Well  that  is  correct.  Mmmm...there are a whole lot of demo progs on the
CD.  The version of AWeb is 0.9 and it is local only, but there are quite a
few  web  pages  on the CD to view.  The most interesting thing was reading
the  stuff  the author of AWeb wrote - he gives a detailed reasoning of why
he chose not to use MUI for AWeb, and it actually makes sense.

HTH
