Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Hi Udo,
Your right, everyone has his own
needs or desires. And the 1 floppy rule was
broken long ago by Ray Andrews with his
usual setups, but glennmcc often trimmed
them down for the public distro.
And if someone incorporated JS and SSL into
Arachne at a reasonible size I'm sure no one
would object.
But, I agree that APM add-ons would be the
ideal way to go.
