- There just needs to be a HTML datatype. AG needs to be upgraded but not
- replaced. I would like to AG modified to us a IFF hypertext standard with
- compressed nodes, inline graphics, forms and the ability to link to web
- pages on the net. HTML's ok but I like the way AG files can contain
- multiple nodes in one file. It a pain when you go to a web site and you
- have to grab each node seperately if you want a copy of the info. AG does
- need to be able to load one node into memory from a AG file with multiple
- nodes. This would reduce memory usage. If the file is on a remote system,
- it should be copied local then reference like a normal AG file.
