Unfortunately not.  As I've only been compiling for OS4 (PPC) it isn't
possible to run it on anything else without a considerable amount of
modification and recompiling.  Unfortunately that cuts out all
emulators (UAE etc only emulate 68k processors) and AROS (will need
recompiling and modifying heavily).

I can send screenshots and answer questions.

I'd like to see somebody create a PXELINUX COM32 module version from
that.  Not sure whether it is possible, but a mini network-bootable
web browser at least has a coolness factor.

Is this ok?

Chris is responsible for porting NetSurf to AmigaOS 4, to get an
all-round decent web browser on the platform rather than having to use
several outdated or incomplete ones.  He refuses to deal with any of
the core code beyond prodding it with a pointy stick when it doesn't
quite work as expected.

His development work, testing and compiling is all done on an AmigaOne
G4-XE.

Chris
