Glenn, something is mangled. First my Mozilla crashes on your page. Second, with Netscape I just download the following: med-physio11:~$ ls -l ar* -rw-rw-r-- 1 gjones gjones 1021462 Nov 28 20:57 ara171ue.exe -rw-rw-r-- 1 gjones gjones 1186108 Nov 28 20:58 ara171ue.zip The zip file is the right size, but the exe file is not! > > The machine is a 1.3 GHz Athlon with 256 MB memory!

Ahh, it is optimized almost to the limit, 624K free low memory, 15Meg XMS, 16 Meg EMS, 32 Meg VDISK for Arachne Cache, write delay caching to the hardisk and the harddisk is in UDMA 6 mode. Arachne page rendering is almost too fast to notice compared to downloads, even though I have consistent 53K dialup connections. The only things I didn't try yet are putting the DOS SHELL and other DOS bits into high memory, and also trying to load DOSPPPD in high memory. I will take those downloads home tonight, and try them tomorrow morning. -- Gregor J Jones mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston MA
