Its status is "alpha" because it is having inexplicable problems on some machines, and it is rather slow. >> That is exactly why I started the DPMI port.

Well, the interest in the DPMI version has been very low; there have been only 445 downloads of it to the present day, and I got very little feedback. I guess it is only natural that when other things took precedence in my life and my spare time dwindled, DPMI Arachne was the first victim.
