  While people are surfing, a Internet (not web) Browser con never
be finished. Also when you think of the size of Mozilla it cannot be
finished. However HB can certainly be improved significantly.

  Any help would be gratefully excepted, and speed things up. I need
to port the C version, then other people can write character set files (no
programming knowledge needed). The configuration files can also be 
improved calls to graphic and other viewers. The fetcher needs to be 
ported, it uses BSD sockets or replace by a plug compatible fetcher. 
Jonathan Dent my a copy of his TCP/IP stack, but I cannot access the 
email with it attached. So a new of copy SoQL being sent to me would 
be helpful.
  This is just simple stuff to get us started, the real question is what
is need in what priority. I am guess inline graphics will make the 
most woah factor, to draw in punters. Make HB a GUI program is another
thing that needs doing, it may make inline graphics easier and stop work 
being done twice. Fonts, gopher+, etc  
  Testing, Bug fixs, snippets of code.

    Still would be interested in using it with some added capabilities 
  (pointer, simple graphics, perhaps a few other things).  
  Unfortunately no money but it would get distributed.  Of course it 
  would also be, after the update, be available for everyone to 
  use.I am planning on putting together, if I go this way, an Help 
  sub-architecture that anyone could tap into to add help that can be 
  called from QDT.  Got a ways to go before I get there but am 
  constantly looking for things.
This would be an excellent project - I daresay I could volunteer to help 
(as health permits), though my C programming skills need some brushing 
up
 
Q-Help is of course similar to some extent and possibly could be a starting 
point...
If interested, please contact me off list : email links on my 
  website - www.jdh-stech.com.Also, if anyone would like to help 
  with this if Tarquin is up to this or wants to work on a hyperlink type 
  capability for something else, also please contact 
me.
