Byron;
I have tried MacWWW, and it is cussedly buggy on System 6. It does
work okay on System 7, though, in case anybody wanted to do so. MacWeb does
work on the Plus with system 7, but not 6. A while ago, one of the more
talented System 6 fanatics was working on a 6 compatible web browser, text
only of course, but I haven't heard how it is coming along or if they gave
up or what...
