- I have one bug which is reproducable (for me anyway) Using aweb and mlink,
- (which the docs don't claim to support anyway.) with Sid 2.01 and priman,
- I click on a text file in sid, and then esc out of more (which sid brings
- up to read said file) and sid locks up, if I then use priman to kill sid,
- then the machine locks up totally. Amiga 3000T, Picasso II 18megs ram and
- AmigaDos 3.1.
- Other than this rather minor nit, I like Aweb a lot bettter than either
- amosaic or ibrowse. (please continue developement of Ibrowse tho' folks,
- competition is the blood of success)

- All In all, I like Aweb a lot, and look forward to using it a lot
-
- (Can we PLEASE figure out a better term for WWWbrowsing than 'surfing'? I
- hate surfing...)
