it's worthwhile installing the updates to libfb, fb and mothra,
for other reasons, but you'll then find that many sites expect
to be visited only by one or the other of the byzantine browsers
and mothra can no longer cope well.  it's a shame because a small
browser would have been nice.
i started in with moderate enthusiasm to change mothra to
cope with some of the new HTML and HTTP features that are
written down, but the more i read, the more i gave up.
the `make the browser an operating system' movement was
finally more than i could stomach.

fortunately, howard trickey had a stronger stomach
and was labouring away in Limbo.
it's well worth trying charon under Inferno (emu),
when it appears, if it's not in 1.1 already.

You'll have to install the boddles for libfb and fb to make
this work.  Be sure to install the new colo(u)r map files,
or you may get stung by the ``black screen of death''...

Hope this helps!

Hello 9fans.

I can't see images in mothra of updated version.

Mothra shows an error message "error in picopen_r" when it accesses
image file.
The message is sent from getpix.c:

void getimage(Rtext *t, Www *w){
....
        default:
                close(pfd[0]);
                sprint(fdname, "/fd/%d", pfd[1]);
                f=picopen_r(fdname);
                close(pfd[1]);
                if(f==0){
                        werrstr("error in picopen_r");
                        goto Err;
                }
...
}

I don't know whether this trouble is peculiar to me or not.
What about your mothra?

Thanks.
