Hi Roger; I guess I wasn't clear on that. I WANT to stay on the page I'm viewing when I hang up. I just don't see any reason for Arachne to re-render it for 3 mins.

I can only suggest that you put the VESA driver in your autoexec if you used vesa when it worked, or run setup and select another video mode. p.s. I have found that altX will get you out of the video setup if you are at the graphical selection screen, but if you are in a loop where it does not recognize your video mode you are stuck !

Does anybody know what I am > talking about or could help me? Hello Matt: The error message that appeared but very briefly on your screen probably said "Out of Environment Space". This kind of error is due to either not having enough memory, or having an improper configuration for memory, or failure to set a large enough environment variable. See your DOS manual and read your Arachne documentation files for more information. Your machine, having 8 MB RAM, has more than enough memory to run Arachne; however, if you load too many drivers and devices in the lower 640K region of memory you will have problems. DOS internet programs generally need lots of lower memory. <snip> Sam Heywood - -- This mail was written by user of Arachne, the Ultimate Internet Client ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 09:25:40 +0100 (CET) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Richard Menedetter) Subject: Re: One more graphic browser for dos ?

If you want to move the files then you can do that (as long as z: is free). You'll need to change your partition table (fdisk) after each drive is copied, and reboot and so. It works (and is rather easy), just make sure you don't accidently remove the incorrect drive, I lost ca 200-300MB of data which I don't even know what it was (so no big loss anyway <G>). Another sollution is if you have two computer (and a network) is to set up Personal NetWare and copy everything from one computer to the other. However there's a limit in how many files this will copy (or perhaps with DR-DOS xcopy) so it might not work (didn't work well for me and I instead tried the above idea I got instead). //Bernie http://hem1.passagen.se/bernie/index.htm DOS programs, Star Wars ... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 13:07:21 -0800 From: "Gregory J.

Appear to be functions to setup and send bmp to printer !! Good stuff. I wonder what other stuff is hidden in all these .AH files for future use. <G> BTW, I did get a minor lock-up BEFORE I edited the export screen that may be related to some of the unused stuff. I tried to get off the screen and got a DOS message overlayed onscreen: "Fault writing device PRN: A_bort, R_etry ?" Neither A nor R worked. I altXd to DOS and STILL got the message. Cntrlaltdel required. - - Clarence Verge - -- - - Help stamp out FATWARE.
