- right, I got aweb, installed it, double clicked it and had the same problem,
- so I loaded up Snoopdos (get it from aminet) and saw that it was trying to
- load bullet.library for the fonts, but I didn't have it installed on my system
- for some reason (!). Aweb did not come up with any error message or
- anything. So i put it in my libs: double clicked and it loaded up with no
- problem.

- However, I'm a bit disappointed, the demo version was MUCH faster at loading
- from the network and displaying on the screen. The new version is crap.. If
- only IBrowse was faster!! Still, IBrowse on a '060 is the same speed as
- netscape on a P100 so I suppose that's something to be happy about..
