You have a very valid point. RISC OS needs a good browser: its probable that if it had one, more people would use it. But it looks like most of us who use NS on RO are users, not programmers. I have done a little programming, long ago. C I have no understanding of at all. I have looked a C source code as one of our motor controllers was programmed, and the source was in C. It left me colder than cold... Maybe you, Daniel, or one of the other programmers should write a request to comp.sys.acorn.programmer to see if you can interest anyone there in joining the team. There may well be someone who is capable, could be interested, but does not subscribe to this list. I'd do it myself, but am in no position to know how easy it will be, or what sort of things are involved. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!
