It IS.

It is useful when you badly need non-RGB colorspaces or multipage stuff. ;-)

YES, but poorly designed and poor compression, no trans, simply obsolete.

It isn't simplistic, but it isn't more "messy" than necessary to get the required features.

And Arachne can display AGIF also, still, the "decode and drop onto a Surf" concept can't be used for AGIF nor APNG.

Thanks, I didn't test myself :-D

It might be open source, this doesn't mean that FFK will supply a high quality manual also, as you night have noticed, writing English text is not something he would love to do or be expert in.

Sure (?) :-) . AFAIK the ISA drivers don't really depend on anything, so the PCI drivers won't I hope. Especially, I would like to have dependence on DGJPP and DPMI avoided.

What thing ? He ported some FFMPEG derivatives and some more app stuff, but no drivers AFAIK.
