Hello Arachnids:

I just tried to access the URL named below.  What happened is
that I got a 404 error which identified my browser, in this case
Arachne 1.70, rev 3, my operating system (DOS), my ISP, and my IP,
the resolution of my monitor, and the fact that I had a WATTCP.CFG
configuration file, and the date/time of my access.  Up until just
now I didn't know that a web site could determine so much info on
you simply by your accessing a URL, unless you have a JavaScript
enabled browser.

You all might want to check it out yourselves in trying various
browsers.  I accessed the same URL also by using Lynx386 for DOS.
The same kind of results were returned, except the URL failed to
indicate the resolution of my monitor and it failed to note that I
had a WATTCP.CFG.

Regards,

Sam Heywood
