You call that "a page" (singular) ???????
That's not "a page". It's 56 pages long ! :((
I was finally able to get a "virtual screen" created so that I could do
smooth scrolling.
Arachne.cfg manually changed to....
VirtualScreen 30000
According to my calculations....
30,000 x 800 = 24,000,000bytes of memory required to create this vscreen.
IMVHO,
You should stop complaining that Arachne can't do "smooth scrolling" on
pages like that. (if you don't have 24MB of memory available for vscreen)
You should *start* complaining to the web page designers who keep making
such ridiculously long pages!!!
(like *that* would do any good) HA ! :((
But seriously, you are right.....
We need to figure-out a better way for Arachne to create its vscreens.
