BTW, I checked you page, and its nice that you recommend Arachne, except that it is in not-so early stages of development. DOS version is already stable (well... more or less stable ;-), and what is missing in Linux version doesn't have to be reimplemented, but rather ported from DOS to Linux, which is maybe easier... nee -- Michael Polak: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arachne Labs: http://arachne.cz/ My mobile phone - up to 160 characters: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
