- Actually, what I'm doing is using AMOS, not for Speed in execution so much as
- speed in development. The prototype is a prototype not meant for release!

- You're probably right. There has been some good AMOS stuff in the past
- though, so don't knock it completely.

- Well, I will write a library that will decode HTML text. This can then be
- used for the editor as well as a browser. Trying to keep up with the various
- versions of HTML could be a problem though!
-
- What I'm looking at doing is an editor that allows you to editor either
- source, or HTML. This should extend the life span a bit also. I'll include a
- Macro option that will allow you to add your own tags etc, as new ones are
- invented. What I really want to know is the sort of options that people would
- like to see, how they would want to edit HTML docs etc.
-
- PS - the library could contain functions for turning ascii text into HTML text
- etc. Ideas ....
- PPS - I want to try and make it as ANSI / AmigaDOS standard as possible at the
- moment, to allow as many people to use it as possible!
