Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Udo,
To get the answers to some of the
questions you pose, I suggest that you
ask Ray certain poignant questions:
1. Why did he change the directory structure
so that his core no longer is compatible
with Joe's version?
2. Ask him if he ever intends to work with
the "adulterated" standard version.
3. Ask him if anyone has tried to get him
to keep his improvements compatible
with the Arachne Distro available at
