- echo --------------
- echo *.OOKs are simply DOS batch files. I added this feature to Arachne,
- echo because I wanted to allow easy and secure launching of DOS applications.
- 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
- echo upload files, instead of opening them. And what would be worse: picture
- echo someone launching ARACHNE.BAT or AUTOEXEC.BAT from Arachne!
- echo So I decided to use special extension for normal *.BAT files. It's easy,
- echo it allows easily 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 OOKS\ subdirectory.

- echo Why ook ?

- echo This word is used in very funny conseqence in Czech translation
