You're right, arena does GIFs. What has been made is simply an
attempt to port Arena, It wouldn't be correct to talk about a
"DOS version". The Unix version is still a beta-release. There's no
wm (Windows Manager) the application use all the Display space alone.
It's buggy too. I realize of all these problems, but the sense of the
original message was simply to investigate if a broader porting
operation can make sense inside the Internet community. Of course there're
other better source-code that do web browsing available (Xmosaic, Anaya
etc.) but they all use Motif (14Mbyte lib on DJGPP).
Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
