- The "now existing" version of IBrowse (the programmers' version) has been said
- to send a letter or two... and IBrowse will have no problems at all with FTP,
- it practically already supports it. Try one of the AmiNet WWW-frontends.
-
- >> : - Freeware. No fee. Unless you wish to use multiple windows.
- >> True, but the version th-t supports 3.0/NHTML will cost you.
-

-
- It's the ZGIF datatype that's acting up... Gee the old one instead (the GIF
- datatype).
