   Because Arachne was designed to work in DOS, with the executables to run 
within the 640 kb orthodox memory.

   Those other browsers you mentioned (Netscape, Opera) all require Windows.

   The main Arachne download site is:
http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/

    Other Arachne-related sites may be found from links at that website.

   The best way to see what Arachne can do is to install her - remember, 
Arachne runs in plain DOS, and does not run in either Windows or a Windows 
DOS-box !

   It is also worth noting that Arachne is still being actively developed.

Regards,
         Ron
