AWeb 2.1 Local-only DEMO
========================
INTRODUCTION
------------
AWeb is a World Wide Web browser for the Amiga computer.
It offers the following features:
o 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.
o 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.
o The HTML-3.2 standard is fully supported.
For buggy pages not conforming to the standard, AWeb offers a
compatibility mode.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o To improve network speed, host names and network addresses are cached
so addresses are looked up only once during a session.
o AWeb can open it's windows on the default public screen, on a named
public screen or open its own screen.
o 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 and early IBrowse betas.
o An advanced settings requester is integrated in the program.
o AWeb has an ARexx interface, and a unique and powerful shell command
interface.
This DEMO version cannot access the net. You can view local files only.
