So, where's the browser you've ported from X on Unix to Intuition on AmigaDOS to show you have some experience to justify saying that the cost is "not that high"? Of course, without having looked at the NetScape sources, you have no idea how expensive that particular port would be. Given that NetScape appears to be ranking Unix as a second (or maybe third, with the Mac as second) class citizen, it's doubtul they'd consider the cost of producing an Amiga version to be worth the benefit. <mike
