a vast majority of apps on other platforms rely on OS and 3rd party
libraries to do their work.

what?? I've been com;iling WarpUP stuff under GCC for ages...an I don have
a copy of StormC4, its thanks to the hard efforts of skilled GCC hackers
and coders. Its not difficult at all. I'm not pro or con PowerUp/WarpUP,
but I am pro AmigaOS...and to ignore the much larger WarpUP usin market
due to their own issues is very wrong. as a paying customer I'd like to
hve some say ;-)

oh, there'll be plenty - especially as Voyager isnt the be all and end all
of browsers.
