Hi All!

Well, so far Arachne 1.65 has done pretty well, except (always an
exception) for a couple of problem sites, might be related to the fonts
use in 1.65 compared to 1.62...1.65 sometimes displays a zero with an
eyebrow on sites with small choice menu links, 1.62 displays only the
normal underlined links.  Also, some images are no longer recognized,
most notably for me is the Weather.com Weather Magnet I have on my web
page at
http://mshhomepages.talkcity.com/RightWay/wizard57m/index.html...get the 
old red box display, 1.62 correctly show the image, which is nothing
more than a GIF file generated by www.weather.com and posted to my site.

The other problem has been hashed and rehashed, that one is the F8, kill
cache function.  In my experience, this worked much better when it was
handled internally by CORE.EXE, rather than a seperate DGI batch file.

Overall, speed seems to have improved, especially on cached pages, but
sometimes a large web page seems to take longer to download than with A
1.62.  I also got caught in a loop at ZDNet, in the TalkBack section
reading other readers comments...1.65 cycled through endless repetitions
of d/l image, verifying image, cookie etc. but never displayed the full
page.  A 1.62 did not exhibit this behaviour.

Looking forward to 1.66!!
