(Is this a typo in 1.71?) Also set Cache2TEMP to NO. Now this is working well. ******************************************************************** I have .JPG not converted to bmp but to .GIF and virtual screen enabled. Converting to BMP does not give a vertical scroll (x-axis) of the image but a JPG image does... and now the GIF is stored in the cache too. ******************************************************************** There is a problem with black and white BMP-images => red box. This problem exists in all Arachne versions as far as I know. Would it be possible to convert BMP to GIF in Arachne... without an external program? Than this problem would also been solved. ******************************************************************** >>> Cache2Temp Yes >>> is only used for "local" files.

(No idea what $roura$ means) Would be nice to have the temp cache deleted at a (new) start of Arachne and I think that could be done by placing the delete codes to the start of Arachne.bat and not at the end. The files are indeed in the C:\TEMP\Arachne.tmp, I looked with F10. :end rem if exist $roura?.bat del $roura?.bat rem if exist %ARACHNETEMP%\$roura$.bat del %ARACHNETEMP%\$roura$.bat rem if exist %TEMP%\$roura$.bat del %TEMP%\$roura$.bat if exist *._$b del *._$b REM if exist %ARACHNETEMP%\*._$b del %ARACHNETEMP%\*._$b REM if exist %TEMP%\*._$b del %TEMP%\*._$b if exist ip-up.bat del ip-up.bat if exist ppp.log echo Type 'arachne -u' to terminate SLIP/PPP connection. if exist lock del lock if not exist %TEMP%\ARACHNE.TMP\*.* goto done for %%f in (%TEMP%\arachne.tmp\*.*) do del %%f rd %TEMP%\arachne.tmp>NUL :done echo. >>> And of-coarse if all else fails.
