I changed to the following under IBM PC-DOS 2000 (added some ECHO Y | here
and there)

@echo off
rem usage: clrcache.bat (cache.idx) (cache path) (TEMP path) (filemask)
rem I guess those "DOS forever!" freaks among Arachne users will like this
;)
if exist %1 ECHO Y| del %1
if exist %2*.??? ECHO Y | del %2*.???
if exist %2headers\*.??? ECHO Y| del %2headers\*.???
if exist %3$ROURA$.BAT copy %3$ROURA$.BAT bat.tmp>NUL
if exist %3*.??? ECHO Y | del %3*.???
if exist bat.tmp copy bat.tmp %3$ROURA$.BAT>NUL
if exist bat.tmp del bat.tmp

Thus far is seems like Arachne does not hang anymore. On the other hand,
those tiny dashes still appears across the screen, and when pressing the
"Clear cache" on the "Lock file detected" dialogue the screen does not get
cleared. In other words, the dialogue is still there after clearing the
cache, and I do not get the Dial page.
