That said, HTML does have some benefits for creating a general-purpose
user interface for accessing content.  I keep wondering if anybody has
worked out a Lynx-like HTML interpreter for the Apple ][.  Now that is
something I could put to good use, as I have a lot of information that
doesn't work well with traditional databases, but would work very well as
HTML pages.......with or without the graphics.  I'd use HyperCard on the
IIgs but I can't seem to get it to work without crashing on my 5Mb ROM 01
system...
