   I pointed out several easier and less painful ways to program a web
browser in the first posting, but Turkey seems to want to promise
everything and never deliver. He can't even acknowledge that it's
"POSSIBLE" (your words) to honor his previous promises to leave.

   Even an "inspired by" claim is a backing down from Turkey's first
claims of using Netscrape sources for a GS web browser-- something
that's just way too bloated, way too many uncompilable files, way too
much trouble. There's nothing in the Netscrape sources that Mosaic
sources (free since the web craze hit-- you'd think that for such
thief wanting to put his name on everything and distribute it as
'FREEWARE' turkey shoulda gone into the unix world where a lot of
stuff is free from the beginning... but the unix world is too smart to
tolerate a thieving turkey) don't have at least the beginnings of. 

   Get something running FIRST, then throw in the fluff that the brand
named web browsers have made popular. But, by promising undeliverable
crud, it's far more likely that this project'll be dumped before you
get 2000-odd C files through Orca/C and near-500 C++ files are dealt
with. But, being grounded in reality has never been a strong point of
this Turkey as his *continued* futile claims that he had anything
other than controlled substance abuse to do with "4D" sound. 

   Put simply: would you trust anyone who still claims he did "4D"
sound even though the files are bit-for-bit identical to the files he
stole the music and instruments from? Why would you trust him in the
least that he can do *any*thing related to real programming,
especially when the programming facts stack the odds way against any
Netscrape port.
