Basically it can be ported to every Amiga like OS. It MUST have a TCP/IP stack and should have the GCC compiler.

The X server has some dependencies to OS4, but nothing that couldn't be solved. The biggest problem for such a port is time. I already had some requests from people, who wanted to make a port. I never heard something from them again, after I gave them the sources. This is not a project for three hours at the weekend.

And hey: I'm writing this on NetSurf Forms are working now.

If someone, seriously, I said seriously, want to continue netsurf for aos3-4 and morphOS, I will offer to him CubicIDE package (if he need the program). Chris_Y maybe ???

@Chris_Y

very interesting, Chris_Y.

you have edited your post to put the grab ??? A curiousity compilation test, I think.

Thanks to take a look on netsurf and show some things will be possible with netsurf for the amiga, for a talented programmer.

@CygnusEd

What work needs to be done before you can release something for us to play with?

@Mrodfr

I edited it initially because I wanted to delete what I wrote.
The second edit was to change it from a "this post intentionally left blank" sort of thing.

I'm currently seeing what functions need to be implemented in order to make it useful.

Chris

So are we soon going to switch from having no CSS capable browsers, to having several?

Good things come to those who wait... At the very least they get a lump of coal at Christmas

Not much, there is only one little bug left. I have plans to include it in my new AmiCygnix package, which I want to release in a not so far future.
I don't want to make a separate package, because there are not so much advantages compared to OWB.
