Thomas,
Since the problem you describe makes no sense to my benumbed mind, a
couple of questions:
When using Arachne, hit F10 for 'desktop' and select "Your Computer":
-- Does the D: drive show there?
-- If it shows & you select/click the D: drive, what happens?
If you can find the D: drive within Arachne that way, and if you can
'click' and see what's on the D: drive, the problem is not with Arachne
not finding it.
I suggest that you do the following ... it may seem to be overkill but
should pinpoint where any problem *actually* is.
Inside Arachne hit O for Options, select/click LOCAL and go to the
bottom of the page ... there are 6 fields there for cache, history, etc.
Make certain that for each you give the FULL PATH of where you want it.
For example, I have Arachne installed in T:\Arachne so my history list
is entered as T:\Arachne\History.lst while my cache is on the RAMdrive
and is entered as V:\Cache\ etc
If you do that, things should work as intended.
However, I'm confused about you "uncommented" all references to TEMP in
your autoexec.bat ... All that will do is cause Arachne to ignore any
"cache to temp" setting in Arachne.cfg, unless you have your options set
so that one of the paths shows something using the TEMP directory ...
since you can't use what's not there, that could cause problems.
Could you send your AUTOEXEC.BAT, ARACHNE.CFG, MIME.CFG, and CLR.BAT
(which should be found in \SYSTEM\DGI\ of your Arachne installation.
l.d.
P.S. Please don't blame ARachne for WinModems not working with it;
they're not really modems and won't work in DOS at all.
