First of all the "$t\" should be "$t" - otherwise it will not work with
older DOS versions.
(BTW: I just noticed that Lineo has several old kernels for download at
http://www.lineo.com/support/archive/drdos/drdos.html)
Ok, I haven't tried this (espacilly since I haven't installed the program
yet) but something like this would perhaps be better since it doesn't make
Arachne start Arachne.
file/.pdf TXT|@c:\\xpdfdos\\pdftotex.exe $1 $2
And if this (or any other idea - including Glenns <g>) works perhaps it can
be a part in upcomming Arachne versions? (the program is under the GPL so
it's doable).
