I'll think I'll respond again...
Whichever version of apm.exe that's in 1.60b1 (my "first 1.50b3 apm.exe"
version according to the source, not so according to mime.cfg) these
problems exist:
1. The name isn't the correct one. (12345678.apm instead of hotlsman.apm -
first fixed in the "newer 1.5b3 apm.exe")
2. The image error.gif has been moved but this hasn't been changed in the
code. You'll see this when you download apm's from my pages - I've even
made a security.apm to get around that (if you manage to install that one
of course). Michael can't I be trusted by default soon? (add
http://bernie.arachne.cz/ to security.cfg)
The sollution is to download my acopy.apm (solves the first problem) or my
(first?) "1.60b2 apm.exe" (this is getting ridiculous - I need to have a
version number on them soon <BG>) (fixes both problems at once).
BTW: xpdf090.apm is now uploaded (and reachable - I forgot to set the
access rights on my apm/ directory earlier). You'll need to download
acopy.apm as well.
Still nothing of all this solves the problem that (IIRC) Clarence had. Can
you get back to me with specifics on:
* Where temp, download, cache and main Arachne directory is
* Free space on this/these drive(s)
* DOS version and any command.com replacment
I did however noticed that leaving "license=" out of an apm.id locks
apm.exe (CTRL-ALT-DEL needed) when installing - this should probably be
handled a little better. I feel a "newer 1.60b2 apm.exe" comming ;-)
Other things I need to change are the error handling, now it says that it
might be an old apm (v1) when:
* unarj.exe is missing (it should IMHO be moved to system\dgi as well)
* the apm file can't be found (only affects off-line usage)
BTW: Michael, the error that comes when downloading a page and clearing the
cache at the same time (I don't know why I did it just that I did) could
probably be delt with in a better way. (Always stopping download first and
then clearing the cache). Or perhaps it's up to the user not to do
something stupid like what I did?
