You have hit the nail on the head. Back in the late nineties, when SIS
was being developed, web sites were not as complicated as they are now.
The limited memory of the IIgs seemed ample then to display even the
biggest site. Unfortunately events have overtaken it...

One approach for anyone wishing to tackle the project, would be to use
the SIS HTML engine to build a web browser, driven by a custom
application instead of a Spectrum script. That would use less memory,
and would allow the browser to work faster.

Anybody out there willing to try?
