Depends on what you mean by that. I am still getting Arachne to do new
things and I am surely not the only one. Maybe the core is not going to see
any more quantum leaps, but Arachne's capabilities don't depend ONLY on the
core.

Which is still progress.

Got to agree with that. L.D. summed it all up pretty well all round.

Sure. :) Oldies, but goodies !

I am not so sure. :)
I use DOS and Arachne every day in my business. And my brain is not dead.
Yet !
And I am sure I'm not the only one with an on-going interest. So, in spite of
some of the postings to this list, I have confidence in Arachne's future.
And it won't rely on hiring anyone.
Regards,
Ron
