[arachne] dr webspider and arachne

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi,
in Back To The Root forum iìve found a adiscussion about arachne and 
dr webspider.

---snap---
DR-WebSpyder is really based on an old version of Arachne. As far as 
I know, Caldera bought licence from Arachne's author, and they added 
some features (as limited JavaScript support and some improvements in 
HTML rendering). They also compiled everything with DJGPP using Allegro 
for graphics; Arachne is a 16-bit Real Mode application built with 
Borland C++ 3.1 (and written in C, not C++), using a proprietary 
graphics library from .

While DR-WebSpyder might be sometimes faster (because it is 32-bit 
and does not have to constantly swap memory using XMS, EMS or disk, as 
Arachne does 
---snap--

If really dr webspider it's make usng a old version of arachne and 
work in dpmi and have Js support, whay arachne don't have this 
feathures?
It's hard to implementing this in new arachne version?

And  last, if  caldera release the source of open dos , it's not 
possible using the source of Dr webspider under permission?

Cheers
