Path-Amiga v1.2

Path-Amiga is an attempt to write a web browser from the scratch. The project
started in the second half of 2001. The project has been on hold for some time
(since early in 2003), because I waited for the release of AmigaOS4. This is a
complete port to AmigaOS4. I'm afraid that previous versions of the OS will
not be supported anymore.
The HTML support is still very basic, so it doesn't make much sense surfing
through the Internet with it yet. But this situation should better with the
next versions.

Have fun with Path!

Requirements:

A computer with AmigaOS4

Program history:

v1.2 (01.05.2005):
- Ported to AmigaOS4. In this process I have revised the complete code, i.e.
  OS functions are called by interfaces, all LONG, UBYTE, ... types have been
  converted to int32, uint8, ..., a lot of code has been encapsulated in
  classes and I have removed some bugs.
- Printing seems to work all right with OS4 and Turboprint, though I haven't
  done any serious changes there...
- The scrollers are now behaving correctly when viewing large files.
- This manual seems to be really displayed correctly now, that is no unwanted
  spaces or graphics errors anymore.
v1.1 (Never released):
- Colours for printing and HTML fonts are selectable in the preferences.
- When you enter the address "about:", Path will display the manual.
- New menu item: "About ..."
- Support of "leftmargin" and "topmargin" in the "body" tag.
- Better behaviour of the "Back" and "Forward" buttons.
- Redirections are shown in the URL text field.
- Addresses without protocol specification are not loaded directly anymore,
  but redirected by adding "http://" in front of the address.
- When copying text into the clipboard, the marked text is deselected.
- You can interrupt the clicking of a link by dragging the mouse pointer away
  or by pressing the right mouse button.
- Argument passing in the Shell in much more "Amiga like".
- removed bug: The HTML parser swallowed "&" characters in certain
  situations.
- New icons by Martin "Mason" Merz
v1.0.1 (16.02.2003):
- removed bug: The browser view should be much more system friendly now.
  Perhaps the update fixes the system lockups I have been reported.
v1.0 (13.02.2003):
- very basic HTML support
- manual
- first Aminet version
- parts of the program are now written in an object oriented way

  the printing windows
v0.6 (23.07.2002):
- support of HTTP1.1
- there is a new status line at the bottom window border
- internal restructuring
v0.5 (01.05.2002):
- Internet support (very simple though: HTTP commands are not recognized yet)
v0.4 (11.04.2002):
- graphical printing
