It can work, at least for JPG viewing. It's probable that the POP command just isn't being executed. I've never used Arachne with PS/PDF files so what happens then I can't say, but when Arachne deals with JPGs it creates the $roura$.bat file and runs it, which ultimately runs arachne.bat ! All very recursive, but it works. It's possible that in doing all this you are loosing the pop command or, if the push is in arachne.bat, it's being executed twice and popped only once. What works for me is a weird extension of my normal text viewer driver file: --------------> ; VC driver ; Arachne expects it's cfg and key files in the cwd so we need to save ; the current one, change to the Arachne dir and run it from there and ; finally return to the original cwd when Arachne exits ppd push d: CD \arachne DEL cache.idx XDEL %temp%\arachne.tmp\*.* /N CALL arachne.bat %1 ppd pop <-------------- Arachne.bat is perfectly standard. With my setup (Arachne 1.70, VC (NC clone) under DRDOS 7.03's taskmgr) that does JPG conversion/viewing perfectly and returns to the original directory. I forget how that setup evolved, but it works.
