	Anyone know what was the last version of DR-Webspyder?
	(Was it 2.1b2? If so, as a browser, it is far too unstable.)

	Go to www.arachne.cz and get a copy of Arachne 1.70 ...
	as a DOS web browser, it works very well (much better than
	the above 2.1b2), although it still does not do Javascript ...

	Hmmm ... I *always* load the CD-ROM drivers (I have enough
	memory to fit them, so why not? I often boot just to M$-DOS
	7.10 ;-) and never have a problem with Windoze 95B crashing.
