Re: [Freedos-user] Dillo web browser for DOS - beta2

2011-12-14 Thread dos386
> does this DOS port of DILLO make Arachne obsolete?

NO. Arachne supports 8086, Dillo never will.

Arachne has bugs and Dillo has bugs, but they have DIFFERENT
code origins and different WATT code, so they have DIFFERENT
bugs ... so if one doesn't work just try the other one (and some more).

> Also would using UPX (best mode) on the executable have any advantage?

This dilemma is impossible to resolve finally.

> upx --8086 --lzma --ultra-brute dillo.exe

No point to use "--8086" - should get rejected for COFF anyway ;-)

Good, change forum, problem gone :

Bill cares about your security.
