OK, I've kept out of this one long enough.<vbg>
Here's how I tested it.
Made 300 copies of the same .JPG file. (001.jpg through 300.jpg)
Then created these 2 .ASF files....
---test1.asf---
file://h:\test\001.jpg
file://h:\test\002.jpg
<snip>
file://h:\test\149.jpg
file://h:\test\150.jpg
-----------------------
---test2.asf---
file://h:\test\151.jpg
file://h:\test\152.jpg
<snip>
file://h:\test\299.jpg
file://h:\test\300.jpg
-----------------------
Mime.cfg was then modified
fastimage/jpeg JPG>BMP|$edjpeg.exe -bmp $1 $2
(added this to the above line)....
\n$ewwwman.exe -c $c>>h:\\test\\testidx.htm\ncall h:\\test\\testhtm.bat
---testhtm.bat---
type h:\test\testdvd1.txt>>h:\test\testidx.htm
dir l:\arachne\cache>>h:\test\testidx.htm
type h:\test\testdvd2.txt>>h:\test\testidx.htm
---testdvd1.txt---
<pre>
---testdvd2.txt---
------------------------------------------------------

The cache was cleared just before loading test1.asf
Test2.asf was run directly after test1.asf
1) 001.jpg was loaded and converted to .BMP (that .bmp was saved in $c)
2) contents of cache.idx were placed into testidx.htm
3) first divider line was placed into testidx.htm
4) directory listing of $c was placed into testidx.htm
5) second divider line was placed into testidx.htm
Steps 1 through 5 were repeated 299 more times.
All of this resulted in this file.....
TESTIDX HTM 15223452 2-29-00 10:35p
That's right,
We now have a 15mb file which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt
that what Bernie has been saying is in-fact 100% correct.
"256 _is_ the limit".
Testidx.htm has been converted to testidx.txt
(testhtml.zip and testtext-zip)
All of the files needed to do the test yourself are in test-idx.zip
Volume in drive H is MCCORKLE_06
