I never downloaded the latest Arachne because I figured I wouldn't be able to
use it.
I still haven't really tried to access the internet on present computer from
DOS, including FreeDOS.
I was never able to get Arachne to dependably download a file to where I could
access it.
Since Glenn McCorkle's last release of Arachne, it seems the WWW has run away
faster than Arachne could keep up, hence no further activity.
