I'm the guy working on a browser. That work has been delayed a bit by an impending move to another town, but it is going well.
What do you guys think about compression/decompression? Think that it would be a better persuit?

Look for some browser betas here in a few months! -Bob On Sun, 28 Nov 2004 19:36:45 -0500, Michael Juneau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >From: George Stacey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: "System6" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: "System6" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: [6] Re-resurrection? > >Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2004 12:34:47 -0700 > > >What's the best compression/decompression utility to use on a compact Mac > >running System 6?
