Arachne is a graphical web browser for DOS. Arachne was developed by Michal Polák and released in the early 1990s as a text-mode web browser with limited graphical capabilities. Arachne allowed DOS users to browse the World Wide Web in a graphical, though quite basic, manner. It supported features such as displaying images, handling links, and rendering web pages in a text-based graphical interface.
DOS Applications made for DOS require an emulator to run on Windows. Use DOSBox or a frontend like D-Fend Reloaded and read this guide to play DOS games on your Windows PC.
