Hi list, I deleted my mail script and realized that A171;UE01 *is* usable for me. Then I tried to find out what parts of my .asf file probably cause the xSwap error I complained about.
I know this is a difficult problem and do not expect any fixing. Just for the records: 1. Arachne can run .asf files even through a SHIFTFn hot key without xSwap error 2. lines containing difficult smtp: and pop3: accounts - OK 3. lines containing file://local.htm files - OK 4. lines containing reload:file://local.htm - OK 5. lines containing reload:local.sht file - crashes with "Memory allocation error: illegal xSwap operation at line 792 of file HTMLUTIL.C!" Arachne parses the SSI tags in .sht files with the help of shtml.exe, an Arachne APM. According to Michael that program may be "buggy". But xSwap error probably occurs when entering to that program or when returning to Arachne, right? When I tried to delete and replace several parts of the local.sht file I got quite different results, eg. an SSI tag in the .sht file was parsed correctly once when I left out an ordinary REFRESH tag in the .sht file that was expected to call another .sht file. Then I tried to reload another .sht file from the script and Arachne locked up! This seems to be quite complicated, but what is important: Everything (.sht, refresh, mail protocols) works as long as I call them outside the .asf script. May be Arachne 1.71 could be distributed with a short paragraph in changes.txt like this one: "A few Arachne users report .asf files to cause xSwap errors if they contain nested structures, eg. REFRESH or SSI tags."
