`15.Sep.2002` Karl (ANF)	WWW browser: Path-Amiga V0.6 Alexander Weber is currently programming a new WWW browser for Amiga systems. He writes on his web site: "Path-Amiga is my attempt to write a web browser. It isn't very usable yet, but that will hopefully change soon. I started with this project somewhen in the second half of 2001, because I wanted to learn to write AmigaOS programs with multiple threads. After I had a program that could open and close some windows, I thought I could perhaps make a web browser out of this, just as a challenge. And the result is this." The browser runs from AmigaOS V3.5. Download: path.lha (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 15. Sep. 2002, 19:53] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
