(Odds'n'Sods = Bits & Pieces in British slang) Forgive me if the following points have already been covered -- I've just ploughed through 2MB of other mail. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" On 16 January Dale Mentzer asked "What is Quick Start?" Look in your Arachne directory for a 100 byte file with no extension and a strange (to me) name. I renamed it a.bat and it allows Arachne to be started from within any directory by typing a <enter> at the command prompt, assuming a.bat can be found by your PATH statement. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" On 16 January L D Best noted problems with installing Arachne, including a missing toolbar error message. Same for me. No response to a request for toolbar.tb at Arachne Chat so I cleared some more HDD space (I had about 1MB free after the first attempt at installation) and the second installation worked. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" On 17 January Michael L Dawley mentioned the page load time overlapping the clock on a 640x480 screen. Thanks to Clarence Verge for saying the same info is available (and for as long as the page is on screen) in the Alt+M info window (after HTML atoms). The messages at the foot of the screen are often truncated for 640x480 users, showing static info. Can the user edit these messages? The buttons, while OK for my (current) levels of visual acuity and motor skills are too small in the slinky desktop style, or too small globally e.g. the history list button. Is there a screenshot of the Toolbar? Couldn't the 640x480 user be given the choice of whether or not he has enough screen space for it? """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Mention was made of InSight Mail requesting a floppy etc. This all seems to be down to the location of temporary and other directories set up in Local Settings. For the first-time user especially, these locations should all be preconfigured to the Arachne directory. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The Quickpad link on the Utilities page needs editing. Use F4 to edit utils.htm -- look for quickpad.ah halfway down the page and alter its location to read: <A HREF="system\gui\quickpad.ah"> then Save&View.
