Clarification: I got dozens of messages from people
regarding my project. However, I think it's time to correct some
misunderstandings:
Mozilla, in general, is by no means near an finished or usable product, and in
my estimation, won't become that within the next 12 month. Anyone
telling you something different should eventually take a look
at the source first. It won't magically get you Java either, as the
Mozilla project itself doesn't cover a Java Virtual Machine. There
are efforts to integrate Kaffe, though.
The same is true for RealAudio, RealVideo, VDOLive, ActiveX or Intel
compiled Netscape Navigator plugins.
I have started to work on the mozilla code merely out of personal interest, not to
wipe existing Amiga browsers from the market. If you want a good
Amiga browser now, take a look at IBrowse
or Voyager. The developers of both
have announced updates soon, they have supported the Amiga for
years and deserve your support.
Thank you.
MOZZAM is a project to port the Mozilla OpenSource browser to the Amiga platform. It used to be called AMozilla, but has recently been renamed to avoid confusion with another ongoing project of the same name with a similiar goal (but different approach).
MOZZAM utilizes the MXlib, my own X server library which utilizes MUI to provide a native X client API to applications. The ultimate goal behind MOZZAM is to be in sync with the Unix source tree of Mozilla and, on the long run, to simply do
./configure make make installwith any new Mozilla source release on a gcc equipped Amiga. MXLib will be made public later on as an OpenSource resource to ease porting of other well known applications from the Linux world to AmigaOS.
You will be able to download a snapshot of the ongoing work here
shortly, so stay tuned.
