Friends:
I will be "off the air" for sending/receiving email for a while
until I can get my DOS-based browser, Arachne, to communicate with
my internet service provider. When I return, I may have a different
email address.
Arachne, is available free from Arachne Labs in the Czech

There is a story, possibly apocryphal, that a Microsoft engineer
once remarked, "Well -- if our software didn't bring your computer
to its knees, you wouldn't have a reason to upgrade."
Today, February 15th, is the anniversary of the dedication of the
first computer, the ENIAC, in 1946.

Clarence, et al:
I concur that "C" is a vastly overrated programming language,
although I'll admit that CORE, APM, EPPPD, INSIGHT, MINITERM and
WWWMAN were all written in Borland C++. Of course, "C" isn't
quite so bad as APL. I prefer Pascal, having written utilities
in that language ever sin
Sam:
Thanks, Sam! The Sysop for my ISP is coming by Tuesday evening to
see if we can figure out why Arachne keeps dropping into his BBS
mode. I've had some excellent suggestions and even sample CFG
files from Clarence Verge, too. But, so far, no luck in making
connections. I'm beginning to

I can sympathize with you. For the past month, I've been trying to
get Arachne 1.69 to connect to my ISP with the same results. My ISP
has offered BBS service and I've been (and right now) using it for
e-mail, but when I try to connect as a browser, I fall into his BBS
mode. For some re

I am still trying to get Arachne 1.69 to link successfully
with my ISP. Although Steve Fox, my ISP Sysop, has given me some
good and helpful information, it's still not working. I suspect
the trouble is something obvious -- once it's found. Here are
some questions I have:

Thanks. I'll disable Useterminal and, if it works, I'll let you

Thanks for the help. I'll try it.

Arachne Wizards:
I'm still having trouble linking to my ISP and would
appreciate any help you can give me. As I said in an earlier
message, when I dial my ISP, I find myself in text mode, as if I
were trying to access my ISP's BBS system, rather than his Web
site.
I asked my ISP Sysop a
Clarence:
Although assembly (or machine) language is good for writing things
that have to squeeze the last bit of speed out of a routine, or for
writing code which can't be done in a high-level language, and BASIC
is OK for quick-and-dirty little programs, I think the best choice

Thanks for the reminder, Eric. Although that IS my login name,
the password shown is NOT my actual password.
I hope you can discover what's wrong with my setup. Arachne looks
like the solution to my problem of keeping email access without buying
a new computer in order to run Windows
