Yes, I have Win3.1 and I have used Opera (but not IE !!!!!!!).
I was under the impression that Opera was 32-bit. I stand corrected. :)

And that is getting worse - I read somewhere recently that JS is
getting extended. :(

JS - no, neither have I.
But SSL - yep ! I have just been experimenting with calling
"Links -g" and Elinks from within Arachne - and they work just fine.
This gives Arachne a "helper" to deal with SSL pages. Links still has a
memory leak on my machine, but Elinks is performing exceptionally well.
I never could get the Lynx call to work, so I have replaced that
button on the "Save as" screen with a call for Elinks, and it is running
perfectly.
That's what I meant about work-arounds for Arachne SSL.
JS is another matter. I can get navigation and media hyperlinks from
inside JS sections using NEmedia, but I haven't looked any further than
that yet. (www.ausreg.com/nemedia/)
