As others have pointed out on this list, edbrowse dovetails with other = command line tools in a unix or even mac environment, and isn't nearly as useful on windows. In other words, it is sometimes edbrowse plus other things that = provides the power. So why did we bother one might ask? Well, at times I had dreams of getting grants, actually getting paid to = work on edbrowse, and maybe subcontracting to some of you as well, and grants are easier to get if you can claim your software runs on = every platform. Believe me the whole blind industry is windows centric, jaws, nvda, = window eyes, on and on. Rehab and employment centers teach windows and only windows. So it was mostly for marketing. But it turns out I can no more get a grant than I can swim the ocean. It's just not one of my skills. So if we give up on that, then I really don't worry about the windows = port much any more, unless it is easy to maintain. I've learned a lot though from it, and I thank you for all your hard = work, plus your continued tidy support. Certainly switching to threads and away from fork and processes and = wait and so on makes it easier. An easy test is edbrowse www.nasa.gov That exercises all sorts of stuff, including a dozen javascript files = which are fetched and loaded in parallel by threads. If you get about 170 lines of stuff =3D 170 ,p then it's all good. You can watch the fetches in parallel and other things at debug level 3 db3 ub b Karl Dahlke --nextpart-eb-987848--
