OmniWeb (the WWW app) can be found in ftp.omnigroup.com. Perhaps Omni has
not yet announced this since it is still a pre-release version...From what
I've seen so far, the app is excellent though not yet fully stable. Many
thanks to Omni (and I hope the ftp traffic on ftp.omnigroup.com doesn't
get out of control).

We haven't been announcing it very loudly because it isn't finished yet,
and I know I personally hate it when people dump very early beta copies
of apps on the archive sites and get everyone all excited and then it
turns out the app is kind of cool but largely unusable, and then even
if the app ever does become usable everyone is so burnt from the first
version that they figure the new version bites as well and they never
give it a chance.

Thus, we're trying to keep the initial beta-test group to people who
actually want to beta-test, and not to people who want a usable program.

We'll announce it loud and long when it's usable, don't worry. Excess
humility isn't our problem here.
