Anyone who has Arachne v1.71;UE01 can already see that little "feature" in operation. Just place this into your URL line and hit 'Enter' file://dirdgi.htm It uses this line in Mime.cfg file/dir.dgi >htm|dir $klastdir \|$esystem\\dgi\\fixmem dir>$2 ('fixmem' is referring to 'fixmem.com' written by Clarence Verge) Also, here's another little 'trick' that wwwman.exe can do. While viewing a directory containing several MP3 files. Just change '*.*' at the end of the URL line to read '*.mp3' As soon as we press enter... all of the MP3s will be fed to our player program as a 'playlist'. Here are 2 screen-caps. http://www.angelfire.com/linux/glennmcc/images/ (mp3-1.jpg and mp3-2.jpg) This works equally well with *.MPG and *.AVI -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
