Yes, indeed! Which is why I don't understand why there isn't more
interest in the DOS development community in Arachne development.
There seem to be all sorts of other ongoing DOS projects with
talented, creative programmers.

But what are these DOS developers going to use for a browser on their
modern machines?  Well we know the answer to that already. For browsing
they don't use DOS, at least not very much.

I'm all in favor of anything that will attract more developers to
Arachne.
