I used the standard: cd\arachne
arachne.bat -r

See previous answer.

No, none whatsoever. :) That always worked just fine.
To my eternal embarrassment, I have been able to return to Arachne
on-line in the last few days, and I don't know why things have changed.
I have had a second hard drive installed (1.2 GB, of which I can use 500
MB) and the young techie appears to have disconnected my CD drive while
he did it. But I can't believe that this would affect Arachne being able
to find an already-loaded packet driver, but what do I know.
My theory is that someone has been pointing the bone at my machine,
but has now forgiven me.
Regards,
Ron
