Hello L.D.:

I understand exactly the phenomena you are describing here, and I have
experienced it many times myself and with much frustration.

This problem has to do with the screen resolution for which the page was
designed.  If you are using a video setp for 640 X 480 resolution and
you access a page designed especially for 600 X 800 resolution or greater,
then some images and text will overlap.  This is not an Arachne problem.
It is a problem with the website designer who ignores the compatibility
problems that some users will encounter when they access his site.  Arachne
is working as it should.  Some website designers are not working as they
should.

All the best,

Sam Heywood
