- Sigh! I wish some people would read the enclosed documentation that
- comes with a program. As in AWeb's case it's even available as HTML.
- Here's a quote from the todo.html file in the aweb/docs dor.
-
- [...]
- Future releases
- AWeb is still being developed. Future releases of AWeb will support:
-
- HTML-3 commands like tables and background images
- Netscape-HTML extensions like background and text colour
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Hierarchical hotlist
- Client pull
- Server push
- Localization
- Full ARexx command set, and a user configurable menu to start ARexx
- macros from within AWeb.
- Persistent document and image cache on disk.
- [...]
-
- BTW, I think Netscape is a mongrel and the company behidn it is
- almost solely responsible for making the HTML 3 draft not go
- through. Just by dumping their netscapisms on peopel without
- taking the trouble to get them into the HTML 3 specs first. But
- Java is kinda nice. But that was developed by Sun. :-) Oh yes,
- I do hoep you use Netscape 2.01 as 2.0 had a huge scurity leak
- allowing page creators to make visitors automatically send them
- an email (with their return adress) without said visitor knowing.

- Cya,
