If you load the packet driver *before* loading Arachne, then you
can easily produce PATH.CFG by a routine you would include in the
batch file for loading the packet driver.
Please post your method of calling up and running Arachne after you
have first loaded the packet driver.

How would you do that? In order to produce PATH.CFG you would need to
run a program to get five variables from somewhere. Four are easy.
Netmask and and the two nameserver values are usually fixed, and %MYIP%
is set as an environment variable, but where do you get gateway after
IP-UP.BAT has been deleted? Maybe this variable is written to some file
when you run Arachne. If this is the case then you can figure out how
to do it. It might be easier just to modify ARACHNE.BAT so that it
doesn't delete IP-UP.BAT upon quitting by ALT X.
