I haven't tried WebSpyder yet, but it's a modified version of Arachne (which I've mentioned before). While it's true that Arachne doesn't support a great many features, it's more than Mosaic or Chimera or Arena or Amaya or GNUscape. I can't get Arachne to work with my TCP/IP stack (it's WATTCP/Crynwr based, I have a vendor-supplied packet driver) but it really does look good: http://www.naf.cz/arachne/ Also, QNX has this "1.44MB Web Challenge" where they put a stripped-down copy of QNX (their POSIX-compliant microkernel UNIX), the Proton micro GUI, the Voyager web browser (based on Spyglass Mosaic, I have yet to see if it's as good as MSIE/Netscape), PPP stuff, plus a web _server_ on a single floppy disk. You need a 386, VGA, and at least 6MB of RAM to use it (the large RAM footprint is for a RAM disk). http://www.qnx.com/iat/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Orlando Alcantara Andico WWW: http://www2.mozcom.com/~orly/ Email: orly AT mozcom DOT com ICBM: 14 30 00 N 120 59 00 E POTS: (+632) 932-2385
