Yes, I know this. Actually, this is the point - when you need LFNs, you
make another wwwman, and thus the original wwwman can be 8086 compatible.
(I consider wwwman part of Arachne, not because it is, but it's included
in a very integrated way in the package.)

Use buttons.

It's not a reinventation, just a copy-and-edit process.
That way one doesn't need to change the wheel, just copy and modify
it. Then we havetwo wheels, one 8086 without LFN and one 386 one with
LFN. In this case, people needing LFNs can use them without disturbing
Arachne functionality, or slowing it down etc.

I remember that, too....

Hmmm, ohok, it's just that 1.50 src doeesn't have dgi.cfg =)
