So this won't be WYSIWYG editor, but rather on-fly preview
(but we got this already, well, almost... with F4...) it can
be done in FrontPage style, with tabs, too...

But how do you want to run them in DOS ? (maybe in Linux it would be 
possible...)

Why ? I believe we can have JS interpreting, parsing line after line and 
directly executing them....

Well... I have copied relevant Arachne modules to single directory... 
and I have Makefile for compiliing .so dynamicaly linked library for 
Linux....

But I want arachne to be multiplatform. It will be optimized for what is 
available in DOS/single task - other platforms usually offer higher 
performance, that's all...

Forking main codebase would be fatal (I already got lost in all those 
#ifdefs...)
