If I remember correctly WebIE was produced originally to work in conjunction with Look Out when operating in Internet Explorer. I did not think that it was any sort of a browser in its own right. Just my impressions.

Doris,
Good question! I don't know for certain but I very much doubt that it
would work on a system lacking Internet explorer.  In the View menu
there is an item "Show web page" activating which produces what
appears to be a normal IE view.  The item then changes to Hide Web
page which switches back to the normal Webbie view.

As I may have said before, i think Webbie is essentially intended to
display what it can of web pages in a simplified form which can be
navigated by basic screen readers like Look Out and Thunder which
lack  the functionality present in the major screen readers.

Is WebIE really a full-fledged web browser such as IE or Firefox or
is it just a frontend to IE? I thought WebIE needed Internet Explorer
installed in order to work.

As I am trying to learn and make sense out of WebIE, I appreciate any
information I can get.


Cheers,

Doris
