- AWeb does not do Netscape tags ("NHTML") yet. The author is FULLY aware
- of this and has stated that it will be in AWeb 1.1.
-
- One of the reasons AWeb is so stable is because the author took a course
- that was opposite of AMosaic and IBrowse. He made sure that his browser
- was fairly stable before he released it.
-
- If you all remember, AMosaic 1.2 was not very stable when it first came
- out, yet instead of fixxing the bugs and rereleasing it, he fixed some
- bugs and just heaped in a shitload of new and buggy features. What we
- were left with is a browser line that was ALWAYS buggy. By the time
- AMosaic 2.0pre came out, most people were running ALynx or Netscape 1.2 on
- SS.
-
- Now lets look at AWeb 0.5. It had almost no features yet it was stable.
- The official 1.0 release has full HTML 2.0 support, hot lists, and much
- configurabilty. He even added that network status window (very slick). I
- think in the 40+ continuous hours that I was netsurfing with it, it locked
- up only twice and crashed the machine only once. Try to do that with
- IBrowse.
-
- The author of AWeb has put a lot of work into AWeb in a short amount of
- time. HTML 3 and NHTML support should be just around the corner.
