Bernie,
Great suggestion.(thanks for the tip)
I found Gdisk v1.1.1 here....
http://www.whitehorse.com.au/~bevanne/GHOST51C/GDISK/gdisk.exe
Unfortunately the manual is in RTF format.
http://www.whitehorse.com.au/~bevanne/GHOST51C/GDISK/gdiskman.rtf
So, we need a way to view RTF files in DOS.
I've just D/Led and tested Martha.com v1.7 (it works great)
http://www.cena.dgac.fr/~sagnier/index.html (French version)
http://www.cena.dgac.fr/~sagnier/indexa.htm (English version)
http://www.cena.dgac.fr/~sagnier/info/formats/conversions/martha_a.htm
http://www.cena.dgac.fr/~sagnier/info/formats/conversions/martha17.zip
Here's how to add it into Arachne so that we can view RTFs without exiting.
Change these 3 lines in mime.cfg
---old lines---
text/enriched RTF
text/richtext RTF
application/rtf RTF
---------------
---new lines---
text/enriched >HTM|@call rtf2htm.bat $1 $2
text/richtext >HTM|@call rtf2htm.bat $1 $2
application/rtf >HTM|@call rtf2htm.bat $1 $2
---------------
---rtf2htm.bat (place in your arachne_main directory)---
copy %1 temprtf.rtf
c:\1common\martha.com temprtf.rtf
copy temprtf.htm %1htm
rem Don't put a ^^^^ '.' between '%1' and 'htm' in the above line.
del temprtf.*
--------------
(change the path to _your_ path to martha.com)
BTW2, Sorry for the 'cross-post'.
I figured that several members of the Arachne list might also find
this information useful.;-)
