Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Hi Jason! > Seems like a reasonable idea to me.

Well, currently it is still a DOS of the present, but if you want to know more about it, just follow the link at the bottom and read the "About" page. > Regarding the serious use of Arachne vs the toy use... > There are too many sites I use regularly that prevent me from using it > as my main browser. The last time I tried paypal and ebay had issues. > The list of others I use that don't work with Arachne is quite large. So > I'm curious how you manage to Use Arachne as your main browser. Or do > you? I do everything I can do with Arachne. If I need SSL or Arachne fails for some other reason, I use Lynx instead. If there is "light" Javascript code in a page, I often try to rewrite the page to make it work with Arachne before giving up - sometimes one only needs to add code to display a "submit" button in a form or something like that. More often than not, it is sufficient to just look at the Javascript code closely enough to find out which URL it should direct one to and enter it manually. I also have a Mozilla browser installed on DOSLinux, but I regard it as a last resort and only use it for web sites I desperately need to use, like the one of my university. > p.s. Don't forget: Some people's main comuter is a 386 :) Yes, but this would definetely be a rarity nowadays. :-) Regards, Udo -- The DR-DOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project - http://www.drdosprojects.de -- This mail was written by a user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/ Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Premier GPL Web Browser/Suite for DOS --
