Hi:
I just installed Arachne version 1.70 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 400,
being a 100 Mhz Pentium machine with WIN95 installed. So I am
writing this message while running DOS 7.0, the version that comes
with WIN95. This will be my first attempt to send an email. I'm
using a 14400 external modem. So far everything is looking good
and no problems now with load error pages on this machine. I did
have these difficulties at first, but I think I have found a way to
fix the problem. More on that later after more experimentation.
BTW, this machine doesn't have a real mouse. It has a knobby sticking
out of the middle of the keyboard and you push and pull and poke on the
knobby to make the cursor move. Then you click on one of two keys
located at the bottom of the keyboard. It is hard to get used to. I
would much rather prefer to use a real mouse. The driver it was designed
to use is probably some kind of special windoze thing. For using it
within DOS I tried installing Daniel Nagy's Cute Mouse Driver for the
PS/2 mouse. I was quite surprised to find that this driver works just
fine, even on this kind of oddball pointing device. BTW, I used his
version 1.4, dated December 1997. I haven't yet tested my pointing
device with later versions. Well, I just wanted you all to know that
my new Arachne installation on this laptop seems to be working just
great. Now I'm going to see if it will send this message. Bye for
now . . .
All the best,
Sam Heywood
