I cant see why there shouldn't be the /option/ of using datatypes for
image decoding tho (if people are that desperate), after all in
iBrowse you can select either Datatypes or the internal decoders.
And I'd agree that Voyager's ditthering is rubbish, it looks pathetic
in 256 colours. iBrowse is so much better. Infact I'd say the best
Amiga browser I've used is iBrowse 1.22, none of that Javascript
rubbish to make it crash every 5 mins! :)
See ya :)
