DR-Webspyder is the port of Arachne to DJGPP, using the graphic library Allegro. I think problem of porting Arachne to DJGPP is to change the graphic library and to remove the XMS/EMS library. The rest - also the port to WATT-32 - shouldn't be a big problem now.

At this days maybe a first port to Watcom would be a good idea. Udo made a first port and ported the graphic library too. It's branch uses DPMI16 and uses XMS too, which should be removed in the last step of the port, since it would make it much faster. Also DPMI16 isn't the last choice.

What a pity that the source of Dr-Webspyder isn't available.
