Well, I'm online with Arachne v1.6 beta 1. Some quick first comments : * The installation went well. For those who haven't installed it yet: After running the self-extracting file, it asked what directory to install to and then proceeded to extract files and related subdirectories. It then checked the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and asked whether to add the Arachne to the path (which I entered "Y") It made a backup of AUTOEXEC.BAT and added C:\ARACHNE to the path in AUTOEXEC.BAT. It also created a batch file to start Arachne. The modem and Internet setup wizard also worked well. * Insight seems to generate the mail indexes a bit faster. * The Pixel32 website at http://pixel32.hypermart.net/ can now be accessed normally. In Arachne v1.5 SRC, most of the screen turned dark blue. * Arachne v1.6 uses more memory. I only have 70K free instead of 90K free with Arachne v1.50 SRC when online * The Batfiles page at http://bigfoot.com/~batfiles still "loses" memory. For some reason, Arachne v1.50 SRC "loses" free memory as you scroll down the Batfiles page, which eventually results in the Arachne low memory screen warning page * Much of the documentation HTM pages refer to it as Arachne v1.5 * The Printscreen to BMP works great The Ctrl-P works but only with virtual screens enabled (which are used when there are graphics or for large pages) Essentially the entire web page (and only the webpage) is captured as a BMP file (_4prt.bmp). As Glenn mentioned, the exportbmp.dgi line in MIME.CFG is missing (which renames the BMP to a filename you enter) but his suggested entry for exportbmp.dgi works. If the page is large, this could result in a HUGE attachment On http://www.ttcsweb.org, the resulting BMP was 5.4MB which results in a email message over 7MB which overwhelmed my 8MB ramdrive. I guess the proper thing to do would be to after pressing Ctrl-P, export it to a BMP file first, then convert the BMP to a JPG or GIF and send the smaller file. * Arachne v1.6 shell to DOS has also been improved :-) (wasn't mentioned in CHANGES.TXT) : You can shell to DOS and regardless of what directory or drive you are in, when you type exit, you will return to Arachne without any problems In earlier versions of Arachne, you had to make sure you were in the Arachne directory first before typing exit. * When I press "?", I do see some stuff, but I have no idea how to interpret it. (my machine specs : P166MMX, 32MB RAM, Tseng ET6000 video card running PCDOS 7.0 with a 8MB RAMDRIVE and TEMP variable pointing to it) Dev Teelucksingh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Interesting DOS programs page at http://www.opus.co.tt/dave
