Tom,
I also struggled with altBrowser 1 and have just finished building my
first web browser into my project and can definitely say it is
fantastic. Once I got my email address correct it was a breeze to
use, install and impress the heck out of every one that sees it. I
had my own address wrong for the registration. DUH.
Anyway, bravo to Chipp and team on a superb product, definitely worth
the effort and you can't beat the price.
Tom
I also got the altFont application and have not used it yet.

Last summer I wrote a message airing publicly my complaints about
this product. It was a bit of vitrol after frustrating attempts to
get it to work (yes, I had read the manuals!)
I shot off an angry letter to the Altuit team about what I found as
shortcommings:
1. the demo on the site was not the latest (bug-free) version
2. the obvious pit-fall (which even Dan Shafer fell into)--not
ensuring the plug-in was installed was not properly covered.
3. the demo stack tried to cram every type of function onto one
card making it rather daunting to a newbie.
Well, somebody over there was listening! Each and every one of
those concerns has been so well addressed you wouldn't know it was
the same product that caused me heart-burn.
Downloading and installing is a breeze, updating couldn't be easier
and the demo stack gracefully guides you through the features. Bravo!
BTW. I decided to take a look at AltBrowser again after happening
across AltFont (which similarly is a joy to install). AltFont is an
answer to a lot of my dreams. I need some special characters which
unicode can do, but rev doesn't handle unicode very well. AltFont
will enable me to use the special fonts I already have and I can
kiss unicode good-bye for now! Was this announced on the list? I
don't recall seeing it.
