Sometimes when I'm running low on memory and use "View as source",
Multiview opens its window BEHIND AWeb, and not even the depth gadgets
work. I need to resize the AWeb window small enough to see the
Multiview window. However, I am a CyberGraphX user, and CG has some
behavioral problems under low memory conditions, so I've always
figured this wouldn't be something a normal user would see. However,
it is something I can invariably repeat on my system if I want to, so
it is possible that you might run into the same problem. I can not see
how this could be AWeb's fault.

Tables and backgrounds are both HTML 3.0/Netscape features, and AWeb
never claims to implement either. It is a VERY clean HTML 2.0
implementation (there are two tags though that are not implemented
correctly, see if you can find them), though, much better than most
things I've ran into. In fact, it handles many things Netscape doesn't
(big surprise there.. NOT).

As you can see from the documentation, HTML 3.0 is something promised
for the shareware versions.

Let me tell you, it kicks butt on a 16 bit screen. ;)
