... about Arachne.
It handles high res graphics fantasticly well, considering how many
different video cards and built-in video BIOSes that are out there.
I have to use Win3.1 for some things ... in particular working with
graphics files. But that's a challenge, because Win3.1 doesn't have a
driver that matches my video card, and my video card didn't come with a
driver for Win3.1 although it was supposed to according to the video
card mfr's website [that's another disgusting long story].
I crop, convert, flip, switch, whatever in Win3.1 ... but then I go back
to Arachne to see what the finished product looks like.
I wish there were a way that Michael or someone else on his xChaotic
team could produce OEM drivers for Win3.x that would do the same great
job the built-in drivers for Arachne do.
I bet there would be a market for them, since the major video card
people don't support DOS or Win3.x for their own hardware.
And even the 'win' sites, where one goes to hunt drivers, don't support
Win3.x ... even when they support DOS!!
It sucks when you spend big bucks for a card that can handle what's on
the web, and you can't use it because there aren't any drivers [outside
Arachne] that work.
