBLEMS IS IDIOTIC!! They are only the first step in a multi-step series of links between the code on your server and the browser software on my PC. Third: You are never going to solve YOUR problems with the flawed code on your site [Your idiot webmaster probably doesn't even send test cookies in his code -- more likely he uses some sort of javascript in an attempt to ascertain what browser is being used to access your site, and if the code doesn't find a browser which is "hard wired" into the code, the User is sent to your all too inaccurate a much too flatulent "You must have cookies" page] unless and until the blame is placed where it belongs, the cretin who has been lying in his teeth to you is fired, and someone semi-competent is put to work setting the page code for your sight straight. Fourth: You can send this message to trash and ignore everything I'm telling you. It's no skin off my nose. I don't do commercially designed websites. I don't need your site or your services. My life will continue on without my ever even noticing that I cannot access your site, because I won't attempt to in future. HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP BANKRUPT *AND* THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE INTERNET COMMUNITY, YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WHAT I'M TELLING YOU AND *DO* *SOMETHING* ABOUT GETTING C-O-M-P-E-T-E-N-T WEBSITE DESIGNERS. Most sincerely, l.d. L.D. Best Ohio, USA P.S.

For anyone looking to a stable, manageable, version of of Arachne, I also would recommend 1.66 ... with one adendum: I would suggest that the version of InSight which comes with 1.70r3 [and earlier?] be substituted for the version which came in 1.66 originally. Doing that seems to totally cure the 'lost chains' problem that was around for so long. Now, if I recall correctly, there was a change in mime.cfg structure between 1.59 and the 1.60+ versions; if this is the case, that would mean that Seek couldn't use the current mime.cfg file, but he should be able to use the current Arachne.cfg file ... correct? Any bells and whistles added between 1.59 & 1.66 could then be entered into Arachne.cfg via Options?? ***** Seek ... I know you said you'd try the e-mail route; that may not work for you, if your ISP has limits on the size of e-mail. Once 600K is UUEncoded it takes up a LOT of space.

Even if by some chance you get a Dos virus as an attachment. Linking to the attached file *will not* run it. The attached file will simply be saved to disk (in the directory of your choosing, with the name of your choosing). This makes it very easy to run a virus checker on just that one file.

Yep.... that was the "run-away D/L" bug. For such pages, we can get them by using the "Cntrl+enter" feature. (this will D/L the page without attempting to display it) This also points-out another problem in v1.70;r3 After using Cntrl+enter, all of the links on the page are "dead".

Well.. they detected my win98 copy was illegal because my grandma (who lent me the CD) received an email from a server I was sending an email to.. it was a cross-checking. I deleted windows from my pc and never installed it anymore, so now i'm on the side of the law :).. If the police comes to my house, they won't find anything wrong. Anyway, I think that here almost everyone owns a non-original (lent or copied) installation of windows.. here nobody has Win95 no more, and I can find a copy of win 98 2000 nt or me at 2,5 USD each at school.. Only I don't want to use windows no more. A lot of people say to be microsoft free because they have netscape and not internet explorer, but they're just ridicolous. Anyway, I'm the only person I know microsoft found with a non original copy of windows.. I suppose yours ain't original too, am I right? If I could, I'd just suggest you to DELETE IT and to use linux or qnx or arachne. Only doing so, you will be the one by the side of the law. Byeeeee.
