Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi Joe,

Looking at the files I downloaded, lsppp101.zip suggests the version
is 1.01.

I did the change you suggested which results in the arachne.cfg line
"Multitasking Safe"
This was originally set to "Yes". I also tried the value "No" but the
delays remained :-(

BTW I have LoadImages set to No

John
