Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hey Wiz,
  I'm not sure if there was a DOS version of Links or
not. I may have used it in OpenDOS7.01 or DrDOS7.03.
I still have a couple of Links executables, one is an
0.83 version, and the other an 0.98v. The 0.98v, I
used in win2k, and it's 32bit, and used some cygwin
DLLs. Both are textmode only, I do remember that. I
used 0.98 from cmd.exe in win2k.
  I thot the developers might checkout what others are
doing and how they are doing it, to get ideas, or even
possibly source code, depending on licenses and
accreditation, for Arachne. One of the beauties of
OpenSource, is the amount of sharing done.
