I sent the following to this list on Dec 31, when majordomo wasn't listening so here it is again: <G> ***************************************************************************** Hi; I'm not sending this to bugs because I'm not sure and it isn't dangerous anyway.
I was pretty sure I had finally figured out MIME.cfg (still sure):) and the ">ABC|" is just the extension appended to the numbered output file written to TEMP or CACHE. I thought there should be no reason to worry about that extension if your .DGI specified its own for a different target (not a numbered temp file). This works: ....dgi |TYPE $q|qfix>$q Ok, $query$.tmp is special and Arachne will always use a .tmp extension. This works: ....dgi |TYPE $q|qfix>player.cmd Ok, that's what I thought - the extension is specified and the target isn't $1 or $2. This works: ....dgi |TYPE player.cmd>player.bat See above. This DOESN'T work in A1.62/66/70: ....dgi |TYPE player.cmd>player.bat\nTYPE clip.tmp |dirfix >>player.bat. Never mind what dirfix is, it's NOT the problem. Arachne hangs and drops to DOS in a strange VGA textmode if you hit ^C twice and give the proper answers to:"Quit batch file ?y/n". BTW, player.bat is not created. This *DOES* work: ..dgi >BAT|TYPE player.cmd>player.bat\nTYPE clip.tmp |dirfix >>player.bat. Player.bat is created and contains the proper material. Why does the extension specifier matter only for the SECOND (after \n) command string ? BTW, Happy New Year all ! - Clarence Verge -- - Help stamp out FATWARE.
