That said, Euphoria would undoubtedly run a lot quicker than Java I'm sure. Rather than rewrite NS ( and then port it to all platforms Linux, Mac etc ); why not concentrate on Plug-Ins for browsers ? I know it can be done with IE at least. I would seriously suggest not implementing a browser as the danger is that MS will come up with some new fangled concept which you than have to implement, which may be hard, Hmm, I wonder why MS do this ? DHTML is now a standard AFAIR but does anyone really think that will stop MS creating its own variants ?
