World Wide Web for your Atari!
==============================

This package basically consists of three parts.

* The HTML parser, by Alexander Clauss (Germany). This will be considered
  the main program by most people.
* STiK, by Steve Adam (Australia). This actually does the low-level
  networking stuff to the Internet.
* HTML.OVL, by Tim Newsome (USA). This is the missing link between the
  parser and STiK.

(I know the countries aren't important, but I just like the idea of global
development. :-))


Legal Stuff
-----------

All the files in this package are freeware. That means you may spread it as
much as you want, but you CAN'T charge money for it. The only money you may
ask is the amount needed for distribution. To distribute these files in any
other way, including magazine cover disks, CD-ROM collections, etc., you'll
have to contact the respective authors first.
You use these programs at your own risk. In the tests quite a few bugs have
been discovered, but none of these trashed hard drives etc. You can feel
reasonably safe using these programs, but if something does go wrong, it's
your fault.


Optional Registering
--------------------

All programs in this package are freeware, but it is suggested that you
send a contribution to the authors for all the time and effort they
have put into the programs, to thank them and show your appreciation.

What you get when you register/contribute:

* MasterDisk with latest versions on
* Support and helping you get on-line, feedback from authors
* Free update service (as long as the fee doesn't rise or the programs
  go commercial)
* The warm feeling inside that you are helping keep the Atari market
  alive!


Contributions fees
------------------

The Internet Access Pack is supported by CyberSTrider (Denesh Bhabuta)

STiK and HTML.OVL supported by CyberSTrider
* Suggested minimum for both is 9 Pounds
* Suggested minimum for HTML.OVL only is 7 Pounds
* Registration for STiK only is 2 Pounds... the more, the better...


Bugs
====

Lots of these. Most notably:
* Problems with GIF images which don't have 256 colors (this will cause
  inexplicable crashes).
* Inexplicable crashes


Stuff to be done
================

Even more, especially:
* FTP and gopher protocols
* HTML forms
* HTML tables
* proper page redirection
