I have the cross compiler configured on my FreeBSD box. I am an insane developer who hasn't touched an Amiga or Pegasos in 4 months and have been coding blind into an SSH terminal. Trick is: all my projects got designed around this. Voyager did not. It kinda relies on an Amiga being there for certain proprietary tools, includes for custom built tools, assigns.. it's a messy mess IMO and it's not worth cleaning it up. And there is no gcc cross compiler for x86 Amithlon that runs under AmigaOS or MorphOS. > > He can give you a few special CSS tricks that are a pain to even > > code onto a website :P > > Again, I laugh because it's believable.

But also so complex and long winded that you could spend days working out the myriad of combinations of styles for an element and testing then. > > and you don't end up with something akin to the JS support on > > the current browsers right now ;) > > Brrr!

IBrowse is supposed to have JS1.5 support (ha.. anything above 1.3 is pretty much just a virtual blow job for the coder, since it adds absolutely zip to the actual browser..) and good support too. But that's to be seen. Pity that such a great JS engine will exist, but with such a godawful layouter and GUI. > > > could always release V2.95/6 as the suggested browser for low-end > > > amigas.. > > > > But it sucks :) > > Yup, and so does an 8meg AGA/ECS amiga. At least for web-browsing. That doesn't stop people trying. And whining. -- Matt Sealey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
