Netsurf 68k

While 68k Netsurf has improved since the earlier versions it still is really only usable for higher end 68k system ('060 + RTG or emulated), and needs some work even disregarding (lack of) speed. Unfortunately 68k based machines probably feel the burn of a small community more than the "NG" options as recompiles of open source software that requires heavy, forgeign apis/toolkits/etc. are often ok on machines with a little more power than a real 68k cpu can provide, and unfortunately due to the very small number of people with amiga specific coding skills still around optimisations and/or using native apis rarely happens.

It's quite a shame really as while the classic amigas are old, and compared to modern options a little humble, theyre still capable of offering a more modern browsing experince than what is currently available.

Heh, that ELinks looks interesting. I'll have a look tonight.

I'd like to, but to be honest I think I might get sick of browsers by the time I have time. After looking at ELinks Im interested in porting OWB from either MOS or AROS sources. MOS of course would be preferable, but it mostly comes down to which is easier. AROS OWB isnt too bad anyway. Has bookmarks, a download manager, tabs, some basic prefs and so on.

Unfortunately I plan to use it on my amithlon box, so either way it's unlikely to be suitable for classics (hence my interest in Elinks).

All hypothetical for now I guess seeing as Im still wresting with my dev. env. at the moment (sodding softlinks in tar files... does anyone know how to deal with these in OS3.x please? Im using pfs3 if that means anything)
