Quijote for PCW
MikePcw
I am working on a new release of Quijote, my html browser for the pcw.
Any comments/ideas/feedbacks/bugs... about the current (old, 3 years
ago!) version?
Thanks,

this is very cool! I wonder if you are planning to implement HTML-
table support, or if this is already done? I would like to develop a
HTML browser for the CPC, maybe we can share our experiences.

Hi,
Well, not supported tables yet.
Graphics is the more difficult thing to do with 64k of ram, but
formatted text is possible.

thinking about a BMP and GIF converter (there are already Z80 source
codes in the MSX community available for decoding!), which also
shrinks them down to 50% width/height. But still 64K wouldn't be
enough in many cases I guess. Don't know if the Joyces' CP/M can
handle additional memory not as ram disc but as application ram.
But at first I think handling tables is more important. I wonder if
you already have any ideas about handling nested tables. I think this
will be very hard to implement. This is a result of the current DOX
file viewer for SymbOS:

...which should be able to convert HTML files into the (internal,
binary) DOX format, too, in the future, but as I mentioned I see some
problems with nested tables. And without them I guess most HTML would
look terrible.

Yes, a BMP reader/converter is easy, in the case of the PCW the result
must to be black and white only.
I use a intermediate internal binary format to see on the screen the
html
file.
My problem is that this internal format works well in text lines, and
I
don't know how to do for images and sophisticated tables.
Currently the support for tables is very simple and basic.
