Sorry, I can't write IMHO since I then would be lying to you. AFAIK you're
relativly new to this list...

Not that I know what AAMOF is but I currently have nothing to do "under the
hood" (as for now anyway), the facts are that the only time that something
I did was shipped with the full Arachne version it was used incorrectly
(not that it's anyones fault, just a communications error between me and
Michael). (And pleaaassseee don't get me started about this one to many
have complained that the program was wrong even after I've told the
sollution several times).
To get the facts straight I'll give a short report (that is what I can
remember):
0. URL2HTM converts a IE .URL file to a HTML file (never included - but can
be downloaded from my webpage, rather useless)
1. APM.EXE 2 improvments, later one was implemented by Michael himself
since he lost my source the other was the one that lead to the problems and
have been left out so far. I've got 1 standing thing Michael asked me to do
for it, and 2 I've come up with myself. Can also be downloaded from my
webpage.
2. WWWMAN.EXE Smaller code - unfortunately I don't have the source for 1.50
s.r.c so I can't actualyl work on this one (less memmory useage) I've got a
few random ideas for this but Michael constantly trying to keep me away
from it <g>
Also a bugfix that another (former?) memmber of this list (Eko Priono)
already had fixed <g>
3. WIZARD.EXE Improved the findings of modems (after an idea from someone
on the list). Never added/adopted to a full version. (Can also be
downloaded - but it's output isn�t any good with newer versions).
4. X_LOPIF (graphics library for Arachne) Faster code (ASM optimizations),
currently only on my own HD (I'm awaiting 1.60 before I send them -
wouldn't want to be the responisble one for adding to the time before we
get it or corrupting it)
5. INSIGHT.EXE (I did promise to stay clear of this one but had nothing
else to do one day). A minor bug fix (regarding a string that's outputed
that's refering to mailman.exe the former name). Also when I compiled the
source without the Project file for Borland it resulted in a much smaller
code, and IIRC the settings are the same (I duggest you take a look at that
Michael).
Can be downloaded from my webpage (there's also a 386 version).
Not to mention numerous more or less wacky ideas that I've sent Michael and
problems I've encountered. For insance it's my fault that Arachne told you
that you're installing in a path that's to long.
M:\Backup\Dos\Internet\Browsers\Arachne\Arcn1xxxx\ was a little to much ;)
(Was removed in 1.50 s.r.c IIRC)
Others, S. Lawson (WATTCP) and Shadack (WWWMAN) for instance have also
helped (more IMO). But most of the job has been done by Michael. As long as
I don't have the full source (and contribute to it) I'm not going to state
that I've got "a big hand under the hood", a small if/when my changes to
X_LOPIF comes perhaps but that would be stretching it IMO. Arachne is
formost a webbrowser and sofar I haven't done anything that has to do with
that (and in fact only added smaller bugfixes or new features newer
something entirely new).
BTW Michael, "homeless" ain't doing anything that's speeding up the process
for me...
