5. Known Limitations
* Code not optimized.
* No documentation
* WebExplorer API limitations:
Only one render window per process
Navigation commands fail sometimes
* Some Netscape plug-ins use some undocumented things. For example
QuickFlick (manipulates Netscape's scrollbars). These plug-ins don't
work.
* The IBM Plugin Pack 2.1 for Communicator has several bugs. One bug in
the video plug-in can block the PM. I can reproduce it with
Communicator/2. I hope IBM will fix these bugs soon.
6. Frequently Asked Questions
None so far.
