Well, I couldn't wait anymore anyways.  Netscape 4.02b7 for Linux
is rock solid.  No crashes yet at all.  I'm only using the
Navigator component though so I can't speak for email, etc...

Also, DOSemu is working absolutely flawlessly for me right now,
so I've no need for a DOS web browser.  I can run all of the
games that I currently have installed in DOS in DOSemu with no
problems whatsoever, just without sound.  ;o(

Since it is more likely that DOSemu 1.0 with full sound support
is going to come out before Webspyder with IRQ selection, and
also before OpenDOS source code release, and updates, and "Open"
everything, I'm focusing my programming and time right now where
it will be most useful to me - in Linux.

OpenDOS looked great at first, and the ORIGINAL idea sounded
great, but now since things have changed, so have the underlying
ideas and usefullness.

I still read the mailing list here, but am losing interest more
and more due to the latest information about it becoming
ClosedDOS.
