These are the probs that happen and until they are sorted, then it's only enthusiasts that will/can use rach and other similar programs. Where can I get a copy of the "latest" then?

Then why do they ask for so much personal information on their sign-up page for a yahoo id? I can think of no reason why they would to know so much about me unless they were trying to develop a victim profile on me for targetting by spammers. Another reason why I suspect them is that their main web-site used to sponsor some links for porn enthusiasts. Most porn sites promote their web sites by spamming.

Marketing profiles are useful and can be profitably sold. This information that you must give them is what you "pay" for using some of their services. There are legitimate uses for this information that don't involve spam. For most Yahoo services you don't need to provide any info at all. All of the web directories and search engines provide links to erotica--after all that is perhaps the most popular use of the internet after email. People love sexy pictures!

It's too bad that development of Minuet (a whole suite of Internet tools for DOS) was abandonned by the University of Minnesota way back about the time Arachne got started. It was very promising and interesting. As you note it works great on ancient hardware.

In the cache.idx example that you posted on your site, "http://www.arachne.cz"; is the page source and is saved in the cache as: "\arachne\cache\55027588.HTM". Now, as you go thru cache.idx, everyplace you find, "http://www.navrcholu..."; in 55027588.HTM, if you replace it with the filename shown in the index, that image will appear when the page is viewed offline. If you do a "search and replace", searching for the "http://..."; name and replacing it with the alias cache name, no LFN's will be involved and the page would contain all of the graphics and links that it would have online.
