So weit komme ich erst gar nicht, die 0.81 crashed mir _direkt_ schon beim
starten (80000004). :-(
Loesche ich die im Archiv enthaltenen Prefs, kommt immerhin das IBrowse
Fenster (wenn auch komplett leer ohne Buttons usw.), aber nach dem ersten
Click ins Menu gibt's dann wieder obigen 'nen 80000004 Crash. :-/

Zumindest ist die 1.0 mittlerweile draussen (ob schon auf Aminet kann ich
aber nicht sagen).
Mit gefaellt die 1.0 _sehr_ gut, vorallem, dass _kein_ MUI benutzt wird.
AWeb kann zwar bisher 'nur' HTML 2.0 (inkl. Forms), dafuer dies aber
schnell und sauber (bisher hatte ich noch keinerlei Crashes).

[ snip... feature-list ]

 It offers the following features: 

    AWeb doesn't use Magical User Interface (MUI). It uses BOOPSI classes
    instead, which results in less memory usage and increased speed. The BOOPSI
    classes are partially custom designed for AWeb, and partially from the
    ClassAct kit. 

    AWeb can use AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225 or AS-225 as its TCP stack.
    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. For buggy pages not
    conforming to the standard, AWeb offers a compatibility 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 and Mailto 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. 

    In extension to its own hotlist, AWeb can read the hotlists of AMosaic and
    IBrowse. 

    An advanced settings requester is integrated in the program.
    This requester includes: 
        Fonts and styles AWeb uses for different types of text. 
        Link colors and underlining. 
        Screensettings. 
        Screencolors for AWeb's own screen. 
        Location and size of the AWeb windows. 
        General network settings (image loading and home page). 
        Proxy settings. 
        External ftp and mail commands. 
        Save and temporary paths, cache size. 
        External editor and HTML source viewer. 
        MIME types AWeb should recognize and the external viewers to use. 

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