Hello,
...and again I'am writing abt. the ARACHNE-browser which can be used with
TSTHOST.First of all. You can download ARCH148B.EXE from www.naf.cz/arachne
The file is a SFX of 940K long. Version 1.48b is the latest version of 1999
You can use ARACHNE with at least a 386DX with 4MB and SVGA a mouse can be
used but also the cursor-keys.
After install of ARACHNE you first have to configure CORE.EXE. Go to
C:\ARACHNE and start CORE answer the questions and off you go...but...
CORE.EXE will NOT works within the SHELL of TSTHOST because of the 142K
left-over memory so you have to use SHROOM. SHROOM will swap TSTHOST from
memory to your harddisk
Alter in your START.BAT
TSTHOST /T /I253
into
SHROOM \TSTHOST\TSTHOST /T /I253
Then you can run CORE.EXE from the TSTHOST command-line and view HTML and
pictures, no animations.
After you done this you can follow the instructions in the original message
below.
Tnx to Fabrice, F4BJH for the correct adress of the ARACHNE site.
Have fun with viewing HTML+graphics with TSTHOST for DOS.
73 Henk.
p.s Have to go to sleep now, it's been a long day/night!

>VIEWING HTML messages with TSTHOST possible ?
>(For all those DOS minded people and WINDOWS haters)
>
>YES it is possible ! That will say in DOS with TSTHOST 1.43b (tested)
>
>HOW ?
>
>With the DOS browser ARACHNE available at the internet at:
>
> http://www.nat.cz/arachne
Wrong must be www.naf.cz/arachne
>
>* Download ARACHNE en install it on your HD
>* Make a directory HTML in your TSTHOST dir
>* Make a directory HTMLIB in your TSTHOST dir and put in it all the
>messages available at:
>
> http://www.geocities/com/capecanaveral/launchpad/7916
Wrong! must be www.geocities.com
>
>* Now edit your TSTHOST.EXT and put in the line:
>
>.HTM C:\ARACHNE\CORE.EXE !
>
>(of course you need to change the pad if ARACHNE is somewere else on your HD)
>
>When you receive a HTML message and want to view it. Choose it from the
>list and instead of reading it you do ALT+M then TSTHOST asks for a file
>and type in the path to your HTML dir. For example :
>
>C:\TSTHOST\HTML\filename.htm
>
>(Don't forget the .HTM on the end)
>
>Then in TSTHOST you go to your file commander with ALT+F7 and go to the
>dir HTML. You choose the filename.htm en ENTER. If everything is allright
>the ARACHNE browser will start and you can view and read the HTML message.
>
>You can also do it more automatic with a macro. Though disadavantage is
>that the macro will pick up all the messages instead of one at the time:
>
>Here the macro that I tested, it will save all the messages to HTML and
>WINPAC. The macro needs to be in TSTHOST.MAC. You can start it with the
>command HTML filename (no .HTM the macro does it for you).

># HTML viewing with ARACHNE. Autosave HTML/WINPAC messages

>Disadvantages viewing HTML in DOS with ARACHNE:

>* No ANIMATED .gif
>* No background pictures, if in .jpg
>* WinPack DDE links will not work

>Advantages:

>* View HTML without WINDOWS
>* Finally it's possible to read HTML more easily
