I'd thought about the role of Euphora as a replacement for Java; it
would certainly be a lot easier to use, however, the problem of take-up
would occur; I haven't even got ShockWave installed and a lot of people
might be a little unhappy about having to load the Euphoria Engine just
to view a web page ( "Why can't they use Java, like everyone else ?" ).

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 ? smile
DHTML is now a standard AFAIR but does anyone really think that will
stop MS creating its own variants ?
