- echo *.OOKs are simply DOS batch files. I added this feature to Arachne,

- echo I was afraid to simply allow launching of *.BAT,*.COM and *.EXE files from
- echo Arachne: in web browser, you ussualy want to send or upload files, instead
- echo of running any executable file. And what would be worse: picture someone
- echo launching ARACHNE.BAT or AUTOEXEC.BAT while running Arachne...
- echo So I decided to use special extension for normal *.BAT files. It's easy,
- echo it allows easy installation from Arachne Packages (*.APM), and icon can
- echo be easily changed by modifying WWWMAN.CFG. Just write batch files to
- echo launch you favourite DOS apps and place them into OOPS\ subdirectory.
