No, I am not happy with the constraints of Windows and DOS, nor with the
ones of Linux; that was the prime reason for starting my project. Of
course, I would never expect that someone who never used DR-DOS
understands that.

And who would you be referring to? I used DR-DOS before it was OpenDOS, and then I used OpenDOS, and then I used DR-DOS after it wasn't OpenDOS again. I used it from the command line, and I used it to run PC-GEOS on,
and then later it's successor, GeoWorks... and then its successor, NewDeal. Matter of fact, I never ran Arachne on MS-DOS, but only DR/Open.
Of course, if you had been around this list... actually, the original list a while... you wouldn't have made such an ignorant statement.

Nor do I understand why someone who knows DOS would
prefer to use a clone of an OS of the late sixties instead. But like you
said, to each his own.


  LOL!  I see you host your site on Apache.  'Nuf said.
