I got to mention this one to you DOS-ers.

http://www.arachne.cz/

A great freeware DOS Internet browser. Fully graphical!
Don't hesitate! DOS will be better with this piece of beauty!

Yup, its pretty neat, I had it installed on my old Win98 based PC. It's been on the dosgames.com Essential Utilities page for awhile now. Happy

http://www.dosgames.com/essential.php But yes, it's a great webbrowser for DOS. I think Procerus (another member here, but he hasn't posted in a while) uses it as well.

Moved to General Dosgames.

I would say that since we already know about this and already have a topic about it somewhere, it shall be locked.

-But it still provides room for a good discussion. Unlocked. Wink

SBC Yahoo myself. Best DSL provider in down. Happy

Actually, it's the only one considering SBC/Ameritech's monopoly on Northern Indianapolis... Sarcastic

The main problem with Arachne is that fact that since it is 100% dos based, it will run REALLY slow. I don't remember the exact reason, but i think it has to do with the modem emulation function.

I switch between Mozilla, Opera, and IE, depending on what I feel like using.

AFAIK, SBC == Southern Bell Company. The ONLY (good, known) phone service in Ontario is Bell Canada. Therefore, they have a monopoly here as well.

Actually, it's the oldest telephone company on earth... founded by the inventer of the telephone...

The point being, old people suck. Dead ones even more.

Well, except for John A MacDonald and George Washington.
