- If I would want to see some HTML3 documents, I wouldn't touch Netrape as
- it only copes with rather small subset of HTML 3 in addition to all
- those EVIL Netscapisms (frames, <blink> etc ;))...

- Actually both, you can run X apps on any host (was it the local or
- thousand miles away) you have authorized to open windows on your screen.

- Although even if you could manage to steal the sources from Netscape,
- you would likely run into problem with Motif libs, which Netrape uses
- for the GUI, as those doesn't exist for AmigaOS AFAIK...
