Help us to promote Arachne

xChaos software (developer of Arachne WWW browser) want every Internet user to know, that you don't need any operating system (like Windows, OS/2 or Unix) to surf World Wide Web. Web is independent, multi-platform enviroment, which evolves on it's own, ignoring attempts of certain big corporation to control it. HTML is open standard for exchanging text and hypertext documents with embeded images, audio and video, which can be viewed on EVERY PERSONAL COMPUTER - even personal computer running DOS. Web users want to see highly portable and compatible HTML, which can be viewed in browers like Lynx or Arachne.

To help us to spread the message about the existence of Arachne WWW browser, you can insert following Arachne logo to your homepage:

Include following source code to your homepage (to enable image border, use BORDER=1 instead of BORDER=0...):

<P>
<A HREF="http://home.arachne.cz/">
<IMG SRC="arachne.gif" ALT="Arachne WWW browser" BORDER=0></A>
<P>

Save Arachne logo to your homepage directory. If you are using Arachne, just click on the image with right mouse button and then click on Save/Send icon or press F2. Than transfer image from your hard disk to your online homepage directory using FTP. If you are using Netscape or MSIE in Windows or Unix enviroment, use also right mouse button and then choose item "Save image" from pulldown menu. On Macintosh, you can simply drag Arachne logo to your homepage, opened in Netscape editor ;-)

The size of the logo is the same as the size of Netscape Now! or MSIE logos, ie. 88x31 pixels. If you want your page to be optimized for Netscape, include WIDTH=88 and HEIGHT=31 parameters inside IMG tag. But Netscape will manage to display the page even without this optimization. Reasons for using other browser than Netscape or MSIE can be for example blindness, lack of money to upgrade one's computer or simply lack of time to download new browser or install and learn new operating system. But even users who TODAY use the latest software should require developers to be backward comaptible with older products. TODAY they can aford to use Pentium, but several years later, they can be asked to upgrade their PCs to some latest "Heptium" with 1 GB of RAM, with no chance the new products will be compatible with their configuration.
There are even more reasons for supporting backward compatible HTML. See online manifesto called Best viewed with any browser, which will also explain you, that backward compatibility doesn't mean that page cannot use latest advantages of Netscape or MSIE.
