- AWeb-II 2.1 Local-Only DEMO
- ===========================
-
-
- IMPORTANT
- ---------
-
- Before you run this demo, be sure to doubleclick the "MakeAssign" icon. If
- you fail to run this, page headers in the demo will be shown in ugly blocky
- characters. By default the demo uses the 'times' and 'courier' fonts in
- sizes that didn't came with your WorkBench.
-
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- AWeb is a fast and powerful World Wide Web browser for the Amiga computer.
-
- It offers the following features:
-
- o AWeb can use a wide range of TCP-stacks: AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225, AS-225
- or compatible. The TCP stack can be started automatically (*) when it is
- needed. Without TCP stack running, you can still view local files.
-
- o 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.
-
- o The HTML-3.2 standard is (almost) fully supported, including tables,
- image alignment, colours, etc. For buggy pages not conforming to
- the standard, AWeb offers a compatibility mode.
-
- o 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.
-
- o The HTTP and Gopher protocols are supported internally. By using
- external programs, FTP, Mailto, Telnet (*) and News (*) can be used too.
- HTTP user authorization is supported.
-
- o 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.
-
- o AWeb supports background sounds on pages, provided you have a datatype
- for the sound installed.
-
- o AWeb can print the visited pages on a graphical printer. (*)
-
- o An easy popup menu allows you to perform many different functions on
- any link (like load in background, open in new window) or image (like
- save to disk, flush, view with external viewer). (*)
-
- o AWeb has a fast, persistent, disk-based cache. The cachebrowser (*)
- allows easy off-line browsing and cache management.
-
- o To improve network speed, host names and network addresses are cached
- so addresses are looked up only once during a session.
-
- o AWeb can open it's windows on the default public screen, on a named
- public screen or open its own screen.
-
- o AWeb has a hierarchical hotlist, with options (*) to group entries.
- In extension to its own hotlist, AWeb can read other hotlists, like
- those of AMosaic and early IBrowse betas.
-
- o An advanced settings requester is integrated in the program.
-
- o AWeb has an ARexx interface (*), and a unique and powerful shell command
- interface.
-
- (*) These features are available in the full version only.
-
- This LOCAL-ONLY DEMO cannot access the net. You can view local files
- only.
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ------------
-
- AWeb needs:
- o OS 3.0 or better.
- o At least 2MB of memory as an absolute minimum. 3 MB or more is
- highly recommended.
- o Either AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225 or AS-225 if you want to access the Internet,
- or a TCP stack that is compatible with one of these. Examples of
- compatible products are Miami and TermiteTCP.
- o Appropriate picture datatypes (GIF, JPEG) to show inlined images.
- o The ClassAct gadget kit (included in this distribution).
