As you acknowledge by the word "replace" the default install is 32 bit. >Arachne will merrily run >along without any DPMI whatsoever. No, not merrily at all. As I recall it using the 16 bit versions for graphics causes severe limitation when accessing websites. Look at what else I found in MEMMAP.HTM in the Arachne DOC directory: <TD><B>DPMI</B> <TD>0 kB<TD>not limited <TD>required by 32bit version of DJPEG and by 32bit PNG2BMP; do not use DR-DOS DMPI driver - CWSDPMI is included in Arachne package. Is anything you're trying to promote here help clarify the situation or are you just trying to appear knowledgeable? Charles Angelich The Ghost in the Machine!
