Still no fix.
Please see pause statements in PDF2htm.bat and output from print screen:
--- begin pdf2htm.bat ---
@echo off
del gsmustdo
pause > nul
del \arachne\cache\page*.bmp
pause > nul
argh %1

gs386 @gsmustdo
pause > nul
htmlgen >%2
---- end pdf2htm.bat ------

If I run this by clicking on a PDF attachment found in an Arachne email
message, I will get an empty HTML file as before. Furthermore, I will
get error messages saying that it can't find the files it needs, even if
I include C:\PDF in the search path. I have made sure that all the files
it needs and asks for are there.
Maybe you should make prepare a list to indicate which files should go
in which directories. You might need to make some changes in your source
to take care of the problem of the "invalid drive specified". With my
setup I can run Arachme from either C:\ARACHNE or I can run her from my
ramdrive in D:\ARACHNE. If I don't know which files belong in which drives
and directories, then I cannot use this program.
