And about 14:17 04 Apr 07 it was written from steven.leeman to Mithgol the

what's Arachnid? a derivative of Arachne by Michael Polak and other guys from
Arachne Labs?

 sl> and almost every "security" message of microsoft tells us to stop using
 sl> javascript :-)

Fortunately, we have Firefox now. It works on Linux, on Windows, etc. If I ever
finish my own FGHI (hypertext Fidonet) implementation, it would not be any kind
of a stand-alone browser; I develop it as a Firefox extension.

 MtW>> (And we'd admit that Netscape browser wasn't open source and wasn't
 MtW>> free of charge, except maybe for universities, as far as I recall.
 MtW>> Modern Fidonet soft is open and free.)
 sl> only the Husky project is "open"... but yes you can do anything with the
 sl> husky project...

Husky project is great. It even has a converter from old FastEcho configs to
Husky's fidoconfig.

 sl> is there allready a GUI editor in the husky project? can we do a mere
 sl> "build husky" to have a nice GUI-config & editor & tosser? are there
 sl> packages (Ubuntu, ...) to have a nice fido node/point installed?

I don't have an idea. I've run areafix:ru.husky just about the last week-end.
