ANNOUNCEMENT: Netscape Browser for DOS porting project
==============================================================
*/

All those interested in converting the soon to be released Netscape
browser source to DOS please send e-mail to punjab AT ix DOT netcom DOT com

The scope of the project will be as follows:

1. Finding suitable low-level replacements for .DLL's
2. Scraping the Windows API in favor of PDCURSES--converting resource
files, WinMain(), etc.
3. Re-engineering, OO analysis utilizing UML as required to implement
(1) and (2).

Ultimate goals of the project will be to:
1. Provide full Java support.
2. Possibly to provide DOS independence (or DOS freedom).

The target platform will be a 486DX2-66.

Looking for 5 good men to start.
