Make sure that you replace apm.exe with the one from 148 beta. According
to Mr. Polak, the apm.exe with 150b2 is defective.

Problem #1 ^ . I had this problem with PTS-DOS, but it disappeared after
installing DR-DOS 7.03 . Perhaps you should upgrade. Remember to get the
further fixes, also.

..this ^ . I tried running Arachne from a ram disk, but it caused
problems. It's just about as fast (some places a little slower, others
actually a little faster) with no RAM disk and the following cache
settings:
NWCACHE 7670 1024 /LEND=ON /DELAY=ON /FLUSH=OFF
As this uses write-behind and no flush before returning prompt, remember
to use nwcache - (flush and disable) before turning off.

Intel LAN-desk (win95) says bbs2html.exe contains hooters virus.
Actually, I don't really buy that.

As long as it's not a doorstop. For that, you need Microsoft Office
service pack...
