I am thinking about fixing the most common problems and complains, because
it is starting to be really boring to read the same complains all the
time.
I just found out, that 60 seconds timeout in MINITERM is not enough for
long handshake of some 56kbps modes, connecting over lower-quality lines.
I made the timeout user-configurable for next relese.
Clarence Verge suggested to remove unneeded Waitfor?/Reply? keywords from
sample Arachne.CFG files, and I can only agree; I can include commment,
that there can be more waitfors and replys, instead of adding meaningless
samples.
Bernie suggested mouse driver detection; I think this is something, which
should be made as DGI script, and ran from installatino program in the
same manner as packet driver detection; additionaly, wizard can add driver
to autoexec in the same way packet driver is added to it.
Can someone point me to some free and small mouse driver to be added to
package ? (I think Bernie wrote or suggested some driver, or maybe I am
wrong?). (The wizard portion won't be ready for 1.62, but I can add driver
to package just for case - I was just installing Arachne to Windows
machine, and there is no driver in Windows 9x DOS mode :(
Any other suggestions ? What should be default value of "show me terminal
window when dialing" ? Should I disable it ? Which default settings of
Arachne WWW browser you have to change most often when installing to
friends computers ?
(Note about external editor: it can be easily added to F4 key, but adding
it to mail composer is "logical problem" - as the mail message is being
generated to disk when you hit Send or Save to Outbox buttons, I can't
easily edit the message before submiting the mail.... and also editor
must be called as DGI, and Arachne must return *somewhere*, to some
location, from the editor. It is rather tricky than simple... it is not my
intention to prevent users from using their favourite text editors :-(
