Bernie, I have rewritten the aracdial.bat file, and sent it in as an attachment in a post to the list about an hour ago. Shortened the script to eliminate the text boxes and so many setscrn's. Right now, I have had trouble getting the script to go to arachne once the packet driver is installed. Hangs up once in a while. I just tried it, and it works, so I'm in Arachne via Netdial right now. I'll keep testing it. Tried CALL and once I exit Arachne with ALT-X it goes back to this script and terminates the packet driver with the :END part. Saves having to ALT-H and then ALT-X. Thanks, Michael L.

I see why you sent this to me sted the list. In case anyone would try to read this with Arachne, we don't want the script-start and script-end tags and other less-than symbols messing things up. So I cleaned up the quotes above to be sure that won't happen. As usual, you are correct, and I appreciate it. I deleted the less-than symbol within the script, and then Arachne was able to display the page. - -- ...This msg brought to you by NEIL PARKS Beachwood, Ohio mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.en.com/users/neparks/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2000 20:00:03 -0400 From: "L.D. Best" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: shell game (#973) I'm way behind on mail, but ... Neil, Don't think it has anything to do with QEMM, since I run QEMM and haven't seen that problem with Arachne. I have, however, seen it with QEMM when Optimizing and I have to enter a space or whatever to get past the gripe about a protected batch file. So I'd look to see if there is an extra blank line at the end of any of the cfg files, or in Arachne.bat, or ??? QEMM seems to pass through "blanks" ... You might try looking at the files with a HEX editor to see if a space isn't one or a blank line has a hidden character or ??? l.d. ==== On Sun, 30 Jan 2000 01:57:15, Neil Parks wrote: > On 28 Jan 00, arachne-digest wrote: >> From: Clarence Verge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Subject: Re: shell game >> Neil Parks wrote: >> > >> > In many cases, when Arachne on the home computer (the one with QEMM) shells >> > out to DOS to run an external process, it displays the msg "Bad command or >> > file name", but then it runs the pgm anyway. >> > >> Check my post re: SHELL to DOS >> In MIME.cfg >> file/dosshell.dgi |@call $e\\system\\dgi\\dosshell.bat $e >> Should be: >> file/dosshell.dgi |@call $esystem\\dgi\\dosshell.bat $e > Tried that.
