While it's by no means a complete list, and is restricted to only one of the many platforms NetSurf works on, this should give you an idea: http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Caveat_RISC_OS NetSurf is designed to be portable to as many systems as possible, including a lot of niche, obsolete, slow and/or resource-limited ones. I strongly suspect that many or all of the off-the-shelf libraries you are recommending are not. -- __<^>__ / _ _ \ It is written that Geeks shall inherit the Earth.
