I agree with you. What would be very interesting would be to make a�
XHTML browser. The reason is that HTML is very messy and can be
added later. So what one then need is a good XML parser in Ada. Then one
need an engine for formating the text, tables and pictures. And then�
a general GUI API. Then one can add a OS spesific GUI interface
in whatever library on top. For Linux/UNIX, Win2k one could use
GTK+ (or something else) and if one wants to have a text-only browser
one could use ncurse or something to display the pages. I expect that
one could make this into a server-client design?
PS: A small tip to those who use deja.com to post. If using netscape you
are seemingly stuck with the rather cumbersome forms-interface. I use
the text-only browser w3m which uses an external editor to edit text, so
if you set it up right you can have it invoke vim, emacs, pico etc...
W3M is located at < http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/eng/ >
if you are interested.
