Arachne 1.97 released 2013-Mar-06

Arachne DOS browser has been “officially dead” since 2008-Dec. Nevertheless during the over 4 years since then, there were cca 3 top-secret updates, and in 2013 March, glennmcc decided to release version 1.97 including them all. The released 1.97 files again got “silently” updated at least one time, and now also RayeR ’s patch to allow up to 1600×1200 screen resolutions is included. The standard 80387 version as well as the 8086 version and source code are available. There is and the was no 1.96 version.

Arachne CORE.EXE 2012-Oct-07

http://glennmcc.dyndns.org

Arachne DOS browser has been “officially dead” since 2008-Dec. Nevertheless during the over 4 years since then, there were cca 3 top-secret updates. To get latest version, re-download the 1.95 package http://glennmcc.dyndns.org/arachne/a195gpl.zip and then download the separate new core http://glennmcc.dyndns.org/arachne/core-768.zip and place it into the installation.

(update: this is now obsolete, forget it, and get Arachne 1.97 instead, see Arachne1972013Mar)

YTCRACK 0.21 2013-Jan-04

http://users.ohiohills.com/fmacall/

Fred released version 0.21 of his YTCRACK tool to download videos from YouTube in DOS. You can feed the YouTube address manually in (as HTML file) and obtain another HTML file listing the movies found (same movie in multiple resolutions and formats), then you can download the movie with Arachne (needs the latest “core-768.zip”, YTCRACK is the reason for the update). Alternatively, there is an YTCRACK APM, using it visit the YouTube page, press [F2], click the addon button, and you should get the list of downloadable movies, when saving, you will have to delete the several 100 char’s long garbage, and specify a valid filename instead.

Use it ASAP as YouTube may change behavior soon, and YTCRACK will stop working.

Glennmcc writes in his forum http://glennmcc.dyndns.org “/aqccc_home/nospam.php” 

I think I figured-out what might be going wrong for you with ytcrack.apm

Edit mime.cfg and change the ytcrack.dgi line as follows.

file/ytcrack.dgi >HTM|@ytcrack\\ytcrack.exe $L $2 \n copy $2+ytcrack\\ytcrack.res $2
____________________________remove_all_of_this-->^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Now you'll have just......

file/ytcrack.dgi >HTM|@ytcrack\\ytcrack.exe $L $2

And ytcrack.res won't get appended to the file that's output by ytcrack.exe

Computerworld published 2013-Feb-05 a long article about FreeDOS with an interview of Jim Hall.

Thanks to RayeR, a fairly recent version 0.10.6 of FFmpeg is available for DOS.
