Hensa recently barred to its cache to users outside the academic
community.  So, in your WWW style window, replace instances of
wwwcache.hensa.ac.uk with www-cache.demon.co.uk, and you should find
everything works again. ArcWeb comes with this setting for http, ftp, gopher
and wais proxies.

And now, can anyone help me?  ArcWeb (versions 1.30 and 1.32) has suddenly
started throwing up a save box whenever it receives an in-line graphic,
instead of simply displaying it.  Yet I'm not aware of having altered any
settings. In the Browser Options window, "GIF89 handled by ChangeFSI" is
ticked, as are all five options in the General section.
