Anywhere to get Ibrowse from?
« on: January 28, 2011, 07:28:04 AM »
not having much luck with google. Does anyone have either a working download link for the last free version of Ibrowse, or would anyone be able to send it to me?
Thanks in advance!

This is the demo which times out after 30 minutes, correct?

If there's a 'free' as in 'free' one without this restriction I'd be interested too!

There never was a free version of IBrowse. In fact IBrowse is the name of the commercial version of AMosaic.

On my OS3.5 CD there is a fully working version of AWeb but having never used it I'm not sure if you need to have 3.5 installed on your machine for it to work... :)

I'm using Aweb 3.5.9 beta in my 3.1 setup. Slow as hell, but fully functional. Images and javascript plug-ins seem to require an FPU, as they work OK in my A1200 with Blizzard 030 MKIV and FPU but crash the whole machine in my 3.1 FPU-less ACA630 accelerated Amiga 600. Turning those plug-ins off solved the issue, but I'd like to take a look at Ibrowse anyway.

yeah, aweb crashes on my 3.1 machine if images are enabled.
WIth them disabled, its pretty quick.

Ibrowse seems to play nicer with that stuff, though its a bit pokey on my 030. Fully usable though, and its nice to have the option.

Having just recently finished disassembling AWeb into 68K source code I have already noticed plenty of scope for improving/optimising the code. It was originally written in C and so is a bit bloated and not as efficient as it could be, I really need to start with the optimisations and give the newly compiled code to someone to test (until I finally get a my own miggies on the net)... :)

Well as soon as I've optimised it and checked it out I'll send it you to test out...:)

Interesting what you say about the crashes on 3.1, wonder if it can trace that problem in the source code now... :)

It could be down to me lacking datatypes for images or whatnot, as it only occurs with images enabled.

When I first installed OS3.5 AWeb was part of the installation even though my miggies aren't on the net I did try it out with some Amiga Format coverdisk CDs browsing locally (I think you call it)... :)

It never crashed but it was very slow at drawing pages even on my 2 060 boards, I deleted it a long time ago but I think I'll install it on one of my 030 machines with OS3.1 and test it with the Amiga Format coverdisks to see if I can reproduce these crashes and figure out what's causing them... :)

I could test it from this side of the pond too Franko, I have been using Aweb lately.

It must be incredibly difficult to disassemble something originally written in C and understand what it's doing.   Years ago I tried compiling the most basic of C programs then looking at the disassembled output and it seemed to make even basic code a hugely complex mess (at least to my puny human brain).  Trying to understand software you've not written and with the complexity of a web browser must take quite some doing!
