That's going to require a lot of memory. Even at 640x480 256color. 12000 x 640 = 7,680,000 pixels. In Hicolor mode... multiply that by 3 bytes per and you get 23,040,000 just for the pixels. (plus a little bit for "overhead") At 1024x768 Hicolor..... 1024 x 12000 x 3 = 36,864,000 plus overhead. Of coarse, tht's only going to be used if you have a pge to create a screen shot of which is 15.625 "pages" long. (over 15 hits of the pagedown key to view the whole thing at 1027x768) This message is just a little over 4 "pages" at 800x600 hicolor. I'll create a screen shot and see how big the BMP is. Volume in drive L is MS-RAMDRIVE Directory of L:\ARACHNE 4-PAGES BMP 5704914 12-06-02 10:00p 800 x 600 x 3 x 4 = 5,700,000 (since it was a little over 4 pages, a little more than that is the final size of the BMP) > At the HTML+gif complete page - CTRL P > There are several options available: > Export as BMP, changing PAGE.BMP to c:\arachne\somedir\micdoc.bmp > click on export. > Arachne proceeds, but no file created.

Change this line in mime.cfg file/exportbmp.dgi |[100]COPY /b _4prt.bmp $w$s>NUL \n del _4prt.bmp (__________________________ remove the $w ______^^) This will "unlock" it and allow you to save to any drive/directory. (so long as that directory already exists) The only draw-back is that now you will have to specify a drive and directory every time. If you don't specify one... the file will be saved into the current directory.

You must have Cjpeg.exe in your path for this to work. file/bmp2jpg.dgi |[100]cjpeg -q 95 _4prt.bmp \n del _4prt.bmp > Clicking on Preview get's a red box.

"Preview BMP" will give you a tred box after you tried convertiong to JPG because that line in mime.cfg deleted the original BMP. > Having a quick look in MIME.CFG there is a pile of what looks like > relevent stuff.

Only one change is needed in mime.cfg (removal of $w) [if you don't mind always needing to specify the drive and directory) The other change is not to Arachne itself but to simply make sure that Cjpeg.exe is in your path. > Could we have a "dummy's guide to options available at CTRL P" > please Glenn ??

I know because I used to have one of those too. http://www.concentric.net/~ravitz/ v1.32m is dated Aug 18, 2002 and is in a ZIP of only 295,502 bytes. This ZIP includes BOTH the Dos executable AND the windows executable.
