Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! I absolutely think the same thing. Arachne is the best or only dos browser and we do like it so much. But so many dos program work without any problem. For instance (works, word 6, BGFAX, Milec( The editor (www.milec.com ) Do you have a dos antirus. F_prot is not release since 2005. I would like to say, the dos soft are really better than the windows soft Yes arachne is for me an extraordinary hope to continue to use my dos soft.
