It would be much nicer to be able to install a new Arachne from a .ZIP file, and
copy, and if necessary slightly modify, the previous ARACHNE.CFG, than to run
the ARCHN*.EXE and go through the "wizards". How did software install "wizards"
get that name? It is rather disconcerting to go through that clumsy scrolling
during the install when it would be so much smoother to edit a configuration
file.
Has anybody had trouble accessing one's own files with Arachne 1.67? I tried
arachne e:\asave\mail\charset.mes
offline, and got Arachne load error. Arachne 1.48 did OK with the same file.
After the lack of success with Arachne 1.67, I typed dir (4 spaces)(F3) to prove
that the file really was there, no typo on my part. F3 played back the
remainder of the command line from the previous command.
