I'll answer a bunch of these in one mail:

L.D and Clarence are refering to the APM.EXE that was in 1.5b2 (which had
an incorrect mime.cfg string which made it useless) and Dale to the idea
that have been up but never implemented (backup).
Now the sollution to this "problem" (sorry Clarence the only guess I can
make is that the drive you're installing on doesn't have any free space) is
either:
1. Wait (Michael has got the version I made for "1.50b3" (since a few days
ago) and perhaps it will come in 1.60b2)
2. Change mime.cfg so that apms are saved instead of installed from the net
(problem here is that the name is then lost and you get a name like
12345678.APM - fix is to wait for Michael to add the utility "acopy" to
1.60b2 that I sent the source for at the same time as apm.exe).
The new APM.EXE will automatically save the file with the correct name in
your download directory. It's good to know where that is - I couldn't
understand why nothing was put in c:\arachne\download until I remembered I
had changed it to c:\download <BG>
3. Complain to me so I'll put them both up on the net (problem here is that
I need to go to university to get ssh access so I can log in to my arachne
account - I might go tomorrow so I'll let you know sometime during the
weekend if it's up).
And putting it up as an APM will not solve Clarence problem either <G> so
I'll need to remember that a ZIP and RAR version is needed as well.
To test my APM.EXE (again) I'll download and install the new hotlist
manager on-line.
BTW: The fastest sollution might be to get the APM version (for 1.50b2/b3?)
that is on my homepage - PLEASE read the instructions before complaining
that it doesn't work. But I'm not certain of which version that is (or
even that I remembered to copy it over to bernie.arachne.cz).
