Hey, they've got DJGPP, Allegro, two graphical environments in development (Seal and Qube). FWIW, the FreeDOS releases look pretty regular and often. DOSEMU tarballs now come w/ a Freedos images (albeit, old ones). Shame more wasnt done with Caldera/Lineo OpenDOS - but FreeDOS was in development before Novell gave up on DOS 7...and given that FreeDOS was a grassroots effort, I guess it's better that the development concentrate there. > Arachne, the graphical web browser for DOS. <snide remark> what a dumb > name </snide remark> There's a betatest version of a web browser for the Apple IIgs called "Arachnid".
