Tonny,

I wasn't able to get it to run right. It comes up, but does not work  
on my Mac. I haven't tried it on other OSes yet.

Based on what I was able to see and based on the screenshot on the  
website, I like the ability to reorganize the UI and the possibility  
of plugging in other behaviors. These are the kind of things that we  
want to do for our 2.0 release. You may have given us a head start.  
Does it use a real browser, or is it using Java's anemic Swing  
HtmlEditorKit?

I'll need to figure out what's wrong on my Mac, but I suspect that the  
program is trying to use Java 1.4 and not 5, as I have both installed.

On all my machines (Windows, Linux and Mac)I have multiple VMs and  
generally Java 1.4 is what programs find.

On the Mac, I started with Java 1.4 under a prior OS release and it  
has been present since then. I don't think it is reasonable to expect  
non-technical users to be able to figure out how to switch default  
VMs. The shell script should be able to find Java 5 and use it.

In Him,
	DM
