It is fully supported and being updated. I believe Mosaic is no longer being updated. I've also heard of Konquerer. On a Slashdot poll it scored close to Mozilla and Firebird in percentage used (where as Opera only hit at about 3%). I think that, as far as browsers go, there are only three modern/maintained browsre engines around at this moment. 1. IE 2. Opera 3. Mozilla The Mozilla browser has an engine called Gecko, with a XUL interface which uses Gecko at its core. Many other browsers like Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape navigator etc use either of these engines for all the rendering. Konquerer (linux) is also one of those, as is Camino (Mac). Camino uses Gecko only (not XUL), not sure about Konguerer. Joachim ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm

Re: [ql-users] use of new system sprites from C68?
Jerome, Since no one else has jumped in with help on this yet, would you mind digging through for a sample of your 'C' code showing the proper use of the new system sprites. It would really help me a lot. Thanks, jim On Sep 14, 2004, at 2:30 AM, Jérôme_Grimbert wrote: James Hunkins wrote: Has anyone used the new system sprites from C68? This would be using it in the window definition which was originally a pointer to a sprite file. I have tried it by defining 2 bytes such as: unsigned short test_sprite = 0x0008;[ byte 0 = 0x00 for a system sprite 0x08 for the sprite number ] and then doing a pointer to its address from the proper loose item field: test_sprite, If I point to one of the normal sprites (with byte 0 = 0x01) I get the expected sprite. But when I do the above all I get is a red 'X' sprite, no matter what sprite number I use. Any ideas? If someone has used the new system sprites, could you supply sample code and instructions? I think I did use the system sprite from C68. I used an array of char instead of a short... It did work, or so I believe. I would have to dig that code if you do not get a better answer. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
