Introduction

It offers the following features:

• AWeb can use a wide range of TCP-stacks: AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225, AS-225 or compatible. Without a TCP stack running, you can still view local files.

• AWeb uses extensive internal multithreading, which gives the program asynchronous, parallel network access. Images are starting to load before the document is finished. It is possible to follow a link while the document is still loading. A separate network status window shows all pending network and local file accesses. All network accesses can be interrupted immediately.

• The HTML-2 standard is fully supported, including forms. Many HTML-3.2 features are also supported, like backgrounds and centering. For buggy pages not conforming to the standard, AWeb offers a compatibility mode. (More information.)

• AWeb supports the use of proxies for HTTP, FTP, Gopher and Telnet. Because some proxies can't handle forms or other special cases, the use of proxies can be temporarily disabled from the menu.

• The HTTP and Gopher protocols are supported internally. By using external programs, FTP, Mailto, Telnet and News can also be used. HTTP user authorization is supported.

• AWeb lets you load all images, delay all image loading, or load only clickable maps and delay other images. For delayed images, the ALT text is taken into account. Transparent GIFs are supported. The 24-bit picture datatype (picturedtV43) is supported.

• To improve network speed, host names and network addresses are cached so addresses are looked up only once during a session.

• AWeb can open it's windows on the default public screen, on a named public screen or open its own screen.

• You can keep your favourite links in a hierarchical hotlist. You can add, delete, move or group links in a special hotlist requester. In extension to its own hotlist, AWeb can read other hotlists, like those of AMosaic.

• AWeb has a configurable ARexx menu with keyboard shortcuts so you can start any useful ARexx macro easily.

• An advanced settings requester is integrated in the program.

• AWeb has an ARexx interface, and a unique and powerful shell command interface.
