Under Linux in all packages exist xPDF (as i remember...) 
util. Much more faster than Acrobat Reader for Linux.

Not less then 60 MIPS (486DX100 good enough) processor.
Enough RAM for decompressing - 2 times more then size of
file. And most important is sound card <g>.
That's all as i know.

BTW i have hardware mp* player which can be connected to
lpt port and it  work even with 386sx16 with 2 MB RAM
(tested !).
Maybe 286 will be enough too. No sound card needed. Just
printer port, which exist in all computers and HDD or CDROM.
Just two small chips. Size of card is less then 3*4 cm.
Total cost near 8-10$. But it need some software
interface, written in C or Pascal with all this bangles 
and whistles, and i not able to do it good enough.
Now it work in pure assembler without any user
interface(even without command line, just in hex codes), 
cos i keep trying to fit control program in microcontroller.

I check it with big document with lot of graphics.
How large it was ? Enough. Near 15 MB. 
I have it at my site, so it don't take too much time to 
send it. Just ten lines in Perl (near 2 minutes). 
After 2 days i got only first page without any images (it 
was title of book with just three lines of text). Other 686 
pages lost in cyberspace.

Subject: Sound Blaster 16

Hello all,
I have a Sound Blaster 16 sound card, and wish to use it with
Arachne. I do not have the DOS driver for it. Right now, I have
it running in WIN 98 with the sb16.vdx driver that WIN 98 set up
for it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: Urgent: Arachne Browser

Hi Michael,

  >>> Brian Murphy: afraid they would be violating the Arachne copyright by
making up a  ready to run copy for downloading.<<

<<Michael Polak: They don't have to modify entire package. They can just
rename working ARACHNE.CFG to COMPUSRV.ACF and offer ACF file for download.
Arachne users can easily reconfigure Arachne by opening ACF file in
Arachne.>>

well, that's not exactly what Brian was told.  :)
and it's not quite as 'automatic' as that sounds to have
it just 'go' :)

He asked for someone to create a 'will run for
anyone on CompuServe' package for Arachne :)  I figure we'll
figure that 'perfect' scenario out about the same time you do
for your auto installer not to mention that none of the members on
CompuServe are paid to do extra work like that.

There is already available on the CompuServe DOS Internet forum
instructions for setting up Arachne with and without the internal
dialer, they didn't work on his PC (sound familiar <g>).

The CompuServe forums will be open for the public to use starting
April 3rd but require Javascript and now they require an HTTPS
login.  I don't know how close you are with Arachne to getting
to either of those

Folks can, with just javascript capability, download files and
read messages there, http://go.compuserve.com/inetres

A problem with putting together an ACF file is that the other
things that the setup program does for them sooner or later would
come down to cutting and pasting the Arachne.CFG file and the .ACF
file together and it's not quite as straight forward as it seems
with the number of options that might set for a particular PC.

I haven't had time to work on it but I figure there
would probably be a way with  .ASF scriptoing or something or better
to add, in the Options screen the ability to
specify a dial script file to be included on [Save] instead
of needing to type each line.

This is a dial in Arachne script that works for CompuServe in
the U.S..  Of course if you're using Netdial, or Chat.exe, or
Bobcat, or Lynx, or UKA_PPP with Arachne as a helper app, then
you want to use Connection Ready & usually an
IP_Address %MYIP% line and not have this script in
play.  It would be nice if Arachne could check to see if there
is already a connection in memory before having trouble
with no PPP LOG entry etc, but that's just a workaround that
sets up in the batch file, creating a clone of the Arachne.cfg
file and starting it with a batch file that changes it based on
what program the user uses to dial.

- ------------------ Arachne.cfg dialer for CompuServe U.S. ----------
Autologin Yes

WaitFor1
Response1 \w\r
WaitFor2 Host Name:
Response2 CPS
WaitFor3 User ID:
Response3 @?
WaitFor4 User ID:
Response4 \u/noint/go:pppconnect
WaitFor5 Password:
Response5 \p

PPPusername [put CompuServe UserID here]
PPPpassword [put CompuServe password here]


We have provided copies of Arachne.cfg files to use and dial
batch files etc too and how-to set it up files :)

But basically, there isn't anyway yet to give them an ACF file that
doesn't need to be customized for their situation (ID, Password,
modem port, speed, PC speed, etc).

Houston, we have a problem ...

I went to angelfire, and to the login page to get signed on.

The login page is shmtl.

Multiple attempts to log in resulted in error message, that I'd left
certain fields blank.  I hadn't.

However, with the length of the form involved, when I click the "submit"
button, the top few fields don't show on the screen.  Could this be a
problem with 1.60b1 ??  Or has angelfile.lycos.com changed their sign-in

Subject: dumb question?

Today I ran across a problem I haven't had before.

I set up an ACF for my 3rd mail account, and every time I tried to
download mail the process was aborted.

I couldn't figure out why!  I looked at the POP3.log and it showed I'd
gotten in and had gotten to LIST & RETR then nothing.  I couldn't figure
it out!

I went online with primary account, went to mailstart to see if I could
get web access to that account.  No problem, lots of messages, etc.

