Michael (xChaos),

I beg to differ, you DO NOT NEED TO REVERSE ENGINEER CORE.EXE
TO READ THE OBSCENITIES!  You can read the file with a viewer
such as VIEW v 8.6, or another I have called SEE.EXE...or, if
you are industrious, you could even fire up a hex editor just
for viewing, such as HEXIT...the phrase is in plain view.  Now,
granted that no all of us are extremely bothered by such
phrases, there are some who may object to these words.  Perhaps
it would be wise to change the phrase required for
registration, then issue a new registration key to registered
users upon request.  Current registered users should send their
registration key to you as "proof of purchase", upon which
Arachne Labs would simply issue the new key to unlock the
registration passphrase (the new, non-obscene one, hehe).  This
is only a suggestion.

Regarding "stupidity" on Microsoft's part, that may be, I
prefer to withold judgement at this time.  Other software
programs have used the exact same TEMP setting (SET
TEMP=C:\DOS) for quite a number of years now.  They do this by
writing temporary files with the "TMP" extension.  Perhaps
CLR.BAT should be re-written to delete ONLY temporary files
created by Arachne.  Might need a bit fo fine-tuning to change
the file extension of temp files, but it shouldn't require too
long.  At the least, a warning box upon Arachne installation
should caution the user to check the TEMP variable and make the
necessary changes..."MD C:\TEMP, SET TEMP=C:\TEMP, SET
TMP=C:\TEMP" or whatever!  Again, only a suggestion.

C U L8R!
