Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Greg M,
         That there are Arachne compatibility 
problems with Freedos has been a known fact for 
some time. Whether specific issues are documented
I do not know. I am not familiar with Freedos
myself and I have never used it...unless....
it could have been on some bootable floppy
of some program that I used.

Eric