So I looked at POP3.log again.  Discovered that I want another bell &
whistle added Arachne -- an option, not necessarily a default.

I would like to be able to set up POP3 log with more than one file name,
so that I can have that log [backup for lost messages] for more than one
e-mail account.  Currently that log is overwritten every time mail is
downloaded, so there is no backup if a download is interrupted and you
have to start again.  Huh?  No backup?  But POP3 software won't erase
your mail from the DELE commands unless a proper QUIT is received,
right?  WRONG!  Apparently there is a a new Linux version of POP3 out 
there, and since it saves each e-mail as a separate file, and not the 
old single flat file they used to have, the DELE command is obeyed the
minute it is given ... before the next file is even list/retr 'd.

Now, for some of those who have had terrible problems with aborted
downloads and having to start over from scratch each time they try
again, this would indeed be a blessing!  However, it backs the backup
pop3.log more important.

Currently, if I download my lstewart mail, the pop3.log for that d/l is
overwritten when I then download my l.d.best mail.  That's why I'd like
to be able to have a differently named pop3 log for each of my mail
accounts.  Is it possible?  And no, I don't want each download appended
to the existing file <G> ... my HDD would fill up in no time!

Subject: Re: 1.60 in VGA mode !

Dale,

The problem wasn't with my viewer.  The problem was that I was looking
specifically for VGA.something or VGA.  Since I've a VESA card and have
things jacked up as high as they can go because of the Pentium I run on,
my Arachne.pck doesn't *start* with VGA anything.  It starts with Hi16

But, if I did run a VGA card, I still couldn't have successfully edited
the file.  It is one long single line and my editor only allows 255
characters per line, and I think that means the file, after editing,
would no longer be in the original format.  Oh well ...

I still wonder why cache items end up in that file though.

If I have time you will be able to go to http://gnu.arachne.cz/ later today
and download it. The version that Glenn was refering you to was an older one.

Other things that will come are:
cgi.h
dgi.h (so far unreleased)
lopif (currently removed?)

Just give me a little time (I just woke up <g>)

BTW: Perhaps you should try and cooridnate with me and/or Michael on what
you are doing. Michael has changed in InSight and I have changed APM.EXE -
and comming around to InSight soon (hopefully). So this isn't the actuall
latest source (that's spread between my computer, Michaels and Vitex (who
have hotlsman but you probably already knew that)).

Try debug instead. My favorite binary editor is a program called bedit
which I would be happy to upload for anyone who wants it (I've lost the URL).
And yes you are right, even if you had a text editor that allowed for
longer lines it wouldn't be very wise to use it for changing these things.

Correct. (I wonder why it's so big, my compilation is 10.7K - what did I
leave out? <g>)

Aha! So installing APMs with length of their name above 9 chars didn't work.
Move apm.exe from system\dgi to your main Arachne directory, next change
your mime.cfg to reflect these changes. And voila :) (I hope)
Now why doesn't it work for you earlier? I guess you have changed the path
settings to be exact. (This have to do with the maximum length on the
command line).
IIRC we have already gone over this (with 1.50 s.r.c) IMHO apm.exe should
be moved down to the main Arachne directory again.

Visit http://bernie.arachne.cz/apm/ later today for a program that you can
add yourself to Arachne (requires that you manage to install an APM <g>)

IIRC the APM allows to include changes to configuration files (I never
tried,  so I dont remember in detail).  Wouldn't that work?

I think I'm missing something.
Does that mean that when EPPPD is loaded high you *can't* use a server
assigned IP address?  Or how does Arachne gets the address if there's no
PPP.LOG?

Hi Clarence,

  CV>PDFTOTEX EXE   964341  99/08/04  10:23

That's the one I've got, too.

  CV> I:\XPDF-0.90- 17:30:37>PDFTOTEX F:SUPPORT.PDF I:SUPPORT.TXT
  CV>Load error: no DPMI - Get csdpmi*b.zip

I tried this again... no problems.

I don't understand why not, but I *do* have the runtime dpmi program
elsewhere on the machine as I use the Protected Mode version of
NTReader (Reader for NetTamer).

However... rtm.exe and dpmi16b1.ovl are NOT on my path and are on
a different drive.

I'm using the msdos EMM386... maybe this is it? What are you using?

Mike

Hi Glenn,
Hi All,

I downloaded the APM-package before posting my question, but it contains
not the newest sources.. (1.50 to be exactly)
I'm asking for the link, because Insight and HotlistManager have changed
from 1.50 to 1.60b1.

Thanks,
Christoph

Subject: PGP-frontend as APM for Arachne

Hi all,

thinking about the future perspective of our lovely Arachne, I thought
about including some encryption for e-mail communication.
As most of you know PGP is THE standard for SECURE e-mail-traffic.
The DOS-port of PGP is controled about the command line (parameters).
It should be possible to make a html-frontend for Arachne
(dgi,mime,etc.), which any user could download as an seperate
APM-package(frontend+PGP).

This is just an idea, so I don't want to start with this project, if I
don't know, if it would be useful for some of you!!

Please mail any comments!

Regards,
Christoph
