I will look at the 'new' Arachne some time. Thanks for the info.


Glad to hear it works better now. Does Arachne handle javascript at all
yet?

No, and we don't see that hapening in the forseeable future, but she does
ignore it with more style.

SSL?

Sort of. It uses a helper program as a plug-in - doslynx, as it happens, and it works quite well.

I prefer a text-only browser most of the time so I use lynx itself, and Opera only if I need javascript. I also have lynx (in linux) set to use graphical links as a downloader (plugin) if I really need embedded images or rudimentary javascript.

Did the linux version materialize?


No, not beyond what Michael Polak did. It just about functions, but with huge memory leaks that cause a lock-up very quickly. Not a viable option at the moment.
I won't try it, thanks.

But the DOS version has become very stable, quite fast, and with three or four development threads happening at the same time. The "official" latest version will always be found at: http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/arachne/

And the list of available plug-ins continues to grow.
Such as?

Regards,
Ron
