One of the guys on AD even started a bit of JS parsing code, it can
be done it's just a question of finding someone who knows how JS works.
Me, I don't even know HTML as you are very well aware.

The old core has been a dead end since Michael dropped it, but I've not
been able to convince anyone of that these past five years -- it
is simply too ineficient to permit more than a tiny bit of forward
movement in 16 bit DOS. And it's so spectacularly baddly written that
any ground level changes would be near impossible to implement even if
some masochist was willing to try. But the traditionalists show no
signs of interest in the way forward and I can't do much more without
help so we're still dead in the water.
