They are very valuable for newbies trying to explore the Arachne environment and modify the configuration. They also are great for firing up the imagination and encouraging experimentation. I keep them in a USER folder under my Arachne directory. Easy to access 'as is', even better if hyper-linked from a HTM page. If they were available for download, that would make it easy to obtain old suggestions without having to sort through archives.

ABOUT CGI (common gate interface) **Take care, fractured english beyond this point *grin* BTW interfacing HTML (a general marking up language aka SGML) with any database system no matter which type it is (RDBMS, flat file, OODB.....multivalue, etc.) a CGI will be needed to parsing data from any n-tier architecture where n-1 would be the data n-2 how the business rules applies to data and n-3 how data is presented to users. For the above we are talking of a webserver which acts as the middleware between data and business logic and it pulls data usually from the CGI-BIN directory (also known in the winworld as cgi-bin/cgi-win) ************************************************ OK., conversely we can talk about Arachne acting as that webserver. It remains how-to parsing data from the database to the webserver (Arachne, IE, whatever) Let me think about common questions for being "pagan" thinking to "downgrade" their "winweb" to DOS related stuff. 1. Which regular expressions will be use to filter data from the database ? Aka (what the heck will replace Perl/ PHP/Python ? Python would fit better as there is a DOS version of it despite it lacks the bell and whistles of GUI interface or IDE under DOS. A programming language is needed to work as "THE GLUE" among the system programming and application programming (aka databases, webserver, etc.) 2. How would be paginated the results of filtering a bunch of xbase pages Here the scripting engine would parse the data from the database to be showed at Arachne ? On Unix, Perl is the scripting language most widely used despite the hype of PHP. XBASE: I found z-base at Simtel as excellent resource to manipulate dbase files. Z-base is just to create a xbase DOS compatible files created from the scratch . And there a lot of dev. kits to work on xbase files . I think that it isn't a good thing for the Programmer's Toolbok any fundamentalistic attitude I feel nice to solve some trivial problems just going to any win flavor.....and coming back to the raw command line with all the necessary to continue the fun within DOS. > DOS is critical in this scheme because it's comprehensive, universal, and > free.

There is at simtel something resembling what you are talking about.....but saddly they are libraries for Delphi (Pascal redefined to Object Oriented **OO** in the same hype as C moved to C++) and the company seems was hyperact.com does not longer exist ? I formerly used eAUTHOR from a related deadcom many valuable hours with no support at all......you get what you get pay for.... :) As you see it seems we live in a GUI, OO, win, X-windows world where DOS seems only to be used to retrieve arcane games :) There aren't there no much money to pump with new "paradigms" "libraries" "widgets" "modeling" "testing" etc.etc. so I wonder if we are in the right address yet against the waves. I saw something called XS at Simtel what seems to be a 32bit extender in the class of now OpenWatcom.org (opensource) I also remember legendary 32 bit extender DOS4GW.

You are waiting for snippets of something called CGI-BIN stuff ............. :) I am thinking that the DOS oriented targeted developer (I implement models not coding ) would have to have a look over this compiler in the class of OpenWatcom.org Also in Simtel http://web.cs.pub.ro/~vycxs/xs/download.htm Don't be scared for the windowing of http://web.ss.pub.ro/%7Evycxs/ecdk/screenshots/scrshot13.png it seems to be for DOS 32 bit mode also (grin) As I told above.......sometimes Win is necessary....unless as a bridge to allow a retro-schema to DOS / Arachne Peace on Earth !

This DOS-version causes some bugs in Arachne so I would rather like to boot from D:\. But how? Futhermore newer Win versions like XP do not support DOS so double booting with DOS GUI is not possible because there is no DOS in WinXP.

The MBR contains a pointer to tell the BIOS where to find an operating system to boot. What a Boot Manager program does is to change this to point to a bit of code which asks the user to chose which partition/disk to boot from. I have used Ranish (which is a free Partition Manager which comes with a couple of Boot Manager program options) to allow booting of either DOS, Win98 or WinNT on a single disk. I guess it could be made to work for WinXP but suggest you take advice before trying. One of the Ranish Boot Managers is small, the code fits within the MBR. The other option which I haven't used needs an additional small partition to hold the code BTW Ranish Partition Manager can be used to copy whole partitions or whole disks. I do this for disk to disk backup. John - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

If you do so, you can later boot PTSDOS (BTW, more than one coniguration is supported via menu in config.pts), the "old DOS" (aka Win95) or an other system from an other drive. To do this, you must rip the boot sector from this drive an save it to a file on your C drive and add an entry to config.pts.

If you actvate partitions in a different order, would drive letters be assigned in *that* order, or are they always assigned by hardware order?
