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 ???

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.

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

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.

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

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. _________________ X-5000 PPC 5020/2 GHZ, Fractal Define XL R2-Tower, OS 4.1 final update 2, 4 GB, Radeon HD 7770, ESI Juli@ XTe SAM 460ex/1,15 GHZ, OS 4.1 final, 2 GB, Radeon HD 6450 Amiga 4000D/040 25 Mhz, OS 3.9 BB2, 272 MB, X-Surf, 250 MB ZIP |
