bought and registered.”
“Positives… Very good browser. …noticed an ability to
save a page, as well as page plus images on the page. … The zoom
can be adjusted anywhere between 30% and 1000%… Multiple child
windows are available with quick-change buttons. Supports frames,
which can be turned off. …Javascript and PNG capable.”
“Negatives… For some reason, the http://localhost/ address was
unavailable, though lynx and Netscape could see it… The help
system is not yet implemented. … The registration fee is another
put-off for Linux users used to freebies. … There doesn’t appear
to be a way to change key bindings…”
