Introduction

It offers the following features:

• AWeb can use a wide range of TCP-stacks: AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225, AS-225 or compatible. Without TCP stack running, you can still view local files.

• AWeb uses extensive internal multitasking, which leads to total asynchroneous and parallel network access. Images are starting to load while the document is still loading. It is possible to follow a link while the previous document is still loading. A separate network status window shows all pending network and local file accesses. All network accesses can be interrupted immediately.

• The HTML-2 standard is fully supported, including forms. Some of the most important so-called HTML-3 extensions are also supported. For buggy pages not conforming to the standard, AWeb offers a compatibile mode.

• AWeb supports the use of proxies for HTTP, FTP, Gopher and Telnet. Because some proxies can't handle forms or other special cases, the use of proxies can be temporarily disabled from the menu.

• The HTTP and Gopher protocols are supported internally. By using external programs, FTP, Mailto, Telnet and News can be used too. HTTP user authorization is supported.

• AWeb lets you load all images, delay all image loading, or load only clickable maps and delay other images. For delayed images, the ALT text is taken into account. Transparent GIFs are supported. The 24-bit picture datatype (picturedtV43) is supported.

• To improve network speed, host names and network addresses are cached so addresses are looked up only once during a session.

• AWeb can open it's windows on the default public screen, on a named public screen or open its own screen.

• AWeb has a hierarchical hotlist, with options to group entries. In extension to its own hotlist, AWeb can read other hotlists, like those of AMosaic.

• An advanced settings requester is integrated in the program. You can control many aspects of the program in this requester.

• AWeb has an ARexx interface, and a unique and powerful shell command interface.
