16 bit truecolor is not the most widely used format so occasionally
some programs don't get it, eg Amaya suffered from the same problem.

How good is the html rendering and how does it deal with complicated
pages? Adding rudimentary bookmark support and fixing the broken image
display should be one of the easiest problems to fix.
I would not mind a bit browser hacking, but maybe the changes are already
in the CVS?

iirc it is used for lynx so it should be eg in the qdos-lynx sources.
BTW they want to switch away from libwww because it is pretty huge.

we have gcc for QDOS even if only as a crosscompiler..
c++ should not be difficult, indeed I had the raw c++ compiler
working already. Its a matter of compiling and linking the c++
libraries and a few details like choosing a suitable name
mangling style.
