JS would be the easiest thing to start with, since it could be added
piecemeal. And my core has lots of room, that's no issue.

Sure it's possible. If I had any complete 16 bit C SRC for an app that uses
it now, I could cut it down to it's core functionality and then build
that into Arachne. If DPMI, then it could be called as a .DGI but still
interfaced seamlessly. All I'd need -- all I've ever needed -- is
someone to work with who understands SSL and DPMI *and* a crew of
users and testers. I have the coding skill, but not the knowledge of
how SSL works.
