It's all very well and good to worry about getting newbies 'hooked on Arachne.' However, current users *should* be taken into consideration when updates are issued. I hate being forced to go through the entire installation process [there still is no gracefull exit from install once you've selected video mode] just to upgrade. Yes, at present I run parallel -- keeping a working version while running a full install of the newest version JIC -- but I have lots of HDD space still, and if I were a guy I'd wear both belt & suspenders. I shouldn't have to do a full install and sit down and carefully compare each exe & bat & cfg to see if something major has changed. I see no reason why -- even if Michael doesn't want to put it up on the website -- a zip file of each new release couldn't be put up on the server and the direct URL sent to the list. Everyone on the list uses Arachne, right? l.d. ==== On Mon, 6 Nov 2000 19:10:48, Christof Lange wrote: > <snip> But the selfextracting archive and > wizards are designed for newbies.
