After much previous frustration, failure, kicking of cats, I had managed to get GS505 working for Arachne. I now find (with the same tweaking) I can get GS705 (ex. OS/2) working as well, and it doesn't choke on some of the PDF file errors that GS505 did. In case it may help some others, this is what I did. ( Arachne is installed in d:\ARAC171, and TEMP is set to a RAM disk. ) 1. In MIME.CFG, I added the lines: application/pdf >HTM|@call pdf2htm.bat $1 $2 file/.pdf >HTM|@call pdf2htm.bat $1 $2 2. In the main Arachne directory, I placed the file PDF2HTM.BAT, being: @echo off echo Ghostscript is currently busy converting the given PDF file to HTML. echo This can take up several minutes. echo Would You like to have some coffee...? del c:\gs705\gs705\lib\gsmustdo >NUL del d:\arac171\cache\page*.* >NUL c: cd\gs705\gs705\lib argh %1 gs386 @gsmustdo >%TEMP%\gsout.txt htmlgen >%2 d: cd\arac171 3. In the directory c:\GS705\GS705\LIB I added a) ALL the font files from GS705 b) ARGH.EXE from Joerge c) HTMLGEN.EXE from Joerge d) PDF2HTM.BAT from Joerge (without the changes of the one above) e) PDF2HTM.INI from Joerge f) GS386.EXE and DOS4WG.EXE from GS705DOS.ZIP The directory c:\GS705\etc, etc is NOT in my path - I found that it didn't help, so I didn't do it. This now works for me. Thank you Joerge. :) Regards, Ron Ron Clarke http://homepages.valylink.net.au/~ausreg/index.html http://tadpole.aus.as -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
