Subject: XSwap error with SSI
Hi Glenn, Michael & team,
I am not really memeber of the team, to be true...
many, many thanks for the new release. I finally went through the files and put together an upgrade for my customized RAM installation. The new (not yet documented) dgi variable $k sounds very interesting. Will it be possible to use it for new keywords added to arachne.cfg? Just a few remarks: 1. The layout of prtbmp.ah does not seem very logical to me. I would expect "Export as BMP" and "Convert to JPG" in two different dialogue boxes. Preview of .bmp file and print as .bmp should belong to the first one, ale the rest to the second one.
At least I hope it disappeared from Save As dialogue ;-) (or not ?)
Configuring anything which is not default in DOS (which means anything) should be only optinal, IMHO. But Antiword APM would be nice, but I am too lazy to release it.2. Mime.cfg: in view of the codepage mess I would not recommend to view rtf files with martha. The code is not available and it does not read Czech. Last week I had to open some ugly Czech rtf documents. I finally succeeded with 'unrtf'. The source code is available (for Linux and DOS) and a programmer will probably easily change the conversion for the 8bit characters: the existing version of the program produces html with West European entities. For East European documents, it should just leave the 8bit chars as they are.
As I told, complete rewrite is needed. Which means programmers with open-source experience must be attracted to join the project, which means open source release of at least somesthing at www.freshmeat.net, which seems to be just too big headache for one person. It's question of shift from "pretending that I am software company" attitude to more community-oriented approach. I can provide lot of expertise on "how web efficient browser should be written" - much more, than when I started to write Arachne. But I don't have any energy left to code it on my own.3. I am afraid that 171UE is less useable for me than 170r3. Xswap error returned, and it seems to be worse than ever.
It is not my SSI support, it is SSI support by Vitex, which means it is probably buggy ;-)It now appears although I do not use any 'reload' at all. What crashes Arachne are probably two shtml files with I run with Michael's SSI support program. When I call them from my mail script I get Xswap error in line 262 of URLOVRL.C
