Okay, c'n'p is a must. Frames would be nice. SSL and > cookies? Not really that important.

(At least until I get > myself a bigger notebook ;-) The advantage of adding c'n'p, frames, and ssl support would be that the browser (205 KB) is tiny, has a small footprint, and would be an excellent choice for small, underpowered, systems. This doesn't just include 6 year old 486 systems, but a new class of portable, embedded, handheld, and "wearable" systems. Having a full-featured browser would be a tremendous plus. This is a design intent of dillo as I understand. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
