Arachne is a very cool and unique utility. It is a graphical web browser for DOS. It doesn't works in Windows XP and Windows 2000, but I once had it running on a Windows 98 computer. It works really nice, and the graphics look fine too. I never found another DOS webbrowser yet, so the idea behindit is very original. The installation is simple. Just download the exe file from the website of Arachne Labs and install Arachne. Now you have to open arachne.bat and the program will start. Now you only have to configure the settings and you can start browsing the web on your DOS computer. A wizard will help you configurating the Arachne Webbrowser. Click here to go to the official Arachne website.
