This is exactly what I was thinking of few years ago: I though,
that shared CPU time may become valuable, and that it will be
possible to sell it, either for money or for some kind of
virtual "credits", and buy again whan one needs to perform
some distributable, time-consuming taks, eg. crack someone's
cipher, or let's say produce Hollywood-class moovie (this is
especially good example, because virtual reality rendering is
easily distributable - each CPU can work on one movie frame
easily, while amount of input and output data for one frame is
moderate. And there are many thousands of independent pictures
in each movie, making it good example of distributable job....

Are you sure this works ? I mean, if you receive MIME type
image/zbm, does Arachne assign ZBM extension and look for
file/.zbm definiton ? Because now I am really not sure if it
was written to work this way - if yes, it would save lot of
MIME.CFG lines, of course ;-)
MIME.CFG has to be devided to separate MIME.CFG and let's
say SCRIPTS.DGI
files anyway. SCRIPTS.DGI will be version-dependent, and not
intended for user modification. MIME.CFG will be user configurable,
and won't be overwritten when new version is installed...

;-)) This doesn't make much sense, because Archne will hardly
ever produce _4prt.jpg file... ;-)

I haven't tested this MP3 player - is it 16bit or 32 bit ?
How much memory it requires ?

What is this ? Does it produce any usable output ?

What exactly are you doing with SWF files ?
