Ah. Perhaps you don't recall that your recent investigation of the
DR-DOS system builder kit was *in response to* a comment by someone
else.

Perhaps you don't recall typing this:

Fact is, that this is comp.os.cpm and DR-DOS is not a CP/M. You won't be
able to use the DR-DOS BIOS to understand CP/M-86 Plus because it is a
DOS BIOS, not a CP/M BIOS.

The way DR-DOS used to "surf the Internet" is not relevant to CP/M. If
you want to discuss that sort of thing, you might try comp.os.msdos.
Nevertheless, you might look at http://www.arachne.cz/index.php?clanekid=176
which talks about the Arachne browser. This was picked up by Caldera to
become whatever spider-related name they gave it.
You might be better off looking at the KA9Q stuff. I once heard rumors
that there was a CP/M port, but never tracked it down.

I have done both WS4-to-HTML and WS4-to-RTF; I even used the latter to
develop Windows help files. Since WS4 is no longer my primary editor, that
sort of thing is no longer useful to me.

Bite me.
Also, in answer to another of your questions (about Linux running on a
64K Z80), try this: http://www.cpmclub.de/zeitung/seite5.htm It's not
Linux, but is Unix.
