Charles,
Why oh why must you be an a--? Someone on the list had
said that Arachne was a "32 bit DPMI DOS program"...I
was only pointing out that Arachne IS NOT 32 bit, does
not need DPMI. Some of the "plug-ins" are DPMI, but
not Arachne. If that doesn't appear knowledgeable to
you, up yours sideways. As for problems using the 16
bit APM to handle graphics, perhaps my success versus
your FAILURE illustrate how much I know, and your sever
lack of knowledge of anything useful. Now, shut up old
man, crawl back under your rock. Another list grew tired
of you, this one will also. Oh, one other thing, Arachne
versions prior to the 1.6X releases DID NOT have CWSDPMI
included! So there, dipstick. If you have nothing
constructive to say, why do you make rude comments?
Go drink a glass of Ensure, take your Metamucil and your
ExLax, maybe then you'll get a bit of relief and be
in a bit better humor.
