Many of us are 'forced' to use those 'obsolete' winxx systems... exept for small .txt mailings nearly all text are in WORD-format now. And I have lots of other programs and hardware that need windows... So Arachne must be able to run in an environement where win is present. I started computing with BASIC... DOS... and Windows followed. Everage lifetime of these OS's = 7 years... I wonder what and when is next?
