Default Hello From DOS!

Well, I set up DOSBox Megabuild 6, installed a packet
driver for the virtual NE2000 and here I am writing at
you from inside the DOS graphical web browser Arachne.
Thank DOG for VESA video mode emulation 'eh? This is a
distraction from my personal project of getting as much
of the ancient "Hornet" demo scene archive up and
running, but who could resist the allure of getting the
interwebs going nicely in DOS without resorting to the
MS TCP/IP stack and networking. I "might" set up windows
networking just for a laugh, as Win 3.11
(Windows for Workgroups) installs and runs just fine in
DOSBox as well. ... ... I think the formatting just went
weird ...
