echo What is this ?
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 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.

echo Why "ook" ?
echo -----------
echo Answer can be found in Terry Pratchett's books about Discworld.
