Some people might find this batch file useful:
----------- begin ADDNAME.BAT ----------
@echo off
REM Program Name: ADDNAME.BAT
REM You could run this program in DOS shell while running Arachne.
REM Optionally, you could easily develop a much more nifty method of
REM accessing and running this program.
if "%1" == "" goto HELP
if "%1" == "/?" goto HELP
if "%1" == "?" goto HELP
if "%1" == "/H" goto HELP
if "%1" == "/h" goto HELP
C:
cd\
cd arachne
echo "<BR>" >> addrbook.htm
echo "<A HREF="mailto:%1";>%1</A>" >> addrbook.htm
echo.
echo Email address: "%1" was appended to ADDRBOOK.HTM
echo.
echo Press any key to continue.
pause > nul
goto END1
:HELP
echo.
echo Usage:
echo.
echo This program is used to create or append to an email address book.
echo.
echo Syntax example: addname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
echo.
echo This will create or append to a file named ADDRBOOK.HTM
echo.
goto END2
:END1
exit
:END2
--------- end ADDNAME.BAT ---------
You may edit and modify the above as needed. BTW, this same program
also works while running Bobcat/Lynx when shelled out to DOS, but you
will need to modify the directory names to suit your setup. If anyone
likes it, please let us know.
