Hiya List!
I really didn't want to quote the orignal message, but...
if anyone does decide to re-write Arachne for (shudder)
Windows, the first thing to consider is...Which version?
Do you write for 16 bit Win3X? or 32 bit Win9X? That
will then determine the programming language you need to
use...Delphi is good for 16 bit, Visual Basic for both
16 and 32 bit, depending on version. Personally, I'd
prefer a Win3X version. There are already enough "me too"
browsers for Win9X, but the options for Win3X are SEVERELY
limited at present. MS IE frozen in time at 5, but to use
it you need minimum 16 meg RAM and a 486DX...IE 3 is only
partially usable, though the dialer is great. Opera 3.62
has become my browser of choice for Win3X. NetScape for
Win3X never did work as advertised, in fact it has a tendency
to delete DLL files needed by other software.
One more thing...the Java and JavaScript destinction...please,
these 2 animals are totally different. Thankfully I have
not ran into Java anyway, but JavaScript is so prevalent on
the web it is becoming a necessity. Such things as online
forms, surveys, pick lists, even mundane things such as signing
up for various lists...all these require JavaScript. At the
moment, I DO NOT recommend anyone attempt to run Java on a
Win3X machine...the virtual machine for Win3X is buggy and
extremely SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW...
C U L8R!
