Ron,
FYI...16 bit SSL and JavaScript have been done in past! Windows 3.1 has Opera
as well as MS IE, probably others as well, but both of these I've used. JS
support doesn't work as well, mainly due to script sizes exceeding memory
allocation, as well as new function calls in later editions. SSL up to 128 bit
is supported in MSIE5.
Neither of these are dependent on 32 bit opcodes, since Win32s are not required.
In DOS, it may be only 32 bit code is available for SSL, don't have any idea on
JavaScript. Never seen a DOS browser with JS support.

Hi Folks,

Arachne is GPL. There could be complications with paying for a
programmer, regarding the GPL licence. Payment may be linked to
ownership.
And I understand that JS and internal-SSL would require porting to
32-bit code, not a trivial task, which wouldn't come cheap.
There is already a work-around or three for SSL, and maybe there might
be a way to develop at least a partial work-around for javascript, too.
So, let's not choose the most expensive option first. :)
