I see there is a 2010 version compiled for linux with SVGA display.

That was a proof of concept only.
It was never fully functional, there was no one able to make the full
conversion to Linux.

What part of it does function?


And some javascript support, but not SSL.

None of the Arachne versions have javascript support, or SSL.

However, there are some plug-ins that allow to by-pass some of the javascript, and even some SSL, to access videos, other links etc..

Does it include a video player? Is there one for DOS?

That makes Arachne more useful than you might otherwise think.
I use it all the time.

The Wikipedia article is out of date.

Yes, it is out of date.

Are you interested in updating it? You obviously know enough.
