Setting up WebSpyder was easier than setting up my internet dial-up
network in Win95 (heh heh heh). I have run across most of the problems
mentioned in the readme file, but not much else. Just a few things I
wanted to mention:

- WebSpyder doesn't yet support client-side image maps (somthing I
didn't see in the readme).
- I hope there are plans to include high & true color modes for those
who can take advantage of it.
- Upon connecting and loading WebSpyder, it will attempt to initialize
the TCP/IP UNTIL I hit Enter twice. Anyone else have this problem?
- Embedded and BGSOUND commands don't seem to be suported.
- I've yet to get any kind of Java or JavaScript to work.

I'm sure there were other things I thought of while using it, but I
don't remember then now. Overall, for a first beta release, I'm fairly
impressed. I hope subsequent releases continue to impress.
