The hole in the messages I spoke of: last msg. glennmcc | Oct. 2.2003, 4:37:46pm,,\"They were completely down.....\" | next msg. glennmcc Oct.7, 7:36:18 . There inbetween was my message and I | think others too. | The browser:Arachne 1.69 (works nearly ever) | SIO-driver: Ray Gwinns (the only working one) | Setting: RTS and CTS on,(XON/OFF=off) | Dos settings: DOS=high, DOS=UMB | These DOS settings were the only one which I used all the time with | Ara1.69. Then I made 2 or 3 times chkdsk with the ServiceDiskettes and | 1.69 worked only in terminal mode. | The aforementioned DOS-settings for games are many: DOS_HIGH, | DOS_UMB,HW_ROM_TO_RAM=ON, HW_TIMER=ON, IDLE_SECONDS=60, | IDLE_SESITIVITY=100,VIDEO_FASTPASTE=ON,VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION=OFF, | VIDEO_ROM_EMULATION=ON.

NO...!!! | don\'t do that delete.. | ... | Not until we get your directory structures straightened out, so that | you do not have your mail directories located within your general | Arachne install-location...and we need to get your ArSYS files located | outside in their own directory, too....so..... | .. | First thing you need to do, is email-attach me a copy of your CONFIG.SYS | for your working, now-installed Arachne, especially I need to know where | your email-directories are located, and where your COOKIES, HISTORY, | HOTLIST, etc are located... | ... | Once we get those items separated from your general Arachne-install | directory, we can do some deleting/reinstalling.... | ... | | | ============================================================================ | | Thu, Oct 09, 2003 - 10:44:23 pm | | gregy> | Gerald....CORRECTION..!!!...my brain isn\'t working, at all, right now.. | ...you need to email-attach me a copy of your ARACHNE.CFG...not your | CONFIG.SYS... forget the config.sys.... | ...he he... | | | | ============================================================================ | | Thu, Oct 09, 2003 - 10:50:00 pm | | gregy> | Gerald....SECOND THING we will do....oh..well...we\'d better just wait | a bit, until we get your directory structure straightened out...AND... | I want to get you \"fix-paked\" up to FixPak40...and get you running | Arachne from a RAMFS ramdisk.

Arachne-on-RAMdisk is the ONLY way to go...and that | means, ArachneOS2, also.... | ...in fact...the generic OS/2 ramdisk FSRAM is THE optimum, RAMdisk | available on any OperatingSystem, today...with it\'s auto-resizing, | on-demand-allocation....it can\'t be beat....so... | ...we\'ll get your ArachneDirectoryStructure straightened out, get your | Arachne fresh installed, get several different ArachneProgramReference | Objects setup for your different uses....then get you setup with a | nice FSRAM installation, and FixPak40...and....get you a couple of | the \"DOS from Drive A\" specific DOS and Win3.1 diskimage installs to | play with, and...maybe we can even get you a W95diskimage running...it | seems that it may be possible....(don\'t quote me on that...because I | haven\'t yet tried it myself...)... | | | ============================================================================ | | Tue, Oct 14, 2003 - 2:59:15 am | | gregy> | Pete and Stef....you\'ve got another home, here.... | ... | PETE...I\'ll leave you a partial wish-list, here, later today.... | he he....you KNOW it\'s gonna be a loonnnnnngggg one, if I hafta go | sleep on it..... | | | ============================================================================ | | Tue, Oct 14, 2003 - 5:11:35 am | | Geminga> | A fella named John Lineburg asked for a quote on \"80186R\" CPUs. | As a prefix, \"R\" means 68-contact LCC package.

Note that some earlier DOS applications | have "help" options which do not follow this convention, for example, | Norton Utilities 4.5 used just "?" to provide help information.

Does that xmsdsk have a pretty good README...for Bear to | get into, as a second step....??? | ... | Whatever....we should be able to get you running Arachne from a RAMDisk | pretty easily....you're "computer literate"....and used to reading | the manual...now...since your profs have hammered that into you... | . | ... | Basically...the HELP and READMEs are gonna lead you into: | 1. Using your existing DOS MemoryManager (whatever that may be...I am | using DRDOS EMM386, now...but probably changing to QEMM in the near | future) to set up several MegaBytes of your (unused, in DOS) RAM as | a RAMdisk. This RAMdisk will have a standard FAT file structure...so | it'll be "business as usual" there...no surprises, etc | 2. Getting an Arachne Installation set up to use that RAMDisk...and I | can help you get the optimum there....I use it religiously... | (hint - one of the key factors it to do an original Arachne Install | to the RAMDisk, then xcopy it down onto a HDD. Then your A.BAT file | you launch Arachne from is written to xcopy Arachne from the HDD back | up into the RAMDisk, each time you fire up....this only takes a few | (15-20) extra seconds...) | ... | Anyway....we can discuss it further....and help you out...and you'll | soon be running "OptimumArachne"....whereever you go.... | | | | ============================================================================ | | Sun, Dec 21, 2003 - 4:34:37 pm | | gregy> | LEKA...Welcome to the ArachneMessageBoards Community......as | Bear said, there are a number of other of these boards....you'll get | used to finding all of them, after a while..... | ... | As for Insight Mail being written in Pascal....NO...sorry...all of the | various major Arachne Package parts are written in C... | | ============================================================================ | | Sun, Dec 21, 2003 - 4:41:06 pm | | gregy> | LEKA....I thought that Delphi also coded into C...doesn't it have that | ability...???....or does it only code into Pascal....????
